The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

When you order a ‘Chocolate and salted caramel fondue sharing platter’ as a desert, you expect fondue do you not? Maybe it’s just me but what I don’t expect is a pot of chocolate ice cream sauce and a pot of strawberry ice cream sauce? This is not FONDUE. Nor is it salted caramel for that matter of fact. We were extremely disappointed having paid £12.49 to receive such a lame version of what looked a scrumptious picture on the menu. Rest of the food we had was ok to be fair, nothing to shout about but what you’d expect, but this was such a let down that I have no choice but to mark you right down.

This is a building with lots of history. Our room was well presented and spotlessly clean. Breakfast had good choice of menu and tge food was presented well. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Disappointed tgat tge pool was unavailable but fully understand that this can happen This hitel is excellent value for money.

When the Cafe service is slow and you have to queue for a long time, and you have to deal with parking issues on top of that, it is not worth spending time to relax with friends in the cafe. I mentioned this to Parking Eye regarding a fine and provided evidence I was a customer in Booths meeting my friends and still ended up having to pay for the parking fine. It is ridiculous that there isn’t an option to pay to stay beyond 2 hours when it is perfectly reasonable to spend a bit more than 2 hours in a cafe with slow service. They should reconsider ParkingEye instead of looting their customers over silly parking fines and not offering options to stay longer. I will not be visiting this establishment again and will advise my friends to do the same. Disappointing because I do enjoy visiting this place quite often

I just spent over 30 minutes queueing behind only 5 cars to get to the front and be told hi welcome to kfc can I take your order we only have popcorn chicken and mini fillets left are you for real!!? A multi million/billion pound company and you can’t keep your stores stocked until closing!! Absolute joke!!! Thanks for wasting my time and fuel!!!!!! No offer of compensation just oh I can do a popcorn box meal no I don’t want a popcorn box meal I want a proper meal a burger you know that you should have in at all times the one thing you actually should be making you didn’t even have original chicken 😂 oh and I got a sorry about the wait!!! It’s absolutely laughable this kfc word of advise to anyone visiting the isle of Sheppey don’t go to this kfc in thomsett way your just be queueing for nothing!!!

This service station has everything needed for a stop on the M4. It's always super busy, the cleanliness overall was lacking, especially in the toilets. Costa was below standard this time, very slow service and burnt coffee. I think the issues are all to do with how busy the place was at that particular time

We have been coming here for over 30 years on our way on holidays from Norfolk. We heard it is closing at the end of the year so we came in for one last breakfast. As usual, the staff were polite and friendly, the service was quick and the food hot and delicious. Excellent value -a good plate full for £7.50. I have no idea why there are so many negative reviews on here; I have NEVER had a bad experience. It’s closure is very sad and the end of an era.

When slogging clockwise round the M25. Far superior to the elderly facilities at South Mimms. Ordering only via touch screens which could be challenging for some clients. Excellent Sausage sandwiches served in a Ciabatta Roll. So much better than a tired, white, bap. And a fine Espresso. Water available from a Water Station. Try it. Hayling Seagoon

A great cafe and friendly staff with a fenced off dog exercising area. Also had new, very clean toilets. Nice little stop off point.

This place is dirty, tired, and even the toilets were dirty. If you are desperate for a comfort break, then you have no choice. But if not...drive on.

Panini over toasted and Brie cheese consisted of rind, hardly any cranberries. Salad with panini was sad, not worth putting on the plate Salad and coleslaw had been made with old products. Staff who was waiting on in dirty T/shirt. Thick with dust on top of drinks fridge which could be seen from sitting down. All seat covers stained Skirting boards and paintwork and walls in need of a facelift. Very grubby place , won’t be going there again. For the price of over £30 with coffee , very poor.

The worst fish n chip shop wasted 16.00 pound that was for over cooked chips and the battered sausages was crispy as hell...batter fell off while bitting...floors there slippery in the back..nearly fell over!!!!!!

I used to come here a lot when I was younger with my family and even had a 16th birthday meal in the function room at the back. EWas always a great place to eat and relax.

Got fined for staying longer than 2 hours. Most service station stays are for 3 yours but not yours. Well done, you have successfully ripped me off. How clever. Service stations are supposed to be there for a break. Had lunch, made a call and a quick nap. That’s not untypical of business travellers or those that work hard. Cost me £170. A true success for ripping off innocent customers. Hope that you enjoy your “ill-gotten” gains. What has happened to the UK?

We ordered as a takeaway. Chips were stale and soggy. Batter too hard and hardly any cod inside. Waste of money. Won’t go back.

What a little gem. Lovely club sandwich, stew, chips and coffees. Simple food done well. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Thank you.
