The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Had to see what the hype was about, well disappointed is an understatement. The fish was crispy but flat and the chips were just a pile of pale mush unable to peel from the paper. On looking at their Instagram, the chips are golden and crispy. I shan't return or recommend.

I have eaten at this restaurant several times recently. Being not too crowded it has been ideal for lunch with business contacts. There is plenty of space between the tables! The food and wine selection is perfectly good and service staff attentive. I shall be going again!

Our order was a medium all day breakfast and a fruit scone. We waited over an hour for our food which was all microwaved. Neither of us were able to eat our food, the scone which was microwaved arrived on a plate that was swimming with water. The bottom was soggy and the top was chewy like a rubber band, completely inedible. The breakfast was microwaved to death, apart from the egg and fried bread. Egg was undercooked and there was fat pouring out of the fried slice. Worst food we've had in a long time. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

The tea made me sad, it wasn't very nice

My daughter and I went for breakfast today, there was no one in there, we ordered and sat outside, I must say it was pretty good, I ordered the light breakfast, food was hot and tasty, it’s a shame it’s always quiet but it was a Monday morning so may be it’s a quiet time.

Went in here today, kids still in pub till late hours. Presume landladies. Running and screaming everywhere. While she stood at bar with what looked like wine. Shameful

I have been using this chip shop for some time but have noticed the standards drop both in food and service. On Thursday 8th August I ordered fish and chips (x2) and paid £10 cash. I was told it would be 10 mins so I popped next door to the Arms for a drink and when I returned 20 mins later the guy behind the counter (I have not seen him before)said he had forgotten to cook my food!?! Rather than wait I just asked for my money back and he said abruptly “we don’t do refunds” ... after another request he just turned out his pocket and promptly slammed my £10 on the counter and said “don’t ever come back” ! To say I was gonna smacked was an understatement ... as if I was ever going back ! I can only imagine he is the new owner (good luck) as the previous guy was very friendly ... I would avoid this place like the plague ... apparently I’m not the only one with a bad experience ...

This is the best restaurant in the area- by a lot. We ate here 3 nights running after high tailing it out off the Rose & Crown and finding the Old Bank closed for a private function. The menu was different each night with plentiful fish specials. Elevated cuisine beautifully presented, if somewhat small portions. We thought it reasonably priced. The cheese course is not to be missed! Great staff & pretty room only add to the experience. Lots of healthy options…yummy warm gluten free bread, even a delicious gluten free berry crumble for dessert with diary free coconut ice cream! We tried almost the entire menu & never had a bite we didn’t enjoy.

Stayed in a lot of premier inns as i travel the country training colleagues must say this the worst run place I have been... breakfast 6.30am... nothing out people taking food of hot plates soon as chef puts it out 3 days here still seen no eggs.. for breakfast..? 5 or 6 people in restaurant and they have asked if you have booked a table..? Possible long wait for food by member of staff who asks for room number and only one chef available they tell you.. food is like micro wave warmed up frozen food is this a management issue or premier inn don't now first night can I have fish and chips sorry no fish..?second night pie and cauliflower and broccoli sorry no veg..? had to accept pie n chips and kettle gravy staff are good but managed by a business who are not exactly caring for there customers after 3 day people in area have said what are you staying there for .. it's well known. ,?after my company has paid £660 for 4 night stay I can't wait to get back home.. very poor place to stay your comments are very welcome regarding feedback.

Bad customer care. No one came to table to collect dirty plates ask about pudding orders. Only to be told after waiting 40minutes to be told kitchen shut bar shutting soon at 9.10pm

This is the 2nd time I have visited The Duke and the experience this time was not as good. Unfortunately, the waiting staff seemed very disorganised and were not very attentive when taking the order. The cutlery, serviettes were not brought out all at once but they kept coming backwards and forwards. One of the party had the gnocchi and when the waiter asked if we wanted anything else, ie, sauces, etc, they requested some parmesan cheese. The waiter returned to say that we could have parmesan but there would be an extra charge of £1 ! I have never in all the times I have visited restaurants have been asked to pay extra for parmesan cheese. We then asked to speak to the manager, who came over and said she would have to speak to the chef as she was a temporary manager. I am not sure what that had to do with making a decision on whether or not we had to pay for the parmesan. I pointed out that a member of the party was having the fish & chips but had requested at the time of ordering that they did not want the mushy peas or tartare sauce. We would certainly not have expected to receive a reduction in the price ! The temporary manager then said she did not want to argue about it so would bring a portion of parmesan for no extra cost. I was a bit annoyed as there should have not been any argument at all as surely a small grating of parmesan should be free anyway, or the price incorporated in the cost of the meal !

Great food and service, good prices, easy to park and convenient location.

Disgraceful. Couldn't understand the man in the 'reception', looked like a poor quality Indian restaurant. Graffiti on the door on 1st floor. Utterly ghastly so we left without unpacking and forfeited our money as we couldn't face staying in such a dump, and they have the nerve to charge £££ for breakfast.

If I have to be honest, everything was rubbish and it was a ripp off, absolutely disgusting. Threw up.
