The best restaurants serving British food in Mid Devon South West

Amazing place Antony and his staff where most hospitable .Fresh food from his land the best in the west. Good pricing structure

Great salami lovely selection of cheeses. Like more West country cheeses. Second visit. A must visit when in Crediton.

Good food. Value for money. Friendly staff. Always made to feel welcome

Lovely rooms, friendly and attentive staff, great food and great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Very poor service and hospitality I will never return.

I am a regular visitor to The Old Well with my friends, we have a girls day out on a Tuesday & one of our favourite places is The Old Well we spend the day there & have coffee, lunch & tea. The staff are so friendly and always make us feel welcome they are a special crew. Thank you for always taking the trouble to make us feel special. Looking forward to our next visit xxx

Called in for lunch after a walk from Dulverton. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. The fish & chips was very good as was the ham, egg and chips. We'll definitely be back when we're back in the area.

If you're in the area then definitely check this place out. The food tastes amazing and the service is great. Really friendly staff. Would highly recommend if you're looking for somewhere to eat.

Once again we enjoyed a lovely meal at The Halfway House, freshly cooked & very tasty, served by great friendly staff Full marks to the chef

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Staff normal, friendly people. Food and coffee good and a good price

After being in hospitality for over 20 years it takes plenty of experience to be as adaptive and versatile as these employees. Seeing 2 of them jump between reception, restaurant, bar and serving food was impressive. Whilst I don't agree it's fair to allow people to be overwhelmed and stretched just for the sake of saving a few ££ as it subsequently forces people to jump between roles. These two ladies in particular handled it graciously and perfectly so well done! However it is not a fair work practice hence the score

A bit disappointed as booked for 7.15, and when arrived at least 5 meals were not available, don't know how many of the specials had already gone. The service was quite slow, food did taste lovely but couldn't find the cauliflower in the side of cauliflower cheese just leeks. Also one of us ordered a beer which he saw as we came in but by the time we were served it was already gone and the barrel was changed to something else! Never had this problem before it's just a good job that the staff were pleaseant

Enjoyed a delicious meal at Penquen Fish Bar! The cod was enormous and perfectly cooked—so fresh and tasty. The chips were equally great, crispy on the outside and soft inside. Overall, a fantastic takeaway experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving quality fish and chips!"

Stopped off on the way home from Exmoor, had coffee and scones. Lovely dining area, outside seating and working mill. Great gift shop, no tat here, nice quality products with a vast range of goods.

Our first time at the Lamb for a while, and sadly it didn't live up to expectations. The pub had long been known for great locally produced food, great beer with a warm and lively atmosphere. We visited mid-week and found the experience to be rather underwhelming. The menu has some wonderful dishes on it, alongside some pub classics - not exciting, but a solid menu. We ordered a variety of starters and mains. The waitress returned to our table to deliver our food and told us there had been a mistake in the kitchen and that the mains were being prepared to come out with or before the starters. It seems to us that the chef wanted to go home promptly, as the kitchen closed at 8pm and this was as around 1945. My wife had the cod tacos and they were brilliant - tasty, well presented and truly creative. My children had the kids beef burgers and I had a chicken burger. The burgers weren't great. The children's burger was just a plain burger in a bap, (no option for cheese etc). They both complained the burger was dry. My chicken burger was tasty, but the chicken was overcooked and therefore quite tough on the edges. The chips were fantastic! Dessert was good. We were informed the kitchen had no cream and that meant a couple of the dishes were off/needing to be adapted. Three tasty puddings (ice creams and the sundae) arrived and were enjoyed by all. Overall it fell below expectations. Perhaps our expectations were too high, but it isn't a shadow of what it once was. I hope our visit was not typical. The Lamb holds a special place in my heart and it is painful to write a review that isn't gushing with admiration. But sadly it was the worst meal we had out this week. Another local pub the following night showed us just what was missing. A plea to the Lamb team - rather than defending criticism and feedback (which your reviews are full of), embrace it and improve. It's an amazing spot but it isn't hitting the mark at present. It can be so much more than it is today.
