The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Have seen this establishment on several YouTube reviews and have been wanting to try it for a long time. Every review I’ve seen was a positive one with some saying it’s the best fish and chips in Blackpool. Finally got the chance to visit for lunch one Tuesday in November. Upon entering we were warmly greeted. Show to a table. I’m currently having to use a walking stick sand I’m cautious about where I sit. The seats here are bench type and not bolted or fixed to the floor. I was shown to one which didn’t have another table / seat behind it and told this would give me more room. That was very thoughtful and a nice start. Menus were on the table and we quickly decided what we were having. My brother went with the haddock special. Fish, chips, choice of one side, slice of bread and butter and a drink for £14.75. I think that’s excellent value compared with many other places. I went for the King sized haddock with chips at £18.95 with a portion of curry sauce at £1.50 and a large coffee at £2.75. The waitress came back to say they had no haddock so would l like cod or they could do me two pieces of haddock. I stuck with the haddock. Again I thought this was good customer service to offer that option. Although I would have liked to have seen just how big the portion size was. Our meals took a while to come out. A sure sign they were being cooked fresh. Have to say we were very impressed. The chips were very good. and a good sized portion. The fish was excellent. Both of us agreed on this and felt it was the nicest piece of haddock we have had for a long, long time. Everything was piping hot. My curry sauce was nice. It had a subtle kick to it. However, I wouldn’t order it again. It masked the taste of my fish n chips and they were best enjoyed on their own. The curry sauce wasn’t really needed. We were asked on a least two occasions if everything was ok with our meals. Customer service was good. I don’t know if they do dessert as never looked or thought about it as we were both stuffed. A couple of tiny issues have stopped me giving it 5 stars. Neither of us enjoyed our drinks. My brother had tea as part of his meal. I had ordered a coffee separately. They have been served well before we got our meal so were cold by the time out meals arrived. I know I didn’t finish my cup. Just wasn’t enjoying it. Disabled access will be an issue for some. There are a couple of steps to get in to the place and it’s not the widest doorway. If you are in a wheelchair I think you will have problems. However, there are strong, robust rails at the entrance and the steps taking you into the larger dining area. Very helpful for those struggling with their mobility. Also I didn’t see a disabled toilet downstairs. The toilets are upstairs with a baby changing room as well. The staff on the whole were very friendly and obliging. Only let down by the guy on the till who took our payment. He didn’t seem to want to engage at all. So overall despite one or two small issues I’d have no hesitation in recommending the fish and chips here and would be more than happy to visit again. But best be quick as I read a few days back the current owners are looking to sell. They have set a high bar for any new owners coming in.

£480 TAKEN from MY BANK ACCOUNT!!! I booked this restaurant for myself and 2 of my sisters for Tuesday evening. When booking you are told that 48hrs notice of cancellation is needed. Not a problem, so I thought until we had to cancel. I tried to ring the Restaurant Sunday to advise of our cancellation . but there was no reply just a recorded message saying that they did not open until Tuesday at 10am and that the phones are not manned and no answer machine. We were in the middle of nowhere (deliberately) We were all staying at a caravan site about 10 miles away. from Padstow, therefore no internet service. I managed to get an email through on the Monday morning. I continued to phone in the hope someone may answer! No luck. I was charged for the whole meal not just a percentage but the whole lot. They refused to take into account the fact I’d rung numerous times. I have the proof. Poor show Paul.

Really disappointed. We been visiting Padstow for last 10 years and it’s used to be a friendly nice food place. But last few visits this holiday we absolutely disappointed. Ordered 2 cream teas, pasty and pot of tea, at the end was charged for 3 pots of tea because the brought big one (just because it’s 3 of us) but we ordered small at the first place. Pasty was reheated in the microwave, wet and old. Cream teas, one of the pot of cream was off, didn’t realised at the first place only after putting at one cone asked if it’s look normal and they said “sorry” and brought new cream pot, didn’t swap my waisted cone, so had one one. So unfriendly stuff. Only care about charge you and waiting for you to leave. As soon as we have finished eating, stuff was taken, didn’t gave as time to finish tea. Compare to few years ago when it was warm and friendly place and now its went down the hill, we won’t visit this place again. That is a shame all people care now a day how to over charge and not even trying to smile, most of the people here on holiday and places like this just a big disappointment.

I have got the most delicious burger of my life here! It was juicy, very tasty, and - I am 100% sure - cooked with care! If there was a sofa, I would have slept till morning!:) Recommended, most definitely!!!

First time last night, with family that have been before, wot a great place, food was excellent, staff very friendly and the irish coffee for lush, will definitely be back

A lovely taster menu with well-sourced produce, kept coming quickly so 10 courses didn't stretch out. Well-chosen wine accompaniments.

We recently enjoyed a gathering at Y Sgwar with a group of 24—12 adults and 12 children—and it couldn’t have gone better. From the start, Lorraine and Cassy were incredibly helpful in organising everything, making sure our large group would have a smooth experience. Their suggestion to pre-order our meals worked perfectly, allowing everyone to settle in and enjoy themselves without any delay. The food was fantastic—beautifully presented, served at just the right temperature, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and it was clear the kitchen took great care with each one. Both the adults and children had a variety of options that were truly enjoyed by all, adding to the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Our thanks to the team at Y Sgwar for helping to make this gathering a memorable one for the group. We look forward to coming back! — Steph Macnab and the Uber Family

Went for Afternoon tea. Food was amazing waiters were very good. Clink staff however were quite rude to us and the waiters. Not a good look and put an unfortunate sour note on the day.

Excellent Sunday lunch. After trying many restaurants in pembrokshire this is by far the best Sunday lunch in the area we have had.

Love this place to have breakfast: Great Dishes, many options and kind service.

Fabulous restaurant. Warm and welcoming ambiance, delicious food beautifully presented and superb, attentive service. Top of my list of favourite places to dine.

Lovely place. The service was friendly and a warm welcome. The food was excellent 👌

The service, the food, all good, but not great. The scallop starter with black pudding was delicious, the main course of Belly Pork was mediocre and the cheese course with two pieces of cheese was less than impressive. With wine, peroni and a glass of whiskey the bill of £175.00 for two people was far too excessive for what was on offer. We have dined in Michelin star for far less and this place just didn’t hit the spot for the cost.

Came here with my husband for lunch last Sunday afternoon. We both ordered the ham, egg, and homemade chips, which were lovely and very filling. (The chips are to die for.) We both had a latte, which was hot and delicious! We've never been here before, as it's in an area where there are several cafes and bars that we've always walked past but never been inside. It looks like it's popular with the regular customers, too, as it was fairly busy when we arrived. Will definitely be coming again when we visit New Brighton.

This is a great place for lunch. The food is always excellent (only 2 dishes per day - meat or vegetarian, though they also cater for vegans if requested). Nice atmosphere and staff. Booking absolutely essential.
