The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We had just finished a hike (Grassington and Conistone circular), so we were a bit under-dressed for this very nice restaurant. My fault - didn’t do the research! We’d booked in advance given it was Good Friday but it was not very busy. Service was really lovely. Menu was not extensive and surprisingly after our exertions, we were not ravenous - so we ordered some sandwiches. All the food was terrific.

We came for a meal at 7pm on a Wednesday night but it wasn't open - no explanation.

Mid week teatime treat beautiful home cooked food. Nice atmosphere good balance of diners and drinkers. Will definitely use again

Visited The Grange for a delicious meal. Absolutely amazing service and wonderful food. Beautiful location and the people who work here go out of their way to look after guests. The cream teas are also AMAZING! Best hotel and restaurant in the county!

As a pie fanatic, I had to take the opportunity to visit whilst taking son to Ferry. Was so happy I did. Two of us had the Steak, Stilton and Port Gravy pie, with Hand Cut Chips and Mushy Peas. Phenomenal pie. Jam packed with beautifully cooked Steak, nice flavour from the cheese, and the gravy was superb. Very good chips and mushies as well. Son had the Cajun Chicken Burger, and really enjoyed it. Very friendly staff, decent music (not too loud) and nice atmosphere in a busy pub. Will have to come back to sample the other, equally delicious sounding, pies on the menu.

Being a dog owner we regularly use Google reviews to check if dogs are allowed in, especially when we are visiting an area for the first time. We therefore checked The Riverbank out and saw, in the Gemini generated summary as well as several reviews ( one 2 months ago) that it was dog friendly. On turning up earlier today we noted a 'no dogs' sign on the door so I popped upstairs to check....and apparently the answer is 'it depends!', ie whether busy, how they feel on the day. This is completely unhelpful to customers as it either is, or isn't and should be up front about this. If you let dogs in it will appear in your reviews! Anyway your loss and another cafes gain as there are other lovely dog friendly places in the town (Lime Bothy, Belted Galloway) so I'd suggest you take your business elsewhere if you have a dog.

Another excellent lunch at the Pheasant. We've been several times over last 4 years and never been disappointed. This time we kicked off with salmon gravadlax with blood orange and deep fried squid followed by excellent hake in an Indonesian curry sauce with pak choi - superb!! With desserts, glass of wine each, bread (also very good - ciabatta, lightly toasted with butter on the side) the bill came to just over £100. The standards are very high and you won't be disappointed!

Stopped for a piece of cake and a cup of tea. It was a lovely, easy quick stop on our journey and we enjoyed it very much. The almond and cherry cake was delicious.

A lovely friendly pub with great food.

A unique setting in this historic tower with open stone walls - a cosy but not cramped space with warm lighting . The most delicious food - between The 4 of us we tried : scallops , seafood soup, lamb shoulder , duck, steak, cheese board and warm tart . The meat we had was cooked to perfection: melt in the mouth and incredibly tasty . All served with delicious sauces , green veg and roasted new potatoes . Nibbles and the fluffiest salted bread on arrival . The chef came to speak with us at the end of the meal - we said what a special evening we'd had . He and his wife made a great chef / front of house team . Service was warm , friendly and efficient . Highly recommend this independent restaurant where you will find cooking using the highest quality ingredients and with great skill and care .

We have visited the tea rooms on many occasions, this time with family. The corned beef and potato pie was yummy, as was the crab sandwich. Friendly staff. Good service and reasonable price. Would definitely recommend.

When we stay at St Georges Park, England training ground - this is where we go for an evening meal. The food is delicious, the hospitality is brilliant and the beer from the microbrewery is fabulous. If we could run a pipe from the microbrewery to St Georges our stay would be perfect. I would recommend a visit and to book your table. We ate quite late due to matches and training and the home made pizzas were all gobbled up but any food on the menu is recommended. There is a problem easily accessing the web site but don't be deterred.

Friday night dinner. Starters were disappointing.One meagre, other just not that good, Shame though, because main courses were very good,and the service from the girls was fine.

Had a fantastic Easter Sunday lunch. Lovely cooked roast dinner. Very well recommend. In a beautifully decorated pub with the best served real ales in Banbury!

Only called in for a nosey, stayed for lunch in the cafe enjoying the views of the gorge. Rather spectacular.
