The best restaurants in England

Ashfields far exceeded our expectations. Friendly, welcoming servers and outstanding food. Every effort was made to ensure we had a positive dining experience and I would definitely recommend a visit. Excited to see what the 2024/25 programme of events has to offer.

A shame it’s closing! Wonderful food and warm welcome at all times! It was the place for breakfast in Blackpool Will def miss it

A lovely traditional cafe in the stunning indoor Market, Redruth. Its just a nice old fashioned cafe with no pretentious airs and graces! Staff are lovely and working very busily when I arrived. I ordered a coffee and a small breakfast with extra tomato. Took a while due to them being very popular. But, when it did it hit the spot, just what I needed to keep me going.

The Bay Horse is a truly outstanding place for a meal. Although a little out of the way, it's well worth a visit. Not only is the food thoroughly delicious but the service was exemplary. Altogether an outstanding pub/restaurant and I highly recommend it!

Best lunch spot around fast and healthy 💪🏼 coke here pretty much twice a week for food, always great staff and mega food

We stayed whilst visiting daughter who is at harper Adam’s university. Excellent value for money- £63 for one night. You stay in an annexe behind the pub. Room was cosy, warm, what was expected for the price. The bed was comfy, standard double so if you’re very tall might struggle. En suite bathroom was small but adequate; dated but perfectly fine for one night stay. The main light and fan in the bathroom weren’t working but for one night it was fine. Shower was hot and excellent. Tv in room, tea and coffee making facilities. Room was warm with a radiator. There was noise from the beer garden until approx 1am but we expected this when booking an annexe at a pub. All in all it was perfect for a one night stay, central to Newport, near pubs, bars and coffee shops.

Possibly the best coffee I have had. Great selection of home cakes and a fantastic ethos for local produce and plastic free.

I was looking for somewhere different to take my hubby for breakfast and stumbled across the canal boat cafe. It was easy to book a table online. We went for a nice walk along the canal and built up an appetite first. The boat itself was quite chilly and you could see your breath in the air. We were wrapped up from our walk anyway, so this was not an issue. The interior is clean and comfortable and I liked the little touch of Rosie and Jim sat at the back. They have a large breakfast menu, including veggie and vegan options. We ordered 2 regular breakfasts at £10.95 each. They also do mini breakfasts and jumbo breakfasts. The food came in good time and there was plenty of it. My hubby enjoyed his, with his only gripe being he would've preferred his toast slightly more toasted rather than just "warm bread". Personally I thought 2 slices of toast was the standard for this sized breakfast, but we only got one, which I would normally say would be fair with a small breakfast. The most disappointing thing, though, was the hair I found in my breakfast, This didn't put me off finishing the breakfast, which was a nice breakfast, but my hubby did point this out to a member of staff, who to be fair, was very apologetic and offered us a free breakfast, which we didn't want. We just wanted them to be aware. This wouldn't put us off returning in the future, but I know it would be a major no-no for others. They also do a lunch menu and the prices here are very reasonable. They are dog-friendly too and there is plenty of outdoor seating, so I can imagine this gets busy very quickly in the summer. Boat trips are also offered and, again, at very reasonable prices. Overall it was a nice way to spend a morning out together.

We’ve visited the Bar and Grill many times and as a result have high expectations! I’ll begin with the negative. Tuesday evening, 6.30pm booking. No steaks available. I appreciate that you rely on suppliers but this was a disappointment. No matter, we ordered the pie of the day and a burger with gnocchi staters. The food was outstanding, as we have come to expect. Great presentation, well cooked and very good service. This restaurant has become our “go to” choice in Brackley and despite the absence of the steaks it lived up to expectations. Thank you and we look forward to the next visit!

Amazing! First off, the staff are so friendly. They never hesitate to answer any questions and make you feel so welcome, no matter the day/time. The decor and the atmosphere are great. I keep finding new details to admire. Love the surprise in the ladies’ loo as well! 🤫✨ The new menu is to die for! Gorgeous. I hate to admit I’ve had two burgers in the space of a week but can’t resist. This isn’t bog standard stuff - this is a menu that’s been properly thought through and they’ve thought outside the box! Unique things I haven’t seen before - super tasty. Try it all. The cocktail menu is equally fab - loads of choice and beautifully presented.

We had the best breakfast and lovely friendly service. Wonderful start to our day. Our dog enjoyed the visit too. Cosy place with amazing garden area to sit. Love it all! We will be back!

This was our first visit to Serving Thyme and we’ll certainly return to the café. Next time we’ll include a visit the shop and garden sales area, which looked very tempting. The food was tasty and the staff were welcoming. Tables were cleared quickly and there was even someone hovering near the door to open it for customers. The man tending the plants was knowledgable and took great pride in his work. This meant the reasonably priced winter bedding plants were in great condition. Serving Thyme is an unusual concept which definitely seems to work. Worth a visit and even a detour.

Fantastic experience. Really friendly place with great food. Good value for money in York. Waiters were lovely. Lovely old building.

I can't praise this Cafe highly enough. Right from our first visit, the service has been excellent and the staff very, very friendly. The food is always delicious and excellent value. The Cafe also has such a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere that it has now become a regular place for my wife and I to go for a tasty breakfast or an afternoon snack, relax, and also get to meet other locals. But don't think twice if you're not a local but just visiting the area, the staff are such lovely people they will make you feel so welcome. And, very important for us, it's dog friendly.

Mi pareja y yo disfrutamos de una comida excepcional en este encantador restaurante de gestión familiar. Cócteles bellamente elaborados en el bar para empezar, una deliciosa botella de vino a un precio razonable, dos entrantes excepcionales, servicio principal y un postre compartido, a £ 60 por persona. Servicio personalizado y atento de las dos amigables damas de la casa. Una velada perfecta. ¡Si alguna vez volvemos a Bournemouth, seguro que volveremos!
