The best restaurants in England

Food was awesome, the place is larger than it looks, lots of space, dog friendly, will for sure visit again

I don’t usually dwell on poor service, but this experience left a particularly bitter taste. We arrived at 8:12 PM and were immediately met with pressure from the waiter, who told us the kitchen would be closing in 20 minutes. From the moment we sat down, we felt rushed—not only with our food order but also when choosing wine. The tone was abrupt, and the atmosphere felt more like a last-minute pit stop than a welcoming dining experience. In hindsight, we should have left right then, as it was clear from the outset that we weren’t being treated with basic hospitality. Feeling cornered, we hastily ordered three dishes and a bottle of wine just to avoid missing out. But what followed only added insult to injury. At 9 PM, four more guests arrived and were allowed to order freely without any mention of time constraints. When we challenged the waiter about the discrepancy, he denied saying the kitchen was closing in 20 minutes and even falsely claimed we had arrived at 8:30 PM. Only when he checked the system—which clearly showed 8:12 PM—did the timeline become undeniable. Yet even then, he continued to deny ever pressuring us, despite there being three of us who heard him say it clearly. It was deeply frustrating to be rushed, gaslit, and then dismissed, especially when it became clear that the kitchen was never in danger of closing. We felt manipulated into ordering quickly for no reason at all. Fried Baby Squid (£17.00): Lightly battered but visually unappealing—almost blackened. Grilled Mackerel (£13.00): Well cooked, with a salty sauce and pickled radishes. Pentolaccia Scoglio: A rich and satisfying seafood pasta; easily the standout dish. Decent quality and reasonably priced, though we barely had a moment to consider the options. Despite the good food, the lack of welcome, dishonesty from staff, and unnecessary pressure ruined the evening. We felt uncomfortable from the moment we arrived and were treated with a complete disregard for the customer experience. I will not be returning, and I do not recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely amazing food best tapas I've ever had _ jb what an amazing chef bar staff where so friendly and great service I will be back again soon

A return visit and glad to report it is as good as ever! For a relaxing lunch with superb food and friendly service this place is up with the best. A surprisingly big menu gives a wide choice and ths cooking and presentation is excellent. Have to mention the belly pork and salmon.

Really nice, really friendly. Decent size portions. Will be going back

Good restaurant, enjoyed our visit with work colleagues.

We called in whilst visiting Ludlow to do a bit of shopping. We had a look around and had two takeaway coffees. We were so impressed that we went back for lunch. We ate a pepperoni pizza outside which was absolutely delicious. Pizza was on a sourdough base and was to die for. My wife and I both agreed it was the best pizza we had ever eaten (we’ve had a lot) The lady owner was lovely, and a really good host. We bought a few provisions from the well stocked shop as well. Highly recommend

As always Ali and his team prepared and delivered fantastic food. We have been using Bellwaris since they opened many years ago being one of their first customers. The food is always tasty good value for money and piping hot. Thank you Laura
