The best restaurants serving British food in South West

When it’s open it’s ok. Seems to be run as a hobby though because the opening times are haphazard at best. Rubbish wine choice. Only a few beers available. God knows when the CAMRA award was given. No chance now. Avoid this pub and go elsewhere.

We've been coming to the Weavers regularly since we moved to Bodmin 5 years ago and have always had positive experiences however this afternoons visit has do been very disappointing. We popped in for a couple drinks, the bar had a steady flow of customers but neither the bar or restaurant areas were particularly busy. The woman behind the bar was clearly stressed and appeared hostile towards customers. She rolled her eyes and verbalised her annoyance when a group of guests arrived for their restaurant reservation. When she eventually got round to serving me and my husband she abruptly demanded to know rust we wanted and started walking off before we finished ordering. I had a card reader presented and bluntly stated the total amount before walking off with the machine after the payment had been processed. Her attitude and overall lack of any customer service was very disheartening. She was very rude and clearly had no desire to be at work. We have always thought of the Weavers as a friendly, welcoming place to relax however if this is the general attitude of staff moving forward, we'll refrain from returning where we clearly aren't wanted.

Four of us went for Sunday Lunch after a Sunday Morning walk. The drinks were very good, (Can't say that about a lot of pubs who only sell cheap unheard of Lager, I had Peroni). The food was excellent (we all had the beef) and the dishes of veg were perfectly cooked. The gravy was plentiful and tasty. Service was first class and when the bill came it was less than expected. We will definitely be heading back there in the near future.

We held our Golden Wedding anniversary here on Saturday (16th) with just a smallish party of 59 guests and from beginning to end, it was a fabulous experience for every single person. The food was outstanding, especially the slow braised British beef (which I had) that simply melted in the mouth, it was that tender. Every person had chosen each course from a choice of three options and nobody was disappointed with what was placed before them. Likewise, the breakfast was superb. All the staff on the day were brilliant and made sure that we were happy and enjoying ourselves. A special mention has to go to Angela from the Wedding & Events Team - what a gem she is and truly a credit to the venue! Over the many months of planning, nothing was ever too much trouble for her and her responses to my many email queries were very quick. Some very precious memories were made that day, in a beautiful setting, that will last for a long time for both us and all our guests.

Just had a great family meal at the White Hart. We used to love the food under the old management and chef, but this was even better. The little touches like home made bread with the starters made all the difference Really hope they succeed, we’ll be back!

What a wonderful pub! Easily missed, since off the main road, but so pleased we found it. Cosy, rustic pub serving excellent wholesome and tasty food. Lunch time only menu and with only a few choices, but every dish is an absolute joy. The service of the great food and drinks is also superb, with plenty of choice of local ciders and beers. Such a rarity to find such a real gem these days!

Silly fresh dont come here so often

The Lord Nelson is our local so an easy choice for a family get-together to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary. We had a table for 20 and took over the skittle alley which doubles as a function room. Everyone attending had a great time and the pub and staff received lots of compliments. They are all extremely friendly and professional, and Mark’s food is excellent. Not sure we’ll make the skittles team though!

Stopped here a few times to break our journey home to Frome. Food and ale always top notch. Never disappoints. Highly recommended, well worth a visit.

Love this pub made to feel at home by Landlord

Excellent short stay in this very old pub with so much history. Thank you to Amber and her young team, also Chef Lewis for helping to rearrange the already varied menu to meet my medical dietary needs

I don't often post but that was awful, the southside burger was mush. Not sure if it was deep fried but it was disgusting. If you are there don't go for a burger unless you like a pattie like greecey baby food

Lovey village pub, very dog friendly! Food was great value for money and extremely tasty! Very relaxed atmosphere and felt very welcome. It also had Harry’s rhubarb cider on table which was a bonus, it went down a treat!

First time visiting for Sunday Lunch, after hearing lots about The New Fountain Inn from our friends. We both had the roast dinner it was delicious, cooked to perfection. The beef was tender and vegetables well seasoned, the gravy spot on. Their specials boards sounded mouth watering so many choices, we will definitely be back to try. We heard there was new head chef, he’s certainly made a difference, in this village. Service team were attentive and welcoming. We look forward to our next visit.

Excellent evening here, food was amazing, service was excellent, waitress very happy. Highly recommend the homemade pizzas.
