The best restaurants in England

After many stays at Penny Hill we finally splurged and dined at the Latymer. We are glad we did. The restaurant has a Michelin Star so the expectations were high. We had the seafood prix-fix offering. The starters were all delicious and creative. My wife and I agreed that the sea bass and scallops were first rate. Regretfull, the crab was fishy and the John Dory seemed overcooked and relatively bland. All the desserts were winners in my book. My wife is not a huge pastry fan so one of the offerings fell short for her. The service was classic Michelin star quality. The team was professional, friendly and crisp without the slightest bit of stuffiness. The sommelier was a total pro. We commented on but did not order a wine from our hometown, and he later treated us to a glass so we could try it. We love that. Also, the young woman who served our cheese course was a delight. The decor of the dining area is going for an old English estate county feel. And while the decor nails the look, it felt a touch dated and could use a refresh. As one would expect, the experience comes at a price, but we knew that going in, so I’m not complaining. The meal took over three hours but the time seemed to fly by, a good sign. In the world of fine dining, there are Michelin starred places I would never revisit, there are ones I’d revisit if invited, and ones I’d rush back to (Amalie in San Sebastián and the 2010’s Guy Savoy in Paris come to mind.). We are happy we tried The Latymer, we had a memorable experience, but we would honestly not rush back.

Love this restaurant ,food is always great and staff are so lovely and welcoming

Very friendly village pub with real ale beers to enjoy.

I would like to thank the amazing guys at Love Mumbai last night.I was having problems paying for my meal with my card on collections,they wasn’t giving up on me trying numerous times.In the end I went to the bank still wasn’t having any luck but that didn’t stop them from giving me my meal.Thank you to the team.xx

We were staying nearby for my Sisters 40th weekend getaway. On the Sunday of our trip we decided to get a Thai takeaway. When we went to collect my uncle and I ended up having a right laugh with Anyawee and Mon. They even gave us a few Singa beers to go with our meal, on the house! The food was hot, full of flavour and was utterly delicious and very reasonably priced too! I Would definitely recommend:)

Excellent all round - not too be missed!!

£8.50 for a pint of Sonoma which is brewed 3 miles away. I understand beer prices are rising but that is an absolute disgrace.

Great Food, Great People, Great Atmosphere Thanks very much to make my morning perfect,I really admire your service and about food trust me I have no words to appreciate,,,, I highly recommend to friends and family keep Carry on Weldone guys…..

Good pub food by the fire with a wonderful view

Brilliant bar staff and management

These guys never disappoints me. Excellent quality and quantity with extremely competitive price 👍🍱. I’d say best in Haverhill. They are actually kabab king 👑 aha

Lovely old house with polite and helpful host. Restaurant on site. Rural location, no local shops in walking distance.

We were talking about the Albion Inn to one of our children and we had arranged to go to Broadstairs that weekend. She said it sounded lovely so we suggested they come down and join us for Sunday lunch. Luckily her husband was not working that Sunday so we rang our other daughter and invited her too! We then rang the Albion and booked a table for 8 of us. Unfortunately this weekend fell when petrol was running out and my husband spent a couple of hours on the Friday trying to get petrol. He went to about 6 different garages with no luck and then the station just next door to our shop had petrol and he managed to fill up otherwise we would not have been able to go. Our daughter who has a 7 seater car and was driving everybody had the same problem. She had driven around most of Saturday and could not get petrol and told us that perhaps we should book the table for just the two of us as she did not think she would make it. However the little love got up at 6.00am Sunday morning and drove around and finally managed to fill up her car so we were all set! The Sunday roast was amazing as always and as there were so many of us (5 adults and 3 children) instead of dishing up the vegetables on the plate as usual they brought them all along in different dishes, which was brilliant as some of the grandchildren do not eat certain things. We also had three gravy boats and two big bowls of cauliflower cheese. Everyone was fighting over this as it is so lovely! This was all washed down with a bottle of Trapiche (an Argentinian Malbec which is very hard to get and if you do find it costs about £28.00 but here it is only £16.50), numerous pints of beer and soft drinks for the kids and my daughter who was driving. My husband had his usual crumble with ice cream and custard and the kids all had ice cream. I then asked for the bill as I had told the family that it was our treat and closed my eyes but it only came to £142.00! Outstanding value for all that food and drinks. Afterwards I went back to the flat, the boys went to watch Arsenal in the pub and the girls and kids went on the beach as the weather was lovely. They thoroughly enjoyed their day and said they would love to come back so sorry if we were a bit loud and messy Albion but we had a brilliant time and everyone left with full tummies feeling very happy. Special thanks to Michael (the gent who before helped me out of my wheelchair in the pouring rain) as he is so lovely.

Restaurant and rooms DISGUSTING!!! DO NOT VISIT!! FILTHY and should be shut down.

Bonito pub en Ealing corner, el personal es excelente la comida es buena y el precio está bien. Me encanta la música en vivo que organizan los fines de semana
