The best restaurants in England

Very lovely meal for my Dad’s birthday. Was a last minute thing and got us a table no problem. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Very good feeling place to go. I was treated extremely nicely as I have a peanut allergy and couldn’t have been more careful, gave me a free Naan bread and communicated very well what I would be able to have. Had the pleasure of 5 free Bailey shots on the house too which was a nice way to end the evening. Thank you for a lovely evening

Food was excellent, steak was absolutely amazing cooked to perfection! The service was good. Only one negative, £6.5 for a bottle of peroni seemed a bit steep, however wouldn’t stop me going back.

Absolutely fantastic food and great value, Went as part of a one night stay in Cheltenham, we were so impressed. Food was outstanding. , great flavours and portion size - albeit we had to ask for containers to take some home. Great service and value !!!

We ordered a afternoon lunch selection for 25 people at our baby shower in Lincoln. The owner Dez could not do enough to meet our requests. He delivered a fantastic spread. The selection of sandwiches were delicious and he catered for everyone’s dietary needs. His homemade sausages and his scones with cream and strawberries went down a storm. They delivered to our venue, which took away all the added stress. Thanks again for delivering us a lovely spread on our special day. We will definitely use Margaret’s Tea Rooms a again.

Fabulous lunch. The food was delicious, the food selection of wines reasonably priced and the service was very good. A wonderful afternoon.

Excellent lunch was served today for a group of friends. Brilliant service by lovely and friendly staff. Will certainly be visiting again.

Lovely food, great service. All on time and relaxed. Just above the brilliant Pelaw Inn 👍👍👍👍 Top marks Well worth a visit.

Great quality, superb location and views . Sensible prices which is amazing for a food and drinks outlet in Padstow. Went in for a coffee , then saw the great food and decided to stay for lunch. Friendly happy staff.

We went for a friend’s 40th the staff were fantastic made sure we had everything we needed and the food was out of this world will definitely be back

Lovely roast dinner, with decent portions. In particular, the stuffing with the roast pork was divine and the cheesecake was a new entry in my top 3 of all-time. Really lovely, friendly service too

Had breakfast in here at the weekend and it was fantastic,all freshly cooked with great coffee and great service,will definitely visit again when down there next

First time ordering takeaway from Olive today and OMG the food is so delicious and I'm just sorry we haven't done this sooner. We ordered Butter Chicken Tikka, Lamb Rogan Josh, Mushroom and Spring Onion Rice, Onion Bhaji (you get 3), Garlic & Olive Oil Naan and a Fruit and Coconut Peshwari Naan. Definitely a bit pricier than other takeaways however the ingredients are all fresh, definitely NO radioactive looking sauces or tough meat here - it's all incredibly tasty, high quality food. The curry portions are really large for just one person although my hubby and I both have very hearty appetites so we did just about finish it all (though we were absolutely stuffed!). They were both very mild curries where normally we might have expected them to have a little bit of a kick, but honestly we didn't mind because everything was so completely and utterly delicious! Can't wait to order again soon! (wish I'd taken a photo but we were so hungry we just devoured right away)

What a lovely place! Staff could not do enough for my friend and I. We had afternoon tea, all home made and just delicious! Lovely selection of drinks, freshly made food. Cutest China! Will definitely return! Thank you 😊

As so many reviews testify ‘Shoal’ has to be the best fish and chip restaurant we have ever experienced. Nicely designed, clean and comfortable restaurant setting or takeaway the choice is yours. In the restaurant all the staff are friendly, chatty in a good way and helpful - after we had finished we were asked “Do you want the bill or to chill?” which is an absolute first: in so many places the bill would have appeared as a means to get us out of the door and free up the table. Food? Perfectly cooked haddock in light batter, ‘proper’ chips, minted peas and good tartare sauce. We weren’t drinking but short wine list is good by the bottle or reasonably priced glass. There are no shortage of places to eat in Winchester and ‘Shoal’ is deservedly one of the best.

I was there fir lunch today & it was gorgeous, very tasty, it isn't my first visit by any means & I have never had a bad meal, the portions are huge, the bar staff are friendly & the service is good, but the chef deserves a big pat on the back his food is delicious
