The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Having eaten several times at a pub run by the now owners of Tallow, we were keen to try their new venture. A way to travel for us and expectations were high… First impressions were of an inviting looking building, second impressions were of a warm, cosy place heated with a log burner. It was a cold, damp night but all this was immediately forgotten as we became enveloped in the Tallow magic. Nice decor, a mix of old and the more contemporary; stripped back wood and brick which complimented the building itself, with the statement fireplace and central winding staircase, a really lovely atmosphere. The waiting staff were all that you could wish for and more. Each course was described by the staff as it was served and just as delicious as its very explicit description. Without being told, our server asked if I was Vegetarian as I had chosen plant based options for both my starter and main courses. Without being asked, two different amuse bouche arrived, one for me and a different one for my husband. It’s little details like this that separate this restaurant from a lot of others and possibly why, on a wet Wednesday evening in November, every table was taken - bar one! Delicious food, beautiful surroundings, first class waiting staff, everything that we had hoped for and more. Would definitely recommend

We ate downstairs...always a delight to visit this place ..Great food and lovely people looking after you!!! 10 out 10...

Just bought chips + jumbo sausage. Cooked to perfection

We love this place, such a warm and welcoming atmosphere and GOOD food. It’s causal yet takes the menu seriously. ❤️

Popped in for a coffee and was surprised to see the selection of homemade cakes on offer. The custard slice was fantastic 😀😀

Great place for a quiet, cosy drink. Lovely setting and excellent staff

Top class. My veggie Sunday roast was absolutely outstanding, very memorable. Love this place. Dog friendly, people friendly, staff are caring and excellent. 10 out of 10!!!

I love this place more than I can reasonably explain.

Had Sunday lunch best for a long time excellent John and Jackki will definitely return 😁

It. Was. Ok. A. Little. Bit. Slow. The. Food. Was. Nice.

Stayed in the B&B for 2 nights. The hosts are lovely and very accommodating. Breakfast was very good. A few choices of cooked and cereal, fruit, yoghurt etc… Rooms were simple, but clean and comfortable. All you need. Location is great. A few steps into town, and a short walk to lovely woodlands etc. 5 minute drive and you are on Dartmoor. Highly recommend staying here. Price is very reasonable too.

Lucky me coming across this gem. A quiet village.stunning scenery. Lovely welcome. Excellent bacon sandwich. Better than most I have consumed in Oxfordshire. In fact... the best. Sat outside . Village life. Lovely. Wonderful. Yum yum yum.😍

They made a beautiful cake with crochet theme. Tasted amazing and they were very helpful. Thank you

Good for late night food when nothing is open.

Food & atmosphere were fabulous as they were provided by the hostess of the party we attended. The funtion room & toilets were damp smelling & only one person on the function room bar & he had to keep running to the main pub for stock. Sadly, I would not recommend booking the function room unless there is a major refurbishment!
