The best restaurants in England

Had the chicken tacos. Nicely cooked and lots of it. I’ll work my way through their menu.

Upon our arrival at The Bedford, having reserved a table for a Wednesday lunch, we noticed the restaurant was quite empty. The festive ambiance, considering the time of year, was minimal, limited to a lone Christmas tree. Our orders were promptly taken, and the food arrived within an acceptable time frame. While the portion of fish and chips (£15 at the time of writing ) was generous, the cod lacked the expected flakiness, suggesting it might have been frozen and defrosted, resulting in a somewhat flavorless experience. The smoked haddock risotto, described as having a cheese glaze, arrived with normal long-grain/basmati rice submerged under a thick layer of cheese, exhibiting an unpleasant texture and taste. Although the hostess inquired about our meals, she left before we could provide comprehensive feedback. No other patrons arrived during our visit, and, regrettably, we don't plan to return in the near future

Hygiene in this place is non-existent. Staff touch their mouths or hair and money, then touch the food. I watched as 1 woman coughed into her hand then prepared someone’s food. It’s pointless wearing gloves if they touch the money then the food but don’t change the gloves in between. I’ve been a few times over the years, really hoping that it would have changed. It’s recently changed its name but, the hygiene is still the same unfortunately.

We had a 8 course taster menu and to be frank, at +£90 per head, was very poor value. The pub down the road was far superior in food quality….this felt like a case of a chef trying too hard… vanilla sauce with fish…??? No surprise to say that was dreadful, I don’t think I ever want that combination ever again. Im not convinced Mark Greenaway was there in the kitchen, he wouldn’t let the sub par food make it pass to our table. I also genuinely think the restaurant would be 1000 times better if it stuck to honest local food, done well.

Keller Taproom is primarily a pub rather than a restaurant. I visited on a night out with friends after discovering it while heading for another pub. It's tucked away a bit on Broughton Street Lane and so it probably qualifies as being a hidden gem. It would be easy to walk past on Broughton Street and not know it was there. There was a good selection of beer and the service was prompt. I enjoyed my visit and I'd definitely visit again.

We arrived for a quick lunch and we were very surprised about the quality of the food. Nice selection of healthy salad and juices. We loved our juice with a kick of ginger. Super friendly staff. Highly recommended. See you again 👋

What a genuinely fantastic pub. Warm atmosphere, great beer selection and a wonderful team who are always on hand to offer the most welcoming experience.

Siempre brillante cuando pedimos desde aquí llegó a ser una de las mejores comidas para llevar en Oxford, deliciosa comida, siempre caliente y libre de culpa.

Friendly atmosphere, dogs welcome, large outdoor space at rear and plenty of seating outdoors and some inside for colder months. Hot drinks and snacks, staff efficient and friendly. Can get busy inside with various groups meeting, but also quieter spells during the day . Well worth dropping by. 😊

Great staff, great service and great food. Cheaper and better than Buddies along the beach.

I had a lovely quiche and salad, very reasonably priced. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff & service & the best oxtail an rice I ever tasted. Who’s momma cooking dis? lol

Encontré este lugar durante un día en Bedford. Amplio menú de café sándwiches, panini, desayunos y chaqueta de patatas, además de una selección de pasteles. 4 amable personal encantado de ayudarnos a elegir. Chaqueta de patata apilada con queso y judías con ensalada por 5 libras esterlinas : 95 . Panini de jamón y queso £ 4 : 50 . Caliente y sabroso. Deliciosa tarta de zanahoria compartida y pan corto de chocolate con té y café para terminar. Coste 18 libras: 95 - gran relación calidad-precio. Lo que fue bueno ver fue que alguien apareció solo para usar el baño y dijeron que bien no hay problema. Bien vale la pena visitar si en Bedford

El Micro Bar es un gran lugar si quieres probar cervezas continentales y cervezas de verdad. El personal es genial y el bar en sí atrae a una clientela variada. Nunca decepciona.

The Staff at The Olive Branch always have a smile and they are volunteers. Nothing is too much trouble and they always make us feel welcome. The Homemade Cakes look delicious and the large Cheese Scones are always eaten by my friends. In the colder weather my friends usually have their soup and I always see someone in there eating a Full English Breakfast at lunchtime.
