The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

The service is wonderful (and quick) no matter how busy they are Each customer is served in their own 'little window' Polite courteous patient and greeted by a smile And no one is on their phone!! So rare these days The atmosphere is always welcoming Makes having a coffee out whilst shopping a real joy

Took my mum here for a Mother’s Day/birthday treat, we had a cream tea, and it was absolutely amazing we’ve been before and it’s always been brilliant, the scones are fresh and warm, and crunchy on the outside and so soft in the middle, generous amount of cream and jam, prices are very good too, Would definitely recommend it for cream tea

Hands down... the best place to eat in Wickford. Nikkie ( the owner) and Mark are so welcoming and friendly and had us crying with laughter, what brilliant people they are, nothing is to much trouble for either of them. The bagels are amazing with huge choice of fillings and really tasty. Best start to the day.... can't wait to go back ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great coffee, Bakewell slice and the service is always good, with Tony the proprietor leading the way. What more do you want from a boutique cafe.

Its dining with a difference - We had read the reviews so came well prepared (definitely steer away from tight waist banded clothing ). Our Host had been very responsive to our pre-visit enquiries and , on the night , was welcoming , engaging and great company. The menu had been planned to accommodate our varying tastes and was both delicious and certainly sufficient to satisfy appetites greater than ours. That said we diligently worked our way through all courses. Overall a great experience and one we would, and indeed already have, recommended, to our friends if they are planning to stay and dine in the area .

This cafe serves the best breakfasts we have tasted with all the staff being great. Definitely a go to place! Phil and Karen

Excellent coffee and yummy scone. Beautiful cafe. Stylish cafe and friendly owner. The cafe is definitely OPEN. CYCLISTS welcome. Everyone is welcome. Please note that there are internal stairs up to the cafe. Will be back!

I go there whenever I can. I’ve worked in restaurants for over 40 years and I think it's the best coffee around. Cakes are spot on too and the staff are brilliant. Martin

Fantastic food as ever last night in the @34, great to see the college working with alumni and outstanding local businesses to support the next generation.. fantastic

I visited yesterday on my own and had a coffee and the Shakshouka Bagel which was amazing and very filling. I have visited OTWT many times since it opened in 2019 as I have coeliac disease and all the food is gluten free: I sometimes go to eat in, like yesterday, and sometimes buy food to take away. I am the only gluten free person in my family but we all love the food from OTWT. My other half thinks Hayley’s cheese and onion pies are the better than “normal” ones! Other items I regularly buy and would recommend are the pasties (my favourite is the cheese and jalapeño), different types of cakes and biscuits, scotch eggs, pakoras and the arancini. Yesterday I also bought a pack of bagels after enjoying my lunch so much. Hayley and Dave are super friendly, always making time to chat and answer questions even when busy. I feel very lucky that this I live close to somewhere that makes and sells such yummy gluten free food.

Just returned after having yet another delicious meal at the New Inn. It has become our go-to place for lunch, and for some years now. We have never been disappointed in the food and always receive a smiling welcoming reception fro whoever is behind the bar. Please ignore the last review and look at all the other glowing reviews. Trip Advisor is a good place to look but so open to scams.

Very clean, organised barn stop offering a good selection of cakes and snacks. Also a great variety of drink choices. Clean and tidy tables and toilets. All offered on an honesty basis. I hope people respect this trust and pay for a lovely place to stop and refuel.

Popped in for a breakfast with Friends , Cafe was quite busy with Takeaways but plenty of seating , we ordered at the counter and sat down , we had 45 mins before our train was due , after 30 mins had passed still no food , but loads of people who ordered after us had received there takeaways , in the end they put it in a polystyrene tray and gave it to us as a takeaway , problem was no cutlery was included , its not fun trying to eat a full english in a tray on a train with no cutlery hence most ended up in the bin !! Shocking service for sit down customers!!

I attended a workshop in Beaminster and at lunch time and although we were given many options for food outlets, me and 2 other participants decided on the Trading Post and I am so pleased we did. All 3 of us had soup and it possibly was the most delicious soup I have ever had the pleasure to taste. I would go back to Beaminster just to go to this cafe. It was an absolute joy from start to finish, the service, the food and the venue were all delightful. Thank you Trading post I will be back x

What A Gem, excellent authentic Food. We first tried a takeaway and was so impressed we decided to book a table, we was so glad we did very impressed with the quality and variety of the food on the menu. The Dorsa is a must to try. Service was top notch all the staff very attentive happy and had time to explain the dishes especially Richie !! He was such a pleasure to have serving us. Would most definitely give this new place a go, you wont be disappointed. Keep up the good work
