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

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

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 disappointing. When we booked the table, I mentioned that I have cealiacs and they no problem. When I turned up they said that they cannot guarantee that there is no cross contamination. What a waste of a booking. Please do not say that it is suitable for cealiacs if that is not the case.

Second visit and exceeded our already high expectations. A really friendly welcome from the team as we walked through the door. There is a wonderful vibe to this restaurant, lively yet intimate. The menu changes regularly but great local produce. Attentive but not overbearing service. Freebies which always go down well with some great bread and an appetiser of a creamy parsnip velouté which was beyond delicious particularly as I have a real dislike of that particular vegetable! A choice of five (six?) dishes for starters, mains and desserts so not overwhelming! Good wine list, by the glass or bottle. And the food. Simply outstanding. I had a crėme brûlée of crab, my partner had a goat cheddar mousse to kick off. Beef fillet and duck respectively to follow both demonstrating an attention to detail and showing off innovation and respect for the ingredients by the chef and his team. Beetroot and ginger sticky toffee pudding and passion fruit crème brûlée. It’s extremely rare that we both have three courses, fortunately the plates are not overloaded and there is such a good balance that we left pleasantly full! Outstanding value from a restaurant that takes a real pride in making their diners feel special and happy! Only downside? I can’t eat here every day.

The place itself is lovely but so recently came for an afternoon tea- charged at £30pp. The sandwiches were very average. The overall amount of food each person got was quite small for the price. The coffee was also average. Quite overpriced for what you receive.

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

This incredible hotel was a great experience, i felt like absolute royalty, there is even a park opposite and wonderfull food, 5 stars ( if I could give 100 I would!) And very happy and polite staff! - happy customer age 10

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

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.

Just lovely, peaceful and excellent food and service 👌

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

We came here for my Mums 90th Birthday celebration. From start to finish nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They made us feel so welcome and were very accommodating! The food was lovely too. I would definitely recommend The Pilot Boat

Have driven past the Swan on many occasions on the way to Bridport and have been intrigued by the Steak and Kidney Pie advertised on the A Aboard. I was not disappointed it was excellent, very tender meat and served with three vegetables. The rest a the party were equally impressed with their meal. The atmosphere was a traditional English pub and the staff were pleasant welcoming. If you’re driving past pop in you won’t be disappointed.

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!
