The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We arrived too late for dinner, but the lady who greeted us could not have been more apologetic. As we were only in the area for two nights and we were already having dinner somewhere else the following evening we decided just to pop in for a drink, it was so welcoming and the food looked good we will definitely eat there the next time we are over there

Attended a tasting menu for valentines evening g . Food was lovely and the staff where very attentive but unfortunately although private dining there was another couple who was there and was very very loud and completely controlled the whole evening. Couldn't hear what the staff was telling us about the courses and didn't even have a conversation with my partner as i couldn't hear him. Considering the cost I would have thought the staff could gave told them to keep the noise down as other people in the joining resturant also mentioned the noise as this was also our 41st wedding g anniversary it totally spoil our evening I know it wasn't the resturant fault but I think the manager should have step in. Another couple who was there also didn't enjoy the experience either because of the same problem

Bit dingy lighting, given that the cafe is deep back to front. The teacake was delicious but only scantily buttered and not around the edges, so ask for extra butter. A serviette would have been nice. Taylor decaf tea was extra weak, ask for an extra tea bag to get a bit of taste

Very good restaurant with great food. This was a Friday lunchtime visit. We chose off the 2 course set lunch menu. For starter i chose the chicken Skewers. For the main i chose the pork tenderloin . The presentation was very good, cooked just right and tasted delicious. We chose a bottle of the Los Picos £22.95 which complimented the meal well. For desert I chose the baileys panna cotta which was lovely. The service was good and friendly.

The Tudor Pass is a small restaurant in Great Fosters, the Tudor hunting lodge hotel near Virginia Water. Given the small numbers of covers it has for a sitting it is well worth booking in advance. We went for lunch where there is a fixed menu. One unusual feature is that they don't give you the menu until you have finished the meal, which can inhibit your choice of wine ot other drink. The cost of the fixed price lunch was £90. The dining room is small (around 16-20 covers) and tastefully decorated and certainly the ceiling reminds you of the antiquity of the room. We arrived early so we had a glass of champagne outside on the bar terrace overlooking the bridge and pond. I would certainly recommend the Balfour English Sparkling wine over the house champagne. They were both priced the same, but the Balfour had a much better flavour and amount of bubbles. When we were shown to our table, I was surprised to see that our napkins were not only not ironed, but were positively wrinkled, not exactly what you expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. However that was absolutely the only thing to criticise. The meal started with four seperate amuse bouches. Each was brought out by the chefs who had cooked them. Each of them were really tasty, highly imaginative and brilliantly presented. Likewise each of the courses were presented by the chefs who had cooked them. To say the first course was English Heritage beetroot with dill and horseradish doesn't do the course justice. The flavours were superb. The next course was cod with bouillabaise, lemon and fennel. The fish was cooked to perfection and each of the other elements complemented the fish perfectly. The meat course was Hoggett (a cut above lamb, being able to live longer and graze well) with asparagus and garlic. It melted in the mouth. There was then an optional cheese course at an extra cost, that we didn't participate in. The dessert was beautifully presented cuban chocolate with hazlenut and armangnac. It is definitely worth staying for the petit fours as there was a really good surprise about them. Alex Payne and his team definitely are worthy of the Michelin Star and it is great to find this quality of cooking outside of London. The wine list had a good range of reasonably priced glasses and bottles. They served high quality coffee, which was a pleasant surprise. Beyond the restaurant the grounds are well worth exploring, particularly if the weather is good. In terms of value for money for the food served, it certainly is.

We have eaten here many times, but have just very sadly read, that Taste has closed permanently at the end of April. We wish you all the best with whatever path you take in the future x

Amazing and very well priced food. Lovely little restaurant and service was excellent despite being very busy. Could not fault it.

What a little gem! Like others have said, don’t judge a book by its cover. This place does the most incredible sandwich’s and fresh cakes with a view! I think there’s only outside seating and be prepared to wait a short while as it’s popular and everything is made to order, but honestly, go out of your way to visit - you won’t regret it. I had the minute smoked salmon sandwhich - delicious!

Great food, friendly staff, dog friendly (better to sit outside due to space), and an opportunity to take a brisk walk to the beach after a hearty lunch.

As soon as we walked into this pub, we knew it was going to be good. A small, community run pub with 2 roaring log burners and a warm welcome! I ordered one of the cocktails, the berry one and it was delicious and my partner ordered the alpaca lypse and they let him keep the glass it came in. We then ordered our mains and both had the pie; it didn't disappoint. There was so much meat and the gravy was lovely. Pudding was also amazing; two big portions of syrup sponge and chocolate fudge cake. When we are back in the lakes, we will definitely be back!

We didn’t have a booking but the restaurant fitted us in which we really appreciated. We were not disappointed the food was exceptional and so was the service. The menu is small, but perfect. We all ordered a different main course and none of us were disappointed. I have a starter again, beautiful and the rest of the party a dessert again fantastic. The complimentary soup was a nice touch too. It was the first evening of our stay and it could not have been any better. A really great restaurant. Thank you.

Already planning a return trip to sample more of the beer - great venue, staff super friendly, can’t recommend the OPO enough!

Stumbled across Eyemouth & this great cafe accidentally. Lovely decor, friendly owner . Excellent cheese scones just baked & great cake . Good coffee too

We had a really wonderful night at The Hare. The food was absolutely stunning and the rooms were cosy and comfortable, with an excellent rolltop bath. Liz and Paul were such good hosts: coming to The Hare didn't feel like coming to a restaurant, it felt like coming into someone's home for a perfectly curated and utterly wonderful evening. Reviews I've seen online don't mention the breakfast: this is an essential part of a good stay, and The Hare delivered the most wonderful tray of goodies to the table in the morning, as well as hot coffee and a good chat. Other restaurants with rooms in the area may be better known, but The Hare is an absolute treasure.

Amazing, Ben, staff. Local and used by locals. A local young man and family paid for our breakfast today.Thankyou . My friend and I moved to give them more room . They had 5week old 🐥, and young son. Xx Breakfast again next. ENJOY 😊
