The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Lovely views over looking back beach , on a lovely sunny april afternoon only had drinks , found to be reasonably priced , they do food but didn't try this time , looking forward to trying on next visit, staff friendly and welcoming

We are on holiday and fancied some chips we had scampi and chips and pie and chips and the chips were disgusting they were over cooked and tasted like they had been cooked an hour ago nearly twenty pounds wasted it all went straight in the bin 🤮

Quiet when we came so got a great table with a view of the harbour. Good tasty quality food for the price, and nice friendly service as well.

Went in January 2024 was lovely, couldn't fault anything. February 2025 - got our drinks then announced we had a table booked. The barman shower us to our table, came back to take our order, fine. Nobody else eating as very quite. When our food arrived the meat was almost past it's best, mushrooms again to far gone, over cooked. The other meal was cooked to long so that the filling had run out, otherwise that meal would've been perfect. We'd finished our meal ( no one asked if everything was ok) and we wait 20 to be asked if we wanted pudding and clear our plates. So we decided to pay and leave. On leaving the chef was back at the bar, he was drunk. Having run pubs before its certainly not a good advert. They lost money as we were going to have pudding and more drinks. It was like we were an inconvenience to them.

Best Fish 'n Chips in Weymouth.

I highly recommend this lovely Country Pub in Cranborne in Dorset. Very professional and kind Staff. They did a grand job for us for my late fathers wake. Lovely food friendly Atmosphere. And a lovely comfy bed to relax in after a emotional day 😌.

This is a fast food cheap and cheerful resteraunt ideally placed for a bite before or after visiting the museum .The pies are the best choice

Excellent country pub with friendly staff and wonderful food and drink. Specials available each week which complements their standard menu. Desserts are fabulous especially the variations on the cheesecake. Definitely worth a visit!

This is a very nice pub but called in for drinks at 3pm on a Saturday. Struggled to find a table as minority occupied or mostly reserved but empty . Two hours later the majority of the reserved tables were still unoccupied . Poor management in my view.

This was our first meal out after lockdown and what an excellent meal it was. Our Sunday roast was delicious as was Mum’s scampi & chips. The desserts were equally tasty. The service was very cheerful and prompt. We wish everyone at the White Horse a successful summer and beyond. Thankyou

Fabulous find at the end of a hot morning walk. Dog friendly, seating inside or out. Coffees were great, we all had a breakfast bap of one sort or another. Little tannoy call to come and collect from the table. Best thing is the view! Paradise Can't wait to come again

If you follow the postcode for this establishment you'll end up in a field miles away! If you go to co-ordinates; N52.06.329, W 03.49.370 you will get a good pint and you'll meet probably one of the best landlords in the country. Enjoy

Haldon Forest is a great location for walks or cycling (non-cyclists and drivers look out for wayward bike riders) and afterwards for a breakfast or lunch at The Ridge Café. We all wish though that some more of the lunchtime meal offerings were available earlier, at least from 10ish. Would this really be a problem? The staff though are great, very cheerful and keen to help even when they are understaffed at the counter. If you’re planning to visit, just check the internet, maybe under Forestry England, for events, which seem to be on the increase, as it can get very very busy.

Called in for a drink. Disinterested landlord could barely make eye contact with us. No attempt to converse and mumbled thank you as we left. There was no one else in the pub, I’m not surprised. We won’t go back.

Regent Omelette Bar, another cafe but this one specializes in omelettes so tried them. The decor is nice and old. I was captivated by the Bristol omelette which had asparagus. For it to be on the menu it must be a popular item. It made me think that if the asparagus was there all year round whether it would be fresh or canned but canned would make more sense in terms of consistency. Anyway, for those who cant decide you can also get the six egg omelettes with a choice of 9 toppings.
