The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

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!

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

Amazing little treasure of a place with an array of delicious cake. My partner and son had the peppermint slice that they enjoyed. I had a slice of the best cake I have ver tasted in my life. Lime and coconut sponge with passion fruit. AMAZING!!! lovely little cafe with lots of books, staff super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Do visit this place!!!

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 🤩

On behalf of Leverington short mat bowls club I would like to thank the staff for their polite efficiency and good service. As expected the fish and chips were as usual of a very high standard and all twenty diners were very pleased. Would recommend to everyone, such good value.

Food and service here is exceptional. We chose to try the new wine flight, absolute bargain at £35. For those who have never tried one, they’re great. The wine is chosen especially to complement the course you’re eating. So you don’t have to worry about choosing the right bottle to accompany the whole meal. Each glass is perfectly matched. Five glasses of top end wines. Fantastic value and the perfect way to eat, drink and be merry. The meal started with 'Yeast two ways', freshly baked, thickly cut crusty bread with roasted yeast butter, how to elevate simple bread and butter to fine dining standards- it tasted amazing. Followed North Shields crab with apple which worked really well so light and refreshing. We shared a twice-baked Epoisses cheese soufflé. Dusted with aged Parmesan and baked with a cider cream and Onion Chutney. Absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious, indulgent... and a cheese lover's dream dish. The lamb course with beetroot melted in the mouth. The Snips Whispers dessert of sweet parsnip crisps with parsley sorbet and parsnip custard was unusually delicious! We were so full at the end of it all. Full and happy 😊 We did push the boat out and had a few cocktails in between courses, hence my poor beer pouring skills. Such a cool place with a soundtrack and food to match. If you're a true foodie you need to tick this place off your list 😉

Really friendly staff. Received a great welcome and the Sunday roast was amazing! Possibly one of the best in Ashford. Good selection of beers and ciders on tap. Reasonable prices. Will definitely be visiting again

First visit here for me and my husband but our friends we were with had been before. Really lovely staff, helpful and attentive. I decided to go for the Prawn Marie Rose salad for my main course. I asked the waitress what the salad consisted of as didn’t just want a mediocre salad. However, I was disappointed. My salad consisted of a larger serving of leaves the same as my husband had as a side salad for his burger, 4 long slices of cucumber, a helping of Prawns in Marie Rose sauce, a sliced beetroot, a pickled onion and a helping of grated cheese that looks the same as the bagged ready grated cheese from Tesco. All this for £24.45. Definitely not worth the money. I wish I had gone for the steak.

Excellent place! We were on holiday in Devon and we wanted to do a more special picnic, so we found this place and what a surprise! Amazing sandwiches, super good fillings, good quality ingredients, freshly made, and delicious cakes all at a very good price. We would definitely be back.
