The best restaurants in United Kingdom

We have had many takeaways from lockdown and its always been very good, however on Friday this was not the case, we waited well over an hour, the food was cold, the corn ribs honey dressing pot was melted and hardly any honey left. Just a waste of money, very disappointed.

Visited with my daughter on our usual Saturday quest to taste scones wherever we end up. This Saturday we needed to visit Darlington so we asked a local shop owner where the best scones were and here was where he recommended. Small little cafe couple tables downstairs few more upstairs but we visited before lunch and got seated straight away. Although it was early was no fruit scones left which was disappointing so only managed to test the cheese scone - deluxe hot chocolate but no cream so daughter a tad disappointed They did warm scones if asked so nice bonus. Tea was in a teapot which is preferable but it was very strong. Some hot water might have helped I could have asked I guess Prices were good Service acceptable - not the fastest service when standing in queue. There was a large queue outside when we left so presume it gets rather busy at times.

Another stop at Fenland, always a friendly welcome and a great place to get a Gluten Free breakfast. Tucked just outside Lincoln and a short hop from the bypass, Fenland Hideaway is certainly worth a visit.

We were guests at a celebration which took place at this very welcoming cafe. It's a superb venue and the staff went completely above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The main bar is airy and spacious, the side bar provides a more secluded space and downstairs there is another wonderful spacious area with a cozy fire and a home from home feel. Fidelio has clear musical / opera connections, but you don't need to be a musician to enjoy the space, excellent service and high quality food and drinks.

The Grape Variety at Chipstead is a hidden gem… wine shop by day, wine bar by night. Adrian and his team do a superb job and we always love going. Great wines, lovely service and ambience and some lovely food options e.g. chorizo and fries, baked Camembert, charcuterie boards etc. We highly recommend and it makes a nice change from the pub for something a bit different.

Extremely disappointed with service this evening. I was not treated when I approached the till to be made aware someone would be with me soon .To my great disappointment I was served my sitting in order in a take away cup.Wasn’t asked if sitting in or take away. There were at least 20 used take away cups stacked on the counter, so I’m guessing I was not the only one to be served a take away when sitting in. I could understand if understaffed or extremely busy and they needed to save time on washing up however it was really quiet. The service staff standing around behind the counter chatting and using profanities. I’m not one to be offended by this however I feel that this showed to me that the staff did not care one jot about my customer experience. I don’t come to Starbucks to sit in and drink out a paper cup . Certainly not at that price 😤

The food. The food was SPECTACULAR. I got the Kaya’s grill mix. Everything was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was on point. The staff were very nice and super friendly. Atmosphere is a lovely blend of modern design and historic Mediterranean motif. I cannot possibly recommend this place enough. If you live here please give them a try. And if you’re visiting or traveling through Halifax you MUST come here.

Excellent!! We had the Avocado Smash Bagel and enjoyed it immensely. Everyone was cheerful and helpful. So happy to have found a plant based coffee shop in the area. Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely place with really great staff and delicious food. We’ll be back! The kalimirchi chicken was incredible. Thank you ☺️

Had an amazing time at Morgan and Watson on Valentines day, everytime from the 3 course menu was amazing and a must try! Will definitely be hoping to go here next year. Great atmosphere and friendly staff - quick service and big portions. Would highly recommend!

We went for breakfast and weren’t disappointed. Our vegan breakfast was very tasty with plenty of delicious items. The cafe had a really friendly feel as well as offering plenty of options for something to eat for local Buxtonians or visitors alike as well as plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.

We have just returned from a long weekend here and it was brilliant Debbie & Steve both very attentative, the accommodation, they even gave us a complimentary glass of prosecco each on our anniversary. Selkies was just what we needed, a spacious, clean and tidy room with en-suite to sleep at night. We also met Alban one of the barmen and he was just as great as the owners. The food was delicious, seriously recommend the cheese board platter, halloumi and the garlic mushrooms. We will definitely be returning in the very near future.
