The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

From start to finish I could not fault it, the hospitality was amazing and felt so welcome, asked if we had any dietary requests, also is any were vegan or Vegetarian. We started with a few starters from the Wanstead fish market and grocers. Heritage tomato, mozzarella and Avocado. The seasoning was sensational, mint, basil olive oil and salt!! Sustainable fresh market prawns, fennel and onion cooked in pomadoro sauce presented on local sour dough finished with grated Parmesan. Roasted aubergine, paprika, avocado and fresh chills. I would recommend and can’t wait to go back. Well done guys very impressed

The food was great the hospitality was amazing. As a local I'm happy to come back here every single day.

Popped in for a glass of champagne. 3 glasses (half a bottle) £99.00!!!! Unecessarily overpriced and unexpected. Could have purchased a bottle for less. A glass and a half each for £49.50 per person ... I feel robbed. Very disappointing. Cheaper at Rick Stein! Won't return if this is how their pricing is pitched.

We had expected an a la carte menu for a special occasion. We’d checked the website which promised venison, duck and 28 day steak. We even told them it was a birthday celebration. Instead we got tapas. Perfectly good tapas at a fair price. But not what we wanted. And no happy birthday. Victuals used to be the fine dining restaurant in Deal. Now it is little different from Frog & Scot, which has also repositioned. Shame.

A really great experience that you should have as an SMWS member! Excellent, unique whiskeys in a special atmosphere are definitely worth a trip when you are in Edinburgh. And we didn't expect the food to be so good either - a clear recommendation even for people who aren't absolute whiskey fans!

Didn’t stay but ate for my birthday lunch. Made to feel very welcome and loved every minute. Great service from Otto. Thanks so much to the team for making me feel special! The food was sublime and the star of the show was the cod main course with saffron sauce. Otto added he brought the saffron from Morocco himself which was a lovely touch. Will be back and will recommend. Francesca x

Nice garden. Come on Friday afternoon

I ordered online and while the delivery took a while, it was so worth the rate. Had the mini dipper and it’s was absolutely beautiful. I’ve had my fair share of takeaways and will now be coming back to here a lot. Food was amazing and have a really good variety comparing to other places. Was filling asf too. Amazing!!!

Great location, tricky parking, probably fantastic to sit in the read garden on a summer's evening. The vegetarian options were very limited with no sign of vegan options. The food was OK but not worth what we paid for it. The service was very good. Drinks by the glass were very expensive. Ambiance OK but crowded. I felt I was sharing the arm of my chair with the guest on the sofa next to me. Decoration felt overdone - dark paint, quite interesting artwork but overbearing. And a carpet in the toilet? Hmmm. It's an OK and worthwhile experience but we will not rush back.

Really nice food and the staff were lovely

After spending an unexpected day in Berwick upon Tweed, we found this little gem for dinner. It's a cosy restaurant, with a great menu, and friendly staff. We had the steak pie, burgers and curry, all of which were very tasty. We enjoyed it so much, we pushed the boat out and had some desert too. Can't wait for out next visit again soon!

Very nice food and very good and friendly service perfect all round 👌

I'm a regular in the East Port and has been a busy bar this afternoon/evening. Usual brilliant service from Matty, Carra, Stella and Helen. The best.

This was a great pub with absolutely lovely friendly staff. Happy atmosphere, spit and sawdust good people. Our lady waitress was super lovely. The gents at the bar were really friendly too. We felt welcomed and at home. Also, huge compliments to the chef! Amazing steak dinner! Thank you! :) x

On arrival in to the bar we were met with a young lad arguing with the bar man and threatening him to take it outside which was a lovely first impression! We were early so asked if we could have a drink to be told there was a 15 minute wait for drinks and it would be best if we went straight to the table. On sitting down at our table we waited 15 minutes for our drinks order to be taken then another 15 for the drinks to come. Our food order was then taken. We then waited another 30 minutes for the starters to come which was very disappointing. My breaded mushrooms were cold but after waiting to so long there was no way I was sending them back. We had to ask for another drinks order to be taken which again took another 15 minutes to come. We then waited 45 minutes for our main. We ordered the chateaubriand to share on the lava rock which should have been accompanied by 4 hot sauces. What a disappointment the chips were raw and I've ate better cuts of the chateaubriand. We never received our hot sauces we ordered too. We have had a chateaubriand at many other places and this was not with the money at all. Overall the service was shocking and when I voiced my disappointment with the whole meal there was a simple sorry about that. I expected more from this place.
