The best restaurants in United Kingdom

Don’t be misled by the carwash in front of it! It really is a gem! Great service and fabulous freshly cooked food. We will be back!

I had been looking forward to visiting DN1 for a while. Beautifully intimate venue, but absolutely has the vibey buzz I love- even within a small space. We sat in the dinining area which was lovely, but we will definitely try the chefs table next time- that’s where all the action happens! He food was fab- innovate and well put together - the cod tongue and macaroons were our favourites. *chefs kiss* But above anything…what impressed us most, was the service level- unrivaled. Incredible from such a young team- everyone was brilliant, but Tom is truly fantasitc. We can’t wait to visit again- bravo!

Very friendly, delicious cakes and drinks, highly recommend a stop off here. Liked the cake so much bought one to bring home. Staff were so very kind to my young kids who were made to feel welcome. There’s a nice little church to stroll around next to it if you need to stretch your legs afterwards.

This restaurant is up along with the likes of the Waldorff Hotel, It is a college for students starting their careers in hospitality. The service is excellent and the food magnificent. Occassionally there is a guest chef who spends a couple of days with the students and they guide the students to create their Menu for service to customers of a Thursday evening. If like me you want to try amazing food for a fraction of the cost, or you just want to support the next generation of hospitality staff and Chefs, then this is the place to go! Don't in anyway think that because the students are learning there will be any mistakes because the first class Lecturers are there to make sure there are none! You will not regret a visit and I go every week in term time have tried many dishes, and have never had a bad meal. These students are trained so highly they win many National competitions and so have the Lecturers. Well done Loughborough College for the high standards and excellent skills and Lecturers this center/restaurant provides.

Been to this coffee shop multiple times. The owners are really friendly chatty people! The coffee is lovely and the food is delicious 👌 soft fresh bread and thick bacon for the sandwiches and the cake is good too! You can sit inside or outside and both areas are clean and pleasant to sit at Especially outside on a nice day. I went in one time with my baby in his pram on a particularly sunny day and while I was waiting for my order I was offered some water ❤️ (I hadn’t said anything to initiate this offer) I thought it was a lovely gesture and much appreciated. Highly recommend if you’re in the area especially while out on a walk ☀️

Passing through towards the end of a long journey, we were delighted to find this open on a Monday morning. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was the most delicious I’ve ever tasted - especially that wonderful bacon! Definitely worth a detour! Thanks so much!

I cannot rate this tea room highly enough. We received a very warm welcome and settled on a cream tea. The scones were warm and there was plentiful cream and homemade jam. Delicious! They support the local community bus so I’d encourage you to buy a book from the second hand book shelf in the tea room.

The best coffee in town & sausage rolls to die for… Very reasonably priced & friendly helpful staff Extremely happy customer..

This was my 3 rd visit each time the food has been fantastic we’ve loved every dish .I’ll definitely be back soon . Thank you

Visited this place when I was in Dumfries catching up with my brother. The venue, an old church, is just stunning and the staff are amazing. The supervision given to the younger staff is exceptional. We had a brunch which was huge! Fantastic food and value for money. I will be back when I'm next in Dumfries

Great venue spotlessly clean and staff very efficient I was served by a very polite and friendly lady called Claire would highly recommend the Vale Bar

Googled somewhere to have a breakfast and the coffee house came up. Very lovely breakfast, and the latte was beautiful.

Excellent set menu. Sophisticated staff. Lovely first class setting. Superb cuisine. There was literally nothing to fault and it compares well with excellent London restaurants. Locally sourced produce, meats and cheeses. What a registrant should be like.

Had lunch here on a cold wet day. There are a couple of pavement tables but it was not a day for sitting outside. The soup was ideal and very tasty. It was noticeable that the staff were exceptionally helpful towards customers with mobility problems, going outside to help one person out of a car and through the door. Very heart warming.

Lovely surroundings, excellent service and reasonably priced well-made coffee. My brother and I are on a surfing trip and have made this our morning coffee stop. Well worth a visit and getting an alcohol licence this week which adds another dimension.
