The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Called in-and as normal with spoons whom offer excellent value for money quite busy,Service at the bar was quick when ordering drinks and food. Are meals arrived quickly and was hot and freshly cooked brought to us my friendly team member.

Stumbled upon this lovely little pub, just off the High Street in Budleigh Salterton. Could not have wished for a warmer welcome from the Landlord and Landlady. Great little place!

Don’t bother. Save your money. Possibly the worst take-away I’ve ever had. Complained via e-mail and phone but I was wasting my time. Even my dog didn’t want it! Such a shame because the lads behind the counter were so polite and helpful to customers- if only their food was as good.

The fish and fries were crispy. No queue and decent portions. Curry sauce was nice but gravy wasn't the best. It was watery and the server had to give it to us in a cup so it didn't "soak through the container." Kind of wish we picked a different sauce for our loaded fries which were otherwise pretty good.

So-so disappointed, we went there as it was a friend’s birthday and had pizzas but they were as tough as old boots, the knives would not cut through the base, when I tackled the waitress she said it was the way we cook them! I’m 75 so had many pizzas in my time and this is way down my list. The sweet course was nice but at £9 + the slice of cheesecake is the smallest I ever seen and they didn’t even give you a fork so had to use my finger to get it on the spoon. What a let down for a high class area!!!!

I believe this pub was recently sold off by Heavitree after many years of neglect. I'm not sure they do food yet but I was very impressed by the lady behind the bar (Kelly?). She knows her job and has a very good rapport with the customers. We'll be going again.

Well want can I say, falsely advertising its a Bed and breakfast we saw no signs of that and when we got there we were welcome by a sign saying ring here if no answer then phone so no reception. And we was greeted by the owner moaning about his wife all the way to our rm. When shown in the rm we were told that we had a fridge and microwave so straight away you knew that they didn't do breakfast. Had a note given us information about if we needed anything then to phone well the first number didn't work as it had two many numbers as we had a dirty bed cover when we went to bed so the first night was not good so we contacted the owner but because we were trying the number we was told to use and it wasn't working, we finally got through to them but by then it was 14.00 ish and was told nothing could be done about the dirty cover so I said just pop a clean one and I will do it myself. Well the shocking thing is that the house keeper had been into our room to remake the bed by putting the dirty cover back up on the top of the bed.

Poor Sunday lunch main meal. Cold plates, luke warm at best food. I never do poor online reviews but the restaurant manager not interested in the points I made. As a legal practice manager myself I found him rather unprofessional. I don't need to know that he hadn't had any other negative comments. All rather defensive. Some training needed! Starters and deserts good though but won't return.

Very thin piece of fish. Wasn’t “large” at all. More batter than fish. Didn’t feel fresh as well. Rather disappointing.

Amazing food, people, great place. 5/5 Every time i come to England i make it a point to come here for a great meal! It’s in a beautiful place and not too far from Stonehenge. Would recommend this place to everyone

Visited this Bar for lunch with a friend We only wanted a snack & a drink We chose the ham & cheese toastie which at £12 seemed expensive but considering the surroundings we thought we would go with it When it arrived it was just a toastie made from supermarket bread with no salad or extras and not even nicely arranged At £12 this was extortionate , we pointed out this to a member of staff who was sympathetic but obviously it was out of her hands I definitely would not recommend this place to eat

Ordered from here many times but today the baguettes are stale!!! Not impressed. We may have to consider going elsewhere, which would be a shame because I’d rather support a local business.

Came here for my birthday lunch. The staff at the distillery were so friendly telling us about their products and encouraging us to sample them - I had to buy a bottle of the raspberry shrub which was such a vibrant colour it will make any cocktail or dessert look amazing. The open barn is a lovely space and there is a patio and garden area, unfortunately the weather wasn’t that nice so we didn’t explore. For lunch we shared a cheese puff pastry to start which was freshly cooked and full of cheesy filling. I had a pea tart with a fresh salad and focaccia and my husband had the fish and chips, both looked and tasted amazing. The waitress was friendly and the master distiller/owner was on hand to explain to my husband that the beer wasn’t up to their standard but he offered a glass for free. The waitress also offered me a drink when she found out it was my birthday. We will be back to do the distillery tour and bring friends for lunch.

Food all. Looked the same and greasy very local to where I live but was quite busy staff very polite but food not up to scratch

Lovely roast dinner and great value for money. Free pudding with a roast, bargain!! Would be good to have a proper veggie option (not just a veggie sausage), but apart from that the food was delicious!
