The best restaurants in England

We booked a table for a large family gathering. Service was spot on, efficient and friendly. Food was fantastic. Lots of veggie options and sensible prices. Good coffee. Overall, great experience.

On the 19th January we arrived at Lamingtons tea rooms for a pre booked afternoon tea for myself, my Dad, brother, sister in law and sister. It was a difficult day for us being a year to date our mum had suddenly passed away. We wanted to remember her and knew she always loved a cream tea. After hearing such good reviews about Lamingtons we decided to take the plunge and book on a Sunday afternoon. Well from start to finish our experience was absolutely fantastic, we were met by the lovely Mark who introduced himself to us, so welcoming we were greated like old friends. We were sat at a large round table at the front, where we could admire the beautiful decor of the tea room. We were offered a non alcoholic Prosecco which was absolutely delicious and you would never have known it was alcohol free! Well when the afternoon tea came out we were taken back how delicious it looked so much variety , one of us had a gluten free version and you would not have known the difference it was so nice to see the gluten free person wasn’t missing out with limited choice. Well the food was so delicious so fresh and so plentiful, the teapot was kept filled up by Mark too and he kept an eye on us making sure everything was ok and popping over to talk to us. I cannot say how fantastic this place is, such a gem and we cannot wait to come back, oh and a big shout out to whoever was in the kitchen preparing all the delicious food.

Mother’s Day treat and what a treat it was . 14of us, 9 adults, lovely warm welcome, excellent food, brilliant service, plenty of choice, definitely recommend, thank you so much

A really good meal, very tasty and not too filling. We all enjoyed it. 2 of us had the Thali and it was a perfect selection thank you.

Never eaten here before but the food was amazing. 2 roast dinners were to die for, and scampi & fries was excellent. Great service from Lucy and the young waitress. Didn't get her name. Great prices, great atmosphere. Well done.

Well. I'm 62 years old and been eating bacon sandwiches all my life. I have got to say that the Bacon and black pudding sandwich I had at this lovely little cafe was the best I have EVER had!! Ok it was £8 but the home made bread,3 rashers of dry cured back bacon and a nice slice of Doreen's black pudding was marvellous. My wife also had the most amazing gluten free chocolate torte. Staff were also very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be going back very soon .

Customer service was spot on and very efficient, baguettes were VERY reasonably priced for such a prime location, thank you

I was recommended the Bari Tea Brewery by a friend and was not disappointed. The range of teas on offer was vast with many interesting flavours! I had the green ginger tea with a scone which was freshly baked and was very tasty! Service was very good and all the staff very friendly.

A really friendly welcome this morning.we were first in for breakfast shortly after opening time. The staff were really nice and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and coffee so good we had a second cup, this set us up for our day on the next stage of the South West Coast path. A great find.

I’ve tried the beef, the chicken and the pork today! I can’t make up my mind which one is the best! Everything is fantastic here and the owners are very friendly and very helpful! See you folks next Friday! Tim x

I went with my uncle and he mentioned the £1 tea deal about every twenty minutes we were there. He was amazed! I'm gluten, dairy allergies and veggie and describe this as the best kept secret in Romsey. They even do gluten free waffles/pancakes and bagels which is unlike ANYWHERE else. The cost is amazing and the staff so attentive. We were hidden round the corner but they still remembered to check in and offer us a tea refill frequently!

Excellent all round. Brilliant Service and food. Would highly definitely return and recommend Would definitely return

A friend who lives locally suggested we have lunch here and it was a great choice. We were lucky to get the last table upstairs on a Friday lunchtime. She had a ham and cheese toastie with salad, I chose the frittata with the smoky beans and everything was delicious. You have to pay in another building next door but one on leaving, and the very pleasant girl there offered me a 10% voucher to use in the bakery opposite. As it was Valentine’s Day we chose a couple of heart shaped brownies and they were gooey, chocolatey perfection.

Excellent food, lovely table and such a quaint little place,service with a smile thoughrouly enjoyed the evening will return when we're back in Broadway

Weekday dinner meal. Great, albeit compact, ambience. Fabulous, rustique food. The pinsa style pizza was packed full of flavour whilst the arancini has a rick tomato sauce. Cheesecake dessert was excellent. I ate hear 2 years ago and it still has its charm.
