The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Good traditional pub with good food and a selection of beers and larger.

What a beautiful place to enjoy some great food and drinks! Couldn't recommend this pub enough! The staff are absolutely lovely, was served by T and Owen and will definitely be returning soon!

Generous roast Sunday lunch which everyone enjoyed, but very intermittent service. After 20 minutes, we had to go to the hostess desk as the sparkling water we ordered as we sat down hadn't arrived, and nor had anyone to take our drinks or food orders. This resulted in our orders being taken, but after another 15 minutes, we had to ask again for the water and the drinks. We were at out table for over 30 mins before we all had something to drink. The food then arrived quickly, although one dessert was forgotten and had to be asked for. The food was all good, but let down by the service. When pubs ask to have the tables back for the next sitting, they need to make sure you are served so that you can eat and have coffee before having to leave.

Nice pub with usual selection of items.

No music, cheap food, cheap booze but family friendly. It's a spoons after all.

Everything and everyone was just perfect ! ... We had a really nice early evening meal and a pint ... We will certainly visit again next time in the area 🤗

Affordable food and drinks and close by car-park.

I genuinely have to applaud the staff. This chain has a particular modus operandi, which is a challenge in itself. Being both affordable and hospitable to the masses in tandem is no easy task. The Cerdic management can be commended on those it employs, namely those that stand up rigorously to the extreme varied volumetric patron numbers and the pressures that this produces, especially given the size of the establishment. It is not for me when the 'masses frequent on their evening of well deserved leisure' but outside these times, it serves my purpose.

6 of us had the tasting menu at the Pony last Saturday night (Oct 6th 2024). It was excellent from beginning to end. We highly rated a meal here last year, but this one was even better. The food was delicious, and we loved hearing about its provenance. We had different favourite courses, with 2 votes for the duck pate and brioche, one for the prawn dish, one for the cod dish and two for the venison, but we all loved every course. The service was also excellent - shout out to Caris, Nat and Emma who absolutely made the evening. Their enthusiasm, obvious passion in what they do, knowledge and generally lovely manner made this a superb birthday experience for me, and a memorable family meal for us all. Thank you Pony team.

A good JDW pub in the centre of Devices ... As always good food and drink, as you would expect !

Called into jolly sailor for a bite to eat and drink. Lovely decor in a traditional pub. Clean and warm and presentable place. Food was good, warm, good value and served promptly by the lovely Sophie who was very friendly and helpful with some good tips on what to visit and do in the local area. She is a great asset for the pub.

Only Bristol cathedral Canons manage such a welcome. It turns out that you should know you can only eat if you book in advance. Wonderful eh?

First time I've been in there without a barman giving unwarranted grief.. it's actually a nice pub..!!

Good food and excellent service

Came for lunch for a family members birthday. Walked from Durdle Door down to Lulworth Cove having booked 3 tables for the 16 of us. Food was delicious and staff very friendly. Would certainly return in the future.
