The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Myself and partner has booked a table for 6.30 pm and when we arrived we told by young lady behind the bar our table was in the window. We sat down and after about 10 mins nobody came to see what drinks we required. My partner ordered them at the bar 🍸 we then waited another 10 mins or so and I went to bar and ordered food it was only then that tge young lady said she was on her own for the night so food had to be ordered at the bar. Nothing had been said previously! The item we requested steak and jail pie was not available so I ordered lasagne which was quite nice but not a lot of meat but padded out with peppers. My partner ordered beefburger and it was cremated nobody came to ask how food was only when he went to pay it was disgusting. Very dissapointed 4/10 total

Normally we enjoy visiting this quaint little cafe. Today, we had lunch and as usual the food was lovely. However, the service did not live up to recent expectations. Firstly one of our drinks was left off the order, no apology. The waitress simply stated that the order only said one drink, despite there being two meals ordered. We asked for another drink, which she duly brought over to the table, stating, 'You haven't paid for that.' Secondly, when the meals arrived, only part of that order arrived. The food was placed on the table, and the waitress left. After a few minutes, I tried to attract the waitress' attention. This was unsuccessful , so I went to the counter. I explained that our table was still waiting for part of it's order. There was still no apology. I was told they were a bit busy. I responded that an explanation would have helped and that there were now 'two strikes' and that they weren't doing too well, to which she snapped, 'It’s coming.' The chef then stepped in. This was a real shame as I previously stated the food was lovely.

Dropped in last night to be greeted by a super friendly bar man. The pizza’s are incredible and their delicious Sunday roasts are now back in the menu. With an unbeatable location and stellar service it’s our favourite spot.....

The countryman has done a complete turn around in over a year. It's fabulous. It's best to book. Especially for carvery on a Sunday.

We had. A lovely family meal today We had the roast platters for four people They were lovely and a excellent way to enjoy a roast chatting

We was a bit wary of coming here for the evening as the write ups were bad,arrived Friday night and the 3 young ladies behind the bar was a credit to the place,we booked in easy by one of the 2 sisters and enjoyed a lovely evening drinking,each girl knowing exactly what we ordered when going to the bar,next morning we ate breakfast and was served by a really happy chap who was asking the guests what they had planed for the day,and showed so much attention to what people said,I was shocked to find out he was the person people moaned about as being rude,you couldn’t be further from the truth,keep up the good work Barry and staff

I'm truly saddened to learn about the closure of this venue. Whenever I visited Bristol for work, it was my top choice for dining. The staff here has consistently exceeded my expectations, with many of them having been a part of my visits for years. Issy, Daniel and Luke have consistently delivered exceptional service, always greeting me with a warm smile and a touch of humor. Their natural ability in customer service is remarkable. As this chapter closes, I can only hope that they find suitable employment in a similar industry where their talents can continue to shine. This establishment has consistently provided great quality and value in both food and drinks, making it a memorable part of my Bristol experiences.

Returned after a couple of years to fine a beatifully refurbished bistro overlooking Torbay (ok it was misty) with a extensive menu. My confit duck leg was the best meal I've had for years and the seafood platter was equally good.

Went for evening meal as we were staying across the road. Being a Greene King pub was concerned about what we would find but new menu and food was good. Jake looked after us and did a great job.

Very dissatisfied, ordered 3 meals, waited 25mins for what was essentially just a burger as the rest was readily available. No apologies offered rven though it seemed the staff were aware. Finally sit to eat, and what a disappointment. Thin fish that was greasy and smelt like beef dripping.. how?! The chips were very dry and not enjoyable. The burger that was waited on was also dry. Considering the price that is charged is above the average you would expect something good but that's not the case. This was in the evening as well and not as busy as I have seen it, so pretty sure that's not the cause.

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.

GBK used to be my favourite place to eat out, ever since I first tried it maybe 12 years ago. And I have been coming ever since. I was so disappointed when I visited. Not for the wait times or the staff. Both were excellent. However the food has changed so much. And I haven't eaten at GBK only for a few months. They have taken rocketman off the menu (to my boyfriends displeasure) and the chocolate milkshakes taste terrible!!! All with horrible syrup and not how they used to be at all. Portions are a lot smaller as well, including the skinny fries. Really upset because it used to be my go to all the time :(

Pensé que era fantástico valor entró el jueves que tienen un menú de curry £ 10 . 26 con un pan cherry pepsi max naan y poppadoms no creo que ningún café u otro pub pueda competir con esa fantástica relación calidad-precio.

Another fantastic meal at Ocean. Highly recommend the gluten free pizza, it was delicious! The service was fantastic; our server was very friendly and smiled lots, which showed how she enjoyed her job. Nothing was too much trouble. We’ve been to Ocean many times, and we keep coming back as it’s brilliant.

2 night stay that was faultless from start to finish. Stunning location, amazing room, warm welcome and nothing too much trouble. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, staff work so hard to ensure your stay is made special and your furry friends enjoy it too! Food superb, great service, and little added extras are charming. A little bit of relaxing luxury away from it all in a lively, friendly atmosphere and quiet peaceful location! The Talbot has it all in spadefuls!! A very special find that we shall continue to enjoy over the years!!
