The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

The food was awful. Clearly pre prepared, placed in a bowl then microwaved when needed. I had Teryaki Salmon on sticky rice. Hardly any sauce, rice was dry and salmon severely overcooked, infact hard and dry. I ordered a side of green vegetables which were practically raw! Will never eat there again!

After reopening again in 2023 after its closure in 2022 everything seemed to be going well until late in 2023 when despite not having any information that it had closed, it shut one night never to reopen. No notices in the windows. No announcement like last time to tell their loyal customers that they'd decided to close down. And now it seems it HAS closed down & is being turned into flats! Well, there's a lot of unhappy people from over the last 30 years who would have liked to have been told 😔 Bad form Chip Ahoy....

Had a cup of decaf cappuccino which was half foam so only half a cup of actual coffee. My partners ordinary cappuccino was ok. I took mine to the counter thinking perhaps the machine was playing up and the assistant said, that’s just how it comes, and very rudely walked away and out the back before I could explain. The coffee was actually very nice, what there was of it.

It was £15 for 3 courses, what can you expect, but seriously it was even worse that you could imagine! Buffet style, self service, we had supposedly leek & potato soup like dish water packet soup, never been near an leek or a potato, leather pork chops, yellow veg curry, frozen soggy mixed veg and clumpy white rice, no potatoes were main course options. Desert was some kind of apple cake or a bright pink cheesecake, no cream, custard or ice cream, so very dry. Everything was tasteless, but I guess it filled a whole

Popped in for a Sunday lunch with my partner as we driving past on the way to Clumber park. Staff was very polite and friendly. We both had Sunday lunch with the choice of beef or turkey or both, we had both and it didn't disappoint. Plenty of meat and good choice vegetables, lovely home made Yorkshire puddings and plenty of gravy. For desert we had chocolate and raspberry fondant which was also vey tasty and filling. Would definitely recommend. 9/10 trip out, my only criticism would be the lack of card services. As currently they have no card facility's just cash only. However the lovely woman that was serving said that they was looking into getting this. Will be returning again once in the area.

The staff are welcoming, super friendly - the food was really nice. I was annoyed I didn’t have my phone on me to take photos but I had the rump steak (medium rare) and it was cooked to perfection. My mum had Lincolnshire sausages and mash which she said was lovely and really tasty. We both had dessert, I had the cheesecake and my mum had Baileys Crème Brûlée. Cheesecake was nice, my mum said the Crème Brûlée was really nice but too sweet but everyone has a different sweet tooth. I would highly recommend this restaurant, you won’t be disappointed (hopefully).

Went a few months back for some drinks after going to the cinema. We all sat outside because it was lovely weather, much like the service! So many drinks to choose from, we struggled to make up our minds we wanted to try so much. I had a fruity cider, and it was really nice. Chap on the bar was lovely, saw some girls working making sure everywhere was clean and tidy so they definitely care about making sure the place is in good shape. Definitely would go again

Been here several times, staff are friendly and the food is lovely and they even have GF vinegar. Would recommend.

Paul and Fari are such nice friendly people. The bread making day was superb, as was the lunch and other refreshments. We feel we not only learnt a new skill but made two great friends. Absolutley well worth the time and money.

Beautiful little cafe. Lovely coffee and bacon sandwich to put us on for the rest of our long journey. Perfect little pitstop.

I went with my wife and Belgian Malinois dog to this pub that did food, the menu is good and not overly complicated, some good hearty food available that is freshly prepared for you, this means you are waiting a little for your meal but if you want fresh food this is what happens and we did not mind at all. The hosts are very pleasant and attentive, I found the drinks extremely reasonable and the soft drinks as I was driving below what you would normally pay at other venues which I think is great for the designated driver. The food we had was lovely, I had a freshly made steak and ale pie with mash and vegetables and my wife had scampi with chips and a salad accompanied by tartar sauce. They meals are plentiful and filling but if you can manage a starter or pudding these are available too. It is a very dog friendly pub and the lady behind the bar gave our dog a treat after asking if it was ok, I think she made a friend for like lol. If you are at the watermill leisure park it is less than 5 minutes drive and is well worth the visit. There seems to be quizzes on a Thursday and Friday and Bingo on a Sunday, there seems to be a lot of locals that is always a good sign, locals call it the Sali, well worth a visit if in the area.

Upon arrival I thought the restaurant waa about to shut given the attitude of the fair haired waitress behind the counter. I asked for soup...to which "none left" was the abrupt reply. I offered my voucher which i was told would have to be converted into a code or I couldnt use it...again abruptly. Whilst awaiting my food another couple walked in who were warmly greeted by the same waitress. The food was ok but pricey for what it was. I left feeling less than happy with the whole experience.

The restaurant is lovely, set in the cloisters, the staff are attentive, very smartly dressed and the quality is good – possibly bordering on very good. However, the prices are now top end and higher than many London restaurants, for example, a fillet steak with a sauce and chips is priced at over £55 and this is before you include the 12.5% tip. That’s too much. A modest three course dinner, with a glass of wine, is starting to nudge £100 a head. I fear they are pricing themselves out of the market.

Myself and a friend visited here for afternoon tea as a belated birthday treat. The service was exceptional, the food was very good and we loved the brand new teapots that don’t drip tea everywhere. We were made to feel incredibly welcome. Thank you to Maz for looking after us so well, a truly professional gentleman . We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were even given a small box each to take the remaining cake that we couldn’t eat home 😊

Mujer grosera en la caja. Nunca tuve ningún problema aquí antes, pero me dieron Mrs Eye - rollos la semana pasada 🙄 Todo fue demasiado problema! Desde añadir un pastel extra hasta cortar un bocadillo por la mitad 🙄🙄 ¿Qué pasó con un buen servicio al cliente?
