The best restaurants in England

Fantastic! I’m a regular visitor to this shop and I’ve never bought anything that hasn’t been perfect. From the “Cumberland curl”, a variety of marinated chicken breasts, lamb joints, bacon (including treacle and breakfast), a variety of different pies, “chilli growlers”, marinated lamb shanks and so the list goes on. Absolutely first class. I’ve been nudged into writing this review after my husband tried their new spicy lamb pie. He said it was “excellent” with “great spices”. All this with such friendly, professional, informative service. All I can say is if you’re in Windermere don’t miss a visit.

We were staying the night in the village and rang ahead to check they would be doing food as we didn't want to get stranded without anything for dinner. They were helpful on the phone and friendly in person. We got pizza to takeaway and a very quick drink whilst we were waiting. The pizza was very good indeed and if we hadn't been knackered we'd happily have had a longer visit.

Lovely little village cafe. Delicious cakes. On street parking nearby (and do drop into the Centre Peace bookshop nearby)

Lovely milkshake and coffee perfect from one fussy coffee drinker. Lovely staff always friendly and asking if you need help. 5 out of 5 stars.

On my fourth time eating here, I am still always amazed by the rich quality of the food and the generosity of the service in this place. I've been craving this Venezuelan touch since my last visit, so I dropped in for lunch by myself and ordered an arepa Sifrina and some empanadas queso. I was welcomed by a lovely lady who encouraged me to try and order in Spanish. It felt very encouraging, like I was being invited to appreciate these delicacies and that I should try to order as a Venezuelan if I can (I can't, my Spanish is terrible, but I'm glad I tried). The arepa I ordered was perfect, always, cooked to perfection, with a delicious fresh taste in each bite. The empanadas were filled with a molten white cheese, complemented by a refreshing salsa quesocaca (coriander & avocado dip). Combining the crunchy and chewy texture of the empanada with the lush flavours of the salsa, it is a match made in heaven. It was the perfect amount of food and I left wholly satisfied.

Llamé esta mañana ya que nos habíamos perdido el desayuno y teníamos hambre. El servicio fue excelente todas las chicas eran muy agradables y fr . La comida era perfecta y caliente. Incluso nos llevamos un bollo a casa con nosotros. Sin duda lo recomendaría

All round pleasurable experience today. Sunday lunch was excellent. Fresh, hot, plentiful food with thoughtful little added extras. Served by friendly, efficient volunteers. We will be back!

So lucky to have these chaps nearby so that we can get some decent sushi. Have recommended to lots of people. Like the previous reviewer, we have also done a sushi making class with them but a couple of years ago now. We went with a couple of friends and had a very jolly evening, drinking prosecco and making/ eating sushi. I think we might have to do it again soon actuality.

Delicious pizza and friendly service - an absolute gem … fresh and with taste … will be a regular when in the area … give this place your business people … although eat it fresh and on site to get the full taste

This restaurant was popular, but,being quite small, has CLOSED at this spot, but HAS MOVED to FORE STREET about 300 yards to the East, near the East Okement River, and its name has changed to " The Allotment ", as it uses food all supplied locally. I highly recommend it for a smiley welcome & good wholesome food. Now sells jams & preserves.

Looking to join a local tennis club so hired a court for an hour one afternoon on a sunday as a guest for my son and I to try it out. Sadly not a good experience. Booking over the phone and initial reception good but on the court we were next to a group of 4 mature men playing a doubles game. My son and I have played for a number of years and are relatively competent players however any time our ball went wide and across their court we were given some pretty nasty looks (despite the fact that we had to return a number of their balls over the hour). I gave my son some tips and a bit of instruction and heard a number tuts and huffs directed our way when I did despite the fact that we heard some pretty colourful language from their court for which we received no apology given that my son is only 9 years old. To be honest it was a very uncomfortable hour and although my son and I did our best to enjoy our game we were made to feel extremely unwelcome by the four men on the other court, who it appeared to me were mature members who didn't like children playing, despite the fact that it is advertised as a family friendly club. When we left the court at the end of our game two of the men looked at us, shook their head and tutted again - I couldn't believe it.As we left the club I decided to mention their behaviour to the young girl on receptio, particularly because my son commented on the men's language, plus I thought she might be as surprised and disappointed as we were. Instead her response suggested it was endemic - she said their attitude and language was because they were playing a game. I suggested that surely the club frowns on that behaviour and she said nothing. I asked if she could feed this back to the management as it has certainly put us off considering joining and she pretty much said and did nothing. So sadly this is not the club for us which is a real shame because on the surface it looks fab, but I think they have some work to do on making it family friendly.

Estábamos celebrando el Año Nuevo Chino. He estado aquí tantas veces celebrando cumpleaños, aniversarios y almuerzos y cenas con amigos y familiares. Cada comida ha sido un éxito. La bienvenida que recibes es maravillosa; Lisa es una anfitriona acogedora y sonriente y el personal es muy servicial e ir más allá de la milla extra para hacer su viaje muy inolvidable. Ahora vamos al menú. La comida es fresca y bien cocinada y muy sabrosa. He probado la mayoría de los platos y honestamente no puedo decir cuál es el mejor. Así que diré que todos son encantadores. Pero la mejor comida es el menú chino de 5 estrellas con 5 entrantes, 5 principales y 2 postres todo por £ 88. 88 para 4 personas. Había mucha comida, cantidades enormes y el sabor era celestial. No venden alcohol, sino tés, cafés y bebidas frías. Mi favorito es el calamansi; una fusión de bebida caliente o fría con limas en miniatura, ciruelas secas con un toque de sal. Estoy en el cielo con esta gran bebida. Mi hija que viene de Nottingham todos los viernes siempre tiene uno en el restaurante y toma uno para su viaje de regreso a Nottingham. El lugar está lleno de bonitas piezas de Malasia y Tailandia. Preciosos manteles, vajilla y otros equipos que es hermoso. Ahora el cocinero Pann. Es muy interesante hablar con ella. Aunque una cocinera muy ocupada que se apresura a salir de sus pies, siempre se toma el tiempo de venir a saludar y hablar de diferentes países y lugares en los que ha trabajado. Si yo y todas las personas que han comido allí votaran por este restaurante, le daríamos a Lisa & Pann un 3 estrellas Michelin por la amabilidad, la comida y todo lo demás. He ido a varios restaurantes Mich* pero esto les pega las manos. Sigue así Lisa y Pann y buena suerte en el futuro.

Friendly and welcoming cafe, delicious food. I work from home and needed a change of scenery whilst working, this cafe was a perfect location.

We booked a table for a Sunday Carvery and we highly recommend. Great food and great service. Reasonable price too. A lovely treat. We will definately be returning

A “wow” experience. Most certainly the best restaurant in Brighton and well beyond. Exquisite food, beautifully presented, top service, class surroundings; Amarillo deserves a Michelin star!!
