The best restaurants in England

All I can say is fantastic service and fantastic food. This is the pub you all wish for in your home village. Great beer choice Great menu and great value Staff with a smile Food is homely and country pub quality When we come to Alton Towers next year we will be back

Superb service to accompany fabulous food. From the complimentary bread, to the Turkish Tea, my meal and service was brilliant. I would highly recommend Sultans to anyone. Thank you for an excellent meal and a better all round experience.

An amazingly good meal . Everything just beautiful . Go , go , go ! Unfortunately , we couldn't stay as the bedrooms were fully booked , but I hope we can come back another time . We loved the meal , the wine pairing and the staff . One of the best meals we have had.

Excellent food, tremendous service, lovely decor and just a little bit different. We’ll definitely go back and would recommend a visit to anyone that enjoys Asian food. Loved it!

Had to come back to pizza Union, what an amazing pizza and place. This is my second visit and definitely there will be a third. Went with my mum and she tried the tropicali and she loved it ! It was really good the pizza, because it has a balance with the ham. Super happy with this visit

What an amazing little bar!! Loved the atmosphere and friendly welcome. Would highly recommend the moonshine… strawberry & rhubarb is delicious!

We ordered a afternoon lunch selection for 25 people at our baby shower in Lincoln. The owner Dez could not do enough to meet our requests. He delivered a fantastic spread. The selection of sandwiches were delicious and he catered for everyone’s dietary needs. His homemade sausages and his scones with cream and strawberries went down a storm. They delivered to our venue, which took away all the added stress. Thanks again for delivering us a lovely spread on our special day. We will definitely use Margaret’s Tea Rooms a again.

We had a fantastic 40th birthday party here on a Saturday night. Great food and excellent service Many thanks to Vicky, Ben, Josh and the whole team for making this such a great evening. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Cauliflower Popcorn and Tacos were the best.

El mejor restaurante de carne en mi área! Voy aquí a menudo, y este lugar nunca decepciona. En verdad, saludos a los chefs. Se lo recomiendo a todos mis amigos que están en la zona. Bien hecho!

Always loved the lamb doner kebab at AJ’s when I was a student in Leicester uni. Keep up the great work!

One of our favourite restaurants in Cheltenham. The street food starters are great. You never know quite what they'll be like, but they're always delicious, different and a surprise. Nice to have some different curries and flavours than the usual British curries. It seems more authentic (not having been to India!)

Great food and service. Had a drink in the bar across the road whilst deciding what to eat. The quirky decor drew us to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. From the friendly and welcoming staff to the young man who served us and fully explained the menu and how it worked the whole experience was a pleasure. Both our curries were delicious as were the paratha breads that came with them. The lamb curry on the bone (so tender that it fell off the bone) and the chicken curry were fresh made and delicious. If we are back in Blackpool we will definitely have a return visit.

We went for a friend’s 40th the staff were fantastic made sure we had everything we needed and the food was out of this world will definitely be back

Simply disappointed. No meet and greet at the door. We just stood in the entrance despite a staff member doing nothing. Disproportionate amount of time waiting for a menu. Asked to choose wine before we had even seen a menu. There were lots of changes to the menu which we were verbally told but to repeat this to all diners was time consuming. A simple menu reprint would have been better. The waitresses were polite but there was no happiness. When we asked one to explain what something was the answer came back as ‘a pastry thing’. There was a lack of dish knowledge by everyone except the main man. Who was running around taking orders and producing bills and basically doing the brunt of the work. The terrine starter and beetroot gravlax were bland. Main courses were good but the chocolate torte was more of a sponge cake with no robust/ deep taste. The wine we chose was good and reasonably priced. It was meant to be a special occasion but was an expensive lack lustre affair.

We used to eat at this pub before it closed and was sold, so we were expecting similar high standards from the new owners - but we were disappointed. Saturday evening was busy, with the staff being fully occupied. Starters were good (ham hock and goats cheese) but the ribeye steaks were poor quality meat and were very under-cooked (had to send both of them back for a second spell on the grill). The chips were unusual, like mashed potato inside a crispy coating. Anyway, at £150 for four people, I didn't think it was good value for money.
