The best restaurants serving British food in South West

I ordered a large cod and I received instead a chicken burger with chips (I don’t eat chicken). Tried to call multiple times but no answer.

Great place to play! Lively audience. Kris & Claire are superb hosts.

Had a wonderful fish and chips here (the fish melted in the mouth. Staff are really friendly and welcoming. Really recommend this place.

Flo was exceptionally helpful as a server dealing with our queries, a great asset to the pub. Fantastic customer services.

A few weeks ago my husband & I came for lunch here & the food was very good, but the ladies toilets were filthy. Considering it was only lunch time, I would have thought they would have been cleaned in the morning, but clearly not. I talked a couple of friends to meet me here for dinner this week & the food was hit & miss. My cod looked like it had been on a diet, cod is usually a meaty fish, but not this one. My friend didn’t like her rise dish either, strangely sweet tasting. We were very disappointed, but the most disappointing this was the ladies toilets again. They didn’t look like they had been cleaned since the last time I came. Absolutely disgusting.

Staff are the stars, they just need more of them

We visited the Bicknoller Inn for a Friday lunch and were respectfully and quietly met by the pub dog, mentioned in so many reviews to date. Sophie was managing front of house, both bar and restaurant, was polite and friendly throughout and worked with efficiency and speed. We picked up drinks from the bar - although Sophie even offered to carry them - and were shown to our table in the airy and light dining area. Our ciabattas arrived within a reasonable time of ordering. Whilst on the expensive side, portions were generous and presentation (on a board) well above what one would expect for a light lunch! Flavours were generally very good and we left clean plates (well, boards). Just before we left Lynda (the manager) kindly spent quite some time chatting with us about how the Bicknoller Inn is run, how it is sourced with local ingredients and as much as possible is freshly prepared (e.g. the bacon in my ciabatta and the homemade coleslaw accompanying it). Lynda also talked about the pub industry in general which was interesting to hear. On our way out we stopped and said goodbye to the mastiff who had greeted us and we departed happy. The Bicknoller Inn is well worth a visit. Clean, well run, with polite and capable staff. The building has tremendous character and is warm and inviting. Worth the little bit extra we paid and we will return before long.

We stayed the night here, had dinner and breakfast the next morning - WOW!!! What super lovely staff, great stay, cute rooms, wonderful hot & powerful shower! Breakfast was AMAZING (eggs royal) 9.5/10 as my only problem was bed too hard and bit lumpy. Everything else perfect, right down to the tasty little cookies in the room. Will definitely stay again

It’s not temporarily closed Anymore under new management and let me tell you the food is 5* I can’t believe what we got for £41 the biggest most flavoursome meal I have ever ever eaten . We had the roast banquet with 2 drinks it could have easily fed 4 god knows how 2 of us eaten mind you I’m pregnant and husband was very hung over and our baby / 12 month old shared with us I have honestly never eaten anything that good in my life x

Visited the soft play yesterday, one young girl in there on her own looking like she was struggling. Took her ages to clear people’s tables after they had left we offered or help her but she kindly denied our request. (Wasn’t her fault was lack of staff and very busy) Can’t remember ladies name was young blond girl was amazing throughout the whole time we were there. Was amazing with my little girl and interacted with her as well as trying to get through everything else that needed doing in there. Think the managers need to get more staff in on a weekend was horrible seeing the young lady trying to sort that the mess, clear all the tables and clear a party up after they left. Big well done to her and we will be back for the soft play.

Nice warm welcome, service with a smile, food was very very good,served hot, portion size excellent, so glad it’s under new owners, who are polite and customer friendly Well done, We wish you all the very best

Myself and two friends went to The Lawns for the Sunday Carvery, and came away full and very content! The food was all lovely. My friends had the roast beef and both said that it was the best beef they'd ever had at a carvery! We had to go back up for a couple of items, as it was pretty busy and the demand was high! The roast veg was all lovely and crispy, and the mashed potato was fluffy. They will serve until they run out, and we're still going strong when we left shortly after 3pm. The staff were friendly and helpful and I was told when the cauliflower cheese was about to come out... I was stuffed, but was determined and I managed to fit a little in! No photos, as it was on the plate one minute, and in our stomachs the next!! Thank you to the staff and management. We'll be back! :)

What an awful place. Food was terrible, I ordered Hunters chicken it was cold and dried out but the chips were hot! We went to our room as the pub closed at 9pm! The room was cobweb ridden complete with spiders. No toiletries and dirty cups! The TV didn't work either. The only thing that worked was the mirror!! I was contemplating sleeping in my car! I did complain about the food which was a little bit discounted. In the morning I complained about the state of the room which I was told they need refurbishment. They need a dam good cleaning. There is no excuse, If I hadn't already paid for it they would have had a struggle to get my hard earned cash out of me!!! I wouldn't recommend visiting here.

Looking for somewhere for lunch in NW Bristol ? , then look no further. We were looking for a place where we wouldn't be spending £50 for two of us , and so we visited The Lamplighters , as we hadn't been for a while . The new Chef there really excelled themselves , as our Barbequed Chicken we ate was wonderful. We also noticed that the Pub had some refurbishment since our last visit . This is becoming a landmark Pub, as its setting on the banks of the River Avon in its light blue exterior makes it stand out , and has steadily improved over the years, with a good selection of beers , including Bath Gem on tap, and my wife commented favourably on her glass of Chardonnay . The landlady was delightful to talk to , as we discussed several things concerning the local community and what could be done to support it . All in all we were delighted with our visit and will happily return again .

Absolute joy to go in , bar staff very friendly I can see why it’s in the good beer guide ,ale was excellent with a wide selection of beer. Food came out very promptly and was really tasty ,my friends and I will definitely make a return visit
