The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

I visited with 3 friends on Monday 19th December for a fabulously fresh festive afternoon tea and a wonderful time. We were warmly greeted into the tea lounge, which was packed to the rafters with a large party and many other tables were taken too. There was a warm and cosy festive feel, with christmas music adding to the great atmosphere. Although the lovely staff were kept very busy, they were happy, smiling and nothing was too much trouble and we were soon seated with a festive drink in hand, which is a lovely idea and makes The Nantwich Tea Lounge afternoon tea stand out from the rest. When our bulging stands of festive goodies arrived at the table, it was very clear that everything was freshly made, with an assortment of sandwiches, which included turkey & cranberry, roast beef & horseradish and cheese & pickle, with a tasty mini sausage roll. Then we started on the layer of beautifully home baked scones with clotted cream & strawberry jam. After that we moved onto our delicately made cakes, which are lovingly created in house, (unlike in other places, where they come straight from the packet) which included a decadent chocolate truffle, a mini mince pie with a soft sponge top, a homemade glass of sherry trifle - which was simply divine. But we were defeated by the gorgeous white chocolate & orange cup cakes and had to box them up to take home. The photo I have posted shows a stand shared between 2. There was loads of goodies and it was all delicious! Without doubt this was an extra special luxurious, delicious afternoon which I would highly recommend and repeat any day of the week. Thank you to the staff, who were so friendly and helpful. If you haven't visited yet, make sure you do!

I went for bf, and the bread was fresh and cant wait to Come back. The coffee was amazing and the coffee art. Highly recommend.

Just had another tasty lunch here withmy daughter and grandchildren. The food is amazing, especially the Lasagne. Very reasonably priced The staff are lovely and welcoming. Definitely well worth visiting.

Wonderful photographs of the area unframed and framed. Table mats and coasters. Beautiful building in a wonderful setting with very helpful people. Worth taking a look see.

Had A Lovely Breakfast at the Secret Garden Cafe at Thorngrove Garden Centre, it was delivered to our table nice and hot which is always a good thing. The service from Sam and all the staff was very good. Will Visit Again

Tuvimos el desayuno vegano. Se dejó fuera en el mostrador de servicio durante unos 5 minutos, mientras que los 3 miembros del personal lo dejaron enfriar. Cuando llegó a nuestra mesa, tuve que enviarlo de vuelta para calentarlo. No necesito haberme molestado. Cuando volvió, la comida ahora caliente apenas era comestible. Frijoles blandos, tofu terrible, aguacate horrible (presumiblemente preprocesado), col rizada quemada, espinacas sin cocer directamente de la bolsa, hongos gomosos sudorosos. En 33 años de ser vegetariana nunca he tenido un desayuno peor. Sin duda no recomendaría ir allí.

Impromptu visit. Swanky, upmarket cocktail bar. Surroundings are weird but wonderful which adds to the ambience. For me, perhaps a little too weird, and way too dark! Reminded me of what I think an older, rich persons swingers club would be like. The cocktails were 5*. Staff 5* also.

It is not grate she introduced hers daughter and son but not me my aunt lindsay or my cousin douglas

Lovely friendly staff. Breakfast was great. People waiting to go in at 9 on a Sunday that's how popular it is. Great to see a business as a hub for the community and young staff doing so much to make folk feel welcome.

A large group of us had a fab meal here last week… food was amazing & Sarah & her staff are lovely. I have been to this restaurant numerous times & it never disappoints.

i took my granddaughter hayden for a burger and chips here at the whitehouse i had a lovely bread sandwich and beans but hayden cried and didnt eat his tomato and pickle toastie. the place was not very clean i found shaving foam under the table and it smelt like moudly cheese. but a nice experinece and an average birthday party at least hayden got his vbucks.

Really nice Sunday carvery. All the meats were cooked to perfection, and excellent portion size. Vegetable selection vast. Staff really helpful.

Really great coffee and delicious cake (raspberry and white chocolate, since you ask!) Service friendly and view from the perching stools and tables at the end of the cafe rather lovely across Berwick’s rooftops. Good place for coffee before or after the Lowry exhibition!

What a great find. We live within the local area and decided with friends to go out for dinner and drinks. Trying to get taxis in our village is always difficult unless pre booking. The Sloop Inn solved this problem for us as we both have camper/motorhome so picked here as we could park up for the night. Lively atmosphere and the food was proper pub food. Tasty perfectly cooked and amazing service. The lady serving was so friendly and welcoming we will definitely be returning. Great pub great food and an amazing sleep in our motorhome.

Great food, decent prices, very friendly owner. Will be back if I come to Richmond again 😊
