The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We had one of our best meals of the trip at Sandemans. All of the dishes were delicious, but the whole experience was even better because the sommelier was so knowledgable and took our meal to a whole other level.

5 stars is not enough. I love Polish food, and this place makes very good Polish food. Lovingly home made and plentiful portions. Staff are really helpful, even though the menu is in Polish, they're very happy to translate.

Great friendly hosts, pub food was a good standard and very reasonably priced..We stopped the night in our motorhome.

Awfully rude attitude from what I assume was the manager/owner. I assume this as anyone else with such appalling customer service wouldn’t last a day. Went for work do and obviously expected to pay individually. The guy told us we cannot pay individually, as it’s too ‘complicated’. When advised he should have informed us of this prior to ordering, he said he had informed us - he only told us when we were ready to pay and not when we had arrived. So not just rude, a gaslighter as well. When we were then trying to work out the cost for each of us to avoid any of us falling short or owning money, I asked him how much the coffees were and he told me I’d have to find a menu and check myself. I will never be going back here again.

Just the best fish and chips....Always come here when I'm in Colchester! Thanks Dr Chippy's - keep up the great service!

It was my first time visiting here and they were absolutely amazing. They were very accommodating to my diet and very understanding too. All the staff are lovely. The food was very nice and big portions too. I will be visiting again. I highly recommend to everyone. Thank you for an amazing service.

Lovely friendly pub. Tasty food with a friendly service.

Shaun and co, catered our surprise 25th Anniversary party 19th October. So glad my daughter booked them. Everyone, told us how much they enjoyed the food. Even now they still talk about it. Food was great. Set the bar high. Thank you very much. 😊

Absolutely brilliant! The service was fantastic, warm and wellcoming. We had scottish breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our breakfast needs ❤️. Would absolutely recommend!

Amazing food as always and the staff were really going above and beyond for us. It was a birthday, new job, anniversary dinner and we got made to feel welcome and like the staff genuinely cared about our oddly specific celebratory dinner I had the mixed grill which was admittedly pricey but also worth every penny, it's difficult to find quality like that but as anyone who's been to Hawksmoor is aware they are known around the world for some of the highest quality meats, cooked to perfection I also need to give a big shout out to Ryan Morrissey for not only recognising he had served me before, once, at least a year ago (amazing memory mate) but also for putting across a genuine sense of excitement and enthusiasm for us and our weirdly special day Big thank you to everyone at Hawksmoor Manchester, both front and back of house went out of their way to make the whole experience feel properly special We'll be back again in December for my partners birthday and neither of us can wait for our next trip to Hawksmoor

Very nice hotel, furnished beautifully. Lovely well equipped room. Lots of nice touches. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Bar offers interesting cocktails. Restaurant was closed as it was a Monday. But there's a good I dian right next door.

Fantastic atmosphere, phenomenal food, and service second to none.

From the start to the very last minute such an enjoyable experience at the Claridges. Went with a friend for afternoon tea and enjoyed every bit of it. We were served by two lovely gentlemen who were accommodating our every request and move. The food is great. One of us is a strict vegetarian so the team created a special sandwich plate. Decaf cappuccino was perfect! Mint tea, scones and pastries - all get 5 stars. We were allocated a beautiful spot next to the piano stand. Nice life music was a cherry on the top. Ready to book my next visit. Must try experience

As a local, we try to support our local establishments and I've debated whether to write this review but over the last few visits, it has remained disappointing. The venue has been trying a few different approached to attract new customers and for that, it must be praised. We have been for brunch on multiple occasions, the food is always excellent. Our visit today was cut short as, despite booking a table for two adults with two children which were in highchairs (which we included in the notes on our booking), we were told that they only had one highchair (which we know not to be true as we usually use two). We said we could try and make it work as our toddler could sit in a big chair - not ideal but having made the trip to come out for brunch, we wanted to make it work. We were then told we couldn't have the one remaining highchair because someone was using it. It wasn't so much the situation that annoyed me, it was how very little the staff seemed to care. Even upon explaining my frustration, the staff member just seemed annoyed that I'd raised the issue - so we just left. This unfortunately isn't the first time we've had poor service here and despite trying again and again to help a local business, we won't be returning.

Friendly service, very well executed food without pretension in a nice atmosphere setting. Beef entrecôte was buttery soft and superb flavour, hope to go back when in area.
