The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Pretty little cafe. I went there with my children on my last day of maternity leave. We had cakes, latte and babyccino. Staff were very kind and polite. Nice cake selections (not English cakes, which was pleasant)

Great location near Windermere town centre with great views across the hills from the restaurant. Lovely food and good and attentive service.

CLOSED AS OF 24.07.24. We were booked for 10.08.24 and have just received an email informing us that, unfortunately, they have just ceased trading and so have had to cancel our booking.

lovely, lovely pub great genial landlord, so friendly and welcoming,his son was waiting on our table , very helpful (he got me extra sauce!) both courses were delicious very generous, prompt service would definitely recommend 👌

Absolutely lovely country pub with fantastic views. Didn't eat....

Friendly café with great staff and great music. Very good food that everyone will like. My favourite in knaresborough.

First class unassuming service on a pretty quiet mid week January evening. Food throughout very good and well presented. Excellent value, as was the wine by the glass especially the 2022 Languedoc chardonnay.

Wonderful food and lovely staff

First time eating here and what a lovely place! Didn’t realise there was a downstairs, fabulous atmosphere! Sunday dinner was beautiful, highly recommend!

Increíble lugar bastante acogedor! Pasé a tomar un café para esconderme de la lluvia y terminé tomando un poco de brunch / almuerzo. El especial de haventee con halloumi y avo es definitivamente una idea que me llevaré a casa conmigo! Increíble café y una encantadora parada de sensación hogareña!

Acabo de tener un fantástico desayuno aquí. Mucha elección, todo sabe increíble. Gran servicio. Los propietarios son muy acogedores y hay un ambiente agradable: locales y habituales que entran, asientos acogedores. ¡Buenos precios también!

El Smiddy es un bar brillante para pasar la noche y el personal es increíble. Los precios son muy justos por estar en el extremo oeste también.

I rarely write reviews however with Briardene Hotel, I have too. From the moment you enter to the moment you leave the hotel and staff are far above what I would generally expect. Every staff member was friendly, polite, full of local knowledge if you needed it. And they take time out to make your visit special. The food was amazing, perhaps my general food is tasteless as as soon as I had the breakfast I was shocked at how good a breakfast can be. The hotel, every time I sat down and just looked around, I realised how someone had taken real time and effort to make everything work. It is far beyond a normal hotel. On a negative note. Briardene owners are asking for trouble though, a beautifully run hotel at a price that idiots like me can afford. Not clever.

Has been a family favourite for nearly 20 years it reminds us of family Friday fish
