The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Decided to eat out as a short notice celebration. We chose The White Lion because our daughter liked the look of the options on the menu. Food was great and so was the atmosphere. Leanne, our server, was polite and very attentive. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Just had a drink but lovely pub

Friendly, warm and welcoming, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. The menu has a great variety of hearty options, and the portions are generous—definitely great value for money. Thank you to Sue who served us, and was polite and professional!

Excellent fish and chips too notch

These guys are under new management and they have just built a new outdoor cafe/bar area which is a great place to sit and make the most of the beautiful location. They were also super kind to a group of school children and spent five minutes filling up a lot of water bottles even though they didn’t have to. Will definitely return.

Awesome Pub, very nicely decorated with the biggest/nicest terrass of Leyburn. And oh!!! I was going to forget: beer is good!

I have stayed at the hotel so can't rate the rooms but have visited the bar. The 1664 was spot on, well done!

This place used to be so good, the food used to be amazing, today was the first time I've been back for well over a year, we ordered the roast dinner, and let me tell you that this meal was the worst roast I’ve ever had, the potatoes were dry with no flavour, the vegetable were so hard, I nearly broke my tooth, the cauliflower cheese was absolutely disgusting, such a shame, as this place used to serve such amazing meals, I would never go back and eat here again now

14th may 2025 Back again a week later....food great, service excellent ...friendly bunch of guys....very helpful....and no bagpipe music....well done! 7th may 2025 Impressive building in the lovely village of Blair Atholl. The Bothy Bar serves a good standard of pub grub with a comfy country style interior ,a roaring fire and excellent service. My only complaint is the twee bagpipe music on constant repeat!!! Doggies welcome too

Loved the fish and chips . Freshly cooked and tasted amazing. Not greasy either Thoroughly enjoyed it

Have stayed here a few times in the past few years. It is no doubt a hugely under rated place to stay. It is a matter of what you prefer, a hotel with modern facilities or one with a history . My wife and I chose the latter and enjoyed the experience of staying in this finest example of beautiful Victories Gothic accommodation, full of historical connects including the first ashored survivors being rescued from the sunk Titanic, the Shackleton adventure of Antarctic...

Location, location, location That's what this place is all about. Lovely place to enjoy a pint in the sun

Worst meal ever. 2 rump steaks tough and tasteless.

Great place to eat food and service very good. Dogs welcome. We visited Saturday & Sunday lunchtime both food menus were very good.

Really salty. Rude service. Fish batter is too crusty. This is meant to be large. I paid £15+ for all this. Not cooked fresh to order. Go next door! Avoid
