The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

The chef's table our best restaurant to spent time. Food is amazing and atmosphere is lovely.

The tea room was shut last time we were in Allonby so we were pleased to see it was open. We were stopped from entering at the door in a slightly uncomfortable manner. We asked if there was a table for 2 which there wasn’t. We asked if there might be one later and were able to put our name down and to come back in half an hour. Our waiter was really polite and friendly but in general, the service wasn’t great and we had to ask for our drinks when we saw 2 tables who arrived and ordered after us and was clear ours had been forgotten about. Our table didn’t get cleared for a while despite several staff walking past and it was only when we grabbed the attention of someone and said we’d like to order cakes that it was finally cleared. The whole atmosphere wasn’t particularly friendly or nice. Unfortunately a disappointing experience and we wouldn’t go back in a hurry.

My friend and I could not find anywhere in the town centre for lunch and came across The Glass House by accident so decided to pop in. We were pleasantly surprised by the comfortable seating and privacy as we sat left of the door. Staff are polite and attentative. Food was freshly made, very reasonably priced and tasted fantastic!! A bottle of fizzy water cost £1.. Yes I know I was shocked too!! 2 x luxury panini, 3 huge slices of coffee & walnut cake, 1 slab of chocolate cake, pot of tea, hot chocolate and a 500ml bottle of fizzy water came to £18 Absolutely excellent place to eat and will be returning!! P.S we didn't eat all the cake, took some home for the boys

We were staying at the white horses hotel across the road but decided to pick up a takeaway breakfast so we could sit down by the beach. We went back for lunch and the cake and then breakfast the next day too!! The food is unreal!! The nicest breakfast I’ve ever had. The coffee is fantastic. And the cakes I will dream about……

Perfect place to sit and enjoy a coffee and a bacon sandwich, absolutely delicious, and very good value. Right by the sea…what could be better 🌞 🌊 ☕️ 🥓 🥪

Super little cafe, welcoming and well run. Dog friendly. Menu is limited however, if they're not too busy, other options are available on request such as full English breakfast. No obvious vegan options, other than toast. Oat milk available and gluten free bread. Freshly cooked food and really nice coffee. Full of locals, which is always a good sign!

First visit - loved it. Sunday lunch beautifully presented and delicious. Great atmosphere - although the music was a bit intrusive .A family with wailing child arrived about three quarters of the way though our meal -thankfully seated at the other end of the restaurant. While it didn't spoil our experience - a gentle observation: If one is spending Michelin star prices one does not want badly behaved children to spoil the experience.

Drove from an hour away on a sightseeing day only to have owners say there is no restaurant here. So then had to drive back the other way to go to our second choice restaurant.

This spot is honestly great. I order the beef burger fries and kebab fries and it was absolutely amazing. Perfectly balanced and wasn’t too much or too little. Recommend highly

Enjoyed my breakfast from here! Very delicious sausages and plenty of everything. Very well priced and served with a smile

A lockdown success story, this cocktail bar in the city centre boasts an impressive selection of delicious and original cocktails in a relaxed setting with great table service.

First visit. Lovely, helpful and friendly staff. Superb food and coffee. Not cheap but worth the money. Will definitely be back!

What a fabulous find this place is. Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and the food is exceptional. And I really do mean exceptional. The pies are actually made on premises and are packed to the brim with meat. None of your puff pastry lids floating on a sea of gravy here. The chateaubriand, cooked to perfection, was the best I've had anywhere. The vegetables were delicious. Stayed in the Desert Orchid room which has a large, very comfortable bed. The pictures tell you everything you need.(Recommended). We'll be coming back again soon, for sure.

Called in on a family day out. Can safely say it was the best Sausage, Bacon & Egg sandwich ever! The jacket potatoes were spot on too!

We had a wonderful afternoon tea with absolutely delicious apple scones. The perfect find after a long walk. It was a little drive from our visit to Branscombe but well worth it
