The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

OMG… sumptuous fine dining.. it was a choice between here and the Ivy Bistro.. So glad we chose the Palace Restaurant.. the iced tea was to die for for £6, the toasted cheese sandwich.. sublime.. run don’t walk here

This owner obviously never reads his reviews as he has not changed in ten years - and the rest. A lady and her special needs daughter that we had met earlier on our walk came into the garden for tea and asked first if she could use the bathroom adding that it was "a bit desperate". Very rudely the proprietor pointed out that the only toilets were all ensuite and his customers use the public convenience across the river. There was no further comment or apology and he returned his attention to another couple who were not left alone for a second. Endless flow of advice on where to go and what to see. I was grateful we were ignored as that is not something I would appreciate; my companion enjoyed her lemon drizzle - she has a very sweet tooth, I had to leave my coffee and walnut as I don't, ( have a sweet tooth). The tea was weak. ( £15.00 ) It is a lovely spot but location does not make up for bad service.

Este lugar fue una sorpresa. Compré bacalao con papas fritas y una salchicha rebozada. Todo rozaba lo no comestible (incluyo una foto de lo que dejé en el plato, me moría de hambre así que tuve que comer algo, pero, como podéis ver el 80 % sigue en el plato). Es un insulto para Brighton tener pescado con papas fritas como este. Y un propietario que parece estar (por leer sus respuestas aquí) en completa negación sobre la calidad de la misma. El pescado NO ESTABA FRESCO, era viejo, cuero, acuoso e insípido, las papas fritas estaban secas igualmente insípidas, obviamente no estaban recién cocinadas y el aceite estaba en su fecha útil o escurrido del fondo de una cosechadora. Lo único suavemente sabroso era la salchicha, que comí para evitar el hambre, pero honestamente, se podía utilizar como una porra antidisturbios. Debí haber leído las otras críticas antes de venir, pero honestamente pensé que el lugar tenía que ser decente con una posición tan privilegiada en el paseo marítimo de Brighton justo al lado del Grand Hotel... Si yo fuera el hotel pondría un cartel en el vestíbulo advirtiendo a la gente que no vaya aquí, ya que arruinará completamente su visita a la costa! Totalmente boquiabierto de que un lugar como este siga existiendo en 2024 , el fish & chips es algo tan fácil de hacer... ...casi siento que este lugar necesita aplaudir por lograr estropear tan a fondo el plato nacional inglés. No estoy seguro de cuál es el nombre de los propietarios, pero le pido señor: salga a probar otros fish and chips de la zona, parece que está negando su comida y utiliza frecuentemente el argumento de que la gente «termina sus platos» como razón para llamarlos «mentirosos», amigo mío, le aseguro : No soy mentirosa, e incluyo una foto de lo que dejé en mi plato. En realidad estoy tratando de ayudar, y creo que la gran mayoría de los revisores aquí también lo están haciendo. Tienes una ubicación GENIAL, ¿por qué arruinarla poniendo comida en el plato de esta manera?

Ordered a burger and drink,took 25 minutes,narrowly beating my previous record of 23 minutes for 5 chicken selects and a drink. Easily the worst mcdonalds in history

Afternoon Tea Advised of severe nut allergy at point of booking. Served coffee and walnut cake !!! Waiter took it away and said its only touching a couple of other slices. Brought back 2 plates, one with the coffee & walnut cake and another without and proceeded to place both back on the table ! Severe nut allergy means severe nut allergy !!! Cakes were shop bought and not fresh, one small scone each, brown bread sandwiches stale. The pot of tea was lovely and the highlight

First of all Ellie was very welcoming, so lovely, very happy, friendly and helpful to me. Exactly how customer service should be! Food was very fast, lovely meal too! After our meal she gave my little one a little cake which was so lovely of her! Need more people like Ellie! Thank you so much Ellie for your service!

dirty place,very rough.dirty floor, in need of a big spend on the place to update.cheap, but i would pay more for better.toilets very dirty, walls need a clean and paint. not a place to go, avoid.

Waited 10 mins in the drive through, watching all the aimless youngsters just chatting whilst 1 was cooking, eventually get home and the 10 piece variety meal only had 9 pieces?? No wonder there on minimum wage as they can’t even count! Hunts cross is the worst franchise I’ve been to !

Terrible, food was awful, tasteless and mushrooms were burnt - completely black. Please don't go, also very expensive. Never ever coming back, 35£ down the drain

Everytime I order online it comes back cold and rubbery There's no feedback info on they website That's why I'm coming her cause its another £17 pound for rubbish quality again

Spent over £40 on chicken , very disappointed. Tasted like been boiled without salt or spices . But mashed potatoes were lovely.

customer service stinks popped in today 17th sept , and the young blonde haired girl , really shouldn't be working there, arrogant,rude and pathetic, won't be returning to this cafe, certainly won't be paying good money to be treated so appallingly.

If I had of read these reviews before we went to Lowestoft we certainly wouldn't of chosen to eat here. Not sure they know what they are doing. We queued for 10 minutes which I know isn't that long but that was just to reach the front of the queue to put our order in as they have nothing cooked. so ordered the food & had to wait. We were in a hurry & only waited a quick sausage & chips. after waiting 15 minutes for the food & having seen people that came in after us get there food before us my wife approached the counter & asked what the hold up was, the girl was very abrupt saying I don't know I didn't serve you. we just wanted to get our food so we could get going. My wife said can we just take a normal sausage & 2 small battered to get us served & on our way. She had to ask permission & was not overly happy about it. so ruse, poor service & food not great either = Steer well clear

Thought I'd try chips from here, never again, hot, hard and absolutely tasteless, I'm now nursing a burnt tongue.

Good news and bad news. Good news - Fish very nice. Free salt and vinegar. Bad news - Cold chips, dry bread roll, tea had a skin on it? Eat in the Resaurant, ate out of boxes with a wooden fork. 45p for a little sachet of sauce. Average service. I know it’s just fish and chip but it wasn’t a good experience.
