The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We had lunch with friends and The Fox was the perfect venue for a catch up. It was our first visit and the food was the best we had eaten in a long time. I had one of their handmade pies and my wife had the sea bass, both were delicious.

Well, it was our final visit to the Lakeside Cabin last week. What a wonderful hidden gem this cafe is, and it is going to be very much missed by so many, now that it has closed its doors. The food exquisite, so tastefully presented, especially all those gorgeous cakes, mouth watering! The location and setting, along with the amazing family who ran it made it a very happy place to be. Thank you ‘A’ team, for making our trips an unforgettable and enjoyable experience. So sad that you have gone, but we wish you all the best in your new venture. We will DEFINITELY come and find you at Pydar Mews in Truro.

I bought my mum here for an afternoon tea, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. My mum is disabled and has to have some space to manoeuvre, this was not a problem. The staff are polite and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The afternoon tea itself was presented beautifully, lots of colour and a good selection for sandwich fillings. The scones are divine so tasty and shaped like little hearts! We struggled to finish everything, but took home what we could not eat in a gorgeous little box. I will definitely be booking to come back again for afternoon tea💕

What an absolute treat! We went to The Clink for Afternoon Tea and weren't disappointed. The sandwiches were delicious and interesting fillings, including home made chutney. The chapel is a gorgeous setting for a restaurant. Service was fantastic & friendly by the young women training on the job. Having looked at the meals on nearby tables, we will definitely be back to try the usual lunch menu.

Had full English breakfast. It was lovely . Good quality food . Staff were very freindly and helpful, especially Helena who served me . She didn’t just serve, she was interested in you as a person. Will definitely come here again . I was recommended to come here by the Travelodge receptionist when I asked him for the best place to go for breakfast.

What a lovely place to have a cuppa tea and a bite to eat. The food was amazing. We had sandwiches and the thai pea and spinach soup which was delicious. Jackie and Alan have created a warm welcoming tearoom with some thoughtful and inspiring words of wisdom displayed on the walls. I certainly recommend this place to anybody who visits Stow on the Wold but be sure to book in advance.

we had amazing food served with friendly, professional service. Despite being fully booked the attention to detail was wonderful. Well done to Ceri and Matt for running Restaurant Four so well!

We visited Corner Grill House with friends. It is fab. 3 of us ate from the set menu, great value at £24. Prawns in white wine, Duck pate, and Flat Iron steaks were great. Porterhouse steak was juicy and tasty. Service was impeccable, special mention to Agata. We'll be back!!

A Fabulous meal set in place with a lovely atmosphere and such friendly helpful staff. We enjoyed some top quality food which was very reasonably priced considering the standard of the meal. The braised beef was excellent as were the burgers and steak. The salad was to die for coming with the most amazing dressing! We loved the whole experience so much we booked to come the next evening too! The staff were great, nothing was too much trouble, so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about the dishes they serve, telling us how many of the vegetables are grown by the chef. We would thoroughly recommend this lovely place.

Outstanding independent coffee/doughnut/hog roast takeaway. Welcoming people (thanks Joey & Bailey!) who were friendly and happy to chat. Coffee was delicious (freshly brewed filter), and the hog roast roll was the best I’ve had - complete with crackling. Don’t get me started on the doughnuts.

Called in by chance when visiting Hoveton today. Had a cream scone and very good coffee. Proprietor very chatty and informative. There was a great selection of cakes and pastries as well as cooked food and proper coffee not just the machine varieties that many cafes use these days. Will call in again when passing this way.

Magical evening. We started with drinks at Eve bar and had some delicious cocktails. We then went upstairs to the dining room and the staff talked us through the menu. They were fantastic at adapting dishes to meet my dietary requirements. I’m very sensitive to certain flavours in additional to allergies. They couldn’t do enough to make my experience as enjoyable as possible. Even taking out the things I didn’t like and not just allergies. I wasn’t treated as fussy but as a diner that deserved the same experience as anyone else. Every dish was incredible. Full of surprises and creativity. Flavours and dishes were combinations that were completely unique but every one was perfectly balanced and executed. If we weren’t aware of the zero waste ethos you would never know the beautiful additions to dishes was a product of maintaining this policy. Nothing was there for the sake of it, every element elevated the dishes we were served. Service from both the waiting staff and the sommelier was at the highest level. Wine pairings and cocktail recommendations were perfectly matched to the dishes. Each were unusual and surprising, adding to the experience. A wonderful night all round, worth every penny. I can’t wait to return.

The best cream tea in Devon,home made and delicious! Try the savoury scone tea as well a good alternative, sandwiches are to die for!

We were here celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday. We were welcomed and made comfortable immediately by the staff there. The whole night, the service was impeccable. The restaurant itself was very unique; we loved the black interior and rock playlist. The taster menu was delicious, highlights were the artichoke custard which was very creamy and well balanced with the sesame seeds. The monkfish sauce was delicious, rich, flavourful with a little kick at the end. The sommelier gave us two great recommendations to pair with the meals and was very helpful. The Riesling wine was unbelievable! Not very sweet, delicate and extremely easy to drink.. Definitely will be sourcing a bottle of that! Dessert was well balanced and the perfect end to the meal. I would definitely recommend The Wilderness and would also love to try the sister restaurant now, Albatross.

Loved this experience. I was made to feel welcome and custom appreciated. Service was on the slow side and it wasn't handled particularly well at the start. I did decide to forego the wine tasting pairing and cheese course as a result. Having said that, the food was spectacular and the wines I did sample were great (thank you for letting me taste from the wine pairing menu for the white - great flexibility to make up for the slow start). The seven course is well worth the price and the wait staff were friendly and happy to chat over the dishes and ingredients. The Sake Ginger Grapefruit cocktail I ordered at the start was a revelation as well!
