The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Cosy little English village pub in Stansted Mountfitchet. We had the Sunday roast and it did not disappoint. Large portions reasonably priced. Staff were very attentive and we felt welcomed.

Great party nights with a fantastic atmosphere.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch with Exceptional Service We had a wonderful experience this Sunday lunchtime, 18th May. Despite arriving 35 minutes late, we were greeted with such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious—roast dinners, fish and chips, puddings, and drinks, all fresh, flavourful, and very reasonably priced. The service was outstanding, making the whole meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for great food, warm hospitality, and excellent value

Reúnase regularmente con un amigo aquí para el almuerzo - nunca decepciona y el personal es encantador. Normalmente vamos por algo en el menú especial pero el menú principal es igualmente bueno. Tenga cuidado - ¡los tamaños de las porciones son enormes! Un poco escondido en el Templo pero no muy lejos de la Vara. Muy recomendable.

Great good. Friendly service. Timothy Taylors. Live music Wednesdays.

Nice pub. Great outdoor space. Huge field out the back to let the kids run wild .

Primera visita y un ambiente agradable. El personal era muy amable y servicial. La comida era deliciosa y variada. Sin duda volveríamos de nuevo.

The only issue with the Hop Pole is - will it get too popular! Nearly mage me not review and keep it to myself! But it has to be recognised as one of the best Sunday lunches I have ever had in a pub (obviously home is different!) From the decor and ambiance to the service and the food - faultless Well Done all involved.

Popped in for Lunch, we knew they were open as the door was unlocked & the lights were on, but there was Nobody at home, no staff or customers. Eventually (10 minutes) after repeatedly calling out & wondering around the pub Mrs B found a female member of staff & we finally got served with a much needed drink. We also ordered 2 Toasties with Chips, which were Top Notch Toasties, very very enjoyable. The pub is a lovely little pub & would have easily have got 5 stars if the initial service/welcome had been there.

Nice quiet site with a short walk into town. Pub now closed unfortunately. Sign of the times I guess. Clean facilities on site with one toilet and one shower. (Only went in gents side). Fresh water, grey waste and elsan point on site too. Warm welcome by the owners and left to enjoy the area. Little bit of road noise during the day but this quietens down as the evening goes on.

We visited this pub for a wake. It was my first visit. The Red Lion is a lovely country pub with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Two quality ales were available and appreciated. The buffet food was excellent. The experienced landlord made a point of checking that everything had been satisfactory. I am not local, but have family within reach and will try to visit again.

Fabulous pulled-pork wrap today during the Sutton Courtenay Fun day. Great pub and well worth a visit.

Genuine country pubs like the Blacksmiths Arm in Everton are a rare thing these days. Great atmosphere, food, drink selection and front of house hospitality. Highly recommended.

I recently visited The Golden Eagle in Ashley Green with a group of friends, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was unbelievable—especially the Sunday roast, which was hands down the best I've ever had. Each dish was crafted with care, blending traditional British flavors with a modern twist. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for gathering with friends. The customer service was exceptional; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. It's clear that the team takes pride in providing top-notch service and cuisine. If you're in the Chesham area and looking for a place that offers delicious food, excellent service, and a cozy ambiance, The Golden Eagle is a must-visit. I can't wait to return!

Nice pub inside but average food. You have to order food at bar - even dessert and get your own drinks from bar. Not good if walking is difficult! I wouldn’t return. Prefer Fox and Hounds.
