The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Visited as a couple 7 March. We were staying in the hotel. Ambience was good. The eating area could perhaps do with a bit of updating but it is fine. Menu is a mix of pub classics and more adventurous dishes. I had one of the latter as a starter, Lamb Tagine Roll with harissa mayo and smoked aubergine purée. Very good. The roll had chunks of lamb and the mayo had a kick. Tasted and presented very well. I had steak and ale pie for main. Appeared home made with real chips. Again very good Mrs W had the pork belly which she enjoyed too. We had a very nice bottle of NZ Sav Blanc as well. Very good value.

We had a quick lunch here before the distillery tour. Wow, what a fabulous place for lunch. Lovely server, and all our dishes were delicious and felt like excellent value for money. The rarebit was Fantastic! Thank you so much 💓

A little cafe that does the job. Friendly staff and we enjoyed the veggie and regular full English breakfasts. My eggs were cooked perfectly as requested - thank you so much for that! Will return when in need of a good cooked breakfast!

My wife and I went for afternoon tea. I booked well in advance on a booking web site and requested a specific table which hasn't been a problem previoulsy. I called the hotel a few days prior to our visit to confirm they had us in the diary. On arrival people were at the table we had booked so we were seated elsewhere. Our table request was on the system but apparently ignored. There were reserved signs on other tables. When the sandwich and cake stand was brought out there were cakes on the top plate, sandwiches on the bottom plate and cream and jam on the middle plate. We only noticed this after the waiter had gone. I then had to check if the scones had been forgotten, but apprently not. You have to tell them when you are ready for the scones but they didn't inform us of that. There was no sugar on the table so with no staff visible I had to go to the bar and request it. We were asked if we wanted more drinks so my wife requested peppermint tea. Approx. 10 minutes later I had to go to the bar again and remind them. When it came to wanting the bill there were no staff visible so we went to the bar to pay as we were leaving. There was no obvious shortage of staff but there are areas of the restaurant that are out of sight of the bar where the staff seem to congregate. In my humble opinion the place just needs better managing with attention being given to the little details that make for good customer service. Hoping for a smoother landing next time.

Like a lot of food outlets these days, the emphasis seems to be very much on orders received online, to the detriment of customers who actually take the time to turn up in person. The 'service' that I received was basic at best i.e make your selection, pay your money then prepare to be totally ignored for the next 15 minutes. Just a thought ... how different would it be if you were to only pay for your order when you actually received it? The food (when it finally arrived), was mediocre with the fish portion being on the small side for the price tag. Chips were ok but nothing to write home about. Fanciful packaging, which I'm sure adds significantly to the price, doesn't make up for poor value and impersonal service. This outlet could be so much better but it really needs to look hard at its front of house customer service in order to lift that experience.

Went today for a couple of coffees, after waiting 5 minutes some young guy who had been folding napkins eventually wandered over looking most disinterested. I asked for 2 coffees and he said ' can't do hot drinks '. No apology or reason why. Needless to say with 2 other places nearby, West Park and The Waverley, where you feel welcome will not be coming back here.

Called to eat this year to find it is the middle of being demolished, inflatable bar at the rear at present, could not get answer to if it will be rebuilt, it was a spit and sawdust place but the roasts and other food was good, just hope they do put in a new pub with a very similar menu etc, time will tell.

GUAU. Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida el martes por la noche. Llegué tarde pero el restaurante cierra a las 2 am y el bar a las 4 am. Goody ... . El nuevo menú, ahora, tiene una buena selección de todo lo que disfruté de mi curry y a mi esposa le encantó su hamburguesa vegana. La pizza también se veía muy bien, pero la próxima vez. Buena relación calidad-precio y personal muy hablador. Fácil ubicación, una vez que lo encontramos debajo del arco hacia el Hotel Imperial. Volveremos

Var en tur i Calverley Grounds for en gåtur og da der kom en regn byge valgte vi at gå ind i denne lille hyggelig cafe. Her er servering både inde og ude. Hyggelig typisk engelsk. Flinke unge som var hurtige og vakse. Et fint tilbud af små retter, varmt og koldt og alt til meget rimelige priser. Vi valgte the og kager og hyggede os mens det regnede. Kan anbefales og vi vil helt sikkert gerne komme her igen.

" Gastropub " it says on their website....NEVER ! We went for Sunday lunch after reading how popular this place was on our local FB page.Not the nicest of dining areas , certainly not like their photos. Tiled floor , mis-matched furniture, more like a transport cafe for lorry drivers. The whole place is very rundown and drab , peeling wallpaper, damp patches etc. No starters available . Meat was tender and plates piled high but frozen soggy sprouts, cabbage with loads of stalk and nothing seasoned at all . Very bland .Not a good experience. We like to support local businesses but sadly won't return here. The staff were lovely but it needs a lot of money and a total revamp in order to survive . I hope it does!

Arrived and sat down on a comfy couch . After being ignored for several minutes managed to make eye contact with the waitress......the xtra large Eastern European one with bleached blond hair. I asked would it be possible to order and she abruptly replied " you order from the bar " turned her back and walked off . There is no signage to inform customers this is the protocol? So I walked up to the bar and she disappears knowing full well I wanted to order food ......bizarre/ unbelievable! After couple of minutes the other waitress took my order . Pleasant young girl with glasses. I ordered bacon & egg sandwich & coffee ......a few minutes later the sandwich arrived minus the fried egg . Few minutes later ( no problem mistakes happen ) the correct sandwich arrived with a request for me to go to the till after I finished to pay for the egg ! I have never ( I'm 64yo) experienced such rude ignorant behaviour in a restaurant. Hall & Woodhouse .......you should be ashamed employing such incompetent rude ignorant staff that can barely understand English and do not understand the meaning of the word service . The food was EXCELLENT but will not return .

This was my first visit to Meltham Fisheries, and the staff were really welcoming and friendly. I ordered a large fish with chips & peas, the portion size was huge. Given that I had a fair distance to travel home, the staff also wrapped my meal foil so that it stayed hot. At home the meal was still hot and the potion size was huge, the complete meal was high quality and cooked in my opinion to perfection. I really enjoyed the food, especially the fish which was huge. I will certainly be visiting this shop again in the future. I cannot fault the service and quality of the food.

While it is a bit more expensive than other places we always eat here when in London. My family had the Sunday roast which was very good and not too expensive and I had the beautiful afternoon tea. It was lovely and a great experience.

Je pense que notre room service provenait de ce restaurant et à chaque fois c était délicieux , service rapide , rien à dire c était parfait

This is our fourth visit to Shetland, but the first time we've managed to find the hotel open for lunch. Friendly greeting, and we were told (almost apologetically) that they were 'only' doing sandwiches and soup for lunch. Have always wanted to eat here so we opted for the sandwiches. The guy behind the bar apologised that it would take a while (there were a few people in the hotel and only one member of staff in the kitchen). All I can say is that we won't be eating until very late tonight, if at all! Lovely sandwiches/toasties, a very large helping and good value for money. We both said we couldn't eat it all, but it was so good and nicely prepared that we felt it would be rude not to. It looks as though the hotel is undergoing a big refurbishment, so good luck to the owners, perhaps we'll plan a visit in the future and stay here. Brilliant, thank you.
