The best restaurants in United Kingdom

Probably the best Steak & Ale pie I have ever had. My wife had the gammon which was perfectly cooked. A proper old pub with very friendly staff. Thanks.

The hotel is undoubtedly in a superb location, the staff helpful and attentive as you would hope, given what is charged, I went for afternoon tea and I would point out that this experience was at best average , for the following reasons. The “tea” is split into 3 components a savory followed by cakes and then scones. It’s very unbalanced with sweets taking up 2/3 of the serving. And frankly given that there is no choice on what is served, the savory element was fairly unappetizing and suggested they were over eager to provide a choice that as an ensemble simply doesn’t work. From smoked salmon to coronation chicken is the sort of think an over eager wedding planner might suggest to cover all the bases but for 2 people 50% of what was put in front of us was left and the enormous amount of sweet choices frankly overpowering. The scones were excellent but £110 later we left having enjoyed the surroundings but deeply unimpressed with the food.

What a fabulous place! Excellent host, great food, lovely wine and stunning white port! Highly recommended

Me encanta esta comida y siempre la compro los sábados. Las samosas son perfectas y relativamente grandes, y nunca me ha decepcionado este puesto. Los precios son razonables y la comida es muy fresca, no me puedo quejar.

Not many places open in Melton at the present (Don't know why). Decent service, very quick, can sit down outside, semi sheltered from the weather. Very good bacon sandwich and nice tea. Price not bad either

we found this lovely place by accident. Wonderful food, totally fresh and clean and home cooked in lovely cosy surroundings. Comfy chairs, sparkling dishes and cutlery, everything was spotless and the people who run it were charming. A lovely place to relax and enjoy lovely food or simply some coffee and maybe a bit of cake. Really a charming place.

If there’s one thing I know from my first-class days, it’s how to spot top-tier service and great food—and the tapas evening at Cap & Feathers in Tillingham did not disappoint. Four of us touched down for a night of food and fun, and we were in for a treat! Every table was packed, and yet the service was smooth, with friendly staff and that fire roaring away, adding the perfect cosy touch. Now, onto the food: prawns, chilli chicken, beef, and a paella that made us want to stay grounded for more. Those dishes were the stars of the night, bursting with flavour and seriously good value. It’s not every day you find a menu that matches the quality you’d expect at 35,000 feet! A special shout-out to Dave, the chef, who came out for a chat, making sure everything hit the spot. It’s those personal touches that make all the difference. And with the music and buzzing atmosphere, it felt like a full-on fiesta—no turbulence here! Honestly, it was an evening where everything came together perfectly—great food, great company, and even better service. I’ll definitely be booking another seat at this culinary flight!

CL&B provide a good selection of coffee and a prompt delivery service. The website is user friendly and easy to order from. The retail price of their coffee is good value. Regular customer

Love the ethos of the place. "The staff and volunteers are being trained in invaluable skills and hospitality experience to help them improve their career prospects. Guests are welcomed to make our house their home for the day, sample the menu and meet the wonderful people who are giving back to the community!" The environment is warm and inviting and the staff are super friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I'd gone there, as part of time put aside specifically to sit and reflect on the memory of someone. I wanted somewhere relaxed and unhurried, where I wasn't made to feel I'd overstayed my welcome. It was certainly better than many places in that regard. It transpired that they run their own radio station which was transmitted into the cafe. Great idea for those involved in creating and running that. However, the music wasn't to my taste and was rather loud, so I was unable to relax. Of course some visitors will actively enjoy this aspect. I wanted to point it out because it may possibly affect people's ability to enjoy the place fully, as a cafe and meeting place. I would have struggled to have a tranquil conversation with someone over coffee. It would be a great place for small groups to have informal meetings but again I think the level of the radio transmission would be unhelpful in that situation. It may be that the radio station isn't transmitting all day, every day. I can only review my own experience there. The place was quite "buzzy" enough to create a warm atmosphere Some very quiet, non abrasive background music would have been perfectly acceptable to me, I just found this to be too invasive. It may be that the benefits to the volunteers in operating the radio station, far outweigh the benefits of maybe getting more customers into the cafe ... and I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm sure the project is all about balance and I wish them every success. If you don't mind loud, fashionable music, then it could be a great little hideaway for you.

Lovely coffee and ham and mozzarella cheese toastie! Very pleasant staff and accommodating! Will definitely come again.

Can't help who comes through the door as some other idiot seems to think 🤔 My favourite place to go for a cuppa tea and a breakfast or a breakfast bun.

Lovely coffee, people and atmosphere. A really nice find and will certainly be returning when next visiting the garden centre

We were staying just down the road and came a couple of evenings for a drink. Tiny bar frequented by a handful of regulars, all of whom were exceptionally friendly and made us feel really welcome. Thank you Tom, Pat and Eddie for your hospitality and company. This was the highlight of our trip to Northern Ireland.

This place is amazing for those that want a great pint of Ale or Cider at £3.50. No fuss. Great for a social meeting that is warped back in time in the Victorian era. Think Peaky Blinders without the gangsters!

Amazing transformation! Hadn’t been in a while but delighted to say the food has been upgraded to restaurant standard. Will definitely be going back, there were 4 of us and all had something different. Everyone was delighted with food, special mention to the lamb kofta and curry. Service was impeccable, staff were friendly, polite, professional and adhering to all COVID guidelines without being overbearing. Thank you for a great evening
