The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We wanted a change of scenery from our local town, so looked at restaurants within 30 minute drive of our home. I have to say it was well worth the visit. We booked on line the day before. From the lovely warm reception, to amazing food. This was a great find. Great choice of food and drinks menu. We will definitely be back

This country pub has one of the best kitchens in the area. The food served Is good and the prices are reasonable for what you are getting. Parking can be a challenge when it's busy. I highly recommend trying their scotch eggs starters and the mushroom starter. Both are exquisite and unique. We had the steak and the lamb, the steak was a definite winner, while the lamb was not bad it was nothing special. The place is also dog friendly, there was lovely German Sheppard in there last time we visited :)

Fairly good ice cream. A smile doesn’t hurt, though 😄

Great little bistro. We went on tapas night (Thursday). 6 tapas just right for two. Very friendly servers (all women). Will go again.

When i thought i had found a hidden gem that no-one knew about. I couldnt wait to visit this restaurant!! But when telling my friends they all knew some one who had been, if not them. All good things, food x fab, staff x very polite seating x comfy. I just love it. Beautiful inside and out. 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶

I have just read the managers new reply. OMG, shocked. I think the tone and the fact that my mobility issue had to be on show for all to see is an insult. As we were offered a short low down bar stool as my wife has mobility issues. Lady who showed us in, then didn't seem happy we were not accepting the stools. She took us back outside to wait outside the door and told us we would have a long wait and asked us to wait until the table came free. NOT THE QUEUING PROCESS that was the problem. It was how we were spoken to and treated because we didn't accept what was offered. Lady talked to us like a school mistress, then pointed and was aggressive at one point all because i moved to look in the shop window and away from the queue point she had placed us at. We were not there to be spoken to like naughty school children, so we left. All because we weren't standing in the right spot outside, whilst only us were there. Raised with the manager who seemed to think her attitude was OK, as does the owners reply to my review, not exactly a professional reply, just excuses for poor customer service. Shame as I was taking my husband there for the first time and with a wedding in mind for an outfit, as it came highly recommended. Will be sharing my experience with others. My advice avoid as they might have great food, their customer service wasn't great, and the owners' reply is not accepting perhaps they got it wrong. DISAPPOINTING 😞

Great Sunday lunch, choice of 4 meats, lots of different veggies, gravy, all homemade. Friendly pub, cash only.

Food was excellent service great with friendly staff , very popular so booking is recommended

Excellent overall, 100% recommended!

This is a perfect place for refreshment during a hike (in our case The Eden Way). We arrived soaking wet and were welcomed by friendly people and a log fire and local beers. It felt like a dream because we were cold and wet and were not expecting to find an open pub!

Had the most amazing sunday roast here on the 3rd nov. I chose the roast pork which came with roast potatoes yorkshire pudding red cabbage cauliflower broccoli green beans peas & an absolutely delicious gravy! All homemade with fresh ingredients beautifully cooked generous portions all served hot. The staff were friendly & helpful too. Would highly recommend & i will return on my next stay in Wales. Well done The Jolly Colliers

A proper pub. Really friendly welcoming pub, big portions, food is exceptional. Especially nice at Christmas.

Went to Truffle with my children yesterday evening. The ambience of the restaurant was great (lots of fairy lights which were lovely but could do with the dimming the top lights a little). The service was excellent; the food was really delicious: tasty; well presented and the quantity was just right. We were very warmly greeted and treated. We shall certainly eat there again. Would highly recommend.

Stopped for lunch on the way back from the Hebrides. Excellent, old fashioned service, we felt very spoiled and valued as customers. Delicious food and wonderful ambience. The building and grounds are from a time gone by. The history of the building is all around, on the paintings on the walls. A real Downton experience and value for money. We cannot recommend this gem highly enough and we will make it a fixture on our calendar for future holidays. Thank you.

Well done Google and the cafe for a fantartic stop inbetween Derby to Newark for the Tour of Britian. Plenty of bikes hanging up, good sign. Always. Did have the brunch of the day with a slice of Rocky road, then over to Newark with the cyclists that were there. Added a second visit.
