The best restaurants in England

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!

I originally come from this part of Cornwall and Jumunjy had been recommended to me by several locals that I know. The food, the service, and the decor did not disappoint and we had an excellent evening. Before visiting I had looked at the menu and thought it looked a little on the expensive side but the actual bill at the end of the evening seemed reasonable, particularly given the quality of the food.

Quality food and genuinely friendly and helpful staff. Great for a casual evening meal. But beware, the Thupka is hot! 🥵

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.

Lovely clean cafe food was tasty with large portion but the star are tye staff. My teen tipped their hot chocolate the staff couldn't have done enough checked noone was burned cleaned the mess up and gave us a new hot chocolate.

The epitome of a Tea Room, leaf tea, China cups, plus excellent tea shop food. If you are in Barnstaple, ignore all the “coffee houses”, make your way to this Tea Room. Excellent service, good food, all at a reasonable price. We cannot recommend it more.

We love coming to The Orpington! We moved to the area this year and happened to discover this little cafe within a couple weeks of moving. We were so happy to find such a cosy and welcoming place with such delicious food. There’s a great selection on the menu and we’ve since come back to enjoy several breakfasts, lunches, coffees and dinners here! We recently visited for a Christmas meal and had their Christmas set menu. We had such a lovely evening and both the food and service were brilliant! The food and service were excellent and all of the attention to detail they put into our meal made for a really special evening. Thank you very much!

Lovely cafe, scones to die for, would recommend highly. One small point, was a bit chilly, could do with some heating? Otherwise fab 👌

Such a comfortable, welcoming place to stay for the night. Breakfast was really delicious, the white table cover and beautiful cloth napkins were a lovely touch!

We had a great meal here last week, all the food was delicious and beautifully prepared. The decor is perfect and the service from Cloe was polite and highly professional. If you want a high quality meal in Bideford, we would highly recommend, especially as for what you experience, the pricing is spot on.

Staying overnight in Crawley, we were craving a substantial breakfast and while I often struggle to find something vegan, my partner was more than happy to go meat-free this time. The only other vegan venue in town has moved over to burgers and poke bowls but Sage offers a Full Vegan breakfast and that's exactly what we wanted! The food is delicious (I personally loved the scrambled tofu) and not a bad price nowadays - £12.95 for the aforementioned scrambled tofu, mushrooms, beans, tomato, hash browns, sausages, and sourdough toast. Another couple of quid and you can have 2 rashers of vegan bacon (which, of course, I did!). The menu also offers various light bites and more filling plates. I'm already planning to drop in on my next way through Crawley, just to try out their mixed kebab grill. And yes, everything is still plant-based! There's a good range of coffees with a couple of specialities (I opted for the Matcha Latte) and a selection of non-dairy milks such as oat, coconut, and soya. Also juices, soft drinks, etc. The venue is nicely decorated in a clean and modern style - there's wood panelling offset by crafty back boards and large shaded lights arching over each table. It has a relaxed and inviting feel to it, backed up by the service, which was friendly and welcoming. It's always nice to have a light-hearted conversation that doesn't feel forced, and this place has that natural charm throughout. In short, this is now one of my favourite vegan cafés, especially being one that caters for us herbivores as well as any flexitarian friends that may want to join us. Situated along the southern end of the historic High Street, it's also a convenient location, so the best of all worlds!

What a find!! Can not recommend this Tea Room highly enough. We’ve had lots of cream teas over the years, but Bramdowns is the best ever. The homemade scones were amazing. The service was first class and so friendly. The decor and the crockery are lovely, also with the music in the background you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Thoroughly enjoyed it, so much more than just a cream tea. Long May you continue, Ladies. Next time we’re passing by Porlock, Bramdowns, is a definite stop off.

Authentic pierogi with a selection of meat and veggie fillings. My favorite was the sauerkraut and mushroom. Cash only! A lovely small space with friendly hosts. 🥟

Booked Leonnie and Neil as a private chef experience at a local Airbnb we hired for 12 guests at 60th birthday party. Food was fantastic, well presented and the flavours were amasing, it was a brilliant evening that I would recommend them if you wanted a relaxed special event Thanks again to the both of you from all my family

Had a full English breakfast it came well presented, hot and appetising, fresh coffee, home made cakes made by the owner, seating out front and back in lovely courtyard, everyone welcome, dogs allowed. Local honey sold there and jams really good selection. Can't wait to go back. Staff were so friendly and welcoming thank you.
