The best restaurants in England

Absolutely fantastic blue cheese and bacon burger with fries. Chunks of blue cheese with garlic mayo (I think!) and crispy bacon ona great tasting burger. Don't be put off by the outside appearance (I wasn't sure it was open until I stuck my head through the door) - the food is gorgeous and good value. Fresh and homemade by 'Big Ben' and his team who were all very friendly.

We had a great meal here last week, all the food was delicious and beautifully prepared. The decor is perfect and the service from Cloe was polite and highly professional. If you want a high quality meal in Bideford, we would highly recommend, especially as for what you experience, the pricing is spot on.

I was attending a private function in the afternoon and the service, food and ambience were excellent. I'm coeliac and I have to have a Gluten-free diet which was catered to, to perfection. Would definitely recommend going.

My partner and I stopped off at this cafe for lunch when arriving in Southport. On the car journey there, I looked at places for lunch and Hideaway came up in the recommendations. We both ordered a panini - the mozarella, sweet chill and chicken for me and a tuna mayo one for my partner. The paninis were a generous size and came with salad on the side. We both ordered a drink with this - soft drink and an americano. The total came to just over £20 which we didn’t think was too bad considering the size and quality of the food. I would certainly recommend this place for a lunch stop but also if you’re looking for something more fulfilling as the menu offers a rang of larger meals including a breakfast menu.

Always a good stop. New owners have an excellent menu, beautifully prepared food including the infamous home made chips & local pies etc. our waitress was friendly & efficient. A lovely lunch, we will be back. Tina, Michael & Millie the Schnauzer

Myself and the family were out and about and the kids were hungry, I remembered the last time my husband and I were in Bude we stopped at a lovely pie shop, so I had to find it again!! We got it to take away but it was absolutely delicious and sooo filling, I'm glad it met the expections from our last visit, and the kids loved it too! Albeit they only had sausage rolls and half our chips and gravy but thr pies were gorgeous. The gentlemen cooking/serving in the restaurant was so friendly, humorous and recommended the sausage rolls for my fussy girls and didn't mind that I walked in just as he opened the shop! (My bad) will be visiting again for sure.

Staying overnight in Crawley, we were craving a substantial breakfast and while I often struggle to find something vegan, my partner was more than happy to go meat-free this time. The only other vegan venue in town has moved over to burgers and poke bowls but Sage offers a Full Vegan breakfast and that's exactly what we wanted! The food is delicious (I personally loved the scrambled tofu) and not a bad price nowadays - £12.95 for the aforementioned scrambled tofu, mushrooms, beans, tomato, hash browns, sausages, and sourdough toast. Another couple of quid and you can have 2 rashers of vegan bacon (which, of course, I did!). The menu also offers various light bites and more filling plates. I'm already planning to drop in on my next way through Crawley, just to try out their mixed kebab grill. And yes, everything is still plant-based! There's a good range of coffees with a couple of specialities (I opted for the Matcha Latte) and a selection of non-dairy milks such as oat, coconut, and soya. Also juices, soft drinks, etc. The venue is nicely decorated in a clean and modern style - there's wood panelling offset by crafty back boards and large shaded lights arching over each table. It has a relaxed and inviting feel to it, backed up by the service, which was friendly and welcoming. It's always nice to have a light-hearted conversation that doesn't feel forced, and this place has that natural charm throughout. In short, this is now one of my favourite vegan cafés, especially being one that caters for us herbivores as well as any flexitarian friends that may want to join us. Situated along the southern end of the historic High Street, it's also a convenient location, so the best of all worlds!

Sunday 1st December 2024 Whenever I am back in my home town; Beckenham, I do try to pop into here, it hasn't disappointed. Had the carrot cake today - delicious 😋 Good service with a smile - even when busy! Thank you team!

Friendly speedy service, perfect sausage bap, and at last a "spot on" latte coffee, highly recommended. Welcomed with open arms, even though I'm a devoted life long Forest fan 🙂.

What a find!! Can not recommend this Tea Room highly enough. We’ve had lots of cream teas over the years, but Bramdowns is the best ever. The homemade scones were amazing. The service was first class and so friendly. The decor and the crockery are lovely, also with the music in the background you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Thoroughly enjoyed it, so much more than just a cream tea. Long May you continue, Ladies. Next time we’re passing by Porlock, Bramdowns, is a definite stop off.

Just had a great lunch here. It is very small, but food is great! Zhurek was perfect start for a chill weather and pierogi were really good. Food definitely tastes being homemade. Just be aware it is cash only.

Four of us came here in early November to celebrate my birthday. From the booking through to actual service it was wonderful. You can bring your own wine and pay corkage which we did but ended up just having some of the excellent organic wine from the wine list. There was lovely bread and olive oil on the table which disappeared quickly. I had cured trout for starter, hake for main and a posh Eton mess (my best description anyway). All the food was fresh local produce, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The most surprising and very pleasing thing was the bill. At around £55 per head including wine and service it was extremely good value for money in this day and age. I would most definitely look to book again when we come to Cornwall next.

Friendly staff, great service. Beautifully decorated with an Easter theme. We had sandwiches and hot melts, all very tasty. The coffees were delicious too. Really enjoyed the visit, thank you!

Valentines meal was fantastic, great food great atmosphere highly recommend. Can’t wait to go again . Food never disappoints. Thank you
