The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We were already booked into the pub's accommodation (see separate review) and decided to book for dinner. With the splendid view of the working port and harbour why go further? The dinner menu in our room promised fresh fish and shellfish from the Scrabster Market opposite the pub. Catch of the day! Homemade fish pie! Both our preferences but we had a "plan B" for the mussels. Very disappointed that none of the above was available on the menu in the restaurant which on the whole was quite different from the one in our room. We settled for the salmon dish which was on both menus and a special of the day lasagna. Both excellent, well cooked, generous and quality ingredients. We decided to have the Bloody Mary cocktail listed on the menu. Surprise surprise, you guessed it, no tomato juice. Our waitress Linda was a delight. Don't shoot the messenger as is said. It can't be easy running a fish restaurant in a fishing village opposite a fish market....Two stars would be vindictive, a deserved 5 for what we had, the view and crew, but 4 it is. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

I cannot recommend this place enough! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure every detail of our dining experience was perfect.

Pedí una hamburguesa vino rápidamente sabía muy bien definitivamente volviendo personal muy agradable estado aquí antes, así que volveremos

Good is always delicious from here. Once it was a little greasy but thats been one out of poss 10 orders.

We came here a few times while in the area and I was really impressed with the options. The vegetarian sausage roll and gluten free vegetarian sausage baps were both lovely. The gluten free vegan brownies are heaven too

Such an enjoyable lunch, enhanced by excellent service and the most delightful food... of course the superb wine selection available as a glass, large glass, carafe and bottle helped. Fantastic experience which I would recommend to anyone looking for something done differently and extremely well.

Have to say that the food was freshly made and tasted delicious. Tea for 4 with hot drinks under £50 was extremely good value. Cannot complain!

Myself and 3 Biker mates visited yesterday and were impressed by the changes made to the place. Full of interesting Motoring memorabilia for all Petrolheads everywhere! The young staff were friendly and attentive as well as being highly efficient in their jobs. The breakfast is at the top of the price range at £11.95, but it was cooked beautifully and the ingredients top notch. Great Coffee too! We had a great time and will certainly return. An excellent Bikers retreat!

We loved our first trip to Brightside. Great food and drinks, good value with superb service. And the best avocado bathroom :-)

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating our anniversary, and it couldn’t have been more special. My husband and I ordered the lamb burgers, which came with chips and a fresh salad—everything was absolutely delicious. The staff were incredibly attentive and welcoming. To our surprise, they treated us to complimentary sides and drinks in honor of our celebration, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We truly appreciated their kindness and hospitality. We’ll definitely be returning!

When we pulled up I thought the pub looked a little rough and looked like it needed some TLC but walking into the resturant side it couldnt have been any different, the staff friendly, the resturant decoration basic but lovely the atmosphere was lovely (louder in pub but next door but couldn't hear that) the service was great and the food that we were served was one of the best Indian meals in a long time in a resturant. we were not rushed and it was a lovely gem of a place to find.

Very expensive drinks madri lager £6.05 a pint no wonder pubs are dying. 50 minutes to serve food without being advised on waiting times ....all three plates had considerable difference in volume of food....and being a Sunday roast only a thimble of gravy

When we visit Yate we always like to go to Boswells the food is always lovely and the staff are always helpful. They have plenty of staff and they all seem to be happy in their work. Tables are always cleaned and when observing I see that the staff are always on hand to help people that need a hand taking drinks to their tables and anything they need. The restaurant has a lovely welcoming atmosphere and I liken it to a community meeting place. Lovely tasty food well cooked with a great choice and always a welcoming smile from the staff, which makes a huge difference to feeling welcome. Thank you to all I look forward to our next visit.

We called in for a couple of drinks about 6. The initial impression was nice. Greeted, we were asked if we were eating. As we weren’t, we asked where we could sit and as there was only a couple of people sitting at the bar and a family at a table, we were told anywhere that was free. The drinks were standard. We enjoyed our first pint relaxed and chatted. As we were finishing our first drink the barman came to ask if we wanted another and we were served and paid the tab he had set up for us. Before we were half way through that drink and deep in conversation, we were interrupted by a waitress who asked us to move from the table we were sitting at to a table and high chairs where another couple were already sitting at… to join them… as they wanted our table for another couple to eat at!!! It was not reserved when we had arrived. We had been in the bar for approximately an hour! It was incredibly rude and very embarrassing having to move across with our two dogs who were settlled under the table, gathering our coats etc. When I asked if the establishment was a pub/bar, the barman said it was but people were waiting to eat??? The restaurant adjoining the bar was empty! It was a really bizarre experience… Don’t go if you only want a drink… they will ask you to move half way through your drink!! Plus the food we saw coming out looked microwaved or deep fried! Yuck!

Called Dee Dee now Dogs allowed in Coffee and cake Very yummy
