The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Avoid. Chips were stone cold and the cod was awful and grey and half the size it should be. It was long and very thin like it had been cut in half prior to preparing. Absolutely inedible and very overpriced even if it was edible. Had instant noodles instead and the takeaway went in the bin.

I visit regularly and am always impressed with the food and drinks. Excellent coffee and good food. The owner and staff do an impressive job with the space and resources they have and the Green is a great community asset. I notice a previous reviewer criticises the prices and the alleged quality of the food. This is unfair, naive and unrealistic as we all know the cost of living and food prices have increased and this affects everyone. Clearly some people cannot accept change or realise the world of food retail is very challenging these days. Definitely worth a visit and enjoy the community atmosphere of the village.

Great atmosphere, good service and good food, what more could any Mum want? It was all delightful and I thoroughly enjoyed being pampered and enjoying such a good lunch.

I have been to The Dolphin Inn several times now and the staff are always very friendly and welcoming.There are homemade traditional pies and roasts offered on Sundays, and bar snacks during the week. I had forgotten my scarf and Sam had very kindly looked after it for me. I wish them a very happy and successful 2020!

Mandy and Helen were brilliant, they were the best thing to walk down and get breakfast to absolute rays of sunshine!

Absolutely atrocious fish & chips last night - dry and partly brown overcooked fish, parts of batter with no fish inside! As if it was reheated from night before . Appalling. And the soggiest soft mushy chips I’ve ever seen - even the small normally ‘crispy’ bits were soft & bendy! Don’t know how they could have got so awful?? Not a cheap meal either,, had to be thrown away. What is going on Oldfields?? Previous fish & chips have always been great , but I’m afraid last night’s were dire!!!

I’m rating the cafe, We ordered a pizza margarita wrap, they warmed it up in Mikey, the trusted microwave so it was soggy like wet socks. It stuck to the paper, the dough wasn’t cooked even before they put it in Mikey. I returned it and they toasted it for 2 minutes that just barely cooked the outer layer. We just left it at that. Waste of money and rude customer service

Kenniford van at Heathfield MVF. Very mixed levels of service, from a warm greeting to complete disinterest. Sadly the disinterest has increased and I now feel that if they’re not interested then neither am I. O

Staff was rude when they got our order wrong and then correct it after a bit of telling them but the was going to refuse and service that day was not good. Was over charged with a coffee and cake we didnt have as an extra 7 pounds , Other times been good. Food nice.

The staff were lovely, very friendly, plenty of parking round the back. Great atmosphere created by the music and lighting. We had a nice gentleman serve us for our bowling. Paid for 2 games (but he let us play a 3rd on the house). Had a laugh with him. Just an over all nice guy. He helped us get change from the till to so we could play some pool. Will definitely be stopping here again next time we’re in cornwall would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

We have visited Trelawney Carriages restaurant for many years and visiting for a pre Christmas lunch was something we always did with our kids and now the grandchildren. Unfortunately yesterday's visit was the worst, we had to wait for a table which is totally understandable but a family got taken in first who arrived after us in the queue. My husband pointed this out to another staff member who just shrugged! Once at a table, no menu's, when I asked a staff member, I was told there should be one on the table. No help,a stack of paper ones found back by where we had to queue. The system now is once at a table, queue again to order and pay. By now ravenous grandchildren and a 30 minute wait for food. We then changed to a picnic bag each for kids and cake/coffee for us. Ringing each picnic bag item up individually took an age, but no sandwich or fruit available the kitchen staff did make two up fresh which arrived after they had eaten everything else! Hot drinks were brought to us but noone said we have to get the cakes ourselves which eventually we realised and did. Cakes after that a bit dry and tasteless. I then took the children to the toilet, (we had already visited the ladies which has no flush buttons in certainly 2 out of the three cubicles. The middle cubicle had a gaffataped toilet seat, which may or may not have been ok to use!) The disabled/babychange one was really unpleasant, an overflowing and smelly large bin for nappies which was no way only filled on that day, a grubby pulldown changing platform that has no ability to adjust the safety belt to keep a child secure, I struggled to keep my grandson safe on this. We spent £26 on snacks and what should have been a nice trip, really wasn't and we have left saying that we won't return. Carriages staff were all stressed, yet the customers are still prepared to queue but there needs to be a major rethink of how this restaurant is being organised alongside how the customers are looked after!!

Land lady is a complete fruit loop, beware! She will involve you in family arguments, drag you into things that are not your concern and then blame you for getting involved even though you've told her not to involve you!

Was given a voucher from my son for the st.leonards and decided to visit early afternoon for a late lunch. Wife chose the hunters chicken and I had the spicy chicken & chips in a basket. Have to say it’s one of the best meals we have recently had. Chicken was cooked to perfection and very very tasty. Service very good as well. Will def be visiting again .Well done st.leonards .

I had booked because of the reviews but left disappointed, this was a family birthday celebration mid week. The garlic buttered prawn was missing the garlic butter then came out of the packet and put on a dish with some cooked tomatoes. The lasagna was a brown mess with no flavour. The sea bass risotto was stodgy rice with no flavour, certainly not how a risotto is cooked. The sea bass and scallop was cooked lovely the rice just let it down. The staff were polite but we weren't looked after we didn't get asked once how was our meal otherwise we would have raised all these points. Wouldn't recommend. Won't be going back.

We were asked to book an earlier table due to being busy. We got there and there was only one other table eating. We waited 25 minutes for our food order to be taken, and another 50 minutes for it to actually come out. We were told there were only two pizza bases left, so only two of our table could order pizza (which makes up the majority of their menu!), only for another table behind us to come in later... And order pizzas! They forgot the cheese on one of the burgers. We were told they were unable to add cheese and bacon to another burger (the pulled pork burger) because it was "something from the specials menu". They completely forgot a third burger! It wasn't the fault of the guy serving us, he was great, very amenable, but the service was massively let down by whatever shower of detritus that was going on in the kitchen. The food was expensive and not worth the money. We won't be returning.
