The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Never open, literally 5th time I checked. No sign nothing.

4 of us stopped lunch. Really was very good. I had their Turkish eggs, which were so good I got up half way through to ask what herbs and spices they had made it with. Would fully recommend.

Great place for healthy food whether to eat I or take away.

First time for my son and I, nice and relaxed atmosphere, nice friendly staff, service spot on, food was fantastic, could only manage 2 courses, nice beer, Piggy Pilsner, we will return.

We had a family afternoon tea in a private room here. The food was exquisite and the staff/service excellent.

Everything is great about this little restaurant..food is very tasty, friendly service & cosy atmosphere..top class.

My cousin and I had lunch here today. Excellent atmosphere, food, drink and service.

Friday evening, table booked for two with dog at 19.00. We arrived half an hour early and ordered o couple of 'local ciders'; one was Devon, one Somerset so all good so far. We were told we could order food as we liked, regardless of being super early and we were shown which table was ours. Our dog enjoyed some banter with a couple of local mutts which nobody seemed to worry about and we settled in at the table opposite the bar. After a couple more scoops we ordered from the large blackboard menu; the overall choice was a mix of modern tastes (Mac and cheese, bang bang cauliflower, vegan African curry), old favourites (fish & chips, ham, egg and chips, pie, scampi, steak) and home cooked beauties (lamb three ways, bhuna curry, braidsed shin of beef). We ordered a stater of sweet and sour battered prawns and some belly pork cubes. Both presented after a decent cooking time and both looked delicious. The prawns were huge and were lightly battered and the pork tender and super tasty. These weren't waiting out the back, they were cooked to order, absolutely delicious and presented with various comforting sauce drizzles, the odd roasted nut and a variety of salad leaves. Mains followed, a local venison pie with chips and the burger with fries. The shortcrust pie came with tasty gravy and a really well cooked vegetable dish of suede / carrot mash and broccoli and cabbage and the burger was cooked medium with a soft bun, cheese, tomato, lettuce and battered onion rings. Both were hefty but really delicious and whilst we both struggled to empty the plate we really enjoyed them. The food was amazing but what was absolute was the immaculate service from the gent and lady at the bar (presumably the owners) and the young lad who ran between tables, checking on overall satisfaction. We have been here previously but this is our first review; we're walking in the area tomorrow and will definitely stop in, that said I believe the rugby is on their big projector so it may be o different experience, albeit the landlord invited us to let him know when we'd be coming and he'd look after us. Genuine gem of a pub; food great, service warm, Locals friendly and dogs very welcome.

Called twice each time web site saying open but on arrival at 17.45 closed,need to up date web site, unfortunately lost customer,

First class. Very generous portions.

I had our 25years wedding anniversary on 16th Aug, at the orestone hotel. Fab service excellent food, nothing to much trouble. 5 star review.

As usual great experience - taster menu looks fab - will be returning yet again

Gran desayuno, buena calidad, bien cocinado, buen servicio. Bajo una nueva gestión, la comida , el servicio y los precios tan buenos como antes, sin duda estarán de vuelta cuando en Bournemouth

Great value fish and chips, cooked to order in an excellent fashion

A great find, excellent service and food. Lovely setting with nice ambience. Do not be put off by entrance, climb the stairs and you will be very pleasantly surprised.
