The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Had lunch here with a very large family group 17 of us ,the meal had been pre-arranged .The staff were lovely very friendly and welcoming .We were in the Royalist restaurant ,people say the hotel is out dated ,but that is part of the history of the hotel and character , modern decor would not do the hotel justice , and shrewsbury town is a medieval town , the Prince Rupert was former home to Prince Rupert the grandson of King James 1 ,so why would anyone want to change such an Iconic hotel into a modern hotel . Our food and service was fantastic the serving staff were lovely very efficient and we didn't have to wait long between courses . My partner and I had Sweet corn Veloute for starters ,then Hake and then Chocolate Brownie with ice cream ,Every course was delicious served on hot plates . So if you like places with history and good food and service ,I can highly recommend the Prince Rupert every where was lovely and clean too .

Very welcoming,I go to their renew group for craft,I have made some great friends,absolutely recommend.we can stay for lunch if we want to

Absolutely stunning meal ! If you want authentic Spanish tapas get yourself to thirty eight all staff members were very polite and explained every dish in front of you on how it was made . Top marks to the chef 👌 try the meatballs they are outrageous!! Five star !

Great place, not only finally somewhere offering smaller portions at a reduced price as a lunch deal but also the best chips in Southampton hands down, warm, crispy on the outside and freshly cooked!

Really lovely cafe with amazing coffee and sweet treats 🍰

Food is OK pub grub, great decorations, and the staff are very efficient and friendly. I had the gammon, it was over cooked and chewy but the chips were great.

Very friendly and welcoming. Really tasty fish and delicious chips. Always the one we stop at for our fish and chips. Wouldn’t go anywhere else

Dirty tables, staff who clearly had never worked behind a bar before, gin and tonic no lemon or lime, run out of branded glasses… really poor, come on it’s not that difficult!

I hadn't been to the restaurant for a long time. But, when I visited the U.K. this year, it was the first place I went to eat

We had a birthday afternoon tea here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Being February and miserable weather, we had the place to ourselves but the staff had gone to a lot of effort - decorating the birthday girl's table with birthday confetti. Nice and cosy inside. The food was very good - nice selection of sandwiches - what I would call sensible fillings like cheese and chutney, ham and tomato, tuna mayo, and egg. Our only comment would be to include a few more of the tuna and egg ones as there were quite a few of the ham and tomato which for our group was the least popular flavour. A selection of four different cakes - carrot, victoria sponge, chocolate and a very good syrupy flapjack. Small pieces but we liked that as you could have a bit of everything without feeling like you were going to explode! Very fresh and tasty. Finally cream scones - and yay - proper clotted cream! My son has a lot of allergies so chose a baked potato off the main menu. The staff were very helpful at the booking stage sorting out his meal and he enjoyed it. Am sure it must be lovely in summer time with all the plants and being able to sit outside - will definitely come back again.

Really surprised by the bad reviews. We enjoyed a great fish and chip meal - tasty, well cooked and not at all greasy. Our food was cooked to order. We didnt have to queue despite it being a Sunday afternoon in July. The only down point - only Pepsi available and no coke.

Nice cafe, open daily staff friendly food great

Had a really nice time here. Table service and home made food was delightful.

Lovely café. Delightful garden. Great coffee! I was even offered an umbrella to get me home in a rain shower! Lovely people!

Been coming here since I was a child, its My favourite place for a cake and I normally buy half a dozen rolls too ,which taste good and fresh . Staff are always friendly ,my Mum worked here once too many years ago . Love this bakery
