The best restaurants in England

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast dinner at Stay. The food was lovely, generous portions, friendly service in stylish surroundings.

Fully vegan menu. Delicious food. Friendly service. They were very understanding of someone with extra dietary requirements and they were happy to (having been asked and given notice) provide a special meal for me whilst my partner could choose from the menu. Both our meals were delicious. Would definitely go there again if we are in the area.

4 of us visited The Gaff last night for the Chef’s Table experience to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I must admit I was slightly trepidatious when we sat at the bar and were the only patrons in there. I needn’t have worried. As the restaurant filled up around us Chef Robert served up one of the best tasting menus we’d ever experienced. Every course was wonderfully unfussy, with a couple of dishes opting to make vegetables the star of the show, believe me - you’ve never had cauliflower like this. He was also a great host who clearly loves his craft and happily indulged my amateur interests in his cooking throughout the evening. All this was complimented by our American friend with a passion for Pauillac, the wine pairings were high quality, interesting but most importantly delicious. It is unbelievably good value for what you receive (£140 a head for 8 courses, 8 wines and service) and felt really special. My only thought as I exited into the cool April night, ‘I can’t wait to go back’.

We visited The Aviary for the first time at the end of the August.It was lovely.We wondered if we had just been lucky or if such fantastic food is par for the Course. Therefore we returned in October and I can report that it was no fluke and this restaurant is really special. Since our first visit it has been refurbished and also created a separate room acting as a bar serving light food. We stayed with the beautifully appointed restaurant and chose from their special lunch menu which is very good value at £ 25 for three courses and offers a number of choices with a diverse range of options. I started with the satay chicken with peanut sauce.In common with all the courses the presentation was superb.The chicken was very moist and the sauce was excellent.My wife opted for the avocado prawn and was surprised and happy that not only did it taste nice but the serving was most generous. We both had calves liver and crispy bacon served with a jus,mashed potato and broccoli.It was perfect.Every component of the dish was clearly made with such care and creativity.The sauce was enjoyably rich with a hint of sweetness.The chef clearly cares about the food he produces and succeeds with flying colours. For dessert we could choose any from the a la carte menu.I chose to have the banana bread pudding which was very nice and bananary ! My wife had sticky toffee pudding serviced with vanilla ice cream which she thought fabulous but she said it would have tasted even better if served with custard. The waitress whose name we found out to be Egle was brilliant.She made us feel very welcome,was very efficient and helpful and also had a lovely personality.She was proof of how important a server or manager is. A restaurant close by still very good but not as good as The Aviary had a great manager but she left and her departure left a real void. The Aviary is very fortunate indeed to have such a brilliant employee. We only have one concern and that is in trying to offer changes on the lunch menu more regularly some great dishes are taken off like the Atlantic cod.No doubt the calves liver will be replaced in time which would be sad as rather surprisingly it is not offered on the a la carte menu. It so happens that both our visits have been at lunch time.We are planning to go in the evening too.The prices for the evening are certainly no higher than those for the other high end restaurants indeed maybe slightly less. All in all The Aviary is a stunning restaurant both aesthetically and with the quality of the food.It is one of those rare places where you know you are going to be a regular after the first bite of food.

Perfect ! Good was amazing so much of it. Service was brilliant thanks (fred/duncan) lol. Would defo recommend

This spot was ideal for a mid day respite in Windsor,Nice charcuterie board selection and super wine selection. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Excellent service and the menu was epic! Salmon and scrambled eggs are the one! Prices are very reasonable, lovely not to be ripped off. Definitely will be returning :)

Lovely Napolitan pizzas and pasta dishes especially Pollo pizza and Linguine prawns Homemade apple crumble was also delicious, service friendly and attentive, spotless restaurant.

We first visited Revival last year during a Whitstable and just had to pop in again for lunch during a return visit. If you grew up in the 60s, you'll love it - and you probably will even if you weren't. The food is great, so is the atmos, and some of the money you spend benefits local charities. What could be better. I was so impressed, I've just ordered a t-shirt from their online shop as they didn't have my size in store on the day.

Delivery. Always hot 🔥 always delicious... Has to be the best around. We get it delivered, never a problem, order always correct.

Food and service is always amazing I highly recommend the double whammy and loaded fries box. Aswell as the milkshakes

I occasionally come to Farnborough from Germany for work and get something to eat there at lunchtime. I love the place. Delicious food and friendly staff. And all at a fair price!

Another fantastic time at Taste Restaurant within Leicester College. There was an amazing choice for the lunch time menu for the four of us.. Everyones choice was delicious, presented beautifully & a very high standard. We loved everything but I would like to specially mention the panna cotta, it was the best. The staff are so friendly, happy, polite & smart. The table was set lovely, top marks to everyone on the day. Always a pleasure to visit , looking forward already to our next lunch, which is very soon.
