The best restaurants in England

The food and the welcoming is just fantastic. There's such a beautiful ambience, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble and there's a wide variety of options for different dietary requirements. And the food itself? First class, cooked to perfection and served super fresh. A lovely selection of hot drinks and the top recommendation: eat in or take away a slice of cake - it's amazing, whatever type you plump for! Photo is of the vegan breakfast, minus the tomato (personal choice), plus extra hash brown and brown sauce. Sets you up for the day!

Lovely atmosphere and fantastic service, incredibly attentive. The Negroni’s are top notch.

Had another great experience at Julianos. Calamari’s excellent. Risotto even better. Friendly people too. Definitely recommend this. Wise to book not a huge place, atmosphere brilliant.

We had breakfast here on both days of our stay in Church Stretton. Very efficient, friendly service. Lovely food with clearly well sourced ingredients. Excellent!

Amazing food and service. Everything went really well. Chicken tikka dansak top notch. All our party said their food was delicious. Spotlessly clean, friendly and welcoming.

Another superb meal at Asquiths - wonderful from start to finish. The plum tarte tatin with rosemary ice cream was inspired! We are very lucky to have this first class restaurant in Lostwithiel! Thank you from Mike & Lisa

Just had tea and a cake with my lovely work colleague friends. What a gorgeous little tea shop this is. We were greeted by a lovely member of staff armed with a hot sample of winter tea. They also had delicious vegan cupcakes and all of the treats were beautifully presented. To add to the experience, all of the teas, coffees, infusers etc. are available to buy. The shop itself smells of delicious things and the ambience is mellow and inviting. I was so impressed and will definitely be visiting again. All of the staff are super friendly - thank you ladies for a lovely afternoon in a perfect tea-lovers heaven!

As usual, our visit to The Dove was an excellent experience. The menu had a good choice of items, with Venison at the top of the list for fantastic quality and presentation. The staff, led by Will and Sophie, were very attentive, responding well to customer requests and anticipating likes and dislikes. It was quite a busy afternoon with only two 'front of house' staff, but Sophie and her assistant provided a well-paced, relaxed ambiance with no undue delays between courses. Long may The Dove's success continue!

We had a lovely lunch last Sunday. Roast sirloin of beef with a huge Yorkshire pud ! Starters were fab, beetroot & pear with goats cheese & a prawn cocktail. Front of house staff were professional & friendly , we very much enjoyed ourselves. Thanks to all at Ollies !

Amazing food, decor, and atmosphere. Packed on a Tuesday evening. Food came out in good time; looked and tasted amazing. We sat in the bar afterwards and enjoyed some cocktails.

What a fabulous location to visit We visited at brunch and loved it that much we returned for a snack later in the evening Food was lovely

We visited as a table of 6 last night and the food and service were excellent. Would highly recommend. Great value too. We will be back.

I found the green cow kitchen @ Crumplebury very underwhelming and the experience is highly missold. Firstly, the concept of calling it a chefs table when in reality you’re being sat in a large room on a long table with about 20 other guests was a big shock. There was no personal experience nor were the dishes introduced over the sound of other guests on the table. I’d like to bring you attention to the definition of a chefs table: A table located in the kitchen of a restaurant, reserved for special guests and allowing them to see the chef at work and sometimes to be served a tasting menu. I’ve experienced some great restaurants and when you read what you may experience from a particular restaurant you do normally experience exactly that. In this case I feel like it is very much over compensated with the wording online. The food was genuinely sub standard. The courses didn’t seem anything special, the flavour selections were interesting. Nothing wowed me about the food, drinks or service. I had some conversations with the guests that were also awfully disappointed, however, they did say they have had better experiences there at Crumplebury in the past. One positive about the experience is that the grounds of Crumplebury are nice, on a farm and very nicely lit at night.

So sad to hear that our favourite tea rooms has closed. Thank you to Suzy, Dave, Ryan and Teresa for being so friendly and welcoming to our family over the past few years. As mentioned by others your scones were simply the best and all food, cakes and drinks so lovingly prepared. We were so glad to have been able to make one last visit during October. There was nowhere else we would have made a 180 mile round trip to visit for sure. Wishing you all the very best for the future.
