The best restaurants in England

Exceptional. We hired Paul from the Petite Chouette to cater for a full weekend for a family get together, including a 4 course private dining experience on the Saturday evening. The food was fabulous and Paul was a delight. He offered a selection of menu option as requested and catered for our culinary needs. The highlight was the private dining experience which also included wine pairings. Paul was knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. The food was amazing. We will definitely use the Petite Chouette again and after tasting the exceptional wine and cheese, I will be ordering a monthly subscription box.

I arranged an Afternoon Tea, baby shower for my sister at Papillon in August. I was in contact with Lisa from the start to sort out all the details, and Lisa was so lovely, friendly and happy to accommodate all our needs (including dietary needs). Even when I had to change the number of people coming (two times!), Lisa was still happy to help me out. On the afternoon of the event I arrived early to set up, and was very kindly given the big space at the back of the Café that was more private. Lisa and her team allowed me to put up banners and asked if I needed anything, etc. After all the guests had arrived, the staff at Papillon were so helpful in accommodating all the needs of our large group. It was also very and relaxed, as they allowed us to have time chatting before bringing out the afternoon teas. The Afternoon Tea was 10/10 as it always is, (I've been several times before!) such a great selection, and everything just tasted fantastic. But nothing can beat their sausage rolls, the best I've had in Bedford! They even put a little baby shower decoration on the afternoon tea stands, which was so lovely and gave us extra cheesecakes. Even after the Café was closing (and we lost track of the time.....) the staff were so considerate and let us stay a little longer to finish up our games. Every request I had (pencils for our games, boxes to back up the cakes) the staff couldn't be more helpful. At to top of it off, after we finally left (well after the closing time!) one of the staff members kindly took a group photograph. Overall I am so happy with the experience, and so grateful to all the staff at Papillon for helping to make this Baby Shower so special for my Sister. THANK YOU

I always like to read reviews but not really one for writing them. However, this place is so good I feel I must. A visit to see our son in Kingston is never complete unless we have been to Mimosa. We accidentally fell on this little place a year or so ago and used it as a coffee shop. However it’s so much more than that. We went in yesterday to share a bottle or two of delicious Portuguese wine which turned into a lovely Portuguese meal as well. Hoping to return today before we depart for home to have coffee and cake. It’s such a lovely place with very friendly, extremely knowledgeable staff who are always eager to please. Karen

Very friendly attentive staff. Amazing food freshly prepared and full of flavour. Good value for money. Will be back to try more of the menu.

My husband and I were walking the Cotswold way and stumbled upon this little gem. Yummy food- fresh, creative salads, tasty quiche, a side of perfect crispy potatoes and a very yummy Jamaican ginger cake. But best of all, was the friendly service and fellow diners. Everyone was so friendly and helpful about tips for our walk. The building is very quaint and they had the loveliest posters and art dispalyed on the way to the bathroom. If I hadn't been walking with an already full pack, I would've bought some for sure!

Absolutely brilliant, a real hidden gem. The food and service was excellent. It was so good, we even brought a takeaway.

A great b.fast had by 6 veterans.the staff were amazing.many thnx.x the food was fresh and very hot.best b..fast ever.

Terrible - flavourless, small and not a patch on the old owners - would not recommend. Really so disappointed - would never return

¡Realmente desearía que no cerraras! Extraño tu comida. Este lugar tenía las mejores hamburguesas veganas en Londres por lejos, el servicio era genial también.

Fantastic family-run bakery, we visited almost every other day during our 2 week stay in Polperro and very much enjoyed the freshly baked bread, sweet & savoury treats, as well as a great selection of vegan items. Highly recommend and kudos to the very talented baker!

Popped in for coffee and cake when visiting the area. The lady who served me was so friendly and welcoming, we had a chat about the cakes and the weather. I had a slice of clotted cream cake and a coffee - the cake was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Wish I’d stayed for a full lunch. Would thoroughly recommend.

I had brunch with friends on sunday morning. Kind waiters and tasty food (avocado toast and greek yogurt with fresh fruit).

Just back from our first visit to The Terrace. The decor is stylish, the atmosphere buzzy, the staff welcoming and our waitresses, Natalie and Kash, were charming and attentive. We really enjoyed the Sunday lunch platter - the lamb was particularly good - and the potatoes were actually crispy. Hurrah! My husband appreciated the combination of custard and ice cream with his apple crumble and I had the pavlova with, possibly, the best meringue I’ve ever eaten in a restaurant. We will certainly be back.

Absolutely delicious and friendly spot on Thornton Rd, a 20 min walk from City Park. Loads of vegan and veggie options available - Syrian traditional food plus burgers/wraps. Highlight is the kunafa itself (dessert!)

The best Mexican we have ever had! The Chilli and Fajitas were delicious. Lovely, friendly service - we hope to be back soon!
