The best restaurants in England

Went for a late lunch on Sunday. I'll keep it short. If there's a better steak to be had in York, I've yet to find it. It's not, of course, the cheapest, you get what you pay for.

We stumbled across the old bakery tearoom on a visit to the Cotswolds, well the food was amazing...so fresh & full of flavour and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning

Stunning restaurant, decorated so well for Christmas. Service, food and drinks were exemplary!! We will be back again for definite. The Sunday lunch was Amazing!!

Tuve la experiencia más perfecta. Las camareras eran una delicia total. Ellos entendieron el Menú y explicaron todo claramente. La comida era increíble. Una deliciosa variedad de selecciones, así como uno de los mejores postres en marcha. Fresas en un horno de pasta con canela y azúcar. ¡Oh Dios! Muy recomendable Súper vibraciones increíbles y trans friendly

we had amazing food served with friendly, professional service. Despite being fully booked the attention to detail was wonderful. Well done to Ceri and Matt for running Restaurant Four so well!

Amazing from start to finish. The food is superb as always, the hospitality is second to none and that’s before they recognised my girlfriend’s birthday! Amazing Saturday night!

Breakfast was lovely, well cooked from Emma & lovely service from Gaye & Chris, lovely hotel, lovely restaurant, would come again

This is small cagfe set back from the coast path, ideally placed to rest a while. Great coffee and cake. Highly recommended

Finally got around to trying Elvin's for the first time, shouldn't have aired so long. Day off work so after a good walk into & around Lytham picked up a box meal & sat on the seafront looking out to Southport happily munching away as the temperature hit 16. Great variety on the menu, lovely food so was an excellent first choice, nicely boxed up, reasonably priced, generous portion sizes. Friendly staff and very helpful. I'll be back to gradually work through the rest of the menu. Give it a go if you haven't already, you'll be glad you did. Simon, Ansdell.

Mi esposa y yo pedimos un sándwich, huevo mayo y un atún mayo, patatas fritas, ensalada y ensalada de col a un lado. Ambos vinieron en pan espeso fresco, las limaduras eran abundantes y la ensalada de col era hermosa. Tal cambio para pagar por algo y conseguir cada centavo. Muy recomendable este lugar!

Had an enjoyable evening and some great dishes on the tasting menu. So what I write here may seem picky. But...we paid over £400 per head (including wine - and non-alcohol - drink pairings). I've been fortunate to eat in a number of Michelin starred places and this isn't at that level IMO. Restaurant is nicely located, very nicely presented and the staff were generally great. The sommelier seemed like they'd had a bad day and not especially inspiring. And I know I'm getting old when one stand-out thought was how many were wearing clothes that didn't fit! The food, which is what we came for, was a mixed bag. None of it was "bad", definitely need to underscore that. Clearly significant skill involved in all of it, which is one box ticked. Nothing worse than visiting a top end restaurant only to think you could prepare the food at home! And there were some stand out dishes. The mackerel/lime/sorrel was a flavour punch, and the sea bream/black radish/perilla was both full of flavour and delicate all at the same time. Definitely my favourite dish. I'd also note the Eastwood cheese/bakewell dish was nice too, but a £15 supplement was a bit cheeky in retrospect (we knew it was a supplement beforehand). Bread and chicken butter was nice (parfait technically well executed)... Others were OK - damning with faint praise at this level really. Earth was a mushroom dish that was nicely executed, Quail pt 2 nice enough and I liked the Final Sweets but reception was mixed around the table (eating all components together made the most of it IMO). A number of others were nice ideas, but missed the mark in key places. Cheese/caviar had nice flavour but the texture wasn't right. Too chewy - pitched a "doughnut", I'd take a doughnut back if it cost 50p from a supermarket and chewed as this did. The chicken sandwich was pretty bland flavour-wise and the texture was on the edge of OK. Flavour was also lacking in the beef/trout/leek dish and the rhubarb/custard (the main flavour of which was the orange cake - didn't mind that, but the menu advertised rhubarb and custard, which I love, and that was nowhere. And a couple technically missed the mark. Cod/fennel/green chili had a small piece of cod that was overcooked - marginally, but overcooked. And whilst the taste was lovely, it wasn't fennel/green chilli. And Quail pt1 was a couple of small pasta parcels, the pasta for which was too thick and the stuffing very solid. Being greedy it's not often the texture of a piece of food detracts from the flavour (if it's there) for me. But this did. Wine pairings were generally very good according to my dinner mates. I was driving so tried the non-alcohol pairings for the first time ever. I probably won't again. Some nice liquids that I wouldn't have thought to try, but some not that great (I should have asked for a list of what they were in advance...perhaps that should just have been offered ;)). There's a lot to like about this restaurant, but with its awards and price point it's operating at a serious level and missed the mark for me, so couldn't recommend it on the basis of this visit.

From day 1 they open restaurant in blackburn, I met a staff Tahir and rest of others staff they so so loving and caring excellent and brilliant customer service they have specially tahir he is so so extremely best human and staff in my Lahore restaurant and he supposed to be a manager, and the food are so so nice and excellent. This restaurant become my family restaurant.

A wonderfully intimate culinary experience! Only a handful of tables so a really special feeling, service is extremely attentive and the waiters knowledge of the food is impeccable! The kitchen is open so you can see the hustle and bustle, however it isn’t noisy or at all uncomfortable - highly recommend!

This has been one of my favourite restaurants. I arrived today at 2.20, they do not close until 2.30 . They refused to serve me because they were closed. They have lost a regular customer.
