The best restaurants in England

Probably the best Steak & Ale pie I have ever had. My wife had the gammon which was perfectly cooked. A proper old pub with very friendly staff. Thanks.

Every time I get a Chinese takeaway from their place. They really do deliver a high end product. Amazing food tonight. And the food is always piping hot Job well done…👍

What a fabulous place! Excellent host, great food, lovely wine and stunning white port! Highly recommended

Me encanta esta comida y siempre la compro los sábados. Las samosas son perfectas y relativamente grandes, y nunca me ha decepcionado este puesto. Los precios son razonables y la comida es muy fresca, no me puedo quejar.

Love the ethos of the place. "The staff and volunteers are being trained in invaluable skills and hospitality experience to help them improve their career prospects. Guests are welcomed to make our house their home for the day, sample the menu and meet the wonderful people who are giving back to the community!" The environment is warm and inviting and the staff are super friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I'd gone there, as part of time put aside specifically to sit and reflect on the memory of someone. I wanted somewhere relaxed and unhurried, where I wasn't made to feel I'd overstayed my welcome. It was certainly better than many places in that regard. It transpired that they run their own radio station which was transmitted into the cafe. Great idea for those involved in creating and running that. However, the music wasn't to my taste and was rather loud, so I was unable to relax. Of course some visitors will actively enjoy this aspect. I wanted to point it out because it may possibly affect people's ability to enjoy the place fully, as a cafe and meeting place. I would have struggled to have a tranquil conversation with someone over coffee. It would be a great place for small groups to have informal meetings but again I think the level of the radio transmission would be unhelpful in that situation. It may be that the radio station isn't transmitting all day, every day. I can only review my own experience there. The place was quite "buzzy" enough to create a warm atmosphere Some very quiet, non abrasive background music would have been perfectly acceptable to me, I just found this to be too invasive. It may be that the benefits to the volunteers in operating the radio station, far outweigh the benefits of maybe getting more customers into the cafe ... and I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm sure the project is all about balance and I wish them every success. If you don't mind loud, fashionable music, then it could be a great little hideaway for you.

Every visit your made to feel welcome with high attention to detail & cleanliness, Geoff, Emma & the girls all work hard & make the difference, with hot well cooked food with plenty of choice, Served with love & a smile, Nothing but excellent service here, so hearty home made meals in gorgeous setting & excellent live music....

We called past after a walk, looking forward to a refreshing drink. The coffee and the lavender and camomile tea were excellent. The deli also do a range of gluten free cakes - the millionaire's slice and the Bakewell cakes were delicious. (I bought another slice to take away). The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely love this fantastic little cafe for lunch (breakfasts are great as well) Beautiful cakes, sandwiches and tasty salad bowls. The quality of the ingredients really makes it stand out. The Damson Tree also provided catering for my birthday party which was superb and my daughter’s 21st birthday cake was absolutely gorgeous. Lovely friendly staff.

Lovely coffee, people and atmosphere. A really nice find and will certainly be returning when next visiting the garden centre

This place is amazing for those that want a great pint of Ale or Cider at £3.50. No fuss. Great for a social meeting that is warped back in time in the Victorian era. Think Peaky Blinders without the gangsters!

Amazing transformation! Hadn’t been in a while but delighted to say the food has been upgraded to restaurant standard. Will definitely be going back, there were 4 of us and all had something different. Everyone was delighted with food, special mention to the lamb kofta and curry. Service was impeccable, staff were friendly, polite, professional and adhering to all COVID guidelines without being overbearing. Thank you for a great evening

Recently moved back to the area and have been here 3 times. This place really is superb and deserves every 5 star review it gets. Freshly cooked fish and great chips and cooked while you wait or by phone order. Sets a very high standard, hence the queues and the phone that never stops ringing. We love it - a real treat.

This is the ideal place to have a cup of coffee when out shopping. The main table is often taken by ladies who sew but there are other tables available and the atmosphere is very friendly

Popped in here for a morning coffee and had one of the newly baked fresh scones with strawberry jam and cream served on lovely vintage china. All very cute and with a lovely warm atmosphere. Log burner crackling away. ❤️ there’s a small vintage gift shop attached. Only open on a Saturday.
