The best restaurants in England

Unfortunately this was not a great experience. We were a family of 5 and no tables were readily available to accommodate 5. However there were three tables for two free. When asked if my disabled mother of 88 and myself could wait until a table became free the response was totally unacceptable. Yes you can but we will need to put a chair outside (in the cold) for her to sit and wait. No more needs to be said. Embarrassing poor customer service and a very distressing experience for us all.

Best kebab shop…. Just simply cannot get enough of it.. love the shish wraps and the sauces as well as the chips and cheeky box of donor meat.. can’t wait to visit again asap..

Very pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff. Tea was nice!

Service was really fast and and food tasted good. Tayba was really helpful and gave good suggestions definitely will come again

Un gran pequeño café era bolsas de historia. Gran té, gran café y nunca tuvo algo malo en el menú. El personal es siempre acogedor y muy eficiente, incluso en un servicio ocupado. Admite perros con un ambiente agradable. Podría ayudar a resolver la condensación pero una pequeña queja.

Nice coffee at a good price friendly place good service

The best place to get coffee/milkshakes/lunch/snacks in Southend. Really reasonably priced, great coffee, great atmosphere. Can’t think of anywhere I’d rather go and sit in Southend. Whether you’re in town or the seafront it’s going to be easy to get to and worth it.

I recently celebrated my 30th birthday at Jenkins Bar, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Carolyn and the team were so accommodating, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. The venue itself has a fantastic atmosphere - intimate, stylish, and perfect for a celebration. With the number of guests I had invited, I opted for exclusive hire (upstairs and downstairs), which worked brilliantly for a mix of family and friends. So many of my guests commented on how great the space was, with many saying they hadn’t known about the bar before but would definitely be returning! One of the highlights was working with Luke, the mixologist, to create a personalised cocktail for the night - it was such a fun and unique touch. The bar staff were fantastic, keeping up with a busy night while staying friendly and efficient. Carolyn’s clear communication throughout the planning process also made everything so easy, and on the night, everything ran smoothly. We had no problem meeting the minimum spend - safe to say, everyone had a great time! Another big plus is the bar’s location - just outside the city centre, making it easily accessible without the usual city crowds. I also really appreciated the flexibility of being able to bring our own food and drop off decorations earlier in the day, which made setting up stress-free. If you’re looking to support a small, independent business with a unique venue for a private event, I highly recommend Jenkins Bar. A huge thank you to the entire team for making my birthday so special!

Un gran grupo familiar fue a una celebración de la Boda de Rubí, incluido un niño de 9 meses. Todos estábamos alojados en el jardín mediterráneo, que tenía un ambiente encantador para el evento. La comida era excelente opciones vegetarianas y comidas de carne. Los postres, todos calientes excepto el helado - estaban deliciosos. El servicio para un grupo tan numeroso, 31 comensales, fue insuperable, nada demasiado problemático, muy eficiente, atento pero no asfixiante e incluso se disculpó cuando saltaron las alarmas de incendio. Algunos de nuestros huéspedes han dicho que volverían de nuevo. Nosotros también volveremos a visitar, hay más en el menú para probar.

They offer you peppercorn sauce like it’s a free sauce then sneakily charge you £3.95 for it at the end when you get the bill, very silly move

Is this London’s best kept secret? Tasting menu for £65 has to be bargain of the year. Could do with a more extensive wine list but other than that it was perfect.

Been here twice over the past week with my boyfriend as we live in headingley and we’re just sad we didn’t know about it sooner! The food is absolutely delicious and they use all extremely fresh ingredients, the bao bun and banh mi are our favourites so far but we’re eager to work our way through the menu! 😅 Not forgetting to mention that the customer service is really good. All the staff are lovely and go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your visit.

The Cellar Tasting House & Wine Merchant in Lymington is a hidden gem that offers a cosy and inviting atmosphere. The knowledgeable team, led by owner, provides personalised recommendations that cater to individual tastes and budgets. The establishment maximises its space with a well-curated shop, a welcoming bar, intimate upstairs nooks, and a charming terrace. The extensive selection of wines and gins is impressive, making it one of the few bars worth travelling over an hour to experience. For serious wine and spirit enthusiasts, this is a must-visit destination.

Nice little local pub playing good music. No food available on the day we were there. Think it's just Friday/Saturday/Sunday

Nice bread. Pastries poor (unpleasant creme filling in chouxbuns and viennese swirls-not fresh cream). Coffee seemed to be instant coffee.
