The best restaurants serving British food in East Devon South West

You don’t have to go to Brittany for an Idyllic setting and the freshest seafood. Great service and great value.

Breakfast was certainly an interesting experience. The incredibly friendly staff certainly had their own unique system of handling groups of over 4 people so you can imagine their delight when we arrived with a group of 20. Potential customers should be aware that you categorically must not order for yourself but through a middle party instead. If you try to order your own food or drink I suggest you speak to the responsible person in your party for them to relay your order to the very lovely rosey cheeked attendant at the till. In my case our responsible person was only 3 foot away from me but we made sure to follow the rules as to not cause an eruption of chaos in the kitchen. When I received my apple juice, I really admired its antique look. The sediment at the bottom and the out of date use by label really added to the chic worn vibe that this hip establishment embellishes by the bucket load. The cleaner is obviously very lucky and has had a long holiday, (possibly to another farm shop the costa del Sol). I say this as the building has acquired an impressive collection of cobwebs in their absence. Now the main event BREAKFAST!!! Everyone likes to start their day with a hearty meal, I feel the two members of staff whole heartedly agreed with me as they left a few extras in some of our food to make sure we didn’t go hungry. One fantastic long black hair that I’m sure is packed full of protein (looked like a moustache hair, but I’m not a barber). One no longer buzzing fly that gave my crispy bacon that extra crunch. I also stayed hydrated through the water that was served to me from a designer tea pot that had amazing tea colouring and stains within in. Once I had consumed my meal I made sure to use the toilet facilities to rid my ablutions apart from the skid marks and the mixtures of cobwebs and urine the toilets were delightful. In all it was an unforgettable magical experience. Shamefully I am stuggling to give it 5 stars and there was a small chip in the plate my breakfast was served on. 4 stars.

Kenniford van at Heathfield MVF. Very mixed levels of service, from a warm greeting to complete disinterest. Sadly the disinterest has increased and I now feel that if they’re not interested then neither am I. O

Had Posh Nosh buffet at a wedding I attended and it was excellent. Plenty of food served buffest style for a more relaxed wedding meal. Food was very fresh with local ingredients and suited every dietary requirement and preference. canapé's before were excellent as well and served very elegantly. the leftovers were also brought out later on in the evening to avoid food waste and provided a good evening snack. cooked fresh on the premise as well with the team working hard throughout the whole day. Highly recommend (can only speak as a guest though).

The restaurant is open Tuesdays to Saturdays. We ate here on 5 nights. Some evenings were busier than others. There was plenty of food choice- starters, mains & desserts and we chose somehting different each evening. Meals were freshly prepared and nicely served. The food was good as was theglass of wine we had each evening. There is also plenty of choice of drinks and cocktails in the Hat or Lemon Bar.

Home cooked meal for a good price, liver n onions was amazing

Three of us went for breakfast it was absolutely brilliant, everything was piping hot, the breakfast yorkshires were amazing. Staff were very helpful and friendly This is definitely worth going to.

Great atmosphere, delicious pizzas & a very friendly vibe. We popped in for Karaoke night, had such a fun time. The team are hardworking and attentive. Thank you.

It’s not temporarily closed Anymore under new management and let me tell you the food is 5* I can’t believe what we got for £41 the biggest most flavoursome meal I have ever ever eaten . We had the roast banquet with 2 drinks it could have easily fed 4 god knows how 2 of us eaten mind you I’m pregnant and husband was very hung over and our baby / 12 month old shared with us I have honestly never eaten anything that good in my life x

Popped in as in area for Sunday lunch. Full roast x2 for £18. Now you may think I bet that was awful. Well it was very good. Hot and tasty. Had a lunch in South East at good restaurant last weekend which was nowhere near as good as this. Thanks. Got to give credit when due. Big portions for price as well. Sat on terrace with great view 👍👍

Lovely large cafe, we sat in the back and they welcomed dogs. We ordered cream tea, tea and bacon and Brie panini. By the time my panini arrived my husband had finished his cream tea… please bring food out together, so families/friends can eat together. Bacon & Brie (usually with cranberry) is my go to. The bacon was ok, but couldn’t taste the Brie as it was cut far too thin. Side salad was amazing though! 😁

I have been using this chip shop for some time but have noticed the standards drop both in food and service. On Thursday 8th August I ordered fish and chips (x2) and paid £10 cash. I was told it would be 10 mins so I popped next door to the Arms for a drink and when I returned 20 mins later the guy behind the counter (I have not seen him before)said he had forgotten to cook my food!?! Rather than wait I just asked for my money back and he said abruptly “we don’t do refunds” ... after another request he just turned out his pocket and promptly slammed my £10 on the counter and said “don’t ever come back” ! To say I was gonna smacked was an understatement ... as if I was ever going back ! I can only imagine he is the new owner (good luck) as the previous guy was very friendly ... I would avoid this place like the plague ... apparently I’m not the only one with a bad experience ...

Miserable rude staff kept waiting over an hour yet arrived early and no one even in restaurant but were told that teh only reservation offer
