The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

You can always tell a good chippy by their chips this one is definitely tops for me chips so wrll done

A nice tasty lunch for the family in cosy surroundings with friendly service. All enjoyed the soup and toasted sandwiches. Some lovely looking cakes too though we didn’t have room on this occasion.

i booked a table to eat pizza and they didnt let me know before that there was no pizza dough for pizzas. soggy undercooked chips really didnt help either

Unfortunately we felt on this occasion the food really was not up to the usual standard - whitebait over cooked - chips not their usual crispy delicious standard - but everyone has an off day and we said it would not deter us from returning HOWEVER we found out as we were leaving that after 14 years of trading the Orchard is due to close at the end of September 😔 So sad as , as a family some who are no longer with us it was always are “go to” place for a good quality home cooked meal . So what ever the owners plans are for the future we wish them good luck 😋

Lovely venue- came for a picnic with our 2 grandsons, one has special needs, we asked the staff if they minded us having a drink outside and eating our own prepared picnic. We were quite prepared to buy some drinks! We wanted to be able to enjoy the outside and not stress out our grandson or cause any disruption inside. She said no, it's licensed premises....we eventually found a bench near the lake- no table, we managed but it was not ideal. There were no shortage of tables......pity a little more consideration could have been given to those less fortunate....

What a cracking lovely little pub , everyone so friendly, motorcyclist friendly

Hadn't been here since it changed its name. Strange sort of entrance with a lot of steps. Very very dark back room. Still, staff were friendly and drinks were reasonable!

We love Scarlet's kitchen! One of our favourite places to visit when we come to Tavistock! The staff are always friendly. Nothing is ever too much trouble. It's clean, light and has a very welcoming atmosphere. The food is always super tasty and having a fussy eater they've always accommodated her! There's a lot of choice available and the price is great value for money.

This is a quintessentially English village pub. My wife and I go there from time to time and would go more often if the food was reliable. The beer (Arkell's 3B) is well presented and delicious; the service good and friendly. It's the unreliable kitchen that so often lets this pub down. On our last visit, the day and regular menus were dominated by fussy, insubstantial choices so we opted for something more traditiional: steak and kidney pie and fish and chips. Unfortunately, when my wife broke into her ramiken sized pie with its thick layer of dense pastry, she discovered a brown slurry with 2 small pieces of meat. I had the same experience a few month's ago with a venison pie. It was quickly exchanged with apologies for a fish and chips. Like mine, the latter looked appetising, with a good sized portion of fresh fish in nice batter. The problem was that the whole meal, chips included, was strangely devoid of any flavour. Moreover, it appeared to have very poor nutritional properties as we were both very hungry again 2 hours later. I saved the day by thawing some roast duck and home made plum sauce that had been in the freezer for 3 years. With freshly cooked rice and broccoli it was delicious and we were still satiated when we retired for the night!

My friend & I visited at lunchtime today. This place is a true gem 💎 ... There is plenty of outside seating, either in the shade or full sun. The shop inside area of the cafe is very spacious too. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and there was plenty of choice. 😋The mozzarella, tomato, and pesto toasties were excellent. I had a decaff latte and a ginger beer with chilli 🌶 . My friend had a mushroom and hummus sandwich, cappuccino, plus a dandelion and burdock 🥛☕️ .. I'll definitely be revisiting. The toilets are up a flight of stairs. I presume they have a disabled toilet, too ? The upstairs facilities were nice and clean. Always a bonus 😊 Many thanks

We were there during the Haal festival and the restaurant was very efficiently run and the food was great.

Held an event for 50 people there, and honestly, it couldnt have gone better. The staff were amazing - incredibly helpful. The venue was perfect. Will be returning lots!

Ordered a takeaway for delivery in the evening. Incredibly switched on, for price and the delicious food that was delivered ahead of their expected delivery time. My wife thought it was the best Indian food she’d had since visiting India many years ago. I agreed, and we eat Indian food often in the UK and Spain.

Came to celebrate our fathers 84th Birthday and had Sunday lunch, the food was wonderful, very tasty and will definitely be visiting this pub again, happy to recommend to family & friends, the staff were friendly and polite and the overall atmosphere was perfect, such a pretty pub in a beautiful area

First impressions were that it was very quiet for a Friday evening. Not 1 person in Bar and just 3 tables in the restaurant (9 people). Menu was completely different online and we were advised it was new management. Seemed a very Basic menu. Ordered 2 Gammon, 1 Regular Burger & 1 Lamb Burger. Onion rings. Cheese garlic bread. Asked the waitresses if there was any sauce on the Lamb Burger her reply was 'No'. Advised that I could have 'No sauce whatsoever' . Her reply 'I will make sure' Food came and all looked nice. Gammon very undercooked. Went to cut Lamb burger in half to pick up and sauce absolutely oozed out. Not slightly but lots. Showed the waitress who said she was very sorry and would deal with it. Meal was back within minutes. Same burger as previously as the original cut was still there. THE CHEF HAD WIPED THE SAUCE OFF THE BURGER and put it in a fresh roll. Had to send it back as I'm not able to eat red sauce/relish ect. All food was left as the others were not even asked if there food was ok and it upset the whole table. Asked to speak to the manager and was advised he was busy. When we asked for the bill and advised we wouldn't be paying for the burger he appeared. Unfortunately he couldn't' see what was wrong with the situation. Didn't understand that wiping the sauce off was an issue and could have made me very Ill. Total bill £69.
