The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We loved everything about this place! Good food good service good vibes. The cocktails & desserts are great, don’t skip them.

I was disappointed to see that no prices were displayed. Response from assistant was that she only worked there. Not impressed.

No.15, a boutique Guest House and restaurant and, first stop, cocktails with it’s weird and wonderful bar fashioned in scalloped leather scales to resemble exotic fish. Pretty cool place. I have a penchant for lighting and music which, combined, can either create or kill the perfect ambience in equal measure. The backdrop beats were on point, but the lighting was too severe for my liking. Nonetheless I downed an excellent Negroni before we were escorted downstairs to the small (36 covers) convivial restaurant. Like the bar the restaurant has plenty of attention-grabbing details including the vast array of eclectic portraits lining the walls and other odd arts and objects. The menu is welcomingly short with just half a dozen choices for each course which, in turn, gives the Diner assurance that the chef is confident in their ability to nail each one by applying the less is more mantra. For the most part we were served with memorable and seriously good cookery. Focussing on all that was great, I started with Bath chaps (pigs’ cheek) served with smoked bacon, pear relish and endive and followed with duck breast, swede and duck leg boulangère potato with a peppercorn jus. We shared honey roasted root vegetables. All excellent and surprisingly good portions. She kicked-off with ricotta and sage gnocchi which she declared was magnificent and followed with 30-day aged ribeye steak with a port and stilton sauce, roast mushroom and chips. Finally, we two-spooned a sticky toffee pudding in a Bath ale toffee sauce with honeycomb ice cream. Was this culinary perfection ? Well not quite with just a couple of small niggles. The pre-starter bread may have come from the legendary Bertinet Bakery, but it was, in all honesty, bland and served with butter. A personal thing but I prefer an extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic dip. The chips had an odd spry crisp’n dry after taste. The bill came in at a reasonable £132 (including 10% service).

Myself and my wife are local and dropped in yesterday for breakfast. Very nice breakfast, my wife couldn’t finish her granola so I did, which was excellent. Will go again.

This is a lovely country pub and the staff were very friendly. We originally planned to visit to have a ploughman’s lunch for my wife’s birthday as stated on their website menu. When I went to order I was told that they don’t do ploughman’s (it wasn’t listed on their paper menu). We were disappointed but ordered some sandwiches instead. The sandwiches were delicious and sitting in the beer garden on a sunny Saturday afternoon was lovely. So until the website menu is updated, be aware that ploughman’s lunch isn’t an option at the bowl inn.

We stayed here on two occasions, in our campervan to the rear of inn. Quiet and good location. We enjoyed a nights sleep during both our stays. The staff at the inn are fabulous, welcoming and friendly and the owners are really doing a great job. The food was delicious and the ambiance of the inn was just what you’d hope for, log fire burning in the hearth, dog friendly and lots of positive chatter. I’d recommend this as a stopover and eatery.

A three course dinner that delivered good flavours, high quality cooking, all with good table service. A very nice dining experience.

La hornada casera era preciosa. El personal es muy amable y acogedor. El único problema para mí es que rara vez estoy en esa parte de la ciudad. Ojalá estuviera más céntrico y abierto por más tiempo.

Ok never again , Don’t know where to start , ok good things popadoms naan rice we’re all good. Bad things lamb tikka masala very runny sauce strange taste 6 bits of meat small, onion Bhajis very small over cooked , tarka dhall oil floating on top and again not nice taste , onion salad well just chopped onion no coriander just white onion.maybe a new chief is needed.

I got a box of yesterdays cookies that was meant to be a general mix and it contains all the worst flavours. I was told there were boxes of general mix, then boxes of white chocolate, rose and cranberry and then vegan boxes. My mixed box was only rose and coconut and one cranberry. I had hoped of the six cookies in a box, there'd be one or two decent flavours but was sadly disappointed. I know they're reduced and you can't pick the flavours. But if they say it's a mixed box, and other boxes have specific flavours, I'd expect a mixed box .

Popped in for a piece of cake. Got some carrot cake and Victoria sandwich. Both cakes were very tasty and moist. Nice staff slightly expensive for one slice so I’m not giving 5 stars.

Great place with beautiful gardens and relaxed atmosphere . we attended a wedding and may see this as a future venue for an up comming gathering ourselves

Been coming here since I was a child, its My favourite place for a cake and I normally buy half a dozen rolls too ,which taste good and fresh . Staff are always friendly ,my Mum worked here once too many years ago . Love this bakery
