The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Good service and nice food. Thought it was a little bit pricey for sandwiches and coffees. Not the warmest cafe I’ve been in

On arrival our table had to be cleared and set up which wasn't the best way to start. Once we had ordered our food we then had over an hour's wait. By the time it arrived we didn't feel that hungry. The salmon came with new potatoes, however, these were black in places, warmed up and inedible...my friend's steak was a combination of medium rare and over done! Think the problem stemmed from the fact there had been a 40th birthday party earlier and the two staff were struggling to cope with everything. If we had been informed of the large group, we would have rebooked. Not a great experience and probably won't be returning.

We discovered by accident when we had finished our walk up helsby hill. We only were there for a cold drink this time but we will return to try the food soon. I was blown away by the choices for me being vegan. Can't wait to try the food

I held a surprise afternoon tea here for my mum's 60th birthday and a dozen of her friends. The food was absolutely delicious, we were sat in the beautiful conservatory area and the cafe staff couldn't have been more helpful in the run up to the party and on the day itself. We had a wonderful time!

Our first takeaway from The Anthony’s, saw an add on FB for fish and chips, so gave it a try. Didn’t disappoint. Huge portions and the beer batter was delicious. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Great food, but its COLD in the restaurant so wrap up warm and cash only. Properly cooked steaks and incrediblle triple fried chips ! The Bread Pudding deserves an Oscar ! I am planning my next visit as I write this. 😍

We went in as a family of 5 with a wheelchair (having to turned back from another pub which we couldn't get the chair in). We loved it from the moment we walked in - the SA flag on the wall did help, as the well as the Halloween decorations - madly busy but fantastic fun. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the food, although a long wait , it was exceptionally fantastic - obviously made to order too! Look forward to returning, hopefully at Christmas.

Welcome place to stop for a coffee and cake on a miserable day. Staff very friendly. Good to see some local crafts on sale too.

We were wandering around Wells and noticed the long story bistro- as we had not eaten breakfast we popped in andordered a full English and vegetarian breakfast. The welcome from staff was very warm, and we did not have to wait long for our drinks and food to arrive. It was a fabulous breakfast, well presented, very tasty and served hot. We would not hesitate to recommend. I also spotted some delicious looking cakes, perhaps we will visit again tomorrow??

Stopped off here on many an occasion. Great coffee and hot chocolate. Large bacon rolls and excellent value. Great views too when the weather allows.

We ate twice here and it was delicious and reasonable, with charming staff. Nothing was too much trouble; it was a very nice experience

We had visited previously for a meal a few months ago but decided to stay for a 2 night break and we weren’t disappointed ! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Our room was lovely with our own terrace. We dined there both evenings and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Sophie and the rest of the staff really looked after us and we’ll definitely be returning !

Amazing fully vegan cafe. The staff is super friendly, the music creates a great vibe, and the food is absolutely fantastic. Definitely a must-try for anyone who loves plant-based dishes

My husband has always wanted to go here, then watching escape to the country saw the pub advertised. So decided just to go and hoped they were open. They were.... And it was so worth it, typical lovely old English pub, welcoming landlord, good selection of draft beers. Decided on the fillet steak and wow, it was good, the best we've had eating out in a very long time., recommend a portion if the home ade onion rings. We will be going back. Absolutely excellent

Wow the food here is absolutely delicious and all freshly made. Can't fault anything here, staff were really lovely and the cafe is spotless. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area. A hidden gem.
