H and H Burgers, Strode Road, Clevedon (opposite Asda)

Had a Burger here a few years ago when it was located on Teignmouth Road, the Burger Bar has moved to Asda car park and is now conveniently located opposite the store and is a joint that always seems to attract a lot of trade, easy to see why...

Lovely friendly staff and owner, I had a Bacon sarnie, tasty thick Bacon and nice fresh quality bread, with a piping hot cup of tea for around three quid.

Proper fodder for the those on the road.

Star Fish Bar, 10 Old Street, Clevedon

The Star Fish Bar opened it's doors something like around 18 months ago, initial early reviews back then were good so I gave it a go, I've been a regular ever since!

Great portions, consistently good food, we went for our usual Saturday night meal, portion of Chips (the portions are huge and one is enough for two), Cod, two Battered Sausages and Curry Sauce. As usual the Cod is excellent, fluffy quality meat, good batter, Chip portion huge, very rarely has the place disappointed me, and tonight was no exception, easily the best Chippy in the 'Don!

Opulentia, Queens Rd, Clevedon

Previously the rather disappointing Seven Burger Bar, I didn't realise it had been taken over and become a Pizza Parlour complete with authentic clay oven in the kitchen. Some friends had given it the thumbs up, so one Saturday evening we popped in for a takeaway pizza.

We went for the 12" Crispy Duck with Hosin sauce, cucumber, spring onion, Mozzarella for £9-49. Staff aren't the most cheerful, must have taken lessons from Seven, and our Pizza was in front of our noses in under 10 minutes. Took it home to eat, and just driving back it did smell nice, and thankfully it tasted just as good. Good sprinkling of tasty duck, nice pizza base, the large strips of cucumber I thought was a bit odd, took those off and just ate them as a side!

A very nice effort then, not cheap though, I still feel that nearly a tenner for an average sized pizza to takeaway is a bit steep, but the food was faultless.

(N.B Rather disappointing to see they only achieved a 2 star hygiene rating recently though)

The Crab Apple Inn, Southern Way, Clevedon

First things first, the niceties. Ordered the Sausage and Mash with gravy which cost around a fiver or so, very tasty, piping hot, very nice.

Downsides, the staff are miserable as sin, especially the woman who served me, think she was the Landlady (!) face like a smacked backside, not even a hint of a smile, food took an age to turn up on a quiet miserable weekday, ho hum.

Good value grub, don't expect John Lewis levels of customer service though folks.

The Salthouse, Salthouse Road, Clevedon

Had the Roast Beef baguette, 'Roast Beef' is a slight exaggeration, processed slice supermarket meat. Came in an ok baguette, horseradish was advertised on the dish, probably half a tea spoon as I could hardly taste it.

Came with salad, very nice crunchy coleslaw, cucumber, a few sprogs of vine tomatoes, and the usual peppery lettuce that pubs like so much but I hate.

Acceptable but for six quid, nothing special.

Seven, Gourmet Burger House, Queens Road, Clevedon

It takes a brave man to open a 'Gourmet Burger' restaurant, off the beaten track (Queens Road) in a small town but that's just what someone did a month ago, and now I've finally got round to giving it a go.

There's two types of Burger on offer, the 'normal' menu, ranging from £1:25 for a basic burger, to £2:95 for a deluxe quarter pounder with Cheese, and the 'Gourmet' menu which start at £4:50 for a burger with just mayo and salad, and no chips, that's an extra quid!

I went for the Blue Cheese Melt, which as the name suggests comes with blue cheese, mayo and salad (mushrooms also but I didn't bother) The Burger looked and tasted good, good thickness well cooked, with some nice fries, that's where the plaudits end though. The Blue Cheese was almost non-existent, you could barely taste it, the salad comprised two pieces of tomato and a tiny bit of lettuce, no onions, and for £5:50 this really isn't great value.

The restaurant doesn't take cards (this is the 21st Century ffs!), once served you are pretty much ignored, and when we left there was barely a murmur of thanks, dreadful customer service.

The Old Inn, Clevedon

The Old Inn's been getting some good reviews from the locals so I thought it was time to haul ass there to try one of their Burgers.

£6-75 for a double Burger, Bacon, Cheese and Chips seemed a good choice, and it didn't disappoint.

Nice large, well cooked, and quality, couple of slabs of Cow, Bun wasn't the best at supporting the weight of the Bovine, not really a problem. Nice ample portion of chips, fresh salad (cucumber, tomato, pepper, lettuce)

 Thumbs up!

Campbells Landing, The Beach, Clevedon

Visited one weekday afternoon, Pub has been recently refurbished and looks bright with nice furnishings, leather sofas etc .

Ordered the Gammon, Chips and pineapple with no peas, food was piping hot, and tasty though it must be said not the largest meal for just over a fiver, some additional salad would have been nice.

Still, recommended.
