The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

I have visited the Romiley Arms with my family on many occasions and always given good reviews based on the service and experience. Previous managers knew us and made us feel really welcome. You will be able to see several of these reviews dating back a number of years here on my TripAdvisor account. On this occasion I contacted the Romiley Arms using the Greene King booking service for a family get together to celebrate my son in laws 30th birthday. Everything appeared in order, I organised a cake for the event and the guests who had accepted the invitation were all notified, only to be contacted online just before the booking (good job I checked!) and be told that there were limited menu choices available due to a shortage on a delivery. I then phoned the restaurant and explained that the few main meals that were ‘available’ did not included vegetarian or vegan options and most of my party had these dietary needs. I was told sorry, there was nothing available for them other than corn on the cob! I asked if anything could be sourced for them in time for our booking and was told no. I then had to rush to cancel the booking and find a suitable alternative venue for everyone. Other than a ‘sorry’ on the phone I received no other contact or expression of empathy / apology for the inconvenience. We will never return to the Romiley Arms.

Afternoon tea, was amazing huge selection of sandwiches and cakes which were delicious 🥪🧁 😋. Friendly welcoming hosts. Excellent service was given to all 15 of us with individual vegetarian and gluten free options being served. 👏 😆 Only thing I would recommend is being able to choose tea or coffee rather than only tea being served. You have to pay separately if you want coffee. ☕️

Absolutely wonderful Lamb roast dinner. BELL the waitress was so helpful. DESSERT GORGEOUS. Excellent staff friendly atmosphere.

Best cinnamon square I have ever tasted! We purchase yearly for a birthday and will continue to do so as they are delicious.

excellent chippy food is outstanding and flavourable and good portions

We make a special visit from Edinburgh to this Restaurant 5/6 times per year, the food is very good although expensive. I ordered and paid for Fish & Chips and Greek Salad with Keish ? for my Wife, with our drinks.£32.00 The young Man came to our Table to advise there was no Keish ? left. My Wife re-selected Greek Salad with Prawns & a portion of chips I was asked to go to the Counter with the Young Man to adjust the order and was asked to pay 95p difference between the cost of the Prawns against the cost of the Keish ? which I did The food was delivered to our table my Fish & Chips arriving first, my Wife advised that I start my meal while it was hot. My Wife's meal arrived and She was enjoying the Greek Salad but there was no Prawns. I was asked to go to the counter to pay for Prawns which had been omitted, I refused and my Wife had some of the salad, the meal was spoiled for her. No Prawns were offered. This spoiled our visit & our day out! She Managed to spend a further £35. in their shop. No more visits to this venue, complaint very badly handled.

The staff made us very welcome as soon as we arrived. Check in was very easy. Service and food excellent. Our room was spotless a d extremely comfortable. I will definitely stay here again when flying from Bristol airport.

Stopped off for a Sundsy morning breakfast and was pleasantly surprised whagt. good visit we had. A traditional large, spacious and clean cafe with out door seating perfect for sunny weather. i had the halloumi, sujuk, egg & tomato breakfast and it was delicious. So much so I’ll be back for the same for the good value and generous portions. Friendly table and counter service, clean toilets and a good pit stop if you are near Petts Wood Railway Station

Perfect dropbright of HPA with a Perfect Sunday lunch. Will return ASAP. Staff and owners made us so very welcome credit to you all. Jeffreo

Llamamos para tomar un café a media mañana, ya que esta cafetería estaba frente a nuestro hotel, donde acabamos de registrarnos. El interior estaba un poco frío, ya que la puerta parecía estar más o menos permanentemente abierta. El café estaba bien, pero caro. Se incluyó un cargo por servicio que llevó el precio a £ 8. 74 por dos blancos planos.

Loved this bar, and service was excellent! It's n a great location, right next to The Doubletree. Daryna was so helpful! I was not very familiar with the wine choices, and she helped me choose the one closest to my taste. It was delicious. Thanks so much, Daryna! We will definitely come back again! 💖

This is our go to beach for family get togethers. Plenty of parking, loos, stunning beach and the brilliant venus cafe! Great coffee and milkshakes. A bee line is always made for the delicious pastys and the fish and chips are great quality and very tasty. There is plenty of choice for veggies and vegans as well as meat eaters. Everything is locally sourced and ethically produced., which makes it taste even better 😋. The staff are always so friendly and helpful even when they are run off their feet busy. This is a great place.

We returned to The Grand last night after an extended lockdown for us, and from the minute we entered the lounge it was sheer bliss. The calm, sumptuous seating, overlooking the sea is just so wonderful for the soul. Fab service. Drank our aperitifs and just relaxed. We then decided to have a meal in the restaurant, again a beautiful room, a warm welcome from the staff, and another beautiful sea view. Food was delicious, every morsel, scallops beautifully cooked. Portion size perfect. Wine list very well chosen and the red we had was excellent. Such a blissful night.

I was treating a friend to an overnight stay near Chester with the first day being spent on a shopping spree in the city, something that was long overdue thanks to the covid lockdown. I tried to find somewhere a little different for us to eat that lunchtime as the restaurant we would normally use had sadly closed permanently. We found this a rather unusual place and opted for the tapas style small plates. With hindsight, we should have ordered less than we did as the portions were larger than expected. The decor was a little odd and not particularly to my taste. The service was fairly attentive without being over the top and as far as we could tell, all covid guidelines were followed.

Food very good but expensive,£ 8 for a sandwich.Waited a long time for the order to arrive.The ladies serving were efficient. However,it's not nice to see the staff eating chips and drinking behind the counter.I work in the food service industry,we have to have our drinks out of sight,in the kitchen area,which is as it should be.
