The best restaurants in England

Sa as mall restaurant but don’t let that deceive you - the food is excellent and service really is delivered with a smile.

service is impeccable, staff are excellent and food is amazing 10/10, been here a few times and nothing but the best.

Superbe diner dans un restaurant rénové avec gout. Nous n'avions pas bien compris l'étoile Michelin de l'ancien Blackbird mais sommes très étonné de l'absence d'un 1ère étoile si nous regardons de près le menu "hommage" dégusté hier soir. Tout est parfait, des ingrédients de base de haute qualité et une cuisine élaborée parfaite. Des assemblages de saveurs très justes comme l'ananas Victoria avec le jambon de Bayonne assaisonné d'une vinaigrette dosée à la perfection. Que dire du canard laqué maison et du dessert à la rhubarbe confite . En un seul mot tout est parfait. Surtout ne changez rien. L'erreur des inspecteurs Michelin sera vite réparée.

I am a return customer. The food is amazing. Caters to all needs. Their traditional dishes are some of the best in town. Really recommend this place!!

Fantastic food, great service - will definitely come again! Recommend the chorizo sausage tapas & calamari tapas! Was delicious!

Sam’s pizza catered my 30th birthday party in hitchin, 30 pizzas in total and it was all amazing. They came and delivered them in batches for us which was so handy. I had SO many people throughout the night come up to me and say how insane the pizzas were and it was pretty much all gone by the end of the party! They do gluten free and vegan options as well so everyone could have a slice. Very reasonably priced as well. I have eaten Sam’s pizza a lot anyway and can say without a doubt it is the best pizza around and the owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much Sam’s pizza! I would highly recommend to anyone

Tuve una comida para llevar de Taste of Thailand hace un par de semanas y estaba absolutamente impresionado por la calidad de la comida! Honestamente la mejor comida tailandesa que he comido. Las tortas de gambas para empezar eran increíbles - enorme y lleno de gambas y los rollos de primavera eran divinos. Mermelada llena de relleno, extra crujiente sin un toque de grasa. Compartimos pollo con albahaca, almohada de langostino rey tailandés, curry de langostino tigre Panang y arroz jazmín para principal y todo fue perfecto. Las gambas en los platos eran enormes - jugoso y perfectamente cocinado. El servicio a la hora de ordenar y recoger fue eficiente y amable. ¡No puedo esperar a visitar de nuevo!

Had breakfast here. Went for a vegetarian breakfast and was asked if vegan but said no. Freshly cooked, 2 eggs, vine tomatoes, mushrooms, bubble and squeak plus toast was not too expensive at 10 pounds. Loos leaf tea served in an unusual mug, tea strainer stand was the lid. Staff friendly and kept an eye on my large bag when I went to toilet which was unexpected. Popular spot for breakfast as a good choice on the menu.

One of our favourite wine bars with some interesting wines very well chosen and delightful company and service. Highly recommended for a lovely place to go for cocktails and more.

4 of us went on Friday for the 10 course Tasting Menu and have to say it was one of the best food experiences of my life. Nigel produced some stunning courses, complemented with excellent wines. Jordan looked after us very well and her explanation of each course and the wine to accompany it was perfect. If I could give the restaurant 100 stars I would. Highly recommended.

We had a delicious breakfast on Saturday, we had the plant based option, with sausages, fried potatoes, tomato, mushroom, beans and toast in the café, surrounded by beautiful plants and gardening paraphernalia. A lovely treat on an Autumn morning. Not cheap, but good value for an independent venue in gorgeous surroundings.

The most phenomenal experience at Saison. The restaurant had a lemon theme when we went and the menu reflected this. I had a beautifully cooked lobster bolognaise with broccoli. It was cooked to perfection. The dessert was a lemon and mint sorbet, the most delicious sweet I have ever had, I keep telling people how wonderful it was. This restaurant is outstanding. The staff are so welcoming, polite and helpful. Saison, I will be back!
