The best restaurants in United Kingdom

Excellent all round. Friendly staff, delicious food, generous portion sizes and fairly priced.

Found this place in 2023 and have been many times, it is great on all fronts...food, service, atmosphere,price and quality....best bacon rolls! Highly recommend.

Firstly. I have had several lunches here all of superb quality at an exceptionally good price. This visit I had a burger and chips which was amongst the best available in Basingstoke at a very competitive price, it couldn't have been improved on, see the photos. Secondly, the fact that this is a wonderful charity for training individuals with learning disabilities. Most of the staff are in training, gaining priceless skills and confidence, though this is barely noticeable, indeed some customers I got chatting to were completely unaware of the ethos behind the cafe. In summary amazing food, great service and by visiting you will be supporting an amazing charity. It is a lovely social cafe, providing, food, a meeting place, and training. On top of all this It is also. Dog friendly.

Good size and thickness of fish. Chips were nicely cooked and still soft. Not the cheapest but definitely one of the best in the area. Definitely worth the extra cost for size and quality. Usually cut the fish in half and get two meals out of it with a round of bread and mushy peas.

Great place, we were sent for breakfast from the local inn, and presented with the best breakfast we’d ever been offered! Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, well used by the locals, (always a good sign) dog friendly - a real treat from beginning to end - many thanks

Was lovely but not enough snacks would have lik a toasted teacake but not on menu opted for cake it was delicious not too crowded staff friendly and helpful

This place is just amazing. Lovely place, great food, great coffee, cakes to die for. This is how to do it! Arbennig dros ben, byddwn yma eto cyn bo hir. Pob llwyddiant i chi gyd.

Amazing Sunday lunch We booked well in advance as there was 28 of us (18th birthday celebration) Every body was really impressed with the food. Thanks to Glyn and staff

The worst food on the island and horrible rude staff. Made me very uncomfortable. I couldn't finish my meal it was so awful and it also made me quite ill the next day. Avoid at all costs!!!

Tasty food. But overpriced for poached egg. Empty table next to us hadn’t been wiped, and waitress took too much interest in the screen when I was asked to add 10, 15 or 20% service charge.

Met my mum, sister and baby niece (and dog) for brunch. The food was delicious and freshly cooked. Service was quick and friendly with nothing being too much trouble. Gluten free options available. Would there again. Thank you 😊

A wonderful evening with superb food and friendly attentive service. We shared 6 mezze dishes and it was an absolute feast of delicious fresh flavours. Washed down with delightful Lebanese wine. All in elegant surroundings.

Jerk chicken and curried mutton were both outstanding. Great portion size!! The rice and peas were perfect

I’d seen the Poorhouse on Tripadvisor when I was looking for food in the local area. What an absolutely fab place. We were lucky enough to be about Thurs & Fri night and so had one of the pizzas (well in fact, ordered one to take home too). We did half & half on both pizzas and I have to say, they are the nicest tasting we’ve had for a long time. The place is really dog friendly too. Please go if you’re in the area, the staff & food were so lovely I can’t wait to go back.

The lunch we had at Cradle was nearly sublime. Reassuringly one choice only re starter and main. The Carrot & Apple soup was rich and deeply good; the accompanying bread and pickled salad a wonderful treat. Then later, as utterly made to order, the main. So many ingredients harmonising and nourishing …Franky, best lunch in memory
