The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Booked a table for 4 for the Sunday Carvery to celebrate a birthday. Good selection of meats available with tasty vegetables, yorkshires and pigs in blankets. The dessert choice was excellent. I can personally recommend the profiteroles whilst the waffle, cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding were also much appreciated. Altogether a most enjoyable meal served by the friendly, helpful and attentive staff. I will definitely visit the West Country Inn again.

Lured by a FB ad of a 'new menu' we tried lunch here. The restaurant didn't look prepared; posters on some tables, no welcoming atmosphere. We went through to the bar where there were menus. It was a chilly damp day but no fire, the fireplace looked unused; the decor was dark & 'querky'. We chose a pork casserole & Thai curry. After ordering we were told that there would be a wait as he was busy with another order (though the place seemed deserted) & the food arrived in half an hour. The curry was meaty but sitting on a base of glutinous rice, not at all like the illustration on the FB page where the rice was in a separate bowl served with green beens; there were no beans at all. The casserole was a bowl of thick soup with no discernable potato (as stated in menu) but the taste was OK. So, very disappointing food, in a dreary room. We felt sorry for the bar person who was trying hard. Won't be back.

Came here for some food and coffees. The only thing that was nice was the drinks. The bread on our hotdogs, burger and sandwich was dry and chips didn't look cooked enough. My dad asked for a bacon baguette which they don't do even though they had bacon and baguettes. Won't be eating there again.

I've been going to this place for a few years and the coffee shop used to be lovely after a browse in the second hand clothes shop. Unfortunately the coffee shop has now closed but the second hand shop remains open. I am having a spring clean a nd found two pairs of shoes and two dresses from Monsoon I have never worn and were quite expensive so thought I would try and sell them there. I was made to wait whilst the very snooty up her own backside woman finished writing. When she deigned to look up she took one look at me, hardly looked at my shoes and dresses and said 'oh no definitely not'. I had just come back from a dog walk so she probably thought I wasn't posh enough to shop at her second hand clothes shop. I will never go there again and neither will my friends who used to use it regularly. That woman needs to learn some manners I was absolutely appalled.

They do not serve food. Apparantly they have not served food for 5 years. Think the website needs updating

Visited the Fun Factory on a rainy day with my baby. To book in, other children in the waiting area were running into his pram. The gates were hard to open. Upon arrival, we were told, that the only available tables were upstairs and there was no lift! I had to carry the baby and pram up the stairs. Walking through the downstairs department was like trying to run through a jungle. We finally got to our table which was covered in what looked like chewed food and saliva and all over the chairs too. I am aware that soft play areas are noisy but this was more than that. I took the baby down to play in the under 3's section which was a tiny cage. There weren't many activities for him to play with. The baby mirror in there was dirty, the ball pit was over crowded. To get on the slide, it was a climb and with a baby, it proves impossible. Older children were coming in the baby section and scaring him and leaving the gate open which I was furious about. The sensory toys were broken. A 7 year old girl was in there throwing balls at him too and I had a go at her mum and told them to get out. I told a member of staff and they did nothing about it. He also had some lunch there which looked cheap and processed. You could literally see the fat dripping off it. You are apparently allowed to take the babies in the older children's play area but I was straight away put off when i saw the filth on some of the children's socks and the rate they were running around! In order to make this a better place you really need to add a lift, make a better play area for babies, get friendlier and more helpful staff, healthier food, clean the place and maybe even give it a revamp, buy more toys for the baby area and in general make it more appealing. Until Fun Factory up their game, I'm certainly not going back. Unless you want your babies to have a day of being in the worst play area of all time, don't come here!

Hot chocolates were absolutely appalling. Possibly the worst I have and service was very poor too, rude and abrupt. Not a good experience at all

After looking forward to afternoon tea at this hotel I was extremely disappointed with the whole experience. Although in a beautiful setting the afternoon tea was disappointing, Luke warm tea, poor sandwich’s and no staff around. We spent half an hour waiting for staff to attend once we were seated then waited again for the tea etc. Not something I expected from this hotel. Staff service was extremely poor and the whole occasion lacked atmosphere. I would not recommend this experience for the price it cost.

The sirloin beef was excellent, and the vegetable cook produced perfect freshly cooked vegetables to go with the meal (no English mustard?). The restaurant was clean and the view is amazing. Nonetheless, the best meals are served by good waiters. I felt sorry for our waitress who had so obviously received totally inadequate training; we had to ask for a drinks menu. It was about twenty minutes before the wine I ordered arrived at our table. After our meal had been served, no one came to ask if everything was OK, (and it wasn't a busy day). we had to wait ages for our plates to be cleared and again when we wished to order our desert (As, I noted, did our neighbouring table). The pleasant atmosphere was somewhat spoiled by rather loud Musac. This was a rather harsh noise coming from the speaker above our head, completely tuneless and utterly pointless. If you feel the need to put a noise through the speakers, please make it relaxing. And tuneful would be nice!

Good local pub with a good quiz on Wednesdays. The pub has a very unique door which is shaped like a barrel.

A great pub in the heart of Cheddar, with a great atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

Fabulous pub. Good friendly service, great views over looking the Helford Passage.

Typical witherspoon, busy but good service..
