The best restaurants in England

I was recently on a date in Bury having a few drinks and we decided to get something to eat. Before I continue let me explain that this was a first date and I couldn't believe my luck, this girl was incredible, unbelievably gorgeous, funny, easy to talk to the whole package and then some. More amazingly she still seemed happy to be out on a date with me. I was punching harder than Rocky when he fought the Russian. Way out of my depth and desperate for things to go well. I don't know Bury all that well but had recently done some work there for an Italian gentleman who took me for an authentic Italian pizza after work one evening. It was the best pizza I've had in my life no contest so seemed a no brainer to go for a pizza. When we arrived at the restaurant I had previously been to it was closed. I was devastated and didn't have a clue where else to suggest. We walked a little further up the road and spotted Meliá. After having a drink at the bar Michael found us a table and I soon discovered the restaurant we was in was the same restaurant I had been to before only in a new premises. Everything about the night was perfect, the food, the wine, the service, the atmosphere and most of all the company. It was certainly a night I'll remember with a smile for a long time. Thanks to Michael and all the staff at Meliá for making me look good. Fingers crossed we'll be back sometime. 😉

Having read good reviews we dont live far away so thought we'd give it a go. Very disappointed really, no swaps on the breakfast, choose items from a list might have been better as there is always something someone doesn't like. Everyone's fried eggs were "snotty" which is quite off putting and two of us don't like black pudding so the full breakfast became two items less. We did give top marks for the sausage and beans tho but the hash browns could have been better quality. All in all edible (apart from the eggs) but I'm sorry we've had far better for less money

Staying in the hotel down the road and read about this place. What a find! Stunningly good food and lovely people. I honestly don’t think I’ve had a better biryani. Some great twists on the usual Indian food as well. I had the Thali and it was utterly delicious.

Visited on the off chance and glad I did. It’s hard to find good vegan cheese, but they really have all the flavours here 😩

Found this place whilst shopping in Loughborough. It's an amazing little place. It's warm and cosy and the staff were so lovely, happy and helpful. Coffee and tea were delicious. The Bakewell tart was exceptional. I took home the last croissant on the shelf that day and enjoyed it for my breakfast the next day, just lengthening my 58 experience. In the New Year we are returning for lunch and maybe try one of their taster nights.

Friendly little Portuguese café of character. Excellent coffee and home made cakes, or sit in for something delicious and unusual for lunch or supper. Generous portions. I think that even the bread was home made. I would be extremely happy to find a place like this in Madeira or London, let alone King's Lynn. You may not recognise everything on the counter, but just ask.

Three of us went to Pie Jackers before a Boro home game. We were greeted by friendly staff. They offered a range of locally sourced home made pies with mash and mushy peas. Two of us had game pie - a special of the day and our friend had chicken. Excellent food and supplemented by some interesting local ales. Great value! We are certainly going back.

Good food good price, but watch you don’t get short changed. Make a point of the cash your giving Cos it’s not the same by the time it gets to the till

Such a shame this fantastic place, all its great staff serving best tasty cakes and food has closed. Hope they make another start in the future, you are missed.

Great food and fantastic service all be it a little pricey for what is essentially an upmarket sandwich bar. Service was fast and friendly and staff were attentive and helpful. On the downside the table and seat I was at were both quite grubby and looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the morning start.

An original and ethical coffee shop in Sanderstead. One of our favourites as the staff are superb, Megan is a ray of sunshine and sold me on the vegan brownies which are the best, veganism aside! Great coffee and original sandwiches. That's their selling point! Different than all the chains and smiling, happy staff always willing to help my husband get in with his wheelchair.

Great Pizza, perfect base and easy toppings, been ordering from them for years and always have a great service! Well worth a try if you fancy a real authentic Pizza

Ben y Duncan hicieron todo lo posible para nuestra fiesta de verano con 50 amigos. Las ensaladas eran increíbles, frescas, deliciosas y realmente interesantes (sin lechuga). Las empanadas de verduras fueron golpeadas incluso entre los comedores de carne. No puedo recomendar Spires lo suficiente. Buena comida, gran equipo! Gracias
