The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Always like the vandyke nice pint of Guinness.

Lovely young lady behind the bar, very welcoming. Lovely Cornish pub, lots of interest inside. Food was well cooked and tasty.

We recently visited the Beach House for a family lunch, bringing a group of 15 people (8 adults, 7 kids). The adults ordered starters and mains, the kids had mains, and we enjoyed wine and cocktails. The final bill was £484. However, the experience was ruined by the restaurant’s inflexibility. My daughter is a vegetarian, and unfortunately, there was nothing on the menu that catered to her dietary needs. We knew this would be an issue so we brought a sandwich and some fruit for her, since she had no other option. But the waitress informed us that outside food was not allowed, without any understanding of our situation. As a result, my wife and daughter had to leave the restaurant to eat their meal in the car, while the rest of the family stayed inside to eat. It felt incredibly unfair and left a very sour note on what should have been a pleasant family meal. For what we were spending, I would expect more accommodation for dietary restrictions or, at the very least, some understanding and flexibility in such situations. We were paying customers, and my daughter simply couldn’t eat what was on the menu. The lack of compassion from the staff was disappointing, and it’s unlikely we’ll be returning.

We popped in for some lunch and Sharon found us a table and looked after us really well and made us feel like valued regular customers.

Tuvimos una gran comida aquí en un día soleado de octubre, el servicio fue genial y disfrutamos de la comida y la novedad de comer fuera justo en la playa. Si estoy en Dorset de nuevo volvería defo

We had lunch at Piermasters yesterday and the food was outstanding. The fish and chips was the best we’ve had in Plymouth and the Bouillabaisse was delicious and packed with seafood and fish. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, a great experience. We’ve always had great meal at Piermasters, however yesterday was outstanding. Well done to you all.

The staff are always willing to help and are very attentive. I’d give them 6 stars if I could. We always try to meet friends there and have a meal

Had lovely meal, wide choice on the menu. Good quantity food. Staff very helpful and friendly. We had the deal of 2 courses for dinner and buffet breakfast for £26.95p. Very good deal

Great food, friendly service. Katie was a very polite and professional server. Value for money. Very little waiting time for our food. Great choice on the salad bar. Very clean.

Wanted to be near Exeter Quay and decided to go to Harvester as large car park for late lunch. Three or four people at tables in bar area and it looked like perhaps 1 or 2 tables occupied in dining area. We waited where it says wait to be served, no one. Went to bar. Could hear and see staff working as they were hovering around the door behind the bar and there was an obvious moment of panic when we nearly caught someone’s eye and they quickly jumped back into the back room so they definitely knew we were there but still absolutely no one came to help us. Felt almost like they were hiding until we gave up. After about ten minutes we realised there was absolutely no chance of any service, walked out and found somewhere else to spend our money. Thoroughly unimpressed.

Lovely place and food. chloe are waitress was attentive and smiling all the time. Made the experience for us, so thank you!

Had the last two nights here including breakfast and evening meal. I couldn't fault it. Food very good and staff excellent. Sometimes when you travel alone the service you receive drops a little, not here all the staff were attentive and friendly with a great atmosphere fully deserves five stars!

Absolutely loved our stay. Great food, decent sized room, and very friendly staff. We had a cracking stay and will definitely be back again soon!

I recently visited with family for a meal and was very impressed with the service especially from Simon and Sarah they couldn’t do enough for us.

You know what you are getting when you go to a Toby, a fabulous carvery. We had a lovely server called Cheryl who made sure we had all that we needed. Thank you
