The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Only called to hotel for food and found a good offer of two meals for £20 and very helpful and friendly bar staff. Steak and Ale pie best tasted for a long time.

Very friendly Nice food good value for money

Went for a business dinner having preselected my dishes. They managed to get every single course wrong including both nuts and rocket visibly on the plate. They also have my colleague dairy in one course and gluten in another. Just don’t bother. Our team won’t go back, trust me

Fantastic service and menu. Impressed from the moment we arrived also by a knowledgeable and helpful assistant. We'll return for sure.

This is what I call a ‘proper’ pub. Quality beers, lagers and wine. No food, no large numbers of kids going mad. An absolute oasis of relaxation along with professional bar staff that make you feel welcomed and valued as a customer Simply the best around

Excellent meal and service. Great pub garden and place to enjoy the sunshine!

Quite poorly patio furniture good to with a good overhaul. Enjoyable lunch

We had 3 meals that were really large and well cooked lovely food.

Food was fantastic. Staff excellent.

Booked with Gina in advance and pre-ordered our main meals, as there were 13 of us meeting for a casual cousins lunch. Everyone was very happy with their meal choices and all were served together; lovely and hot; generous portion sizes; really delicious and amazing service. Puddings were great too - loads of GF options which was particularly impressive. Thank you so much!

Wow what a gem of a pub. Went this evening and was served by Scarlett. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and explained everything very well to my partner who is a coeliac. Both the food and service was incredible and I would highly recommend to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful date night we can’t wait to come back. Az & Daisy

Absolutely fabulous pub! The manager was lovely and couldnt do enough to help, and the food was delicious! They even made some garlic mayo especially for me and I have to say, it was the best I have ever had. Would highly recommend!

I recently had a lovely meal out at Golcar Lily and was really impressed. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing meal, yet still friendly and welcoming. The staff were fantastic—attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely warm and helpful throughout our visit. The food was great, with the standout dishes being the pizza and roast beef—both were full of flavour and cooked to perfection. And to top it all off, the views from the restaurant were absolutely stunning, adding an extra touch of magic to the whole experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good food in a friendly, scenic setting.

Unbelievable just how bad this was. One waiter trying very hard to do it all, but it took almost an hour to even get our starters. The starter was the much advertised and praised (oh yeah?) smoked haddock souffle. Which I suspect was a pre cooked topping of whisked egg, plonked on top on some smoked haddock with a spinach base, so not a souffle at all. Surrounded by a far too highly spiced sauce that did not complement the 'souffle'. Awful. Then another long wait for the mains. I had fish and chips my husband the hake. Both mediocre. As these are the new owners after new owners who never lived up to the previous owners, I would hope things will improve. They need to stop trying to produce 'fine-dining' that they cannot achieve and concentrate on well cooked pub food. I'll give it a year before we return and hope for the best. The pub has been fitted out nicely, shame no local photos and pictures have still not been reinstated. The waiter was excellent, but even with the reduced number of diners but him running the bar too, more staff are needed,

Please check your bill. We have been twice in the last 3 months and both times an extra £5 was added to our bill, in various ways. the first time a differnet meal was added to the bill instead of the one we ordered and last night our bill was wrong again, to the same amount. Both times this was sorted quickly but it should not happen in the first place, especially twice. Having said that, the food was lovely both times but we feel let down over the bills being wrong.
