The best restaurants in England

Had a delicious meal here starters and mains, the young lad that served us was fantastic as were most of the cheerful and friendly staff and the food portions were generous. We were looking forward to returning, However it was 'suggested' Infront of the entire pub as we were leaving by the larger lady with dark hair that we hadn't paid the bill. We had been laughing with staff and were nothing but polite so can only assume she thought we were stealing due to a race issue as none of the old white people that dined there were treated in the same way. Now regret leaving a generous tip.

Hands down, the best thai I have ever had. The owner Seb has really cultivated an amazing experience, full of authentic flavors, a cozy atmosphere, and the kindest staff. It was a first time for me and my family and we all left with full bellies and a sense of comfort that I'm not sure we would have found anywhere else in Brighton. Thank you chille for an amazing meal and experience! We will all most certainly be back! :)

Everything was amazing, especially the swordfish! ❤️‍🔥

If you're in Luton and looking for healthy, nutritious, and absolutely delicious food, this restaurant is a must! It serves the best Palestinian cuisine I’ve ever had (and I was married to a Palestinian, so I know). The chicken liver is a standout dish, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The entire menu is great, with a lot of variety. You can tell it's made with care and love. In traditional Arab style, the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. This place truly sets the standard for authentic and wholesome dining in Luton.

Went for a birthday lunch with 8 people. Everyone really enjoyed their pizzas and pastas, and service was great. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new local Italian restaurant.

Booked a table for 4 adults on our first visit after refurbishment. Very impressive decor and prompt service at the table. In terms of the menu the seafood risotto was lacking a little taste and there was no risotto for vegetarians. The big disappointment was the fillet steak which was average and for £34 it was very disappointing and overpriced. Overall a good experience let down by certain aspects in the menu and the steak.

lovely food been in there a few times, staff are usually very nice.

What a good experience! Eight of us in a group. Food was very good quality indeed. Staff were friendly and attentive. Good choice of dishes and wines, clean, fresh pleasant decor - including clean loos! Everything was good except for a dely between starters and main but the restaurant was very full, just pre-Christmas. I have been told by regulars that this was unusual. A very enjoyable evening.

Food was lovely, had steak and was cooked well and the garlic butter was lovely, service maybe a little slow but it was fairly busy.

An excellent place to dine - great food, tasty authentic Japanese food, great friendly staff .... overall very happy. Must visit for anyone wishing to eat Japanese. Sushi lovers was brilliant - I managed to eat it nearly alone. The Bento boxes were great.

Visited near Christmas in an afternoon for lunch. The food was really nice - and a little bit more unusual for what you'd normally expect from a 'tourist attraction' type place! The staff were friendly and helpful with assisting with a gluten intolerance that one of our party has. Would definitely recommend for if you are visiting Chester Zoo!

We were there for Christmas Day at 12. Lovely atmosphere and staff. Unfortunately we didn’t get our main meal until 2pm. The turkey was beautifully cooked and there was plenty. I feel there should have been more veg. We had 2 carrots a lot of cauliflower cheese which was great a little cabbage and a few sprouts which were like bullets.You couldn’t put your fork in them. The soup and Christmas pud was lovely but I was disappointed with the main meal and the time we had to wait between each course.

*****2024***** We went after a couple of visits and over a long period of years again and found out that The Cleave has had new owners quite recently. As one has to remember that food rating can be a very personal matter, we must say that this lunch (29th of Dec.) was absolutely exceptional and worth coming back. We have had a Sunday Roast with Pork and a beautiful Gamekeepers-Pie. The gravy was absolutely brilliant. Always remember to order an extra boat of gravy!! Service very very good and friendly with a warm welcome. So good, we asked to put us down for two more pre-booked visits. Can't wait. Go and have your experience, you won't regret it. Thanks to the Team and all the best for the new Year and new business. ***** 2019 ****** today I must write this review about my experience of my dish on Boxing Day 2019. I did order a Steak and Suet Pie. ..... THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY ....... what perfect and hearty dish, very very meaty at all. The chef did not sparse out on steak meat ( as you can sometimes normally encounter) I did wonder I could manage it at all. The veggies were perfectly prepared and all in all I loved it very very much. So ----- if you are around on Dartmoor go and visit LUSTLEIGH´s "THE CLEAVE". I hope they keep it for a good long time on the menu.

Wonderful little theater with great entertainment options flowing through. Bar and ticket staff were friendly. They have pizza available while you wait for the show to start. The theater is intimate and laid out well, maybe too well. You are so close to the stage, it almost feels like you shouldn’t be watching. Like some kind of voyeuristic fever dream.

I have no words but praise for Brigits Bakery. Last Sunday me and my family went on the Peppa Pig afternoon tea bus, and it was very well organised. The food was amazing, drinks all the time, Matt was really good and integrated alot with children. Me and my husband had fun as much as my daughter. Worth every money..
