The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

A beautiful little cafe hidden in the Chalke Valley. Tucked away behind the shop they serve a great choice of local cakes and coffee. The Dorset Apple Cake is a firm favourite. The service is amazing, always friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. I would return anytime.

Extremely disappointed with service this evening. I was not treated when I approached the till to be made aware someone would be with me soon .To my great disappointment I was served my sitting in order in a take away cup.Wasn’t asked if sitting in or take away. There were at least 20 used take away cups stacked on the counter, so I’m guessing I was not the only one to be served a take away when sitting in. I could understand if understaffed or extremely busy and they needed to save time on washing up however it was really quiet. The service staff standing around behind the counter chatting and using profanities. I’m not one to be offended by this however I feel that this showed to me that the staff did not care one jot about my customer experience. I don’t come to Starbucks to sit in and drink out a paper cup . Certainly not at that price 😤

Called here in the morning to collect our fresh farm produce and decided to stay for brunch. Although the cafe was packed out a seat was soon found for us. The coffee was excellent and the portions of food were generous. The staff were helpful and friendly. (There is gift/antique shop on the premises which which kept us occupied for an hour)

Delightful little station cafe providing much needed refreshments served with a smile. This is a tiny private enterprise and our visit was very pleasant

First off the restaurant is now above Jackson's fish bar in the Castle Arcade - not the address (at time of writing) on this page! The place has just 5 tables is run by a team of two, who put heart, soul and passion into making a great and unique dinning experience. I was wowed by about 4 of the 6 courses (and the others were great as well). It is an experience restaurant - expect to be there for 3 hours - the restaurant isn't flash. The chef wants a relaxed "normal" environment. It's not posh. And I loved the whole experience all the more for it. A memorable night and some amazing food.

Dale and the team are absolutely fantastic. Me & my fiance held our engagement party here recently and couldn't have asked for a better night. Dale & team were super accommodating and couldn't have done anymore for us, nothing was a problem. We are super appreciative and over the moon with how it all went. Thank you!

Clean and spacious interior. Great food, great service, reasonable prices. Had breakfast here and was not disappointed.

Spontaneous visit to this local cafe after passing many times and always appears busy. The menu has a huge selection of hot, cold options along with sweet treats and drinks too. You can also sit in and take away if preferred. Upon entering I received a warm, friendly welcome from a polish lady who appeared to be the manager and in charge of serving. Good size cafe with lots of tables to choose from and very clean. Also, level access from the street is provided so good for wheelchair users. Decided to dine in and order the lentil soup with a buttery roll as I was short on time. With lots of food options to choose from, keen to return and try some of the other items on offer. Service was prompt and the portion was large. The soup was also piping hot and very tasty. Overall great first experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good cafe near Gorgie area.

We visited this tearoom after while back after a hike and what we had to eat and drink was amazing. The coffee was perfect, which is rare. The food was lovely, I had a lavender scone. A true oasis.

We were met at the college gate and taken to the ‘City View’ restaurant by a staff member. Charleigh and Bradley were our waiters and they did a great job of looking after us and explaining the menu (designed by Jon). The restaurant is small, which we like, but has a lovely view over London. The food was excellent, cooked to perfection and well presented. Jade was in charge of the restaurant and explained what was happening when there were minor delays. Overall, taking lunch here was a delightful experience and very reasonably priced. We will return. Well done all!

Have been goin to sandwichland for past 15 yrs. Coffee is lovely... Alex does a special blend. Food is always on point. Its always a pleasure to visit and i try to go as often as possible for a welcoming service, great food and coffee.

Good food, second time we have been in the last month. However both times it has been very cold, no effort made to warm the area up. We skipped dessert and coffee as it was too cold to enjoy our food. Will not return in winter months.

Unfortunately my whole visit was not good from the girl that served me - no communication. Looked totally fed up to be there. Got order wrong (obviously as was so disinterested when taking order) Shop not busy but order took a while to come. My french toast was so greasy. Very disappointing On a previous visit I had the same experience with same waitress - almost a bother to take order

Spoke to a lovely server, she goes by the name of klara, wonderful girl. Made my day and was extremely helpful. Would go again just for her

Place is absolutely immaculate.Breakfast rolls were amazing. Will be back for Lunch
