The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Not happy with the food the liver was under done and my partners pork was under done aswell puddings were not very warm staff were friendly it was ashame this place had good reviews won't be go again

I absolutely love this cafe. We have been visiting regularly since we bought a caravan in Conwy 3 years ago and it’s my favourite place to go for lunch. We are always made to feel welcome and the food is excellent.

My friend made reservations for a late lunch for three of us during a weekday. Whilst the food was delicious it was a little pricey for what was served - especially given the small portion sizes. Overall the service was friendly, and we did happen to enjoy ourselves. From a personal perspective though, I would say this restaurant is catered more towards an older generation. The atmosphere is very quiet and "proper" - not the sort of place a group of friends can have their yearly catch up.

Stunning place. The food was of such high standards, yet very affordable. It’s one of our favourite places in Wiltshire. Second time here, and definitely not the last.

Fabulous as always.A place to celebrate special occasions or even just treating yourself

This is a gem of a cafe. Small so you may not always get a seat, and as it's self run it may have to suddenly shut at short notice or not open due to staff issues. However, those little things aside, visitng and eating here is an absolute must and always worth it. The staff are friendly and the owner really loves his food and puts so much effort into perfecting his dishes that you can taste everything he puts into them. Everything is fresh and of the best quality, it's only a shame when we turn up and there are no seats, but it's always worth the wait. Well done team and keep up the great work.

Beautiful setting with wonderful views. Some of the waiting staff seemed unhappy in their work. Lots of management staff wandering about.One lady with coloured hair clearing tables picking up as much as she could not using a tray (Health and Safety) We waited 40 minutes for meal. Scrambled Egg over cooked. Crayfish on flatbread tastless. Would we return NO. Would rather go to Cafe further down

A good place to eat, in an unexpected location. We had lamb shank which was very good, nice and pink, would have liked a bit more fire on the outside. The menu said it came with local black pudding (mine didn't) and a red wine jus (confident mine was just normal gravy) but I enjoyed it very much. My wife had spaghetti carbonara, made with cream which might upset the purists. Bizzarely, this was served with a side of chips. I also got a side of chips in spite of my meal already coming with champ. The portion of pasta was insane, we couldn't have eaten it between us. I was amused at the double carbs but the chips are amazing, the best chips I've had in ages. If I made chips that good I'd serve them with everything too. Decent little wine list, and really reasonable prices on the wine, which I was surprised by because so many restauraunts overcharge on wine. Dessert portions are very generous, as are the portions of everything else. It's big proper plates of food. It's a nice place, with no pretenses, the service is good and the dining room was full of familes and couples enjoying themselves. We left very full and glad we made the trip. Give it a go, but arrive hungry becasue you're having chips as well.

Truly excellent meal, great service from attentive staff, fabulous decor and clean facilities, very highly recommended.

Lovely stop on our way north. Delicious food and wonderful and warm service.

Lovely food. Drink prices very good.

As it’s a small popular place booking in advance is probably recommended. We were looking for a table on a Saturday night during the Spring Fling event in the region so left a message with the restaurant whilst traveling to Kirkcudbright. The owner returned the call and fortunately, thanks to a cancellation, was able to arrange our reservation for dinner the following night - a promising start. On the evening of our visit the bistro was busy however there was still a relaxed ambiance about the place. The sole waitress taking orders and attending to the tables was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable about the menu and the only other member of staff appeared to be the owner/chef. He popped out and chatted with us towards the end of service to allow the waitress to get home as a few diners like us were finishing off drinks and still to receive their desserts and settle their bills. He seemed sociable and relaxed and clearly hadn’t adopted the Gordon Ramsay approach to the restaurant business. Being a small place we were not surprised at the outset that the menu was limited to about half a dozen items per course including specials however it gave a decent choice in our view. We both ordered a “special” for starters - Tempura Battered Prawns (£7.95). As was the case throughout the evening, the dish was served up to the table in good time. Six king prawns each with a sweet chilli sauce with a salad garnish and balsamic. It was a tasty start. For mains my wife ordered the Seabass, served with king prawns, a white wine & tomato sauce and fresh vegetables (£21.00). I had Duck a L’Orange (£21.95) which was another item from the specials board. Neither of the mains dishes would be winning prizes for presentation however most importantly they both tasted good. The fish was nicely cooked and my wife enjoyed the other parts of the dish. The duck was also good albeit the chef was later surprised I’d left the fat on the plate. I queried if people normally ate the fat and he commented that they often do and that he rendered it to make it more appealing. Thankfully this was not an overly fatty duck breast in any case but I was quite happy to leave the small amount I did on the plate. For dessert my wife had Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream and I had a Citrus Tart served with a small selection of fresh berries and cream. The puddings were £6.50 each and both enjoyable. Overall we liked our experience at the bistro and with our three course meal for two costing just under £72 we thought it was reasonable value for money. We had added a bottle of NZ Yealands Sauvignon Blanc wine for £25 only just keeping the bill under £100. A walk to the harbour to watch the sunset as we headed back to our accommodation rounded off the evening well.

Lovely little cafe for everyone. Nice to eat GF with confidence. Box of fresh doughnuts was a really bonus!

Quality of food and service are top class and fixed price menus are great value for money! Sunday lunch is excellent and is good value for the quality of food produced

Fish, chips and mushy pea’s. Saturday night supper. Absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection. 💯/💯 Yum yum😋🤤. Cannot wait for my next helping.
