The best restaurants in England

I stayed two nights. Its owner, Jean, with an unstable character and dishonest personality, made our stay a real suffering. He was unhelpful (he didn't want to give us information about means of transportation), bad disposition as a host (she didn't want to acclimatize the room), he is a person who lacks the truth in his opinions. Not recommended. Save yourself problems. I will not come back .

Excellent meal and service. Cooked just like we liked it. Sausages were delicious and will return soon

What a jewel in Haslemere’s office culture crown. This lovely place is a find. Comfy chairs, a great array of home made cakes - we popped out for a cake and coffee and were were not disappointed. It’s got a friendly vibe and the menus look enticing for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Good strong coffee, excellent home made cakes, service with a smile! We were made to feel welcome, and took another cake home with us.

Gran comida, buen ambiente, personal amable, fallas nowt, gran pollo frito si estás atrapado en qué pedir, siempre un ganador

Found this place by chance and were glad we did. It’s a little gem. We had the cold take out to heat up later as we were staying in our caravan. We only had two main courses, and both were really tasty and full of flavour. I had ordered the lamb kebabs, but they cook them fresh so decided to not have those this time. I wish we had ordered them cooked anyway, as even having them cold later I’m sure they would have been nice. Will definitely go again to try out the other choices. Simply, it was just good food done well.

Our 2nd visit. Took 2 friends who have more tapas experience than us. They were very impressed with the range and quality available. We think it is excellent.

I am so glad that we found this hidden gem! I have been a celiac for nearly 20 years and do struggle to find dessert places ... I had a gluten free waffle which was absolutely incredible! And the ice cream flavours are just out of this world - and the fact that they home make them makes them so unique! The staff were absolutely so knowledgeable and super aware of cross contamination - they are super friendly too! Thank you for an awesome experience!

We visited today for my Grandsons birthday with family and friends. Emma the waitress was very helpful, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Food was excellent and clear plates all round.

We went here for afternoon tea and enjoyed our time. The interior of the Chinoiserie was impressive and gave a fine impression to start the experience, which was also influenced by their philosophy on food and nature. This was kindly explained by the nice lady who attentively served us throughout our time there, Sabeera. Sabeera made us feel comfortable, patiently providing us the explanation for each food served and checked if we were enjoying the meal. The food and tea did not disappoint, and we were happy to try different types of teas. Definitely a memorable experience.

Popped into Saddlers to see what they had for a takeaway picnic lunch to accompany a long Pennine walk. Absolutely amazing choice of savoury mini-quiches, other savouries and cakes. Ended up with the Mediterranean vegetable quiche, the savoury Chelsea bun and a slice of Bakewell Tart. The quiche was delicious - lovely light pastry and packed full of vegetables. The savoury Chelsea bun was uniquely delicious - garlicky, buttery, cheesy and covered with a sprinkling of seeds. You must try this! I saved the Bakewell for later - and it was the best Bakewell I've ever had. Pastry just right - light, crumbly and gorgeous, with just the right proportions of jam and almond. The owners were lovely, there's a great atmosphere in the quirky and stylish interior, and when I'm next in Alston I'll be trying one of the breakfasts, which all looked delicious. You won't be disappointed.

My wife and I chose the Cod special and the Lamb special. Both were filled with flavour and beautifully presented. The service was very friendly and efficient. We will be returning.

10 Tib Lane has been on my list for some time, due to the great reviews. It didn’t disappoint. Food was superb - intriguing, inspired dishes, all a bit different, really flavoursome. It’s a sharing plate concept, mainly small plates, alongside a half handful of larger ones. The menu for both food and drink is concise, the wine list, not run of the mill. Service was personal and really friendly. The restaurant is set across 2 floors (plus what looked like a private dining room on the 3rd floor). It's cosy, intimate, lowly lit and retro. Loved it.

Super tasty blackened monkfish 😋 and bangin’ scallops

We came as a family of 4 adults and 2 children. The service was excellent and the food was really good. The eldest child demolished his spaghetti bolognaise which I didn't expect as it looked like an adults portion. Two of us had lasagne which I have to say was the best I have had. The others were also complementary about their risottos. In fact it was so good we went there again and i had the aforementioned duck in orange sauce. The other dishes didn't disappoint.
