The best restaurants in England

We've been coming back to ordering from Ali's Lounge since moving from Crofton years ago. The customer service has always been great, Mo was always an absolute joy and we do miss him. All the staff are genuinely lovely, the delivery drivers are always so polite and always on time. The food is so much better than what is available to us now locally! I do miss the saag paneer which isnt on the menu now, I used to ask for that with channa (chickpeas) and feel a bit healthier ordering it 😄 But the paneer masala is lovely. My husband always orders fish balti and I always have to pinch some as it's so nice too. So glad they deliver to Ackworth, we'd miss them a lot of they didn't. Much love to Mo's friends and family. He was a really good man and looked after us so much, inviting our children to his own family parties when it was Crofton Indian when they were small. Theyre both late teenagers now but still remember how fun it was! Definitely highly recommended. Really lovely people and great food, what more could you ask for ❤️ Thanks for looking after us, Ali's Lounge!

The food 😋 is soooooo nice it's even better then kfc

Great pub just off the Common - nice warm interior and a good place to watch the rugby. Great selection of beers and friendly staff. Nice beer garden too.

Absolutely spot on Indian takeout! Had chicken and keema dopiaza which was extremely tasty with quality meat. Starters (lamb chops and tikka) also very good! Had a bad time here many years ago but this meal has completely redeemed them. Would recommend and will be ordering again!

Asked for separate sauce to be told it's too expensive. Paid extra for the sauce. No sauce in my bag. Nice food. Poor personal skills

Food is always great and staff are friendly

Really good decent cream teas, we shared one between us with the bit of cake for a tenner. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Sat outside in the sun with tea and cream teas. What could be more British.

I'm no 'Karen', every review I've ever written has been 5 stars, but not this time... The lady who served me only wore 1 glove when preparing my food, then coughed directly into the palm of her hand that didn't have a glove on, then used the hand with NO GLOVE that she'd just COUGHED INTO to pick up and handle MY FOOD!? She looked at me gone out and in silence when I politely said "you're touching my food after coughing into your hand, could you wash your hands and make me a fresh cob please". No apology or 'thank you, have a good day' after I'd paid for my order and thanked her. I could understand if I was being a 'Karen', but I think this is basic hygiene and customer service. I wouldn't write a review about this in isolation, but as im already here ill add that they were bickering like children about who is serving which customer when there were 3 staff members and only 4 customers to be served. Poor service and hygiene displayed by this staff member imparticular which I know is not a reflection of how Birds usually are.

Brilliant little bar. Very friendly and great punters

It's a cute place to hang out ,a place to meet with lovely people 💕.

Not very busy, but well locked after. Toilet's were clean, but would probably do with an upgrade.

Great place for snacks and drink
