The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We have been here and eaten probably six times this year and I absolutely rate it. The staff are always happy and helpful (especially the younger ones which I thought might be a bit surley)! The atmosphere was lovely and sometimes there is a big queue but hey that’s not the end of the world, if you want quick service go to McDonald’s (debatable I know!!) We last had an afternoon tea, which was lovely, the only thing I would suggest to put you above everyone else, is to provide a selection of sandwiches you can choose when ordering, I would have an afternoon tea again if I could have tuna or cheese! But I won’t as you don’t. The actual garden centre is way better than Rosebournes which was just a glorified gift shop with restaurant. The selection of plants and outdoor furniture etc is superb. Keep going Hillyers the Weyhill store has really benefited, although some of the Rosebourne staff you still have are a bit on the miserable side the newer staff are far more helpful, you are doing great!

The very bad smell when you walk in the door, it was recommended by 125 b and b just up the road !!!!!! One look at the menu chicken nuggets and chips!! No thanks. 👎

I ordered the picture food which was label veal with a spicy pasta for £16.95! It was dreadful and the place was dead! There was a poor woman running around trying to do everything! The owners of this place are a disgrace and deluded if they can’t see what is going on in this place! Could be so much better!

Female employee who was working on the self scam had an absolutely disgusting attitude. Quite old, short hair and glasses. Spoke to the couple at the self checkout next to us in the rudest tone of voice all because they took something off the scale too soon. Then proceeded to come over to us huffing and puffing and rolling her eyes. Wouldn’t think she was getting paid to work there, I work in customer service myself and have dealt with some pretty frustrating customers but would never dare speak to anyone that way.

Los mejores bocadillos están en la parte trasera de la tienda (en la tienda cerca del distrito de teatros). Los bocadillos y frutos secos de baja calidad están cerca de la parte delantera y en bolsas más pequeñas. Debería ser todo lo contrario. Lo mejor era difícil de localizar. Además, necesitan bolsas de papel. Las bolsas de plástico naranja son horribles para el medio ambiente.

Dont bother going, woman who served us so miserable, when I asked if we were in time.for breakfast, we got a sharp YES, atmosphere unwelcome, log burner throwing so much smoke off it's a health hazard, cheap sausages, cheap beans, frothy poached eggs, worst place we have ever been to, couldnt wait to leave. Advice to owner, close down asap.

If you have a food allergy don't bother. Unhelpful staff who didn't try to find an alternative. Did not listen when ordering and got order wrong. Disappointed again.

This is part of Rudd's Hotel - but they try and keep the reviews separate - with good reason. Lulworth Cove is beautiful. The pretty courtyard to the hotel looked a great spot for lunch and the menu looked perfect. We arrived at 12:45 and went to the hotel bar to collect menus and order. We ordered drinks but were told they had just taken a big food order and were waiting for some deliveries and would take our order in 10 or 15 minutes. When we went back later we were told the owner/chef was expecting a delivery of wood and they wouldn't come until he paid them hence a further delay. "It's like Fawlty Towers here" said the girl behind the bar. At 1:15 they announced that they were now taking lunch orders. We ordered Calamari and chips for my daughter, moules mariniere and chips for my son, a crab sandwich on brown with halloumi fries for my wife and seafood paella for me. Total cost £64.50. We were told we would be called to the window of the kitchen when the food was ready. In the meantime I went to the loo - a trip I would only recommend in the most urgent of circumstances. They didn't have brown bread (my wife won't eat white). As he pushed to polystyrene boxes of food through the window to me the chef explained that they didn't have halloumi fries so he had put in some spring rolls instead. The calamari was inedible. As I said to the chef - they could have been used as weapons in martial arts they batter was so hard. We also failed to detect any squid, The seafood paella was also inedible. They had lined the polystyrene box with tin foil because it was swimming with liquid. It was also bland and just awful. I complained to the chef who offered to refund the money for the paella - £15. I would have argued and demanded a full refund - but we were on holiday and it doesn't take much to embarrass an 11 and 12 year old - so I let it go. The girl who took our order came and put the refund back to my card. I have just got back home and checked my account and instead of refunding me £15 they charged me another £15. You couldn't make it up.

Worst Fish & chips I have ever had, I am a man in my late 60s and a catholic so fish & chips gas been on the menu every Friday for over 60 years even the Army's fish & chips was better and that was RANK & Downey's has the poorest of quality Service will never go back

I called in to buy some items this morning and to get cash from the cash machine. A gentleman called Jay helped me as I had problems with the machine. I must say he was so courteous, helpful and honest. I hope he is appreciated by all the customers and staff who work with him. Thank you Jay.

I was shopping at Newbury retail park. When I had finished I fancied a coffee so went into Starbucks. When I went to pay with cash I was told that they are cashless. I reluctantly paid with my card. I will not be returning. Costa on the same retail park is always busy and full of life. They are happy to take my cash.

Had the full breakfast, all freshly cooked , the only thing missing was toast . Staff very friendly,

Scruffy, dirty and run down. Not quite sure if Im describing the pub or the bar staff. Both. We thought we'd give this place a chance under new management. What a mistake, it's got worse! First round - served 4 drinks without a single word from the bar staff. Asked for a large wine but not possible. No explanation why not. 2nd round - needed the glasses back from the 1st round so that they could be re-used as they didn't have enough. There were only 4 other people in the place. It smelt. It was scruffy and run down. It was so bad it was funny. Wont be going back.

This is a review of the supermarket. Sainsburys are relentless about their drive to inconvenience their shoppers. At 7pm on the 03/09/24 they closed down the manned tills. This means that if you have a full trolly you have to check yourself out at the self check outs designed for customers with a basket of shopping. Firstly, I object to having to "check my shopping out" Secondly the facilities to check out a full trolly loaded with shopping is woefully inadequate. This is a cost cutting exercise by Sainsburys, they may say "it's the way the market is going" but that's their cost cutting excuse. By introducing this 7 pm change it discriminates against me when they still provide manned tills before this cut off. If they closed down all their manned tills, they would loose the majority of their customers. For me, that was the last time I will ever shop in Sainsburys, any Sainsburys. I've been shopping with them since this store opened.

A colleague and I went to the café for our lunch break today. The server area was poorly optimised, as the menu for food was located behind the drinks ordering area rather than where you order your food. This caused confusion. My colleague ordered a chicken roll and I ordered the pasta salad. After waiting a ridiculous 30 minutes the chicken roll arrived, but I was informed that the kitchen didn't have the ingredients for my salad. I was astounded that it took them 30 minutes to inform me of this and to heat up a simple roll, especially given that the café had only a small number of people. As a consequence of this we were running late for work, and I was forced to leave without my order. The only positive in the experience was the waitress, who was friendly and apologetic regarding the whole fiasco (none of which was her fault, the blame laying with the incompetent kitchen). I was offered a pre-made sandwich and a baked snack which I accepted in lieu of a refund. A terrible experience and to top it all off, my colleague described the chicken roll as tasting "like airport food". Don't go here, there are much better eateries nearby.
