The best restaurants serving British food in South Hams South West

Outstanding ice cream. I’ve eaten ice cream all over the world and I have to say Salcombe Ice Cream is probably in the top 3 out of the hundreds if not thousands I have tasted. I tried three flavours, Salcombe Mud, Chocolate Orange and Blond Chocolate. Very good indeed.

We come down to the Salcombe area each year and stayed in East Prawle two years ago. One of the biggest draws back to this lovely village for us this year was the Piglet Cafe. The food is excellent and the service is, without fail, friendly and welcoming. We had our one year old and Labrador with us this year and could not have been made to feel more welcome. We had breakfast every morning (amazing!) and a couple of other meals which were also lovely. Homemade, tasty, good quality food. Thank you to Julie and the rest of the Piglet Cafe team.

As a family of 4 we come to Al Fresco's whenever we are in Dartmouth, the cafe is a draw with its almost parisian atmosphere. Although best tasted in the summer months when the place is bustling, we had a wonderful brunch together at the start of January. The rest of the family had the full cooked breakfast I settled for Synamon with bacon, this was delicious. The staff are friendly and accommodating and yet again, we loved out visit. I only leave 5 star reviews, if I don't like a place or find fault, I'll simply not recommend. I love Al Frescos and recommend it. 5 Star.

Lovely interesting food served by welcoming staff in a relaxed environment. The food is fresh and well prepared and is plentiful. Lunch menu is a set menu, chose vegetarian or not. Lovely desserts too. Wide variety of interesting drinks.

A lovely place for coffee, cakes and more! Andrew has a lovely friendly team who will do their best to feed and look after you. I’m very happy to recommend this place!

really lovely friendly staff....whilst we only had a baked potato, the presentation was good and the food very tasty . I visited the toilets and can only say they were spotless which always gives an indication of how much a business cares. When we are back in the area we wil not hesitate to go there again for lunch/afternoon tea

Excellent view. Great selection of specials. Seafood heaven. Lovely selection of pastries too. Additional bonus: They sell bait for fishing and crabbing.

My family and I have visited the Church House Inn a number of times and it is a fantastic pub for all seasons. There is always a cosy fire in the winter and the garden is a treat for when the sun is shining! The service is fantastic, very welcoming and friendly staff, and to top it all off the food is particularly excellent. Highly recommend as a destination!

Super and quaint. Helpful and friendly staff. Rooms were great. Just what we needed.

Absolutely amazing! Friendly staff to start off. Chicken was absolutely incredible! Pizzas were lovely and warm. Pasta was hot and tasty. Overall, incredible experience. Highly recommend

Would have loved to tried to food this is a warm welcoming pub and the food smells and looks amazing we will try and come back to give it a go fantastic menu too👍

We visited for lunch and it was superb. Very friendly welcome and atmosphere. The food was all very good as usual - it never disappoints!

This pub was very traditional and had a very cosy vibe. The food was absolutely fantastic and all home cooked which me and my partner both loved. The staff were very kind and a nice selection of local drinks which I loved. If I lived closer this would definitely be my local!

We were staying in Totnes and decided to go for a dog walk for a pub lunch. It took about 1 and 1/2 hrs along a metalled road so no traffic. We were made very welcome from the moment we entered with our 2 dogs. We ordered our drinks and then our food. The food was absolutely lovely. We had another drink and had a chat with the landlady, and our dogs made friends with their basset hound. Well worth a visit and we will definitely be returning when we are in Totnes next.

SUPERB…. We had the haddock, chips, minted peas etc personally delivered to our accommodation , a beautiful holiday cottage behind the restaurant, which is dog friendly and has stunning views. The whole experience is excellent and we cannot fault any of it. Everything wonderfully cooked to perfection. Thankyou.
