The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Recently refurbished, Looks fantastic, The drinks are reasonably priced and in excellent condition.

I’m not joking you, I have never in my entire life had a breakfast sandwich as good as the one here, food and drink wise this is probably my favourite place to go when I’m happy to have an unhealthy day, but even for a black coffee or something the vibes in here are excellent! Unfortunately it seems to be closed indefinitely, I really hope it’s not closing down because it would be a massive shame to put it lightly!

Some of the taster menu was amazing. The presentation excellent. The staff superb. The toilets immaculate. The value for money second to none. And for all those reasons you should go. But I am picky. Some was so so. The filo pastry with goats cheese and beetroot should be lush with flavour but ended up tasting of salt and was bland. Others just were, well, nice. The decor is 90s tired. Which is fine but for a taster experience, food, lighting, atmosphere, smells all contribute to that. It's just not quite there. Almost but not quite. The dead dried flowers should be binned as it's not in keeping with a classy place but more an 80s feel. For the covers they are probably one staff member short. So that napkins can be folded when a customer goes for a wee, and water topped up. Instead two great staff are stretched. The place deserves success. The staff are doing a great job and the chef is doing wonderful things with duck and blackberries. And the custard desert. Wow. Just wow. It just needs a smidge more consistency, a spruce of the decor, an extra staff member and a tweak to some of the courses to go from good to excellent.

A lovely take away and cafe,in a fascinating old building We stopped here for coffee and a cake on our journey. Delicious cakes and excellent coffee. Faultless friendly service, fast and efficient. All the locals come here for their bread and lunchtime food. ! We thought it was brilliant!

What a gem! Dining at this student-run restaurant was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, you could feel the passion and dedication behind every detail — it’s clear these students are not just learning, they’re thriving. The menu was creative and thoughtfully put together, with bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and a real sense of culinary curiosity. Every dish felt like a showcase of talent and teamwork. I was genuinely impressed! Service was just as lovely — professional yet friendly, with staff who were clearly proud of their work and eager to make the experience special. The atmosphere had a great energy too — relaxed, fresh, and full of promise. It’s so inspiring to see the next generation of chefs and hospitality pros in action. I’ll definitely be back — and cheering them on every step of the way!

A quirky little cafe that provides simple, quality food with excellent service.

We called in for a beer and enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast at the Pinnacle on father's day. Good beers on tap and really good tasty Sunday roast. I opted for the lamb roast and everything was freshly cooked to high standard. The homemade mint sauce was awesome and perfect to go with the lamb roast. I would have liked to try a dessert but felt full have a starter and Sunday roast. Friendly guys that run the place, if we get back to cowling I would definitely eat and drink here again. Thanks

Great chippy..chips are to die for all top notch.. staff and owner a pleasure to deal with ..

Best fish & chips in the local area by a country mile! Fresh fish every time. Friendly customer service and excellent lunch time deal.

Been wanting to go here since they opened, finally got a table. Heard and read great things about this place. I can see now why it's got such high praise and why it's worth waiting to get a booking. From the moment we entered the place was so inviting, the service was excellent. As for the food it was incredible, not one bad course, I opted for the extra course of pheasant, which I'm so glad I did it was one of my favourites. I've been to quite a few tasting menus and this was up there as one of my favourites. The place has a lovely homely family vibe, the chef/owner came out and chatted to us about one of the courses and we ended up chatting for a little, really nice guy. This is such an amazing addition to Urmston and deserves all the success. Get booked in and you won't be disappointed. We will be returning for the next convenient available slot. Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. The food is incredible we went on Sunday for there Sunday roast and it was amazing, every element was off the scale. I'd go for the three courses as the portions aren't huge but well balanced.

Best cafe around! I refuse to go elsewhere and the fella who runs it is a lovely guy too. Must try!

Popped along for the first time one Wednesday morning, greeted with a friendly hello. My husband and I sat outside and nothing was too much bother; food brought out plus takeaway bags if needed. Great food and value too!

Fantastic little tea room. We had an amazing and light cheese scone and donut. I highly recommend visiting if you are in Dunster and want tea and cake!

Clare’s cafe is a wonderful place to eat and chat. All the staff are very friendly knowing most people on first name terms. The food is always very good and full breakfasts are very popular. Jacket potatoes cooked to perfection in potato oven. Lots of people attend the cafe on a regular basis. Very clean very tidy and very welcoming. The meals are well worth the money. It can get very busy around 12pm with table bookings and take away food.

Lovely calm atmosphere and coffees are a great price. Will be stopping here whenever I'm in the area!
