The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Absolutely loved this place. A very warm welcome to me and my two dogs and the finest hand dived scallops I’ve ever had in my life. A bit of a drive to get there, but what a location - stunningly beautiful and peaceful. I will definitely be back when I return to this part of the world. Thank you

Lovely afternoon tea. The staff are so helpful and accommodating the food is very tasty and filing. I will definitely come back here x

Fantastic place to eat and drink. Lots of great offers on food; roast dinners, fish and chips and the scotch eggs all deserve a special mention. All of the staff are very hard working, helpful and professional. The management have recently helped raise money for a disabled swing to be put in to a local park with a raffle, which is really nice touch doing things like this for the local community. I have only good things to say about this place. Different nights karaoke, quiz and singles etc, good beer and atmosphere. A fab place and a credit to the two hardworking owners 👍

This would definitely be a five star from us in the past, however we are a little concerned now that the hotel has been taken over by a larger group of hotels. We have been coming here for over ten years, and the hotel and owners have always made our stay very special. They were a tough act to follow. We were a little concerned knowing they were planning to leave, so on our most recent visit enquired as to what the current situation was. The staff are all the same and so is the chef, so thats good, but there were quite a few little things missing that we had noticed. In addition, on one evening a course was not available ( even though the hotel was quiet ) plus three different wine choices were unavailable. This never happened with the previous owners. Sadly, when a group take over a hotel, it loses the personal touch, and we are concerned the bean counters will change it a bit more over the coming months. We will keep an eye on here for updates and other comments before considering our next visit, but sincerely hope it stays unique.

Local here and visited a few times. Food is great especially Cheeseburger fries and Sticky cluckin burger. Food comes out really fast and has always been perfect. You do need to book and come hungry!

Polish cafe, with both national and English options. Very welcoming.

Not been for a long time, but today decided to pop over for a breakfast. I ordered the 8 item breakfast and you can choose any items you like to make it with. I choose... 2x Bacon with were good soze pieces and very lean. 2x Sausages which were thick and meaty with just a hint of Cumberland taste. 2x Eggs 1x Hash Brown cooked until crisp outside but still tasty and fluffy on the inside. 1x Fried Bread, thick sliced and crunchy outside but not at all greasy. By far the best I have found in a long time. Service was fast and polite. The lady in charge found time for all the customers from a greeting at the door to advice on the menu and then some pleasantries to make you feel a valued customer. Free chilled water saved you adding a bottle to your bill. This is excellent value, especially for Birchington High Street.

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.

Popped in here at the start of a visit to Melton Mowbray and it was a great start. Good food and coffee supported by a lovely friendly welcome. Service was good and the cakes are superb. Well worth visiting if you’re in the area.

I had heard that Audrey's Fish Bar was one of the best chip shops around. Today, I got to see what all the hype was about and popped in for some good old fish and chips! I can now confirm that all the hype was on point. Fantastic food, in a traditional chip shop setting and served by a friendly couple who clearly know what their doing! I will be back for more of Audrey's delicious food.

Really good coffee. The cake I ordered was lovely too. So pleasant to sit by the canal on this sunny afternoon after a trip through Civil War history.

Food was incredible, service as well. Had a pre-birthday dinner here & nothing disappointed! Will definitely be back

The hot beef is the absolute best sandwich I've ever had! The staff are really friendly and welcoming, its great to see somewhere like this doing so well

¡Absolutamente brillante! Hemos comido aquí por 3 de 4 noches! Comida increíble, servicio excepcional! ¡Karl fue excepcional! ¡Gracias! Sin duda volveremos de nuevo!

Another amazing evening at the Gateway. We were excited to try Sam's Taste of the Far East and it didn't disappoint in fact it was probably our favourite meal at the Gateway yet. The atmosphere was lovely and we felt spoilt throughout the evening. The flavours were fabulous and the presentation was another 6 star. If you haven't been then you should get on the mailing list and book for there next pop up.
