The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Delicious food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere.

I drove 12 miles to get fish and chips for our family and friends which would have been 6 large fish, chips and mushy peas plus 5 children's fish and chips. When I arrived there at 20.55 they were closed. I asked the woman behind the Counter what times are the flying times and she said "We fry from five till nine" I told her that I saw they were closed at 20.55. She said "Yeah we close five minutes early but that's only a few minutes." I told her that it was out of order and I'm writing a review. She didn't care. Imagine how much this early closing costs the owners. I will never go there again.

Saw this pub but past it from Blandford Forum direction, and we were hungry. Luckily there was a right hand turning where we could turn around 200yrds away. Good size car park, warm greeting, and extensive menu for a pub lunchtime! I had a delicious beef stroganoff, and hubby had game pie with stilton. All hot, and home made. Such a refreshing change from all the same chain pubs. Portion sizes are generous, interior homely and plenty of space. Lovely big fireplace, prices reasonable, well worth a visit!

Closes 2pm on a Saturday! If you arrive on the 13:50 steam train, you will miss it.

We went here for Sunday lunch when we stayed in Ashcombe, it was absolutely lovely! Food was gorgeous, like a proper home cooked roast. Decent portions & a lovely atmosphere.

Great food and very friendly staff, fish pie was delicious

Great cafe best food we had in Bournemouth. The fried breakfast is quality and so well cooked, lovely iingredients too. great staff too give it a try

I got a take away single shot oat flat white and a slice of bread and butter pudding. The staff were very friendly and the ambience and interior design were inviting and calming. The flat white wasn't a proper flat white - they should be a maximum of 6 fl oz, but this was at least 10 or 11 fl oz, so the ratio of milk to coffee was off. The espresso also didn't have a great flavour profile and I found it a little insipid. This was disappointing as the cost was London prices but the quality wasn't, and I was also expecting more since the board had a fair amount written on it about the origins, processes and profiles of the beans. I also wish they had asked before putting cocoa powder on top, as I would've said no. The bread and butter pudding was yummy, although again I thought it was a bit overpriced. Friendly service, nice-looking cafe, mid coffee and pastry, a bit overpriced - 3/5*

Fabulous fabulous food. Lovely old pub. Dog friendly

Really cute place, even on a rainy day. Went for lunch with friends and we had a lovely time. Portion sizes are great and it's reasonably priced!

We all had the 3 course dinner. The reception and the service throughout were excellent. All rated the whole evening a great success. All were able to make their own choices. We look forward to returning on another occasion.

Very friendly welcome, thank you! Pleasant lunch for both of us. I couldn't eat all of mine (not your fault!). I apologised for this as we left to be told that they give big portions; they certainly do....

Met family for lunch! Lovely to see loads of vegetables on the plate. Lovely lunch, and pudding was delicious too!

Weekday evening here, a very welcoming bar area with open fire, staff very polite and efficient. Good choice of food with a set menu plus ‘a la cart’ as well. The food was really lovely, and reasonably priced, along with good choice of drinks from the bar.

Had lunch here with family yesterday and the food was dreadful, tiny portions, and expensive, 3 of us had the fish pie which had a boiled egg inside & little fish. We were all disappointed and the cappuccinos we received were ony filled to 2/3rds of a cup! Will not be returning to eat here anytime soon, there are much better pubs nearby.
