Anyone know any decent restaurants near Axminster, Devon?

Off on our hols later in the week, and looking for reccomendations on good restaurants to take the missus to!

I know the River Cottage one is nearby, but the reviews haven't been that gleaming, so wondering if anyone with local knowledge can suggest a lovely place nearby?

Many ta's in advance!

Coombe House, though closer to Honiton, but not that far – food very nice and nice surroundings Si

Second Coombe house, used to be owned by friends of the family, and still produces top quality food

Forgot Monkton court hotel, in Monkton.

Cheers – Both look nice 🙂

Emmet house near Grockle is nice…

Isn't "emmet" what the cornish call people who prevent them from living in the third world ?

@ TM…ah you got me! (i couldn't resist), you may want to look up grockle too!

they don't help me out in any way financially though..!

Is there a single decent restraunt in the whole of the south west? they have their taste buds removed at birth down there.

yeah not a culinary paradise like Scotland huh ?

May be a bit too far west, but La Petit Maison in Topsham – best food I have ever tasted – but quite pricey and needs to be booked as it's, er, quite small.

have you lived in both places Monkey?
