The best restaurants in England

Found this quaint tearoom a couple of years ago and now we always pop in for lunch when passing through the area. Consists of two lovely rooms to enjoy a good selection of food and beverages. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and in our book is always a plus (as there is nothing more displeasing than staff that don’t want to be working)! If in the area would recommend you take a break here, you will not be disappointed…..

A really enjoyable evening in an eclectic mix of people. Jon and Jo made us feel welcome in their home, delicious food accompanied by delightful singing! We were greeted by cocktails then moved on to a three course meal with additional treats. A donation was made to a very worthy local charity fir homeless people. A misy relaxing way to start the bank holiday weekend. Thank you both very much!

I attended the 'Basic Breads Course' on 13th October facilited by the ultimate bread making wizards, otherwise known as Garry and Matt! I had never previously baked (anything) and my recent retirement invited the opportunity to do something very much out of my comfort zone. It's difficult to adequately summarise a most informative, hugely rewarding and highly enjoyable day, other than to say that because of their knowledge, patience, and infectious passion for artisan bread making ... I left having made three loaves which have awakend my taste buds permanently to what bread can, and should, taste like!! The entire day was pitched to be inclusive of a range of abilities, and the small group (9 in total) allowed for much humour and a mutually supportive vibe that made for a memorable day. The lunch ticked every box and reflected that the cafe, and breads etc. sold by the shop, are on another level. I certainly never anticipated becoming a bread making enthusiast at 65! Simply brilliant.

Called in to the Lay of the land for a coffee with my partner, the menu was decent with plenty of choices and we found it too be good value and the drinks were brill. possibly not ideal for very large groups wanting to sit together as tables were rather spread out.

Lovely experience in this cafe - friendly staff, beautiful views and delicious cake. Well placed at the end of the coastal path too.

What a gem. On the Rebellion Way bike route, we had coffee and cake each day (obvs) and this place provided the best of both during 5 days/ coffee stops in Norfolk. Great service too.

We visited last weekend and the food was amazing as always, never eaten steak as good anywhere ever. Tony who owns the pub also has an amazing butchers in cockermouth. When we visited there we asked him if he had any tables for Saturday night, however they were fully booked that night, however he managed to arrange an early table for us as a massive favour. The food is freshly cooked, not mass produced food like many places, and the staff are all very attentive and welcoming. The pub is only open a few days a week so if you can you need to book well in advance and you will not be disappointed at all. They are very reasonably priced and the quality is off the scale and no other establishment in the area will come close, so thank you very much for amazing food and fabulous service, look forward to coming back soon

Nice quirky place with a good range of coffee, and cake very minamalist in its decor. Staff are great and it attracts a good eclectic mix of people. I had the sausage roll and a cold dring and they were great. All in all a good place for a chilled weekend brew.

Great little place with lovely staff. The toasties were delicious and there was a wide selection along with many other choices for a light lunch.

Called for an early lunch on Wednesday afternoon. It was very busy but luckily managed to get a table. This place is my favourite go to for breakfast or lunch. The guy is a chef… not a cook. The food he turns out… it’s fantastic. More like something you’d get in a fancy London restaurant not a little cafe in Thorne! We ordered quiche , bbq chicken toastie and chicken and leek pie and everything was perfect. All homemade, the chicken in the pie melted in the mouth. Best chips around and my quiche had a really tasty side salad with balsamic glaze. I keep saying I’m going to try a theme night here but haven’t got round to it yet, but it’s definitely something I need to try… the photos look amazing. The waitresses are always really friendly too… very clean establishment…. Best cafe in Yorkshire!!

What a great treat this was after a wet walk back from the beach . Very welcoming , homely , friendly, local find this was . All home made with love & kindness . Wee local chap was great craic as was all the locals who popped in . Turned out owner had her hen doo in my friends local in Kentish Town back in the day !! Keep up the good work ❤️❤️

I had bought a wheel of tete de moine last Christmas, which The Cheese Plate had posted to me. It was great and I wanted another one this Christmas but this time I thought I'd drive up to Buntingford and see what else they have. Fortunately I was able to buy their last wheel of tete de moine, which, surprisingly, was the same price as last year! But they had some lovely other cheeses too - a spread of English, French, Swiss, Italian and Spanish I believe. The highlight was the creamy/gooey gorgonzola but I also bought a small pot of garlic jelly - something I hadn't seen before and an excellent morbier, far better than what's on offer in supermarkets.

Great little tea room had a plate of Scouse wad the best I have tasted in a long time will definitely be coming back

Kate helped us with catering for two dinners for eight people over a weekend on the Isle of Wight. From my initial enquiry, Kate was incredibly helpful with suggestions for well balanced menus using local seasonal produce. Both dinners were dropped off by Kate at our rental house and we were given perfect instructions to heat up the various courses for both evening meals. The detail and care that Kate put into both dinners was exceptional and everything was absolutely delicous. I couldn't recommend Kate and Angel in the Kitchen more highly.
