The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Photographs of the two rooms with open fires look delightful, especially the room with the old fashioned range and hearth, but it seems there is every chance, even if you book weeks in advance, you won't be seated in either but placed in a small room at the rear warmed only with electric heaters. This room should be reserved for walk-ins, or have it made clear when booking - you must book by phone - that you will not be sitting in one of the rooms featured prominently on the website, or, indeed, online reviews. You have an unspoilt interior but this unsatisfactory arrangement is like a throwback to a time when pubs did not have to try too hard. This wasn't putting off punters on the night we visited however. The small bar area was packed. And although there was nobody at all sitting in one of the dining areas with open fire we were informed all of these tables were reserved and directed to the back room. Food may be a notch above average for a regular pub but is short of gastro standard. There appears to be some work going on at the rear currently. Difficult to find a space and several inconsiderately parked vehicles.

Amazing food! Great gravy and very hearty. Bursting with flavours. Gives a good rendition of comforting British food with a modern flare.

Good selection of beer. Great for entertainment

Absolutely incredible food, lovely atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. You can byob for a corkage fee of only £3pp so can bring a bottle of wine and get a bit sloshed to make the food taste even more incredible. Came here for 2 year anniversary with my girlfriend, was very special. Compliments to the chef, best food I have eaten in a long time!

This is a small friendly hotel in a very nice location. We stayed just one night and will definitely return. The room was well appointed and our dinner and breakfast were exceptional. It’s rare to find food cooked with this level of creativity and skill in the UK. The sun was shining and we walked from the hotel onto the Monsal Trail. It’s a perfect base from which to explore the best of the Peak District. The Riverside team were fantastic and work very hard to make things perfect. Thank you for looking after us so well.

We had a wonderful evening meal chosen from a good selection of options. The service was attentive and friendly. It is quite a small pub so I would strongly recommend booking in advance.

I'm thinking i need to stay here longer 😔

Over the Bridge is an absolute gem. I had a fantastic night’s sleep, the room was really comfortable and nicely furnished. Breakfast was delicious. Everything was spotlessly clean and well-looked after. Trevor was friendly and charming. Highly recommended!

Called in for lunch before we went to Ribby Hall. It was full inside but there were tables outside, however a table became available and we were able to sit inside.The service was excellent and the staff were really friendly. There was a specials board which had tapas on too. I had the home made sausage roll, which came with salad, mustard and relish,my daughter had the chicken and bacon Caesar salad and we shared some skin on fries.All the food was delicious, great quality. It’s a lovely place with a great atmosphere. The cakes on the counter looked delicious too.

Just to say we loved this place. Now called Manorbier House ( which is a bit confusing as there are signs at the beach directing to the 'Beach break' still. We drove round for a while trying to find it, until a friendly guy pointed it out! Theres a handy small car park next door. There are lots of tables both inside and out and a small gift shop. The coffee was good and the food arrived promptly and with friendly service. Our dog was welcomed too. He had a mariners platter- very hearty and tasty and I had a falafel salad with olives and seeds etc. all very tasty. Definitely recommend

Becky just did the most wonderful buffet and stunning chocolate and caramel celebration cake for us for our wedding vow renewal. Everyone commented on how lovely everything looked and how yummy it tasted. Thank you so much for being part of our special day 🤩

Excellent service and food, just a small place but well worth a visit. I suppose booking a table is a must

Good fish and chips. Decent sizes. Not the best curry sauce... But would go back.

We had the most fantastic extended family dinner at the Dining Room. The food was exceptional, the service delightful and the wine delicious. Si and his team bent over backwards to make it a truly special evening and we are super grateful. This restaurant is 100% the best on the Llyn and is one of our favourites anywhere.

Lovely staff, fantastic food and decent prices.
