The best restaurants serving British food in South West

Ordered two regular breakfasts and two coffees. Allergens were asked about and dealt with efficiently. Coffee was good. We found the breakfast to be greasy and not particularly hot. The bacon was very hard (not a new complaint, but very hard to eat nonetheless), but obviously at this price and with two kitchen staff, bacon cooked to order isn’t difficult. The FOH staff obviously had their favourite customers and tgey were the ones who received good service. On reflection, would not eat here again

Absolutely miserable staff wouldn't go again I like polite helpful staff here they are neither go to the coffee shop in yealmpton or Newton ferrers

Please, do not confuse The Shambles of Dartmouth is a bar but it’s No.1 on Higher street (in the corner T junction with Smith Street) yes, small place, music and good company See you there xx

here with my pet for a lovely smelly dinna. came out with mutated bellies absolutely lovely scran. Staff were smelly but kind.

Disgusting service from an elderly lady in here. My daughter was rudely approached by the old hag, and told not to eat her sausage roll in the restaurant as she isn’t a customer. I explained that I was going to be eating and buying drinks. We didn’t even have the time to find a seat, as my daughter was collared by her half way in. Now I totally respect that places don’t want you eating food from other eateries. But her manner and approach was completely aggressive, and to approach an 11 year child. I explained that if there is an issue to then speak with me, the parent. Totally rude and ill mannered, and the rest of the staff had an awful attitude. I’ve eaten here before and food has always been mediocre. Just cheap and cheerful. The service is just appalling. AVOID

Went here on the 1st visit and the food was very good and plenty of it. We had the stack. Friendly staff and most importantly our four legged friend was allowed in.

Booked very last minute for a carvery on Mothering Sunday , from the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and the staff are lovely ! The chef on the carvery was so friendly and I’m a bit fussy on having lean meat which he sorted with no issue, the cauliflower cheese was the tastiest we’ve ever had with plenty of flavour, we were told by the chef about the puddings so we decided to have one , and we were so pleased we did ! Homemade and tasty and the best apple crumble I’ve ever had ! It was so nice to enjoy a meal and feel relaxed, the lady even stopped her break to make me another orange juice and lemonade as the first one was perfect ! I don’t like to much orange, but again service with a smile and nothing to much trouble . Highly recommended and we will definitely be back ! Thank you

Over priced coke £3.59 coffee terrible not sure how they justify price of a tin of coke meals, average fairly expensive .

Overpriced food. Ordered the half sandwich option as thought this was possibly due to the sandwiches being large. What turned up was laughable. It was half a normal sized sandwich. £5.50 for half a sandwich!! Needless to say, will not hurry back…

You can see from the mixed reviews how people’s experiences have varied so much . We can only speak as we find and for four visits over four years our experiences have been really good. We have been able to pre order and pick ups have always been on time . Fish and chips were admittedly a bit pricey on our latest visit but taste and portion sizes were spot on .

We popped in here for a hot drink and some breakfast on a very cold and windy morning- the seating area had a warm welcoming fire and sea views, which was great. The service was awesome, my flat white coffee was lush and our breakfast baps were yummy. All very reasonably priced, and happy with the veggie options. We would definitely come back if we return to Weston Super Mare :)

What can I say, we popped in on our way to Portugal for a Jacket potato and steak & guiness pie which was outstanding, appetising, tasty, colourful with ample quantity, along with fabulous hospitality. We shall return. Many thanks

Great to have this in the garage, makes for a perfect pit stop 👌

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.

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!
