The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in West Dorset South West

Fantastic Caffe and great value for money. I Recommend this place to anyone visiting Barnstaple and the cater for vegan and gluten free people. Me and my family stayed for lunch and had a great time, we sat upstairs where there was lots of room. The staff are fantastic and very helpful and friendly.

Very attentive staff, nice to see different menu options. Will definitely visit again. Breakfast was excellent

Wow, wow, wow. Atmosphere 5*, Taste 5*, Service 5*, drinks 5*, desserts 6*. Best place in Lyme Regis. It was as if I was back in Madrid.

Food was outstanding, staff were wonderful and attentive would recommend 1000/10, the chefs are so talented. I am a vegan and the food was delicious, they catered to me so well. If you’re in the area this restaurant is a must (even worth it if you live far too).

Stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of April 25. Had dinner here and the food was great, but it was a very rushed service - very small space between courses; it almost felt like they wanted us through and out so they could re-sit the table. We wanted to savour and enjoy the food (which, to be fair, was good, if a bit over-seasoned) but it was all too rushed to be relaxing. The room was great though - clean and one of the more spacious 'pub' style rooms I've been in - and the staff/service were excellent. Slow down my friday evening dinner, let me relax and enjoy it and you'd have got 5 stars!

Wasn't open at 12.30 today, Monday. Coach load of unhappy passengers! And, of course, as the driver, it's my fault.

Perfectly cooked full English. Price included generous cappuccino. Airy and clean cafe. Modern tables and chairs. Friendly efficient staff. Value for money.

Absolutely lovely place, my partner and I were celebrating and went for a nice date here. Great food with lovely decor, chef even refunded us the price of our desserts as they weren’t satisfied with the presentation (still tasted amazing). Will definitely be back again this summer, would recommend.

Absolutely superb lunch, the quality of the food was on a par with Michelin starred meals we’ve had in the past. Seasonal and fresh produce Friendly and professional staff. Fabulous - thank you Summer Lodge.

Stopped off for a drink Fri pm, and decided to stay for dinner....what a mistake that turned out to be! We were staying locally on holiday and knew that the palce had recently changed hands and reopened, the Pub and drinks were Ok. The meals were not!! we ordered the childs Scampi (Which we had to ask the price of, not displayed on menu) I had the adult portion and my wife had the chinese curry. The childs portion was almost identical to the adult portion, which was nothing more supermarket basic frozen scampi! i had asked if the scampi was wholertail scampi....didnt have a clue what that meant! Scampi arrived on top of the fries in a metal dish on the main plate with peas and Tartre sauce, why in a metal dish?? anyhow it was pathetic! my wife dish (sauce was loaded with peanuts!!!!, no mention of this on the menu and no one asked about allergies!!! Could have had a serious mishap!! whilst the villagers welcome the pub reopening the new owners need to get to grips with the restaurant, please be aware, in our opinion the food was below an acceptable level!! At no point were we asked if we had any issues with our food, at no point were we asked if we required more drinks, at no point were we asked if we required desserts or coffee, total amateurs!!

Another most delicious meal - lunch this time - the gigot with wild mushrooms and pommes dauphinoises was perfect. And easy parking just outside.

On April 26th, 2025 we had our wedding reception at the Pilot Boat Inn. We had 81 adults and 9 children. It was an amazing day and the team led by Johnny, Charlie and Monique went out of their way to ensure everything ran smoothly. Our guests had very generous canapes, four choices of pre selected mains followed by three desserts. A very well received menu which we planned with the team. The staff arranged and dressed all of the tables and even provided a dance floor. The atmosphere created by the Pilot Boat was relaxed and very happy. Thank you so much. A great venue for a wedding or large party group. We would highly recommend .

Late afternoon lunch after visiting Abbotsbury swannery on a spring Sunday, lovely home cooked food and drinks. Super friendly and welcoming staff. It was a perfect day out

My partner and I went in pretty late on a Saturday night to order a takeaway, we were served by a Jazmine who was super lovely and accommodating! I really wanted a wrap which nandos no longer make but the staff did the best they could for me to have it! They were so lovely about it, especially considering how late I went in! I didn’t catch the chefs name but he was also super lovely with it! 10/10 service!

Visit here fortnightly on average with my children. Food is as expected for a spoons, you get what you pay for. However the kitchen staff show no knowledge of basic hygiene. In and out of kitchen to see friends.. coughing into hands.. picking nose! One young guy sat on a table to have his brunch break, kept in kitchen clothes. Ate with hands.. licking fingers and wiping down his kitchen clothes. Vile!
