The best restaurants in England

This place is almost perfect, great clean accommodation, setting. Bats flying within feet whilst enjoying an evening drink by the water. The elderly lady who showed us to the room gave me an up and down look with one raised eyebrow, I presume because I turned up in my work gear. The breakfast was unorganized, no plates or milk. Almost like it was the opening day. All things said it was nearly my favorite.

"Sorry, we've none left" seemed to be the only response to our order to the waiter. The so-called prawn cocktail was bordering on inedible. Watery prawns, bland Marie Rose sauce and served with supermarket brown bread. The pie to follow was highly mediocre at best, served with completely overcooked tasteless watery vegetables. I can't recommend this place and is probably the most disappointing meal I've ever had in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Nice place ,good beer ,what more do you need

It calls itself a gastro pub but hasn't really concentrated on it's restaurant potential. However, it has now teamed up with a Chinese restaurant and offers food 6 days a week. The restaurant closed on Wednesday. Looking forward to trying it out. Good luck to them 👍.

Every time you walk in this place you get greeted with a hello, food at your table within minutes of order, always hot and freshly cooked. Definitely recommend

Very old pub ,highly recommended ,they have a good music system

We came here for my baby shower and had the most delicious Sunday roast. Great vegetarian options and the creme brulee is the stuff of dreams. Already planning to come back here and eat it all again! Thanks Wendy and the team for making it a really special day ☺️

Popped in for Taco night and was very impressed with the food and staff.

The new lady working here is SO friendly and nice. I come back every time now. Thank you!

I recently visited Britannia Fish Bar in Gillingham, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked in, the service was very nice, fast, and professional – exactly what you want from a local fish and chip shop. Let's talk about the food, starting with the essentials. The chips here are genuinely great; perfectly cooked, and everything you hope for in a proper portion of chips. The fish I had was also cooked beautifully, with lovely crispy batter encasing flaky, moist fish. But where Britannia Fish Bar truly excels, in my opinion, is with their sides. Compared to so many other places I've tried, their sides are simply out of this world! The battered mushrooms are a perfect example – these aren't those small, frozen, ready-made breaded things you often get. They are actually big, proper mushrooms cooked in a real, delicious batter. And then there are the wedges. I decided to buy a portion because they just looked really good, and I was absolutely blown away by both their size and their flavour. They weren't like typical dry wedges; they were more like amazingly well seasoned roast potatoes, generously showered with paprika and herbs. I've honestly never had wedges like them – these are definitely the king of wedges! For anyone looking for a fantastic fish and chip experience in Gillingham, I highly recommend Britannia Fish Bar. It's reassuring to know they also have a 5-star food hygiene rating (as of their inspection on 26 March 2024), which just adds to the confidence in their quality. I'll definitely be back!
