The best restaurants in England

Went in for a midweek dinner, greeted immediately by friendly staff. Food was delicious, owner clearly cares about providing a good experience as he told us about where he found particular items on the menu and why he added them. Interesting decor (not sure about the animal heads on the walls) but didn't detract from the experience. Will be going again.

chicken teriyaki rice bowl and coffee were amazing and a really friendly and welcoming place — definitely recommend :-)

Friendly service, tasty, quality fish and chips. Best curry sauce in Sussex!

Today I ordered drinks and some food for lunch at the bar. I was given the drinks at the bar, my food later was brought to my table. I later went to the bar to pay. Only later when I checked my receipt did I notice I was charged a discretionary 10% service charge on my bill. I was not informed of this at the time and was given my receipt after I paid. This is downright underhand, I should have been informed before payment. When I order drinks and food from the bar and pay for it at the bar there is no need to impose a service charge, that is literally their job. Beware if you go there. Personally I won't be returning.

I'm sorry to say, that after reading great reviews and having high expectations of what to expect....the experience was a huge disappointment. 6 of us booked in for Sunday dinner at 2pm,which started well,to be honest....as we were given a choice of the main room or a table set up for 6,in a separate room. We opted for the separate room and took our seats accordingly. After awhile a man came through to take our drinks order and I went 1st....."a o% Guinness please" sorry we don't have that "but I do at my other pub" OK then "could I have an elderflower please" ...."sorry we don't have that" again was the reply OK...."could I have a lime & soda please"....."sorry can't do that due to the trigger on the mixer not working" was the reply. OK...."could I have a lager shandy please"....."sorry can't do that either came the now familiar reply! By this time,it was getting embarrassing in front of the other's waiting to order their drinks and exacerbated,on the point of dehydration....I ordered a tap water.....which along with a gin & flat tonic didn't have ice in. Then.....dinner arrived. I had ordered the 3 meat roast,pork,beef & chicken (£23.50) and my expectations were high....well sadly it wasn't to be. The 3 meat roast consisted of a slice of pork,a slice of beef and a chicken leg plonked on the top...how bizarre! The meal itself was only warm and not piping hot as I would have expected.....after the drinks fiasco,I didn't feel able to complain without drawing attention myself in front of the other members of our party at the table. Finally....the bill came and as well as charging us for £2 for a lime & soda which I couldn't have, an £18 plus service charge had been added to the bill. That was the final insult.....£18 service charge for what exactly?? No drinks of choice and a luke warm meal. I wanted to dispute the service charge but again....I didn't want to draw attention to myself and possibly put my other party members in an embarrassing situation. I would like it refunded to be honest, as another issue I encountered while there....no soap in the soap dispenser despite visiting the toilet at the start of our meal and then again an hour or so later after the meal. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't eat there again or recommend to others to do so either......maybe it was "just a bad day at the office" for the pub on the day of our visit,but then the service shouldn't have been added automatically,if all of the above had been taken in to consideration.

Everything that’s made here is fresh. The pies and everything are all home made. It takes me back to living with my Nan. The food is first rate every time I order from here.

The pizza dough is amazing but the filling is scarce. The service is not bad but if you want to sit for a while -- it's not here, here they will come and give you a hint: Are you done eating? Get out, please.

The loveliest staff I've ever experienced. Situated on a lovely country road this is what I would consider a quintessential English pub. The food was better than great and I can only say that the staff went above and beyond. Highly recommend this pub if you are in Herefordshire. Miss it and you miss out !!

Came here with 3 kids before the Albany Theatre. Really great food. Seafood linguine was well cooked and the sauce nicely spiced. Beef short rib was excellent too. Kids loved the brownies!

Fantastic food & great friendly staff Sunday lunch is excellent give it a try you will not be disappointed, hidden lil gem,

The food here really is superb. Ate from the brunch menu, dog friendly area of the restaurant can’t go wrong, hard to beat.

Hoya's food is always lovely and would highly recommend

The best fish and chips I've ever eaten and a great atmosphere !

Go at least 3 times a week. Absolutely love the coffee. Our favourite place to sit and watch the world go by. Staff are lovely and the chocolates and cake amazing.

A lovely little cafe but definitely not for the coffee lovers. Lady serving was very friendly but just had no idea what a flat was. I got a hot frothy drink weak and tasteless , won’t be returning.
