The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

I had the crushed avocado, salmon, poached eggs today and it was the best plate of food I've ever eating... simply stunning

They sell themselves as "A restaurant with rooms" and that gives a mere hint of what they're REALLY about here, firstly, the rooms are beautiful, clean, & well maintained, their location literally couldn't be any better, just on the edge of the very lovely hill-top medieval town of Shaftesbury, it's a two minute walk into town and we'll worth a visit in itself, now then, the nitty-gritty, the food, OMG! I'm based in Leicestershire, and now I know how good the food is here, I can tell you that I would drive the 161 miles straight there for a feed here, no exaggerating, all three courses of my evening meal were absolutely stunning, the aromas, the textures, the sheer depth of flavours, I'm not gushing am I ? LoL Anyway, Don't take my word for it, get booking! You won't regret it

As always Bates restaurant did not disappoint. The menu was varied and catered for all palates. The food was amazing, well cooked, well presented, hot and delicious. The service was excellent, friendly and efficient. I would recommend this restaurant for all types from ‘fussy’ eaters to fine diners. We will definitely be visiting again.

First time eating here and wow we were not disappointed.. great place and atmosphere, the food was delicious and cooked to perfection, and the staff were absolutely amazing, we couldn’t fault anything , would definitely recommend and go again.

Super friendly and sells the best cheesecake I've eaten in my entire life!

The hunters chicken wrap was amazing, and so was the Cadbury large special hot chocolate. The toilet was very clean, and the staff were lovely and helpful, and nice to talk to. Well done starburger very generous portions and great experience. This is my new favourite place to eat in Suffolk. They also have free WiFi. Great meals for all three of us. Great prices. 5/5★★★★★

Had an opportunity to stay at the Tearooms for 1 night during our 9 day Hadrians Wall walk. Cant say enough about our stay - the beautiful gardens that you are welcome to use, the pretty settings, the comfortable room and delicious dinner. The beer after the long days walk in the garden was so relaxing and the family style dinner ( book ahead) was delicious. Alex picked us up and dropped us off from our hike ending and start points easily and breakfast was plentiful for another days hike.

Can't beat it, classic food with even better service. Service with a smile !! The cakes are amazing as well.

Very disappointing! She hadn’t heard of lactose free cream Food was generally of poor quality for £24.50 C/Service 😩!!

Desert is great. I also liked homemade cookies. Definetely should give a try with your pop ins. Amazing 10 out of 10 on my perspective.

Pretty decent place and very friendly people

The burger was exceptional; I will certainly return. The staff were also very welcoming and accommodating. Charlotte mandys little Sis

New to the area and visited on strength of other reviews. Was not disappointed. Fish was tasty, batter not overwhelming and chips were excellent. Will undoubtedly be back.

So glad we stopped here for lunch mid-walk. The sandwiches - smoked salmon and cucumber on one and tuna mayo salad on the other were really good. Fresh proper brown bread too. Very good service from friendly staff. Highly recommended

One of the finest meals the wife and I have ever had. The tasting menu was incredible from start to finish. Service was great, bathrooms spotless, restaurant clean. Top tier in every way.
