The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

The Farmhouse Kitchen is not the sort of place that will attract much casual passing trade; it is beautifully situated in a remote spot, a few miles west of Middleton in Teesdale, on a dead end road so, other than a few walkers looking for refreshments, the only clientele will be people who know it is there, and who are prepared to travel to it. Don’t let any of this put you off though, the meals are excellent and the portions generous. Sunday Lunch is strictly pre booking only, and choice limited to roast of the day, plus a vegetarian option. All food is home cooked, freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Our roast beef came with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, carrots, cabbage and swede, followed by home made apple crumble and filter coffee or tea. For those who have not booked, or who do not want a traditional roast dinner, there is the choice of All Day Breakfast, or various options of pies, chips, gammon, sausages, chips and sandwiches, cakes etc. The service is friendly and efficient, and the location, in a converted farm building, is very comfortable and welcoming, situated in a very pretty valley with open views of fields and hills all around. We will be back soon! 2 things to bear in mind though: the opening times are limited to Saturday and Sunday only, Easter to October, and they do not accept card payment, which could be a problem when the nearest cash machine is 1/2 an hours drive away!

Cream Cajun chicken pasta is 10/10, build your own wraps are amazing and cheesy sweet potato wedges are also so good. Love that they count out all the calories and macros for you, makes healthy eating so much easier! Amazing place, well worth a visit. Only downside is juice selection in their fridge isn’t the best (would be good to have some more items like irn bru xtra, sprite, coke zero etc) but not worth scoring down for.

Not long moved to the area, fancied a nice, warm bacon and sausage sandwich. Service was quick and friendly, nice thick crusty bread. Hash browns were lovely too

Out on bank holiday and visited “Caulders Garden Centre “ and while their decided to have a meal in the delightfully decorated Cafe & Eatery staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had lovely meal of “Scampi” which was very enjoyable and Latte Coffee’s and we found prices very competitive. Finally had to use WC and was impressed with the cleanliness all round in this place. Would definitely recommend to give it a try

This is a brilliant coffee shop. I can’t rate it highly enough. Excellent baking and lunches. Staff are always friendly. More people need to know about this place. I come here regularly.

Inspired by the “EatDrinkHebrides” trail map, popped in to collect a picnic lunch during a Hebridean road trip. We had the most amazing toasties and hot chocolate. Handy for the ferry. Worth a detour!!

Personally my favourite place in the town. Food is the best quality and value for money. Really wanted to try Blody Mary - It is so tasty and made with smallest detail in mind.

We were greeted on arrival with welcoming smiles from the hosts and a head butt in the nuts by the very friendly dog Hector. The new kitchen upgrade has made a world of difference. With the array of freshly packets of snacks presented beautifully. The host also included some fresh herbs, but was unsure what to do with them. I'm sure the selection of new cookbooks will help. The fantastic oven and hob looked immaculately clean like it had never been used. I think the intention maybe to reduce cleaning by keeping it unused. The hosts and guests all enjoyed themselves, the atmosphere was excellent. Will have a return visit soon

Aruna Art & Gift Shop Dunure. Smashing wee gift shop, Aladins cave of bespoke gifts right on the harbourside. Spent a while going through the stock and picked up some cracking Christmas gifts. Well worth a visit. The lady who own the shop is very nice and extremely helpful.

Brilliant cafe. Amazing good. Friendly service. Well worth a visit. Had the full English breakfast which was really good. Good quality ingredients and really reasonable. Great selection of cakes too.

Such a wonderful shop that takes you back to your childhood with old fashioned sweets plus all your classic modern day sweets……there must be over 500 different sweet lines! It’s certainly not an easy choice to decide what you’re having! They also do absolutely fantastic ice cream milkshakes…..they are a must try! My daughter loves the smoothies. American sodas & drinks available. Fresh local fudge. Locally supplied ice creams. Friendly smiling staff a truly wonderful experience

Very nice sandwiches on granary bread - large and tasty. We had the egg mayo and tuna mayo. Friendly and efficient service. Recommended!

Another visit to Southampton and so another fish and chip dinner. Perfect fish, light batter, and double cooked chips!
