The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Tasty breakfast just what the Dr ordered. Friendly staff and very welcoming. Definitely worth a try guys, won’t be disappointed.

We`d just finished a Croughton circular walk, and needed "refreshment" afterwards. One of the locals said hello as we walked in. Staff were friendly, and there was Tribute, Wainwrights and Directors on tap. I went for the Directors, which was very good. The menu was on the wall, and was varied, lots of it homemade, and great value for money. Sadly, we`re quite a drive away, otherwise it would be become my local. Note to self: have a meal BEFORE going on Croughton circular walk.

We waited more than an hour to be served a frozen fish (allegedly fresh sea bass) and chicken tonight with boiled rice (allegedly delicious butter chicken curry). Other diners were experiencing similar delays and disappointments. Sparkling water was Aldi branded and charged at 2.80 GBP, wine was not great. The waitress was clearly embarrassed. Decor is bonkers. Fawlty Towers eat your heart out!!! If you have any other options, I’d avoid this one!

Beautiful outdoor indoor restaurant just off the Kings Road in Sydney St. Hidden gem in Chelsea because the courtyard is just beautiful! Food is great and the service is always spot on!! We will be back again.

We had a great Sunday brunch here The restaurant was full with a great atmosphere, but still felt refined and not “busy”. You could have a conversation without needing to shout which is never a given in London restaurants. Food was good and arrived quickly. There is a good variety on the menu and everything we had was done well. We thought the portions were generous and overall the menu offered really good value. Staff were a highlight - the host/maître d’ was really welcoming and friendly whilst being discreetly in control of all the details and all the waiting staff who dealt with our table were excellent. Highly recommend

Love this place. We were a group of about 25. Food was delicious, however they did struggle with such a large group with the food service. A couple of the group got their food when most of us were finished eating. But we understood and we still had a lovely time. Would like to give a shout out to Will behind the bar, so friendly and every time I went to the bar he acknowledged me straight away. Chatted while serving and went above and beyond. Also a shout out to Ruby who was also friendly and helpful, and made us feel so welcome. Will definitely be back.

I can't understand some of the reviews on here. I think people should review things based on reality. This is not Starbucks, Costa or Greggs. It's not Pret, McDonalds or Burger King either. It's a facility within a charity aiming to bring alive an era before these massive organisations had taken over our society. Manned not by highly paid executives rolling out strategy to beat the competition but run on a shoestring by volunteers and a few paid employees who are providing memories for a public who remember station waiting rooms and buffet bars exactly like the Signals cafe. This NOT a commercial operation, it is part of the exhibit of the railway buffet bars of the 40'-60's when a certain Dr Beeching took an axe to the railways which provided links to towns an villages throughout the country. Review it in the context of it's situation. To the women who were on duty when my family of 5 adults and 2 children called, thanks for providing us with the food and drinks which I remember from mainline and local stations operating pre Beeching cuts. It let us pass an hour in the type of buffet which was commonplace in my young days. Also gave me an opportunity to educate my youngsters over the life I used to live in and brought much of what they had just experienced in the steam journey from Whitby. A thorough authentic experience in keeping with the North Yorkshire Railway objectives To other reviewers who were less than appreciative of the reconstruction of the rail experience pre 60's, I suggest you volunteer your time and skills to one of the thousands of charities in the U.K. who are doing their best to serve their local communities. It might just help you come to grips with life and appreciate the work others do to help their fellow human beings.

The first time not reading reviews and I end up in a place that was dirty, full of cobwebs and smelling of damp. The place looked like it hadn't had a good clean in months. there were used cigarette butts in the tray with the cups? bowls. Used shower get probably from the previous occupants in the shower tray. And a snail crawling up the window. They advertised wifi but there was none and very difficult to get any reception. There was no restaurant and breakfast was a few boxes of cereal on a tray in the room, loose teabags, 2 yogurts in the fridge and not enough milk to last 2 of us for two days. Also a toaster but no bread.

Pre Christmas Lunch was all we expected form this cafe. A group of us went on Tuesday. We ate so much we couldn't face the mince pies. The steak was exactly as my husband like and all the other food was top notch. Thanks to all the staff, front of house and kitchen workers. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a reasonably priced festive meal. (If they have any room)

A friend suggested this little cafe. Didn't really know what to expect but loved everything I got. Service was great with the people behind the counter being very friendly.

For an all day breakfast this is the place for you. Friendly enough staff and good breakfast food. Availability on the lunch menu was a bit sketchy.

Very impressive hotel in an excellent location, but it is the staff that make this hotel something special. Two that really stand out are David, every inch the genuine Scott and a lovely man, and Rob an amazing and very multi talented man with boundless energy and a fantastic sense of humour. It is these people that bring us back time and time again.

The staff were friendly and the food at the retsaurant was great. The wifi, phone and TV reception was poor.

A lovely clean place ..friendly helpful fast staff...who make everyone welcome..food and drinks are always spot on....will always come back the this Costa coffee.....they have no problems with disabled children either ..well done

Stopped by chance during a circular walk. Good service and made to feel very welcome. The tea and coffee was appreciated as were the spotless WC! Will call again.
