The best restaurants in England

This was a real gem of a find. Four of us went there for breakfast. We all opted for x items for £x. Big thick slices of proper bread, no plastic stuff here. Beautifully cooked and will definitely go back there again. Staff very pleasant. Sat in the court yard on a lovely sunny morning.

We came in for a random snack. Wow! I like pasties! And this was the best I have ever had.(Large Steak) If I lived here, then I'd go every day! Very reasonably priced too.

What a fabulous place! Excellent host, great food, lovely wine and stunning white port! Highly recommended

Not many places open in Melton at the present (Don't know why). Decent service, very quick, can sit down outside, semi sheltered from the weather. Very good bacon sandwich and nice tea. Price not bad either

we found this lovely place by accident. Wonderful food, totally fresh and clean and home cooked in lovely cosy surroundings. Comfy chairs, sparkling dishes and cutlery, everything was spotless and the people who run it were charming. A lovely place to relax and enjoy lovely food or simply some coffee and maybe a bit of cake. Really a charming place.

If there’s one thing I know from my first-class days, it’s how to spot top-tier service and great food—and the tapas evening at Cap & Feathers in Tillingham did not disappoint. Four of us touched down for a night of food and fun, and we were in for a treat! Every table was packed, and yet the service was smooth, with friendly staff and that fire roaring away, adding the perfect cosy touch. Now, onto the food: prawns, chilli chicken, beef, and a paella that made us want to stay grounded for more. Those dishes were the stars of the night, bursting with flavour and seriously good value. It’s not every day you find a menu that matches the quality you’d expect at 35,000 feet! A special shout-out to Dave, the chef, who came out for a chat, making sure everything hit the spot. It’s those personal touches that make all the difference. And with the music and buzzing atmosphere, it felt like a full-on fiesta—no turbulence here! Honestly, it was an evening where everything came together perfectly—great food, great company, and even better service. I’ll definitely be booking another seat at this culinary flight!

The stall was selling wraps at a great price comparied to neighbouring stall & my chicken wrap was stuffed full & very tasty. The owner kindly allowed us to sit outside his shop in the market.

Can't help who comes through the door as some other idiot seems to think 🤔 My favourite place to go for a cuppa tea and a breakfast or a breakfast bun.

We called past after a walk, looking forward to a refreshing drink. The coffee and the lavender and camomile tea were excellent. The deli also do a range of gluten free cakes - the millionaire's slice and the Bakewell cakes were delicious. (I bought another slice to take away). The staff were friendly and welcoming.

This place is amazing for those that want a great pint of Ale or Cider at £3.50. No fuss. Great for a social meeting that is warped back in time in the Victorian era. Think Peaky Blinders without the gangsters!

It's a deli really, or perhaps a Polski Sklep. But with the Boris Plague rampant, I'll happily drink their coffee. The cafe bit is to the left of the front door, the deli straight on. Order coffee, tea or hot chocolate at the deli counter. Smiley lady, presumably Mrs Wojtek, goes to the cafe bit. I went in for my usual espresso. But the sign said Hot Chocolate and it was a bit blooming chilly outside. It was lovely, and very welcome

This place is a little gem. It’s got everything. Friendly staff, great food and superb views. I highly recommend this boat club restaurant. It’s child friendly. Plenty of room for prams. The toilets have good, clean baby changing facilities and the menu is child friendly too. Plus there are always tasty specials on the board too for everyone to enjoy. Roast dinners on a Sunday here are great. The Sunday carvery is superb with so much veg and meat choice. We have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. If you are looking for a chilled place to while away some time then get out on their sun terrace and stare out to sea. It really is heaven on a sunny day. Mind you don’t tell everyone…..we don’t want the place overrun

A wonderful afternoon tea in beautiful surroundings, lovely traditional tearoom and excellent service . Couldn’t fault it . Can’t wait to return.

Part tearoom / cafe and part museum, this is a really good place to enjoy 20 minutes or so whilst waiting for a tour of the tunnels. Using a real life details of a pre / post war tea rooms ( but with much better food), and almost unheard of refreshments, it is very good to sit and look over the posters and enamel signs from the early 1940's. Great people looking after this little gem.

Recently moved back to the area and have been here 3 times. This place really is superb and deserves every 5 star review it gets. Freshly cooked fish and great chips and cooked while you wait or by phone order. Sets a very high standard, hence the queues and the phone that never stops ringing. We love it - a real treat.
