The best restaurants serving British food in South West

This service station has everything needed for a stop on the M4. It's always super busy, the cleanliness overall was lacking, especially in the toilets. Costa was below standard this time, very slow service and burnt coffee. I think the issues are all to do with how busy the place was at that particular time

A great cafe and friendly staff with a fenced off dog exercising area. Also had new, very clean toilets. Nice little stop off point.

I used to come here a lot when I was younger with my family and even had a 16th birthday meal in the function room at the back. EWas always a great place to eat and relax.

we have just spent 5 days at the hotel with Caledonian travel and can highly recommend the food in the restaurant, plenty of choices, lovely and hot and catered for all tastes. Both the breakfast and evening meals were all buffet so you could put as much or as little as you wanted on the plate. The number of desserts on offer was amazing thank you.

We are for lunch at 1:15. Wanted something simple so we ordered Ham Egg and chips x 2. Served by very polite staff. When our meal arrived we were sadly disappointed. Chips were freshly cooked. But, the ham was cut so thin you could see the plate through it. One slice, I don’t think that they could buy cheaper. The eggs looked like they had been leftover from breakfast and wormed up under the grill. Not a good experience at all. What a shame could and should have been a simple enjoyable lunch, it wasn’t. Lesson learned.

Can’t believe there’s negative reviews on here for Britz, they're the best fish and chips in the area. Been going there for years, never had a bad experience.

Oh dear... Not one to write reviews but honestly this cafe needs to sharpen up their act! Looonnng wait for a drink with a woman shouting "we've got no bacon left!" To a little old man waiting for his all day breakfast. The people serving (two women) kept wandering in and out of the kitchen and seemed surprised to receive an order. All the tables were dirty and not cleared. There were no teaspoons. Shame because it could be a good little cafe for pensioners and young families -especially with the £1 unlimited tea/coffee and soup and cheap food for kids.

Now as a Devonian I was aware that Totnes Morrisons could have just been an extension of the London yummy mummy brigade, hiding as felt hat wearing socialists whilst still raking in big bucks working for Shell or HSBC from home. I couldn't have been more wrong. Yes, there are the slew of mum's with homeschooled kids at their feet who are angrily shouting that they just want a Cadbury's Fredo rather than a nature valley oat bar, the deluge of chuckle shoes and crocs, the felt, oh so much felt!! The vegan children where so pale you can see their hearts beating through their chests like a deep sea creature. But the cafe is a sanctuary for those wanting a slice of proper Devon, average age 75, just what I said want to be surrounded by, a menu that's reasonably priced and a standard coffee that doesn't mean I have to ask my ageing mother for a loan to buy. I had the veggie sausage roll and coffee deal for £4 my partner Mrs M had the full English, her eyes are always bigger than her stomach but will she listen, no. We sat looking out on to a sunny car park fuelled with bad parking, tye dye and 90s travellers, wafting patchouli through the automatic door entrance. The food was as expected. It filled a hole. Nice bread, sausages were tasty and coffee was how it should be circa 2000. This place is an oasis from the big city folk who have moved in and brought with them a sense of amazement at seeing a field for the first time ever, whilst still keeping their capitalist ideals of buying so much felt and hemp that those dying trades are flourishing once more. I praise Morrisons for its honesty, openness and "you get what's expected attitude" Best value brunch in Totnes by a country yes country, mile. Bravo.

In Swanage for a brief visit - beach was blowing a proverbial - so retreated to find some food before heading back to steam train.. Harlees was spacious and bright and looked appetising. Food was ordered and we sat at a booth till our numbers were called. Fresh, tasty and not expensive - what more do you want.

Went here for a bite to eat we ordered a tea cake and a breakfast. The lady serving looked like she didn’t want to be there. Teacake came with only 1 butter and when I asked to have some more we were told that we had to pay 40p per butter? That’s outrageous for butter. The breakfast came and it looked unappetizing I ordered an extra sausage but never got it and when I questioned this I was told “oh did you?” Even tho she charged me for it. Honestly the worse breakfast I’ve ever had. The cafe was so much nicer before now it just looks so dark and depressing with little to nothing available in the fridges. Staff looked miserable and the place was a state all dirty dishes left on tables and on the tray rack by the toilets. They obviously aren’t cleaning them often as we were the only ones in there and now I can see why Never using this cafe again

woorst breakfast ever. My friend are I have been coming regularly for ages, only becuase it is convenient to us both. The standard of food has got progressively worse and today was BAD. sausage and bacon lukewarm and egg cold. Won't be coming again and the service is abysmal. Only one person serving, making teas/coffees and taking the payment. The queue was very long.

The coffee is good the service is very good but the crushies have been absolutely disgusting they have no taste and are a waste of money they need to be stronger they are basically expensive water

For £6.75 for a dry no condiments chicken burger (with no chips and instead hash browns as they didn't have chips). Appalling. There are 4 staff in the kitchen across the counter, serving and kitchen. Plenty to perform the basic task. I would have expected at least mayo in the chicken burger. Whilst they also didn't have chips, they also didn't have sausages. Considering that half their menu has either sausages (breakfast) or chips it's a bit of a sad attempt. At best this was worth £3. No way was it worth £6.75.

After a late-morning visit to a local cinema, it was well-gone 14:00 when the film ended. We were hungry for a snack lunch and wanted something quick, and nearby. This branch of M&S (with a café) is only a short drive from the cinema. We were able to park easily in the capacious carpark (maybe ‘carpacious’). So, we were soon ordering two smoked-bacon sourdough rolls each with a large cup of Americano Coffee (with hot milk). The ‘Senior Barista’ offered us miniscule jugs of hot milk, not even enough to make a small coffee suit. So, we asked her if the hot milk could be poured directly into our cups, and this was done. I did get the distinct impression that the lady in question seemed not particularly happy to oblige us. Certainly the quantity of milk, we did have, would have easily filled six of the ‘miniscule’ jugs. Maybe there was a cost implication? We would, however, have been happy to pay extra. Food is cooked-to-order and delivered to tables, so were given a tall plastic sign (like a single-fold birthday card) to display on our table with a number ‘26’ on it. This just would not stand-up, and I had to bend the sign along the fold to narrow the angle to make it do so. Our coffee was not-so-great; it lacked the bitter caramel flavour that we look for. Do not assume that was due to the quantity of milk; as we have similar ratios of milk to coffee at home and in other cafés, without losing the flavours we look for. Our bacon rolls were great; hot, plenty of good smoked-bacon, and a fresh sourdough bun. Just what we wanted, especially as we had found-out where the brown sauce sachets were kept (by the kitchen servery).

No food No guest lounge No bar Does not quality as a 3 star hotel 1 star at best See all the other poor reviews , no wonder it's cheap in the week
