The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Garlic butter fries best I’ve ever had!! Sensational.

Stayed overnight in the carpark in our camper. (BRIT STOPS) We found the pub very welcoming right from the minute we walked in. The Publican was great, the other local patrons were great as well. We ate the delicious food from the menu which rated very highly in our UK experience. Decor inside the pub was interesting and there is a massive collection of vinyl LPs with one on the turntable constantly. Highly recommend this pub for food, friendliness and comfort ... 🍽🍺🇦🇺

Popped in for a meal, spent £50. Two weeks later, a charge for £100 came through the post. Shocked and definitely will be boycotting this place.

La pasamos tan bien, el personal del bar tan exuberante, Natalie en particular era tan exuberante, definitivamente el mejor pub de Bournemouth. Xx

Jackie was spot on! Big thanks for making me old man’s birthday. Very friendly and top bit of scram and top value for money Raffle ticket no. 88

rubbish service nasty chicken which was swimming on’y plate chips were okay but that’s it. had an age limit in the kids menu and non optional service charge

Had lunch there today with the wife , my wife had the pork chop and myself the beef excellent meal and service thanks guys 😉

This used to be a regular eating place for many Christchurch diners, but quality and service had gone way down hill during last summer and we just stopped going.... ...But thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of Lucy (Maitre' d) and her staff (some in training),...

We went to Greendales yesterday With a friend who needed a little cheering up and we very much enjoyed the experience We had sandwiches for lunch they were huge The bread was a little to thick But it was highly enjoyable And it came with salad and crisps The salad was fresh and it was good to have a salad that didn't look like it had seen better days And a good mix of salad leaves We wondered around the farm shop that has a lot of different things in and very fresh produce The animals area was a good stroll And coffee at the end of the afternoon finished the day off nicely The staff in the restaurant were really attentive and very good at what they do thank you very much

Although we’re locals the Vinny is also a perfect stopover on A35 being 200m from the Puddletown junction. Martin has transformed the pub recently and the interesting menu extremely good value. Young staff need time to learn their trade and service is now less hesitant- Sunday lunchtime and live music make for busy sessions at most pubs so some may choose to go then, or conversely choose to avoid. I’d highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed. Altogether a bit quirky, but all the more special for that reason. Enjoy it for what it is.

Firstly one of the party was given calamari as a starter when the order was sweet & sour chicken. One of the mains was fish & chips. A child's portion would have been bigger & the fish looked like it was from a Birds Eye packet. Salad was inedible due to a disgusting dressing, the chips were dry & tasteless. Ordered a second drink & it never arrived.

Starters were good. However, 4 mains arrived leaving two waiting. After a short time then the two told us to carry on. The server approached & asked what were they waiting for (not a good sign!) she was told two steak & ale pies. She went away & then came back to say that they had somehow been missed & they would be cooked as a matter of priority. We carried on eating ours & my son said that the ordered belly pork, wasn't belly pork, was more like a chop & dry. He did tell the server & she said she'd tell the kitchen. That was the last we heard. The four of us had finished our mains before the two pies arrived. Five if us decided to have a dessert. Two of us were quite excited to see baked Alaska on the menu, it had been years since we'd had it. Well it wasn't baked Alaska at all! I did tell the server but didn't really get a response. It was like shop bought meringue nest topped with ice-cream & sauce, topped with another dome of hard meringue. No sponge in sight & no soft meringue, what a huge disappointment. I went to pay, I was treating my family, mentioned again about the dessert not being as on the menu & my son also mentioned about his pork not being belly pork & dry. Nothing more was said, not even saying she'd take off the desserts. I payed & left. We'd been before, a while ago & enjoyed our meals but I certainly wouldn't rush back & neither would my son & his family.

Enjoyed an authentic British pub lunch here on our first day in England on our drive to Bath. Perfect place to get us ready for our British adventure! Toasties and Guinness! It was very cozy and traditional inside. Service was friendly and attentive and the food was really good and reasonably priced. Toasties, we learned, are basically grilled cheese sandwiches but with modifications. This one included small bits of white onion and was really good with the fries! We also enjoyed their sister restaurant in Bath, the Pig and Fiddle in Bath which was also quite good but their Toasties had green scallions! Recommend both for a quick, tasty lunch!

Honestly awful. Place looks dated and need of modernising. Food is lacklustre at best and way overpriced for what you get. Described as 'fresh' by the owner but its obviously frozen and heated up. London prices for cheap, barely/unedible food Will not be returning.

Nice traditional publc house and restaurant. Food not tried, but the Sunday lunches being served made our moths water! Great beer (London Pride and others) served in good condition and served bpleasant young bar staff. Beer garden is an asset and could be improved with grass cutting and level tables. I'll be back to check out the Sunday lunch roast beef(and the wonky beer garden too!)
