The best restaurants in United Kingdom

A1 even on match day.. food really good. Worth a visit

Chipotle chicken quesadilla 10/10

Used to be way better but now it's way overpriced and everything was too salty

An excellent Chefs special was had by all on our table. All the food was really good. Usual selection of beers as you’d expect including alcohol free. Attentive service. It was very busy on the Tuesday early evening which is always a good sign though that also meant it was quite difficult to have a whole table conversation due to background noise where we were sat. There are cubicle areas that are probably better for sound. The poppadoms to start were rather small but the mains were overly generous so more than made up for it!

Wow! I thought serious food at lunch like this had pretty much died out! Stepped through the door for a pint of Greene King IPA with a friend and decided to stay for lunch. Interior is clean and simple with an extensive well-lit dining room but I preferred to take a table in the bar. On Thursday lunchtime, it's unlikely to be packed but even so a couple of tables of appreciative regulars were in place. The service is impeccable, helpful and knowledgeable. Rarely use the term 'gastro pub' but if that's a place that turns out great food and can keep beer well, then, this is it. I did linger over the wine list but was driving so couldn't be tempted to even a decent fino sherry to start or a glass of the excellent Hungarian dry tokai or a bottle from the impressive list on clarets. The evident quality of the produce and the fact that local suppliers for beef, game and poultry inter alia, get star billing is a major tick of approval in my book. Enough of me blathering. After an amuse-bouche of pumpkin soup topped with a spiced oil which really hit the spot, my starter of confit pork belly - caramelised underneath with a layer of crispy crackling on top - with herbs, microgreens, apple and vibrant dashi stock was one of the best starters I've had in a very long time. My guest's spiced chicken was similarly impressive and kept this curry fanatic very happy with it's nod to the enduringly popular chicken tikka masala. Sadly, it was a quick lunch or we would have tried the prawn cocktail in savoury cornet and the venison dish from the snacks list as well. I have to admit lasagna rarely sets my pulse rating on a menu. I'm pleased that the unusual combination of pine nuts, aubergine and sage 'reeled me' in but was still not prepared for the rich, highly flavoured stack with which I was presented. A momentary doubt that it might be a bit dry was immediately corrected by the addition, at table, of a fabulous cheese sauce closely followed by another which resembled more a pesto than a sauce. These together with deep fried sage leaves completed what amounted to a substantial dish. The control of ingredients and exact techniques of this kitchen were also on show with lamb main course chosen by my guest. Can't say much more because my concentration was taken up with my lasagna! Would have loved to have tried either the cheeses or one of the magnificent puddings on offer but time did not allow. I ear-wigged from a conversation with the manager on another table that the kitchen here has five chefs at lunch on a week day; seven in the evening! That's an investment in quality and technique that one is rarely confronted by nowadays when you call in a for a casual lunch. Great food, great pub setting, wonderful service. The two or three course lunch menu also represents great value in these uncertain times. I shall be back!

Delightfully different Mediterranean menu from a range of different countries, well cooked and presented. The Artezzan has a lovely buzz to it and the service was just perfect. So why only four stars when everything else was five. Well we were given the table for only an hour and a half, not enough time. Shame really.

amazing service and food, would absolutely come back

Came mostly because Sherlock. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. I loved the atmosphere and the food. I can only recommend this amazing place and I will be back as soon as possible.

100% recommend! Fantastic hotel and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The team were very helpful from start to finish. Prior to our stay we were emailing back and forth regarding the breakfast ingredients due to my daughter having a milk allergy which they specifically catered for. The breakfast was lovely, the room were spotless and it was a decent size. The room had a tv, a fan, kettle, plenty of tea/coffee/sugar/biscuits, hairdryer, fridge ect. The hotel had parking which were a bonus as we found a lot of the other hotels didn’t have parking or it was at an extra cost. We would definitely stay here again! 😊

Excellent evening at Cinnamon Spice. Brilliant service, smiley friendly staff. Chicken tikka masala was delicious, lovely meat (and I’m fussy) Will definitely be returning

Was looking forward to visiting this restaurant due to its reputation but was left very disappointed. After being seated we were told that we would have to move to another table as we had been shown to the wrong one. We had a long wait before we were served our drinks and another long wait for our food. The food when we finally received it was very nice, but before we had even been asked if we would like a desert we were told that we had to move upstairs as they needed our table for other people. We declined and asked for our bill instead. The waiter obviously knew we had been messed about as he was apologising before we had even voiced any issues and offered to take a percentage off our bill which was appreciated, however, it would have been much better to have just had a nice meal out with good service.

Great lunch. Amazing setting and food. My husband had brill at a brill price. Our son had an amazing quantity of scallops, again amazing quality. I had juicy mussels. Altogether fab. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic restaurant with a wide range of lunch options including for gluten free and children. Friendly staff and really tasty food.

Always a great experience! I’ve been coming here every now and then for years, whether just for drinks or food, and it never disappoints. The staff are always fantastic, and the atmosphere is consistently wonderful. Highly recommend!

Great food nicely presented. I'm surprised this place is not more popular on Sunday, but lucky us, I guess. Poached duck eggs were a very interesting twist, and make sure to order their pancake as it is indeed a perfect finisher.
