The best restaurants in England

Used to enjoy coming here. Not sure when it changed, but my experience today was poor. Ordered winter vegetable soup and bread and butter. A ‘glass’ of water. The wait was acceptable. Although the cafe had few visitors I had to collect my own soup when the staff member said it was ready. The water came in a paper cup. The soup was green and had a bit of a bitter taste like leftover sprouts. It was served in a cardboard tub. It was nicely hot. The slice of granary bread was fresh and the small packet of butter Netherend Farm straight from the fridge hard. The cutlery was wooden or bamboo. The plate paper. The spoon was almost flat and so not suitable for eating soup with. I used the cardboard tub as a cup and drank some soup, but it wasn’t good and I couldn’t finish it. There is a note on the table that you should clear your own utensils. I took them to the table where my leftover soup had to be poured into a small bucket with lid. This mixed with my leftover water. Then I popped the other items into the 2 relevant bins. I understand that it’s trying be ’eco friendly’ and business is hard, but it wasn’t for me at all. If I go out for lunch it needs to be a good experience. Sadly this wasn’t and I wouldn’t return.

Was in Saturday and Sunday, staff are really lovely and it has a good atmosphere

Highly recommend, great fresh pizza cooked in front of you and ready in 5 minutes. Great selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Atmosphere was great with the back drop of music, whilst we played games and enjoyed the food. Darts as well was a bonus

Good food, nice varied drinks, good service and a good welcoming atmosphere. Why not visit?

This is one of the nicest chippy around know big fancy meals just good old English food when you step inside its like being transported back in time if you want a great tasting meal go there

Great Public Inn,great drinks,great prices & a friendly atmosphere,fantastic staff. Also very clean! - toilets are fab too.

Lovely beach hut cafe with outdoor seating in a terrific location. Lovely large mug of tea in ceramic cup-,,-no flimsy paper cups and a limited choice of brownies or flapjack -both delicious. It's just off the coastal path and is well signposted

Had a lovely anniversary meal here. Staff were very friendly and attentive and the service was immaculate. Food was amazing and was a lovely ambiance in the restaurant, highly recommend!

This was our first time ordering from Yangtze. We heard really good things about this place, so we decided to check it out. I have to say, the food was incredibly disappointing. The ratio of meat to onions and peppers in all dishes was absurdly appalling. As a person who loves authentic Chinese food, this did not need even meet the basic standards. It was awful. I won’t be ordering from here again. The flavours were bland, and when ordering a meat dish, the dish was at least 80% onions and peppers. However, I did appreciate the complementary prawn crackers. Sadly, just that isn’t going to be enough to entice me back into this establishment.

Our order was processed and delivered very quickly, however, the food we received was far from the excellent standard of food ordered from here previously. The fish was quite oily today, and the chips were of the taste and look of chips leftover from lunchtime. The fried chicken was really not nice today, the meat was very dark, and there were lots of tiny bones, which made it rather unpleasant. Probably won't be ordering from here for a while now.

Really this is exactly what you want from a craft beer pub : ace beer selection (especially for IPA fans like me), friendly service, comfy seats, and crucially, Scampi Fries. As if that weren't enough, make sure you try Tom's Smashed Burgers if you want a sample of what anyone worth a damn is talking about. The jalapeño burger is my favourite.

Tasty sandwiches and friendly staff. A visit my husband and I try and do on a regular basis. Highly recommended, wouldn’t go anywhere else! 😊

Excellent coffee, great range of food and drink, lovely owner. Thank you so much for having me today guys, only place helped me survive waiting for my coach back ☕️☕️ 🙏🙏 cheers

Nice coffee, friendly staff, nice cakes - some Middle Eastern/Turkish. Very resonable prices for coffee.

Great British pub. Lovely Staff.
