The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We were staying in Allerston whilst on holiday and booked for Sunday Lunch on 13th April. We received a very friendly welcome and shown to our table in the dining room,. which was very clean and tastefully decorated. All the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. We both had the roast lamb which was very juicy and tasty and the vegetables were cooked just how we like them. We will be staying in the village again next year and I told the landlady we will return - and that I will stick to one first name so as not to confuse her again when we book : )

Me and my husband decided to have a nice day out. Problem was one of the bar staff was acting fairly rude other than that food was top quality and fair prices.

Following the reviews on here & having just moved down to Calstock nearby three days before, we booked a table of six - one a birthday & three visitors down from Yorkshire. We even went over the evening before to check it out & decided it looked ideal - there was a fresh meat stand in one corner & lovely strains of presumably a local choir practicing folk songs wafting down from upstairs, great beer & we were shown the table we would have - all good. Turned up next night &, though the same barman was busy, nodded us through to our table & settled in. Just a few people drinking at the bar & no one eating at that stage. Got drinks in & looked at the menus. And then we waited, & waited. Two lovely young girls serving but in the end , after 15minutes we had to make a point of calling out to one to try & place our order. In the meantime the barman had come out to chat to a couple who had sat down to eat but did not come over to us. We were informed by the girl that we could not place an order yet as the kitchen had a large party to cook for upstairs & we’d have to wait till they were all done. Surprised, we enquired how long that would be. After checking, we were told half an hour… We were distinctly not impressed with this as at no point had we been warned that this might happen so after a further 15 minutes & drinks finished, we decided to cut our losses & leave. The large barman, who was the only person seemingly in charge, at no stage came over although he was obviously aware of our plight. Miraculously, when we got up to leave he disappeared completely & one of the young ladies was left to see us out. We expressed our complete disappointment with the whole situation & left. We felt extremely sorry that the girl had been left to carry the can & swore never to bother coming back., I cannot believe this is the same place as in the other reviews - apart from the lovely pub & excellent beer. A total disappointment. We ended up having an excellent Indian meal in Callington which thankfully salvaged the evening.

What a lovely place this is , stayed a couple of years ago when attending my cousin s wedding but called back in on Wednesday as we d just been to a funeral and the tea was back at the hotel,my dad was waiting for my sister and I in the car with his wee dog, Kenny who works in the bar very kindly took some food and drink out to the car for him , fantastic customer service from him so thanks again Kenny 😄 the food was lovely too

Lovely Sunday lunch. Called without booking and were accommodated for lunch with no problem. Everything was perfect.

Very useful shop with nice food and coffee. Many options for the ones living in Torridon or passing by. The staff are friendly and helpful. This is the 2nd time we lived in Torridon and we are very happy to have this shop in the area.

I visited this cafe today for a coffee and sausage bap, £9.35. I paid with a ten pound note and got no change. My coffee was delivered, followed later by my bap. I then questioned the price with waitress and said that I hadn't received my change. She came back saying 'Heaven forbid I forgot your 65 pence'. Not that this was a real issue, but whether she thought it was her way of a joke came over as being sarcastic. The coffee was average at best and the sausage bap, less so. Typical microwave food, so hot it was tasteless with no colour to look that it was cooked. Given the price, poor service, tasteless food and additional cost to park they won't get my custom again. I'd rather use the cafe opposite who know how to treat customers how they like to be treated!

I had such a good experience here a few weeks ago - very friendly, kind service. The food and drinks are always good at Pret but the service here made my morning.

Great breakfast at the Rose and Crown in Flamborough. I had steak and eggs and my dad had a regular breakfast. What a difference when done by a chef compared to a regular cook. Could taste the difference and the quality was excellent. Even the toast tasted better

Friendly mother and daughter team. Had lovely cream tea, excellent value. Later had bacon, sausage sandwich, great bread. Would have preferred bacon, sausage to be cooked more, but that’s personal preference prefer well done. Also sold hand selection of handmade jewellery, trinkets etc. bought lovely earrings and ring.

We called in one Saturday lunch time for some food. Great choice of menu, it was hard deciding what to eat as plenty of options. We finally opted for the pie and lasagne. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. So much so we came back the next day for Sunday lunch. We hadn’t booked in on the Sunday, and fortunately there was a table free for us to eat. Again we loved the food. The pub has a lovely cosy feel, the staff friendly and attentive and proper home cooked food, I would happily recommend eating here.

i came into Helen’s not too long ago as i love the food. I always have the breakfasts and free coffee before half 9 which is my go to. I was served by a lovely young girl but i find food is always missing off my breakfasts and service from others has always felt rushed. She apologised about my food and it was fixed. When i went to the till, an older woman asked if food was okay and i said yes if an item hadn’t been missed which she then proceeds to ask me to leave a kind review because i liked the food ? Will still be returning as i am a loyal customer but please sort this.

A lovely gem of a small hotel 3 miles from Oswestry, set in beautiful countryside. Friendly and attentive service, alongside a varied and interesting daily menu with all dishes impeccably presented and prepared to a very high standard. Our rooms were modern and contemporary in style, tastefully decorated with a super shower and jacuzzi bath. Highly recommend especially for walkers with endless opportunities for walking along with lots of places of interest if you want a more sedate time. Highly recommended and we look forward to a repeat visit later in the year.

The Slip Tavern is closed and no longer .an inn so don’t bother visiting it

Been going to Tracey’s for a little while now after I was looking for a traditional cafe in Nottingham and I must say, I’m impressed. The food here comes out in good time and is all made fresh, it is by no means anything fancy but it’s a wholesome environment that does a great breakfast. I will be back.
