The best restaurants in England

Very poor quality of food and level of service for the price.

Pleasant small Timothy Taylor's pub, our go to pub when we're visiting the Worth Valley steam train. Excellent beer, pleasant staff, a visit recommended.

Love this place, great atmosphere and a proper pub

Our initial waitress Ellie was fantastic, couldn’t have asked for more, really friendly service, kind, and she gave our dog a lovely fuss too. She’s a credit to your restaurant. The woman however with the brown hair and black and white jumper - who I think may have been the manager (we were advised her name is Amy) was vile. Came over to our table and gave us the most disgusted down her nose look ever and said “excuse me do not let your dog eat at the dinner table”, pulled a face at us and made another snide comment half under her breath, then said “it needs to be on the floor”. Our dog was sat on my sisters knee with a chew that we purchased from the venue, he wasn't chewing it on the table, and he was hardly sat eating with a knife and fork off a plate the way she made out. If dogs disgust you that much, just don’t have a dog “friendly” restaurant? She then walked over to the waitress station and pointed at our table while talking to them - clearly about us, at which the other two waitresses proceeded to stare over at us. Talk about making feel unwelcome - do you realise how incredibly uncomfortable that interaction made us feel? If the request had been made in a friendly manner without pulling faces at us and speaking to us like we were something off the bottom of your shoe, we really wouldn’t have minded at all. I fully appreciate that is your policy, not all your visitors will be dog fans, and obviously you have hygiene standards to maintain - but all you had to do was advise - not pull faces and sneer at us. Instead if we hadn’t already placed a large order for our food (and thought it would be unfair on the kitchen who hadn’t done anything wrong) we would just have walked out there and then. It completely tainted our Easter break away, and to be honest I wish we had never chosen to eat there in the first place. The food was okay, the scotch egg starter was undercooked (pictured) and the pork belly starter was literally swimming in oil (again pictured - removed the meat to show the extent of the oil). These issues however wouldn’t have even been raised by us if we didn’t experience such an awful interaction, so you can thank your lovely manager for that. We weren’t asked once if everything was okay, and our mains were brought out with no cutlery, and without the starters being cleared. Again, not something that would usually warrant a negative tripadvisor review, however on this occasion this was because not a single person bothered with us after the rude interaction with your manager. Again, talk about being made to feel welcome. Pre empting the question why didn’t we raise it at the time, we attempted to with the waitress who was taking our payment (not someone we had interacted with before) but she flounced off rolling her eyes and didn’t return. Professional! I also note a reply to one reviewer where you state that reviews are utilised to damage businesses - I think some of your employees are managing that all by themselves. Reading the extremely immature, passive aggressive, and incoherent responses to other reviews, I’m not expecting a constructive response. The restaurant seems to see itself as a victim of every single negative review, and likes to point out that it has hundreds of other customers. Well when you are the only restaurant in the whole area, people don’t really have a choice… I’d advise others to have a look at what’s on offer in the surrounding villages and where possible take the extra five or ten minutes to travel, you’ll likely have a more welcoming experience.

Nice place offers decent food and drinks to locals and visitors to local campsites. Only scored 4 for food as we only had a bowl of chips, so can't really comment on the food overall. Cheerful family team running the place. Good atmosphere. Allows dogs and do various themed nights. Shows sports too.

Just had an amazing lunch at smoke + ash. The menu is so good and the staff are lovely. 100% best pizza in Brum! Will defo be going back :)

Perfect if you need a night close to the airport. Nice room, easy and smooth check-in, comfortable bed and walking distance from the airport. Would stay again.

Thank you so much to Neil and his staff for giving me and my party, the best time one could have wished for. My guests , not all local, commented on the quality of the meal, tappaniaki so expertly cook. Everything came together, once again thank you for making my 80 th birthday unforgettable.

New Years Eve.... Simply the best restaurant in Keynsham! Great food, great service and a brilliant atmosphere. Can not recommend this place more highly!

The venue was great unfortunately the ladies toilet let it down, nice place to drink with good selection of beers

Cosy atmosphere, lovely and friendly staff, was well worth the 20 min walk from the excel centre.

The food was ok for the first time ever, not very tasty but ok, I knew this so I backed it up with a very garlicy side. Portions were ok too, previously they'd been small portions. Out of 8 of us, 6 had coke, we all agreed it was flat and despite the fact it had ice in it, it wasn't any kind of cold. When ordering I asked if the coke came from a bottle, (It's not my first rodeo here, and not my choice of location for the outing). He said yes, o I asked if he could open a fresh bottle. He either clearly didn't, or the bottles were cheap out of date ones. When we ALL mentioned it, all we got was "Oh, it shouldn't be flat" when you could clearly see no bubbles in any drink. This might not seem a big deal, but for one glass of coke each for 6 people, it's nearly £30!!!! An absolute waste of money, almost on par with the non existent Customer Service. As a chilli head, I ordered a Vindaloo and got a very disappointing dish that wasn't even Madras hot, and once again, this fell of deaf ears.

Food was fine and the cakes are tasty but the service really lets the place down- unfriendly and unwelcoming- the owner does not like babies and definitely not prams! She complained about me using my pram and told me not to change my baby on the bathroom as it’s not baby friendly but offered no other space to change them. Made me feel uncomfortable and sadly won’t be going back or recommending others. Maybe you would have a different experience without a child.
