The best restaurants serving British food in South West

The New Inn has charm with its period features and courtyard, but it's let down by lack of investment in my opinion. Simple things can be fixed, like adding a grip to the exterior steps leading up to the hotel to make it less slippery in rain. The rooms could do with some basic maintenance to remedy the peeling paint and wallpaper. The staff were wonderful though, no complaints there at all. However the room itself... The room was spotless and clean, but it looks very tired with water damage in the bathroom, poor water pressure in the shower, no working light in the bathroom, and a really uncomfortable mattress. The furnishings were fine, just dated. The mattress is a problem though.

Nice traditional pub good food and friendly staff

We were booked ( a very large family and friends group. Last year,We booked a variety of lodges, caravans and camping. This would have been for the last weekend of September 24. Today , we all got emails cancelling our bookings. Reason given : a Solitice event!!!! What appalling customer service. Offered vouchers for monies paid. Never will consider visiting a ParkDean resort .

Having gone to another pub for lunch only to be told they weren’t doing food which was not advised on their website we ended up here in desperation for a bite to eat which was another mistake as they were only doing Pizzas, Baguettes or Sandwiches. The outside was incredibly untidy, with a full ashtray sitting on a bench waiting to greet customers on their arrival. The inside very depressing although one bar with the inglenook very characterful. As with many pubs loud ‘disco’ music was blazing out around the bar. The barmaid perhaps was having a bad day as no smile or chat was forthcoming. We chose 6 baguettes as the ‘kitchen’ was about to close which was our 2nd mistake. 4 fish fingers which were cremated or precooked & re fried, the cheese & chutney banquette had no chutney & the prawn banquet was awash with a very runny Marie Rose sauce. All banquets were very small & anaemic. They arrived with a small pot of coleslaw & some deep fried vegetable peelings all pretty & no presentation & bland. We should have sent them all back but didn’t. We also ordered 4 bowls of skinny fries which were ok but for £4 a small bowl were a rip off as everything else was when we got the bill…over £120 including some drinks! The only good experience was the Jail Ale which was fine. Don’t like putting bad reviews against businesses but there again we don’t like being ripped off with indifferent service, disgusting food & excessive prices. If a pub has no chef for what ever reason which presumably was the scenario here then close the kitchen!

It's okay, it's an oggy oggy, come on! I sometimes get a sausage roll from here or a pasty, TBF their pasties are alright.

Good local pub with a good quiz on Wednesdays. The pub has a very unique door which is shaped like a barrel.

Really nice,spure of moment stop

We have previously enjoyed sitting outside of this pub eating their normal menu which was tasty. We decided to go for Sunday lunch there today. We had reserved a window table (as I have dexterity problems, and prefer not to have tables close by, as it can be embarrassing if my Parkinsons is bad.) We were directed to an enclosed table, as (the waitress said) other people had also requested a window seat. This was fair enough, especially as she then said the people sitting in the window would be going soon, and her plan was to move us over when they had gone. When a gentleman came to take our drinks order we told him that we would be moving to another table. He was quite abusive and told us that we would not be moved. I said that the previous lady should not have told us this then. He agreed with this but said "if that's what was said" in a very curt tone. I asked if he was calling me a liar, but he did not respond. To cut a long story short the lady came over to us, and said to ignore the gentleman and moved us to the window seat. The meal arrived, with cold carrots, and no Yorkshire pudding. The whole meal was bland and the slice of pork I had, (which was hidden under the cold carrots), could have been hidden under a pea, it was so small! It was certainly not the way we had planned on spending our Anniversary !

Standard spoons. Cheap drinks, passable food. Clean toilets and helpful, polite staff.

1st Christmas meal of the year for our coffee morning...really enjoyed a nice relaxed meal...and good service

The best cooked roast chicken meal I've eaten in England

They didn't want to give us a table for 8 and the entire restaurant was almost empty, there was just 4 persons inside the restaurant and we were very hungry. We went to ask if they had space for us and without hesitation he said no .
