The best restaurants serving British food in South West

A pretty good chip shop in the heart of the village. Pretty standard menu and average prices. Service was quick, but it was quiet when we were there.

The BEST hot chocolate ever!!!! It was a cold, wet and miserable Saturday when we arrived in Charmouth for a walk. Once the dog had been walked I really fancied a hot chocolate to warm me up! The cafe provided just that, and not any old hot chocolate, honestly the best I have ever had!

Incredibly bad , I am terribly mean but have thrown out better food Sunday lunch veggie option, same without meat not heard that for decades Veggie sausage hard ..so hard doweling or missile don’t eat if you have and sort of dental issues Service poor one nice lady Just don’t do it , nice looking scone tasted of nothing and soggy Was actually a a bonus after the rest Also had some soup quit nice Potatoes rather like the sausage but just inedible and had no other use. Anyone old enough to rennet the mockery of service stations in the 70’s this is worse Bt food is superior ..

I ordered gammon steak with chunky chips, pineapple, egg and peas, my partner ordered burger and chunky chips. Chips were not chunky and were over cooked and greasy, gammon was tough and greasy, no peas and burger was greasy. We both felt nauseous all evening! Would definitely not eat there again or recommend !!

Absolutely miserable staff wouldn't go again I like polite helpful staff here they are neither go to the coffee shop in yealmpton or Newton ferrers

Second week in a row that the service, after ordering & paying, was very slow. 10+ mins for a drink to be served strikes me as very slow! No apology!

We only just popped in for a quick coffee but my cappuccino (oat milk) was so good I felt compelled to leave a review! I usually drink a plain Americano but fancied a change. I find a cappuccino can often be quite insipid, but this was strong and very hot so will definitely be back again!

Really horrible food. Chips not cooked, sausages vile, burgers cheap and horrible. Only nice thing was the curry sauce. Fab delivery driver. Not a great experience this time!

Lo que estaba pasando hoy en el café. NO hay bandejas, no hay tazas de café, NO hay cuchillos, el servicio de comida lenta y el operador de la caja en nuestro lado de la cafetería desapareció dejando solo una caja abierta. DECEPCIONANTE También solo agua fría en el baño de caballeros.

Please, do not confuse The Shambles of Dartmouth is a bar but it’s No.1 on Higher street (in the corner T junction with Smith Street) yes, small place, music and good company See you there xx

Flaky cod and crispy batter. Enjoyed by river with bottle of wine from next door - best summer day every year for 20 years!

Disgusting service from an elderly lady in here. My daughter was rudely approached by the old hag, and told not to eat her sausage roll in the restaurant as she isn’t a customer. I explained that I was going to be eating and buying drinks. We didn’t even have the time to find a seat, as my daughter was collared by her half way in. Now I totally respect that places don’t want you eating food from other eateries. But her manner and approach was completely aggressive, and to approach an 11 year child. I explained that if there is an issue to then speak with me, the parent. Totally rude and ill mannered, and the rest of the staff had an awful attitude. I’ve eaten here before and food has always been mediocre. Just cheap and cheerful. The service is just appalling. AVOID

Booked table . Restaurant empty, no one else in the dining room. Had to ask where we put our coats. Service extremely slow , ordered pre-lunch drinks at bar as no one attended to us, and had to ask for menu as no-one came to take our order. Long, long wait for main course and inbetween courses. Main courses very tasty but whole meal served already on plates not in serving dishes. Puddings very disappointing, profiteroles stodgy , heavy , no cream or sauce with these or the chocolate tart, very basic . Had to go to bar to request coffees. We were very neglected , staff were more interested in putting Christmas decorations up and putting fake flower arrangements around. It took three hours for five persons to be served lunch and it felt as if we were unimportant. Very disappointed , lots of staff but no attention to dining guests.

We visited again the following week. This time we had fish and chips. The service was friendly and helpful. The food arrived hot, plentiful and delicious. Thank you for your good service.

Ordered 2 haddock, the battery was hard and overcooked, difficult to cut and the fish was dry, chewy and there was hardly any flesh , very disappointed Purchased 24/09/24 7pm
