The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Had takeaway chips today - what has happened??? Normally have takeaway chips from here when visiting St Mawes and they have always been lovely traditional fish and chips. Today the “chips” were chunky frozen wedges style potatoes . Knew it wasn’t going to be good from the smell when waiting - not the normal chip shop chips. Awful - won’t bother again. Have also previously eaten in the restaurant but would not again after this experience.

We visited the M Shed Cafe during our holiday in Bristol. On arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff, who led us to a table for two. We ordered good quality coffee, which was served quickly. We had a pleasant experience at this Cafe!

Called the canteen now I think but great different food options, very tasty and fair price, makes a change from mainstream stuff.

Great fish and chips. Have not bought before but having tried it we will be making this our regular place. Very friendly staff and all cooked perfectly. Prices very competitive too. Many thanks

Habíamos estado esperando para tener una comida especial para celebrar y elegimos TPH para nuestro lugar.

Very thin piece of fish. Wasn’t “large” at all. More batter than fish. Didn’t feel fresh as well. Rather disappointing.

I booked Exe Restaurant for my Birthday dinner with twelve of my friends. After visiting the first time for a Sunday and receiving such amazing food and service, I knew we had to book it for my 25th Birthday. We had the most amazing evening, the food and service was impeccable. They even went to the extra effort of decorating the table and making it feel super special for my friends and I. Thus is one of my favourite restaurants in Exeter and if your looking for somewhere where the food is amazing and you feel really well looked after this place is for you. The staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful. They really do go that extra mile so thank you so much for having us. We can’t wait to come back.

Visited the Fun Factory on a rainy day with my baby. To book in, other children in the waiting area were running into his pram. The gates were hard to open. Upon arrival, we were told, that the only available tables were upstairs and there was no lift! I had to carry the baby and pram up the stairs. Walking through the downstairs department was like trying to run through a jungle. We finally got to our table which was covered in what looked like chewed food and saliva and all over the chairs too. I am aware that soft play areas are noisy but this was more than that. I took the baby down to play in the under 3's section which was a tiny cage. There weren't many activities for him to play with. The baby mirror in there was dirty, the ball pit was over crowded. To get on the slide, it was a climb and with a baby, it proves impossible. Older children were coming in the baby section and scaring him and leaving the gate open which I was furious about. The sensory toys were broken. A 7 year old girl was in there throwing balls at him too and I had a go at her mum and told them to get out. I told a member of staff and they did nothing about it. He also had some lunch there which looked cheap and processed. You could literally see the fat dripping off it. You are apparently allowed to take the babies in the older children's play area but I was straight away put off when i saw the filth on some of the children's socks and the rate they were running around! In order to make this a better place you really need to add a lift, make a better play area for babies, get friendlier and more helpful staff, healthier food, clean the place and maybe even give it a revamp, buy more toys for the baby area and in general make it more appealing. Until Fun Factory up their game, I'm certainly not going back. Unless you want your babies to have a day of being in the worst play area of all time, don't come here!

Situated in town centre with big windows perfect for people watching! Food was served quickly and piping hot! Great food at a good price. I highly recommend the breakfast and the loaded fries!

Have been using the cafe for quite a while, usually good standard. Today however, was poor, prices have increased, but standards have dropped, poorly cooked food. Over cooked chips, black bacon from dirty griddle, cold scrambled egg and mushrooms. Shame as staff are friendly.

First time in this pub for a few years. Always a good cheap meal to be had and nothing has changed. Pleasant and clean pub and we three enjoyed the fish and chips. Pleasant staff and good tasting food. Well presented and the puddings were tasty, perhaps a bit pricey though. However an interesting experience and one we would perhaps repeat at a later date.

Small hotel bar which didn't really live up to its name in terms of the decoration. Small selection of beer and cider but comfy chairs. Signage for toilets is quite confusing. Some interesting objects on the walls.

If you are with a dog on your own how are you supposed to order your food? Dogs (understandably) not allowed in the cafe area - but equally it is not appropriate to leave them outside unattended. So how to do it? It might seem a small thing, but there seems to be an assumption there is also someone else to go and do the ordering.... Went home...

We go to the Towers frequently for a lunch stop. We find the lattes very weak,so today we asked for a extra shot,which made a great difference,but the downside was,we were charged an extra £1.40 per cup.

the food is hot, filling and arrives very quickly, even when dinning room is full. service is 100% attentive. the range of food is very good
