The best restaurants in England

It is strongly not recommended for a large group of friends to eat because they need to finish eating and leave immediately. The 13 of us took about an hour from placing our orders (6pm) to checking out (7pm). During this time, we felt very stressed because the waiter quickly collected all the dishes on the counter and they did not provide separate payment services because the credit card company would charge them a transaction fee for each checkout. As a restaurant that charges diners a 10% service charge, we felt there was little service.

Fantastic meal with my wife after a terrible day! Friendly staff, great food, very reasonable prices. Take always are fantastic also. Thanks for making our day better

Nice location, staff where not the friendliest, food was good, service sub par.

Best fish and chips in hoddesdon

Great pub lovely staff, didn't eat, but maybe next time we return to Brighton

If you like rustic food, this is the place for you... Super friendly and personable people... And I highly recommend the veal liver dish... 😊

Lovely wine bar - great selection of small and larger plates. Perfect place for sunsets!

Excellent meal, highly recommended

First time visiting and it was for drag bingo and I’ll definitely be back! The pub is small but it adds to the atmosphere and the drag bingo show was absolutely hilarious!!

Great food and company What a wonderful evening we spent at The Blue Ship on Saturday night. A truly local, warm and welcoming place. I’ve not been there in too long a time however I felt like I’d not left. The fire was lit and Sophie Bailey, Jackie and I chatted together like old friends while Simon Bailey served up the most delicious Brie wedges followed by the best burgers in Sussex. If you are a regular or not, we are so lucky to have such a great, traditional pub on our doorstep and I for one won’t leave it so long till my next visit. #localbusiness #countrypub — feeling welcome at Blue Ship.

We had a lovely dinner of fish and chips and the bass fillet. It was excellent. There was just a tiny twist that made it extra scrumptious. Would come back.

All superb food, atmosphere and service.

That old pub from 16th century with excellent home fermented cider, good food (pulled lamb was excellent even if slow served)

First visit but certainly not the last! Awesome atmosphere, wonderful staff and delicious food.

Great kids eat for £1 lunchtime deal!! Emma was fab and accommodating with our two young children. They loved the cheesy garlic bread and the pizzas were cooked well !
