The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Wow what a change from my last visit. Under new management and you can definitely tell. Great relaxing atmosphere, good real ale, and lovely home cooked food. A traditional pub well worth a visit.

Very efficient and helpful. Wonderful portion sizes for price. Veg tastes and looks fresh even peas not like bullets as in most of places by my house. Breakfast is good size and can change food around if certain items not wanted.

Came for lunch with the dog after recommendation of nearby vet. Welcomed. Allowed to sit wherever we chose. Menu immediately available and specials updated. Quaint area at the far end with a few books on shelves and some white fairy lights strung about the ceiling. We were at the other end. Almost all customers pensioner couples and a two eccentrics sat as singles. We both went for specials. I had the odd sounding soup - cauliflower, brocoli, Stilton and Yarg, followed by my first ever circular veg lasagne and my partner the puff pastry topped chicken and leak pie. All these dishes were (and we were warned) much, much too hot - but we waited and although the lasagne had little texture all three items were tasty. With a pot of tea each the lunch came to approx £34 which was about right. I’m not sure we would have taken the place as being arty (maybe they have evening events?). The high level vent in the lavatory was blocked by dust and fluff; and the varnished surface of our, and the other tables we could see had a crinkled and rough surfaces, giving the impression that they were wet and or sticky which they actually weren’t. Don’t like even low level gripes but surely this business could spend a short time vacuuming those vent, sanding and putting a fresh coat on the table tops and most importantly showing the kitchen how to send out food and edible temperatures. The two servers who dealt with us were very friendly, informative and helpful. This place is nothing special but we had a good lunch and I dare say we could not have had a better one in any other Okehampton cafe.

My go-to cafe. The pastries and quiche are exceptional. Always friendly staff, warm atmosphere.

We were not staying on the holiday park but decided to go for an evening meal on a Sunday as we were staying close by We were disappointed. Quite a lot of the menu was not available so our choice was limited which is difficult when you have food issues. My husband's fish was not good and my friend and I had to order a starter with salad as nothing else suited us. The food was very disappointing considering what we paid. Not good value for money

Visited after the gallery, had been beforehand and they did lovely salads, quiches, coffee and cakes, hadn't realised menu had changed but thought would try it, big mistake. Overpriced, over £40 for soft drink and 1 course lunch, worst thing was service, unfriendly, miserable staff, won't bother going there again. Porthmeor cafe on the beach outside has far better views, lovely staff and great food so will stick to going there!

Great sports facilities with a well used clubhouse. Great range of drinks too with a superb view over the hockey pitch.

What a great club and facilties

Fantastic food, a lovely view and the service was really good. Well priced for the location. There is a separate kids menu too. Facilities were clean. Will definitely visit again 😊

NO LONGER SERVES FOOD went for lunch but found they have stopped serving food. seems a nice pub. had drinks and crisps of various flavours

Went down for dinner on the evening we arrived. As we were the only people dining at the time we were given a choice of tables. Drinks order was taken promptly while we chose from a fairly extensive menu. Drinks promptly arrived and food order was taken, but there was then a twenty minute wait before the food arrived. The food was only just about average, given the price of the courses I truly expected better. The fish and chips was not freshly prepared with the batter being hard not crispy, the fish itself was over cooked, it had obviously been kept in an oven after being cooked. the sausage in the toad in the hole was not of any high quality with a lot of rusk in the filling. Breakfast the next morning was acceptable, again the sausages were not the best. I feel that this could and should be addressed as the quality of ingredients is a lot lower than the prices applied to meals The restaurant staff were helpful and polite in general but I do not enjoy being referred to as “ my darling” by the person waiting on at breakfast, in an hotel of this stature I would expect sir and madam to be a better choice of address.

I booked 2 nights for friends online, i had some simple questions about parking and accessibility but couldn't get hold of anyone to answer my questions so i cancelled. I cancelled nearly 1 month before the cut off for a full 100% refund ( clearly stated in their contract when booking) . I then spent nearly 2 months calling, emailing, leaving voicemails to get my money back - they ignored every one. In the end I had to claim the money back via my bank. If my bank hadnt stepped in and help, this establishment would have stolen over £400 from me. I am writing to hopefully sway others and stop them doing the same to others

All that you expect and need from a traditional village pub, great local craft beer and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

Pleasant midweek lunch enjoyed here…reasonable choice of pub grub from bar menu; good food; sensible pricing & welcoming/good service from the outset. Adequate choice of drinks for our needs too. Would recommend & happily return if ever in the area.

Un sábado por la noche pasé a tomar una taza después de un largo paseo, ya que mi autobús a casa no debía hacerlo hasta dentro de una hora. Desafortunadamente, hubo un grupo de seguidores del club de rugby Bath Rugby que estaban bastante borrachos (tanto hombres como mujeres) y extremadamente ruidosos. Algunos de ellos empezaron a hacerme preguntas, terminé saliendo del pub y esperando mi autobús en el frío y en la oscuridad. Consideré cruzar la calle para probar el otro pub que está en un edificio muy antiguo, pero también estaba bastante ocupado y tenía miedo de encontrar el mismo problema. Es molesto cómo los pubs no son lugares acogedores para mujeres solteras, especialmente si no están bebiendo alcohol! Incluso en las grandes ciudades como Bristol, la mayoría de las cafeterías cierran a las 6 pm o 7 pm, ¡así que no tienes otra opción que ir a un pub si quieres una bebida caliente después de esa hora!
