The best restaurants in England

It's about time I left a fitting review for this amazing café that I am so fortunate to have only ten minutes' walk down the road. It's a rare genuine example of a community café, putting people before profit. Yes the menu is vegetarian and small, but the food is all so delicious you won't care. The vegan sausage rolls are particularly impressive, within the realms of "I can't believe it's not meat", for sure! Between the eclectic decor, the impeccable customer service and the regular community events it hosts, Cuppa deserves not only five stars but its reputation as the best café in Felixstowe.

Beautiful food, great service and a very cosy atmosphere. I think this is one of the best Italian restaurants in the area and would highly recommend to anyone!

We heard from an assistant in a shop in Kendal that, in her opinion, Kimi's Gelato was the best Gelato ever! According to her, it was regularly frequented by her and all her friends, so we had to find out for ourselves. After a couple of failed attempts, we finally made it to the shop. It's a spacious shop with what appears to be a relatively small display cabinet, so it crossed our minds that perhaps this wouldn't be the experience we had been promised. I absolutely did not mind being wrong on this occasion, as we were in for a treat. The first thing of note is that the incredible colours are a real feast for the eyes and then you have to face the impossible task of choosing one or more of the amazing flavours. Mel, who served us and who was delightful, was really accommodating in allowing us to test any of the flavours. I think I would have tried every one given half the chance. I chose the Strawberry and white chocolate and also the Rocher. There were surprises in every lick. Pieces of strawberry then chunks of white choc. The Rocher is a Ferrero lover's dream. Decadent and certainly not lacking in flavour and texture. We think Jon who creates these Gelatos is a genius! We are dreaming of our next visit.

Very very BEAUTIFUL! Such a wonderful place and exceptional scenery! Would definitely be visiting this again!!

What a discovery. Quite an unassuming little place but once inside, you’re glad you stopped by. Attentive, polite, enthusiastic staff, great food and drinks, and a friendly intimate atmosphere make this well worth a visit. There is free one hour parking just outside, so an added bonus. We’ll be back for sure. Thanks

Travelling across from Lancashire into Yorkshire we took the very scenic route and on a lovely October afternoon we eventually arrived at Betty’s Vintage Hut where we were warmly greeted by Ann the proprietress. After letting our two black Flat Coated Retrievers have a quick leg stretch, we were soon seated in the vintage hut and the cake stands were piled high with delicious looking goodies and plates of sandwiches. Tea and hot water came in huge pots and I don’t know why it tastes better from china cups, but it does! Everything we ate was delicious, fresh and home made. Ann was very thoughtful and caring with just the right amount of attentiveness. We had the company of a group of four delightful ladies which added to our enjoyment and easy conversation flowed between us and Ann, making the whole experience one we will fondly remember. We all came away with boxes of the surplus food we hadn’t managed to consume and memories of a lovely afternoon. Very well done Ann.

Was really looking forward to visiting this place last Saturday when a friend was coming from out of town to have a coffee. She found it. I was surprised a is never seen it in the Harlequin (Intu/Atria)...I got there early.. and set off to find café. I never did.. it didn't seem to exist... unless there is an alternative reality forcefield... it doesn't seem to be there... can anyone explain...?

Atmosphere good. Staff friendly. Food absolutely delicious. Can recommend the mushroom melt. Was absolutely amazing.

Just visited this restaurant for the first time with two friends. The service was fantastic, and the staff made a lovely fuss of my friend as it was her birthday. The food was good and we had a complimentary slice of banana cake which was delicious. We’ll definitely be back :-)

First time visit to what must be the best kept secret in Lincoln. Went with wife for breakfast. Not easy to find but well worth the effort. Quirky decor, friendly staff and good quality ingredients perfectly cooked. Will be returning to sample the rest of the menu.

We were guests at a celebration which took place at this very welcoming cafe. It's a superb venue and the staff went completely above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The main bar is airy and spacious, the side bar provides a more secluded space and downstairs there is another wonderful spacious area with a cozy fire and a home from home feel. Fidelio has clear musical / opera connections, but you don't need to be a musician to enjoy the space, excellent service and high quality food and drinks.

Despite its rather unassuming exterior this small restaurant (now known as Thai Mere) comprising two ground floor dining rooms surpassed expectations. Having seen recent favourable reviews on TripAdvisor my intention was to stop for an early Saturday dinner. However, returning from Oswestry much earlier than planned with my wife and daughter we arrived at 1.20 p.m. Greeted upon entering we waited a couple of minutes during a service and were then shown to a table in the first section where nearby two couples were seated. Our drinks of Singha beer and tonic waters promptly arrived and we were then able to concentrate our minds on the serious task of menu selection. The first course of Poa Taek (mixed seafood soup including prawns, mussels and squid) and Prawn Tempura (tiger prawns in batter) followed. It was immediately evident from the presentation that the authentic cooking was on another scale when compared to many similar establishments. Visually appealing, well seasoned, succulent seafood, with good size portions was just the start. For mains we chose Nuea Pad Gatiem (stir-fried beef with garlic ), Pad Thai Chicken, Gai Pad Bai Gaprao (stir fried chicken with chilli and beans), Larb Mooh (minced pork), and Egg Fried Rice. After this feast only one diner succumbed to a dessert of Banana Bai and Ice cream. A consensus of opinion scored top marks for a very enjoyable lunch. Mention should also be made of the excellent service, high level of cleanliness (including washroom facilities), the comfortable seating, as well as the atmospheric Thai setting. Based on our first experience this little gem deserves to succeed.

The Grape Variety at Chipstead is a hidden gem… wine shop by day, wine bar by night. Adrian and his team do a superb job and we always love going. Great wines, lovely service and ambience and some lovely food options e.g. chorizo and fries, baked Camembert, charcuterie boards etc. We highly recommend and it makes a nice change from the pub for something a bit different.
