The best restaurants in England

A nice small cafe serving excellent coffee/tea and a handsome scone. The tables are arranged in an open square room in a functional way so it couldn't be described as cosy. But it's a pleasant enough place with very friendly staff. A little off the beaten track for Whitley Bay centre, but if you're in the area, it's worth stopping off.

Best nuggets in the area, would highly recommend the Smokey joes BBQ. You definitely get what you pay for and customer service was solid.

Nice size pizza but from my experience there could have been more topping for the price. I had it delivered so might be better having it in the restaurant next time so cannot really judge fully. It did have good toppings.

The food is impeccable and always fresh and piping hot with me exceptions. I read the reviews and reading Nicholas’s review I don’t think it is accurate the food is restaurant quality and definitely value for money. You can see where the money goes it’s in the quality of the food and service delivered. Let’s face it if it was that bad you wouldn’t go back even if it was the only option unless you are incapable of cooking. Highly recommend excellent Thai

Pretty, friendly restaurant with lovely service. The pizza was absolutely outstanding! Can also recommend the delicious pasta ragu. Next time I’m going to try the ravioli.

Have been going to MI Rice for a couple of years now. Never had a bad experience. The food is fantastic, freshly made, fresh ingredients, and if you close you eyes you would believe you are in Asia somewhere in a local restaurant. Have tried several dishes but keep going back for the Spicy Pulled Pork Soup Based Noodles, where you have a choice of noodles to go for. Go for the large portion and if you are brave, you can up the spice by two levels. Not got passed level one. Great value and takes me about 40 minutes to eat and it stays hot the whole time. Friendly and efficient staff.

Fui allí en enero, en primer lugar, qué estafa absoluta, porciones pequeñas y comida normal. Olvidé los lados y las salsas que pedí y el huevo frito estaba duro y parecía podrido. No volvería a poner un pie allí

Absolutely delicious Sam, the prawn starter was delicious. Thankyou so much Sam and I’m sure the villagers will be sad to see you leave. Good luck

I'd been out with a group of chums to see "Dune: Part 2" (oh, and I have opinions about THAT!) and fancied something appropriately spicy afterwards: The spice must flow! We chose Rumana's on a recommendation from a friend's sister, and I'm glad we did. Their website says they "pride ourselves in treating our customers like members of our family", and it really felt like we were old friends visiting someone's home (especially with the well-behaved kids scooting around and being generally delightful - and I don't even like kids!) I think we were served by Rumana herself, and she was welcoming and helpful - a real pleasure to meet someone so engaged and enthusiastic about their restaurant, and being a great host. The other staff were also very polite and helpful, and knowledgable about the menu. Speaking of which: The menu has a selection of dishes which seem unusual and possibly unique to this restaurant. I won't go into too much detail about my friends' dishes, but all were given the thumbs up. The poppadoms came out first, of course, but the accompanying sauces need some props: Their chili-sauce-gravy thing was incredible (I almost asked if I could take some home). Most curry / balti restaurants in Brum seem to have their own 'red sauce' and it's not often one stands out as being extra-special and worthy of a paragraph of review: This was one of those special sauces. Spicy, tangy (tamarind?), thick, and with a huge amount of flavour. Well done, chef! For a starter, I had Shunamoti: I've never had a cheesy chicken tikka omelette before, but I will certainly have it again (and probably learn to make it at home). Very unusual, and very tasty. for my main, I decided to opt for something at the spicy end of the scale, and had to ask about the story behind "What the Bloody?!" (yes, that is what it is called) - no spoilers! You'll have to find out yourself. It warranted three chilis on the menu (not the hottest thing they serve), but this was a home-cooking 3 chilis and was at the top end of my spice tolerance (which is quite high), so be warned! I can recommend the mango lassi as a wonderful 'control rod' for the naga reaction. However: The dish was not just hot for the sake of being hot, but had a real depth of flavour, too. The accompanying roti was fluffy, fresh and hot. I am also reliably informed that their Peshawari Naan is one of the best my friend had ever had (and they lived in India for a while), drizzled with honey and with juicy sultanas embedded within. The restaurant is unlicensed, but there is a small shop over the road where you can buy booze if you need to. It's also next door to a 'Spoons if you want pre- or post-curry cask ales. Overall, a great experience. Northfield seems to be THE place for getting something authentic, unusual, and very tasty these days (I reviewed the equally excellent Omar Khayam a few weeks ago). I'll be back to explore the rest of the menu at some point: I definitely need to try the Atomic Chips!

Excellent food, wine and especially service supplied by Jose! Great experience which I would recommend to anyone. Good finish to the Jack the Ripper tour.

Fabulous gelato just around the corner from my house :))) Feel very lucky to have this so close to me. The flavours are to die for and it's soo deliciously creamy.

So pleased we found this cafe for our breakfast stop off. The full English breakfast was amazing, with fabulous quality produce.

Cuckoo Cakes has been replaced by Cafe Italia. A lot more dishes have been added to the menu which now features both British and Italian food. The spaghetti carbonara is the best I have ever had. I wish them all the best for their new venture.

Possibly the best coffee in Europe. This guy taught me not to have sugar in my coffee. Legend. Can’t wait to get back again

The Round House is a superb place and the new menu is second to none and staff are out of the top draw especially Bella.
