The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Food okay but over priced and just okay. Hot drink wasn’t great. Staff are one extreme to another, either great or rude. Doesn’t accept cash!

Nice lunch with family + friends. Lewis dealt well with a minor issue where an item had to be changed due to an error on my part, not haut cuisine but good basic pub food.

We popped in here whilst walking from Bournemouth to Sandbanks. The setting is good , tidy and clean. Service was good and there was a range of food options. We didn’t have to wait long to order and our food was delivered within 15 mins. We had the jacket potato’s and they were lovely. Hot, tasty and fresh. The side salad was plentiful.

Stayed two nights and staff were all very friendly, had several meals and food was all very tasty. We will ddefinately be coming back handy location too very near tje town centre

We had a weekend away in our camper and ended up here served quickly reasonable prices great location with great three tiered garden. Bit off the beaten track though. I don’t know why it has a slew of bad reviews, we thought it was fine 👍s up from me

I visited the garden centre with my wife and my 87 year old mother. We enjoyed walking through the centre and browsing. It was nice to be see the Christmas decorations being out up and the displays were lovely to see. We ordered food from the restaurant and we were find there was a 30 min wait on hit food, the food arrived within 10 mins. The food is ok but not cheap, the cakes are ok but nothing special, the staff are welcoming and very helpful.

Have stayed here 3 times before.also have stayed in numerous wetherspoons hotels and recommended them to everyone.i have to say we were quite disappointed this time.the staff were very helpful but this hotel needs a serious makeover.our room although bed and very quite wasn't the best.air con not working although we had a heater which was sufficient heating the room.and in all fairness the lovely guy who checked us in told us about it and said if we needed another heater to let him know.towel heater didn't work and tv lost tv channels!!!.OK if you wanted to watch kids cctv.the shower took a age to drain.sad to say but next visit to Salisbury won't be staying here unless major refurbishment.

Came in here on Sunday evening after a 2 hour drive.. Only stayed for a pint each with the missus.. Can't really complain much.. Other than the table we sat at was not cleaned from previous customers.. Table wet and sticky.. And glasses and sauce bottles left from people sat there before.. Average Experience...

The absolute worst fish and chips I’ve ever eaten! We paid almost £50 for fish and chips here so I was expecting something fairly decent, what we got were the absolute dog ends of flavourless grey fish swimming in grease and batter. The chips were ok. Please save your hard earned cash and give this place a miss.

Very disappointed. Checked before going if they provide vegetarian breakfast and it quite clearly stated a vegetarian breakfast on the menu. But on arriving at the breakfast choice there was no vegetarian option. I asked if they provide vegetarian sausages and got a shrug and “ they might have started cooking them”. No one offered to go and check and it felt like it was too much bother. Wish we had gone else where and won’t be going there for food again.

Started going in here again after saying never again due to rubbish food and sticky tables etc.ordered small amount of food and couple of hot drinks.food came out immediately the only colour on the bacon was on the fat.it was barely warm let alone hot.i took it back and bar maid agreed it didn't look great and said she would ask them to cook from fresh.bacon was brought back almost black as if sod you for complaining we will make sure it's not just cooked but over cooked and inedible.i said to barmaid the kitchen were taking the p#ss and its inedible.manager eventually came back and did a refund (which hours later still hasn't gone into my account)if vindictive kitchen staff cost money by doing this to people's food then they don't deserve a job.so angry I won't eat here again

Great place to sit on cliff top and have breakfast. VIsited in September on a sunny day and sat outside to an amazing view. Had the full English Breakfast which was very good. Service was good and it was quite busy. We will be back soon

Disgraceful, never again. Been eating and drinking there for years. Took family there for an evening meal. Having spent over £200 pounds, at 9:15 we were told they weren't serving any more drinks, as they were closing and we had to leave. No apology and the member of staff walked away while we were speaking to her. This was entirely unprovoked, we had been quiet and polite all evening. It was purely because it had gone quiet, and most customers had left, not surprising if that's how they treat people.

Myself and my partner booked Rudloe for a night away for our anniversary. We had high hopes and felt so so excited. On arrival, the lady at reception was lovely! We were then very pleased with our room. However, when it came time to dine we headed to the restaurant. We waited by the restaurant entrance and were not seated or acknowledged for 5 minutes. We then walked back out to reception to check if we had used a wrong entrance as we were baffled by why we were ignored. When back in reception, we asked a man if we had got it right and he said “it’s not hard” and stormed off. This ruined the evening before it had even started in some ways, and foreshadowed the shoddy behaviour from staff for the rest of the night. Drinks orders forgotten, steaks arrived and got cold before the sides arrived. Overall disorganised. Food was delicious though! We were not seen to for a long time to leave, so we just got up to walk to the desk area to sign the bill. As we got up, we were again approached unkindly by another male waiter who was rude and brash and got us to sign the bill- the only way we got any attention that evening! I would never return to the restaurant. The room however was divine ! Me and my partner ate as fast as we could then rushed right back to the room to not ruin our night with the bad attitude of staff.

So disappointing. We had the Brie bacon and cranberry baguette. The cranberry was so sour we couldn’t eat it. We did raise it at the time and the waiter acknowledged and said sorry but offered no recompense even though we couldn't eat it. As they were so busy I didn’t make a fuss. I emailed the manager after and she acknowledged the batch of cranberry sauce used was very sour. She offered us two free drinks and 15percent off our next meal. We paid 30quid for lunch we couldn’t eat. This offer was insulting.
