The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

I knew there was something wrong with my fish as soon as I opened the box. The shape and thickness of it to start with. Bearing in mind I ordered the LARGE fish lt was smaller than the regular sized where I come from further down the coast. As soon as I cut into the chewy batter and had a taste, I said to my wife 'this ain't cod and it doesn't taste like haddock'. Then I cottoned on later. I think it was tilapia, a substitute for cod that is supposed to be more sustainable and it's cheaper to obtain. That is why I will never be using this 'fish' shop ever again.

We arrived at this hotel for a wedding, on arrival I found it unusual to be asked for payment upfront? We were staying in the grounds, in a block of about 20 rooms (approx) The door to the lodge was entered by security fob. It soon became clear that the door closure was worn out, as the door slammed shut every time someone came and went, including drunk golfers at 2 - 3 am in the morning???? My room was the first one inside the door the door frame was connected to the wall of my room so the slamming door was annoying!!!! Three times I reported this problem to the receptionist (when I could find one) who promised to sort it, this never happened. The shower in my room was leaking into the bath for the duration of my stay (2 nights) I reported this also but again nothing happened. A family member had an executive room paying over £100 a night more than my room, when they arrived some of the wallpaper in the room had fallen onto the floor, damp was obviously an issue? Whilst on arrival the hotel seemed rather nice it soon become clear that all was not as it seemed (hence payment taken upfront). The staff were all young and lacked guidance or training the guy at breakfast was just damn right rude, if I hadn't been at a wedding I would have left and found somewhere else immediately. This hotel requires a good maintenance man, a full time receptionist as well as a manager. The other noticeable point was the reception, which was in a small office. The reception door spent more time locked than it did open. Even on the morning of leaving, the reception was locked, when I went to leave and discuss my complaint with someone, six sets of room keys were just left lying on the floor outside. When we tried to book our rooms the phone was never answered, the same with emails, now we know why, lack of staff. Nevertheless the experience of the Dower House Hotel, Woodhall Spa is over and I won't be returning.

omg i love ayla so much she's the best waitress give her a raise it needs to happen!!!!! #comingbackforseconds would definitely recommend for anyone craving a good munch

Amazing venue with roaring fire. Great staff. Top notch Fritata where egg yoke melted and amazing full breakfast 5/5. Tomatoes were roasted and egg, bacon and sausage very high quality. Latte was full-bodied. Well done!

Disappointed by the experience. Went for a wicked themed afternoon tea Basically this was a couple of pictures , theme tune playing and some plastic glasses etc on the table . Food wasn’t all homemade either ready prepared sandwich fillings , shop brought sausage rolls and Mac and cheese bites clearly frozen . The place looks fantastic but it was all pretty disappointing if I’m honest and not cheap

Food excellent. Good choice of beers. Above all, the staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Also, a beautiful garden next to the river - simply perfect location.

This cafe should change it name to the first and last . It was first time going and it be the last time we be going .it was that bad . The service was slow the lady taking orders was more entrusted to talk on her phone or smoking .didn't have a morning just a grunt . Took us 15 min to take are order . The best thing was the sun was warm .chips dry and bought in cheap beefburgs. Tomato sauce was cheap pink stuff .

The staff here are so helpful and friendly. I visited here not long ago the chips & sides where great! loved all the sauces available too. I really recommend here, such a lovely small businesses!

Called in for a coffee! as in the area. Had a bowl of chips as they looked good. Ended up with the most delicious ice cream, which is made by them. Staff lovely and will definitely go back when next in the area.

Tenga mucho cuidado con este servicio de catering. Reservamos esto para una despedida de soltera, que posteriormente fue cancelada por el anfitrión (debido a causas ajenas a ella). El reembolso se ofreció inicialmente, pero en cambio acordamos que lo reorganizaríamos para el año siguiente (debido a la pandemia de covid 19) y ella se quedaría con el dinero hasta entonces.Intentamos reorganizarlo en cuatro ocasiones distintas, pero no pudimos reservar con ella ya que estaba completamente reservada para 2021.Pagamos el 50% del depósito final (500), y nos ofrecieron la mitad de esto, ¡aunque ni siquiera había una fecha reservada y NO se proporcionó servicio! ! El recibo dice "no reembolsable", pero tenga en cuenta que no hay términos y condiciones adjuntos que sean sospechosos. Después de unas semanas extremadamente estresantes, logramos recuperar el 85%. Entonces, el 15% de nuestro dinero se gastó literalmente en nada. Los correos electrónicos que recibimos fueron extremadamente groseros, argumentativos y hostiles. Tenga cuidado al reservar con esta empresa.

Este lugar tiene una clasificación de higiene muy baja: el sitio web de Salud Ambiental dice que se necesita una mejora importante (vea mi captura de pantalla de su sitio). ¡Ten cuidado!

The food was cooked perfectly and it was full of flavours and cooked the way I asked to be cooked and it's filling as wish the had more to pick from

Smashing food as always. My poached egg to perfection and such kind and friendly staff. Looking forward to seeing what they prepare for my tea party in Saturday🫖 It’s so convenient I can give George a couple of my ideas, relax and he tops them every time!!

Un ambiente muy cálido y tranquilo , con una panadería y patisseri exquisita , música suave y charla muy amena
