The best restaurants in England

My partner and I stopped off at this cafe for lunch when arriving in Southport. On the car journey there, I looked at places for lunch and Hideaway came up in the recommendations. We both ordered a panini - the mozarella, sweet chill and chicken for me and a tuna mayo one for my partner. The paninis were a generous size and came with salad on the side. We both ordered a drink with this - soft drink and an americano. The total came to just over £20 which we didn’t think was too bad considering the size and quality of the food. I would certainly recommend this place for a lunch stop but also if you’re looking for something more fulfilling as the menu offers a rang of larger meals including a breakfast menu.

Excellent cafe pleasant staff great tea and delicious snacks ideal when you are out shopping or just fancy chilling out

Small indoor and larger garden café. We were there on a sunny but cold day and the high hedges protected us from the wind. Imaginative and attractive dishes served quickly by young cheerful hekpful waitresses Good quality and prices .

We love this place. Visit on a regular basis. We have gotten to know the owners over the last three years. They are very welcoming and make you feel part of the family. It's their home and comes with a lot of character and charm. Food is absolutely outstanding. Always well cooked and fresh. The prices are spot on. It's not over the top and is well worth every penny. Due to it being so popular, it's advisable to book in advance to avoid disappointment 😞. Service can sometimes be slow, but the food is well worth the wait. Highly recommended for a visit.

Our first time and didn't disappoint, absolutely stunning food, we had Truffle Aranchi Mushrooms, Smoked Swordfish Salad then Octopus and Beef Ribs Ragu followed by Lemon Meringue Pie and Bread/Butter Pud with Pecans. Liked the way Maria went round all the tables getting feedback and all the staff were very attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere and very authentic. Will definitely visit again.

Have used this cafe for several years, always Sunday lunch and sometimes a snack, cannot be beaten for food, prices and ambience. The present owners are retiring..it will be a hard act to follow, here's hoping...

Quite frankly, one of the best restaurant experiences my wife and I have ever had. The food was exceptional - a superb menu where each course blended beautifully with the next. Everything was put onto the plate for a reason and each mouthful was a joy to behold. The service was also excellent - staggering to consider the restaurant is a two person operation who work exceptionally hard to provide a brilliant experience for each customer. Well done guys - you’ve nailed it. We can’t wait to come back again!

We got a very tasty takeaway from here whilst we were staying on holiday. Staff were very friendly and the restaurant also looked nice to eat in.

What a beautiful tea room set in a covered little courtyard. We discovered this place after reading amazing reviews. The scones are home made and absolutely delicious with a fresh filtered coffee. Although slightly hidden away, it is well worth a drive for afternoon tea

This is a venue that I have enjoyed visiting and being involved with, however the service during my last visit was shocking. I got a completely different meal that was ordered. The meals were not what was listed or lacking. And as you will see by the attached pictures, out tables were not cleared until asked to. Very disappointed. And also had issues with booking via the website as it started all timings were not available, what has happened to this place???

Really flavoursome and interesting food. A cut above the usual Indian restaurant ! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Also,they deliver takeaway in a radius of 8 miles too

Overall, we enjoyed our time here for Sunday lunch. We think it's fair value and appreciate that they do not add service although we did. We appreciate having the choice. The service was good. Our hostess/waitress who did not introduce herself is very efficient. Service was unhurried but not too drawn out and attentive without being intrusive Our first two courses were good, particularly the mushroom course. It was beautifully creamy, and the Polenta crout was excellent What let the meal down was the beef main. We found the beef too stringy, and although the roast potatoes were good, the boiled carrots and white cabbage veggies were rather dismal. My partner called the mushroom duxelle pointless, I just found it tasteless . Overall, it was very disappointing. We had expected it to be the highlight As I have said, our first two courses were good and our pudding was enjoyable too. I loved the vanilla cream. Though my partner said it would have been nice to have a biscuity thing with it. I think that would work The decor is quite simple which we liked. It's a relaxing place to eat. The tables are a good size and the chairs are comfortable. I hate having to sit on poor quality ones. I would recommend this restaurant, but not sure we would return. Perhaps I am a philistine when it comes to beef as I am not keen on it being rare, especially when it's difficult to cut as it was here. Having a sharper knife would have helped

It was nice enough. The location is amazing and the view stunning and very tranquil but the food was just OK. The waitress was lovely and friendly and chatty and you get a discount if you’ve been to the museum. I wouldn’t hurry back and would try one of the neighbouring places first.

Never had a best burger in my life tried yesterday from them one of the best burgers Best taste in the town Boys were so kind nice

Was as delicious as always, first visit under new management. Amazing service, very friendly and accommodating. Can't recommend this place enough.
