The best restaurants serving British food in Axminster Town East Devon South West

Wow what a find. Went there on recommendation and was not disappointed. Brunch was fantastic, lovely food, great service with a nice friendly service. A good old traditional cafe. I will drive out of way to go there again.

Wouldn't recommend to anyone. A women who im presuming is the owner or associated with the owner first slammed the door in my face while i was about to walk through it, this was for no reason other then i’m presuming i hadn’t walked into the building fast enough for her liking. Once she was inside and near the table where me and my friends were sat she continue to start an argument because there was currently only one drink on the table (we had drank the rest prior) insinuating we couldn’t be there if we hadn’t bought anything. She then continued to say we were being antisocial despite the fact she had just walked through the door for the first time since we had got there and no one had mentioned anything to us or had any complaints towards us because we were sat in the corner minding our business. I do believe this is based on age and appearance regarding the antisocial comment and us being the only younger ones in there, (there are also many other reviews specifically from younger adults saying how rude and unwelcoming she has been to them as-well). Then finally she told us to get out which we did because it would have escalated.

We didn't realise that the River Cottage Cafe had relocated from Axminster town centre to a lovely location with beautiful views nearby. The experience was very positive with excellent service and delicious food. We both had a pork and sage sausage roll with beautiful lettuce greens grown in the garden (and accompanied with a lovely vinaigrette). The sausage roll also came with a side of kimchi which was tangy and refreshing (and included equal parts carrot and cabbage). The staff who were looking after the cafe were kind, welcoming, and efficient. An added bonus was the car park with plenty of spaces during a Friday lunch time. The views were lovely too!

Well! What a wonderful jewel in Axminster’s Crown. I came to visit following previous tripadvisor comments. I was not let down. A wonderful two egg bacon buttie in freshly warm bread. A sheer delight. My host was equally warming and proud of his town and heritage. I am sure those craftsmen working their looms in the mills creating carpet master pieces would succumb to this delight. Thank you most sincerely.

Haven’t been into this fish and chip shop for a long time but was always good in the past so thought I’d stop by to pick up fish and chips for myself and my partner to share .Having ordered I was very taken aback at the price of £20.40 for a large cod and chips and a curry sauce and even more shocked when I opened the wrappings to find a piece of cod that would barely pass for a medium let alone a large,it was so greasy and the batter over cooked I felt really ripped off and definitely won’t be going back !!! EVER!!
