The best restaurants serving British food in South West

'Mediterranean vegefable wrap' contained no Mediterranean vegetables, but rather some of the same salad that was already on the plate. Short of time, so we didn't complain. Food and service here are hit and miss at best, which is a shame as it's very conveniently positioned halfway along our route to North Devon. Will be looking for an alternative

Shame it never made it to the bottom of the list as the worst restaurant in Swindon, but it was heading there before the owner was sent to prison.

Would definitely not recommend. Cafe staff so miserable especially lady serving on the till. No please no Thankyou’s. Brought our food over and was disgusted by the way it has all just been chucked on the plate. The lady that served the food put it on our table without saying one word then just walked off. Shocking visit. Will definitely not be returning and will be warning friends and family not to visit.

Cómodo hotel un poco fuera de la ciudad. Recientemente decorado, pero vacío. Sin embargo la cena era muy buena. Ordenados tostado cod para plato principal y fue cocinado a la perfección con verduras frescas. Los postres eran deliciosos. Bonita presentación. Nuestra camarera era atento y conocedor y muy buena en su trabajo!

Will ignore your emails. Air conditioning was broken, we emailed them over several months asking for a refund. This was in the middle of a heatwave.

On arrival to sit outside the table required cleaning. We asked the waiter if he could possibly clean the table (politely). He replied he was too busy. No other communication and never returned. We asked another waiter to wipe the table which he did but with one wipe. I live in Bath and proud of the city attractions. I was accompanied with friends from another part of the country. Not a great impression. Staff need to be trained not only in how to clean tables but how they interact with customers. Regrettably on this occasion it was poor!

Very much overpriced and my fish and chips were undercooked and soggy very gross will not return don’t recommend to anyone I expected It to cost maybe £8-£9 but no £12.50 I think maybe more than that and the wait was ages went in to collect it and the staff were rude and unhelpful and I was given no cutlery and had to pay for sauces Then I opened the box up outside and it was all soggy and a strange colour very off putting almost looked raw Just ended up eating some of the chips

Great chippie years ago but I’ve had 3 or more rough meals in the last few months. Never again will my family ever go back . I ordered large fish and chips…. and charged for it. It was a bit under cooked and small and the chips were mainly little gribbles. It’s like they buy bags of cut offs with no bigger chips in there. Not for me I’m afraid.

ridiculous long wait.... told to sit down and they will bring everything over....40 minutes later our Toasties arrived but NO TEAS... told we had to que again tables not cleared often enough .... countless tables FULL of used Crockery.... took one member of staff a good 80 minutes just to get topside of it Come on Marks you are better than this

Lovely garden centre to browse around outisde, with plenty of flower baskets and interesting statues to look at. Very good layout and very spacious outside. Staff who work in plant area outside are friendly. Cafe lovely and large and serves very good quality coffee and excellent value for the size as well. Had the coffee and walnut cake on one visit, which was very good value and very well made. The vast majority of the cafe staff are always very friendly on every visit. The shop is interesting to look around, with a variety of items very suited to be given as gifts, as well as for personal use. Visited this Saturday afternoon just gone, and found the two young men working on the till to be very friendly, welcoming and polite. On previous Saturday afternoon visits, other young staff members were not friendly or welcoming in the slightest, so this visit was a huge improvement in terms of that. One improvement, would be that a bit of quiet background music could be played in both the shop and cafe, to add to the ambience.

What can I say apart from avoid! Two young girls served us. After we paid, we noticed they were eating while cooking!! Waited 40 mins with no food, when we asked where the food was, she told us she forgot to cook it!! then told us they had no chicken burgers or chicken nuggets. Surely you should check stock before serving? Mistakes happen of course, but this was problem after problem. The girl was vaping while cleaning around the front. So unhygienic is actually disgusting. Such a shame because the location was lovely. We always walked past and wanted to try it. If trading standards ever arrived they would be shut down instantly. WHO EATS WHILE COOKING AND SERVING FOOD? And to top it off, We didn't even get an apology at all. They both just stood bad mouthing us as we walked away.

We ate here as we were staying in the hotel (Royal lion) for a couple of nights and had a nice meal. We both opted for fish dishes and whilst the menu is not extensive we were both happy with our food and accompanying wine. The menu is reasonably priced compared to some in Lyme Regis and the service was good. The price of restaurants in Lyme seems to have increased significantly since Covid and availability is sometimes limited (staffing seems to be an issue here as with many places). The hotel restaurant used to be located in a large room on the first floor and had a more inventive menu although the room itself was a bit too formal for my taste

Me and my husband stayed here last night and what a wonderful hotel, beautiful room brilliant staff and gorgeous food couldn’t fault them. The cost of the room was real good value for money and the food was also very good value for money. Will definitely be staying again thank you for a lovely stay.

Complete rip tiny portions heavy batter and totally miserable owner - felt sorry for the young lad serving avoid like the plague

My friend and I went to the cafe today for a coffee but ended up trying the red lentil soup and so glad we did, the best I've had in a very long time. Super friendly and helpful staff too. Will definitely be going back.
