The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Visited solo for breakfast and sat on the delightful terrace. Came in on the off chance as I haven’t been for a few years. Received a warm welcome and decided on the large breakfast. Delicious with quality sausages and bacon, two eggs and a lovely home made hash brown accompanied by sides of beans and mushrooms. Came with toast and an excellent coffee. In all a great start to a Saturday with friendly service and excellent food, what more do you want. And at a very reasonable price!

Lovely breakfast, perfect spot over the village green. Delish coffee and nice array of deli snacks and pastries to take away on your walk! Will definitely go back for wine and ice cream 😍

We popped in for some lunch whilst visiting the Boston fair and had such a lovely experience. The woman serving us couldn’t have been more welcoming and made us feel comfortable from start to finish! We had our 3 year old with us and the ladies inside the kitchen told us they had some books inside that she could take out to keep her occupied. Food came out quickly and tasted delicious. There is a little private courtyard you can choose to sit in, and because of that we were able to enjoy the sunshine! Despite the fact that the kitchen is located amongst a busy town, and during the summer fair- it still felt lovely and quiet and private. Overall a lovely experience, would definitely recommend and will be returning.

We were so looking forward to staying here again this year. We’ve stayed before on a few occasions as our parents live here and we travel from the Highlands to visit. I just wish we’d read the reviews before we booked again; we booked due to our past stays and thought it would be the same experience. Sadly not. The room was clean for sure but there is no decent breakfast, they only offer cooked options on the weekend if the chef actually shows up, the “ continental breakfast” they offer is self service dry croissants, folded pack ham with chunks of cheese in a mini fridge and a wee kettle to prepare your own coffee. Oh and a bowl of questionable fruit. The atmosphere is NIL. 3 times I spoke to them about dinner reservations and still it wasn’t booked for our family of 6 on the night. The menu is uninspiring and very little for a vegetarian diet and they ask that you preorder your meal during the day so I suspect your meal isn’t fresh at dining time and the restaurant shuts at 8pm the bar was all shut up by 9pm and the place in darkness. We cancelled our dinner reservation and ate elsewhere in Kilve. The previous owners Carol & Julie are sorely missed and it saddens me greatly that all the years of work, love and commitment they put into making the castle of comfort the fantastic hotel it was had all gone to waste. We paid £160 B&B - vastly overpriced, no value for money just not enjoyable anymore and it stinks of fried food. There is no one to meet you, greet you. We dangled about for ages trying to check out, we could have simply walked out. Needless to say, we won’t be coming again and won’t be recommending it to others, my other family members won’t be coming back either.

Called in today for a nice lunch, but very dark and uninviting, could it be closed ? Once we were inside we were informed that only coffee was available, no food whatsoever. Having looked at Facebook reviews this place looked great but it turned out to be a waste of a journey so we spent our money elsewhere and will not try again. Very disappointing.

Lovely, friendly staff and great ethos. Fresh, quality ingredients all presented very nicely on the small plates. However, unfortunately we found the food lacking in flavour, it tasted bland and therefore we were rather disappointed with the meal. I wouldn’t return but my other half said he would because of the fresh, local produce & the restaurant’s ethos

What a lovely wee tea room! Had cream tea there yesterday with my mum and daughter. Food was wonderful,as was the service. Catered for gluten free and allergies. Would definitely recommend and will be back the next time I travel down from Glasgow. Only problem is the 500 mile return journey...... but we'll worth it!!!!

Such a lovely warm welcome from Ian, the server. He was so attentive throughout our time there. It is a limited menu but everything we had and we went twice in three days in Keswick, tasted great. There was three types of soup to choose from which came with different accompaniments, ie, sourdough toast, spicy chickpea bun ect. There was also a choice of about five different types of cake and I can highly recommend the ginger and raspberry with extra fruit compote. Note it's cash only and closed Sunday and Monday. Soon as we go back to Keswick we are going back to Chintys.

We hired the smaller private room for a family tea to celebrate a special birthday. There were 15 of us, grandparents, parents and children. From the start of our relationship with Mabel's administrator, Martine, discussions flowed easily - price, one glutenfree guest, one vegetarian, lots of details - nothing was too much trouble. On the day there was plenty to eat - sandwiches, scones, cakes and a drinks bar with prosecco. Sara, our waitress, was a star, making sure everyone had everything we wanted including extra cups of tea or coffee. Everyone enjoyed the relaxing informal event. The room was full of Victoriana and the children loved the experience and also the opportunity to explore the garden (with adult supervision). Our family tea at Mabel's was everything we wanted for our special day. Huge thanks to Martine and Sara for all their beautiful hospitality and care.

Excellent place to visit for English Brunch, delicious sandwiches, jacket potato and traditional scones and cakes, yummy food and homely service ❤️

Well, what can I say. Stayed here for two nights to attend a funeral. I knew it was going to be great when, arriving at 22 45, Kieron welcomed me and I climbed the stairs to my single room…..and the floors creaked. Allways a good sign of an excellent hotel when the floors do that, never failed me. Fantastic little room, attention to detail was superb. Breakfast was out of this world, skillfully prepared and beautifully presented. I didnt need lunch…….. Superb “wake” served for around 30 people , amazing soup, sandwiches, tea and coffee and chocolate pudding to die for, so light and guilt free ! Meal in the bistro for me, two cousins and my 9? year old Aunty after the wake.Ina could not have been more attentive. Enjoy this couples excellent service while you can, retirement beckons for them after 23 years !

Geweldige scones en supervriendelijk personeel. Heerlijke plek vlak bij zee. Prijs kwaliteit excellent. Pareltje wat door veel mensen nog niet is ontdekt

New Italian restaurant opened, so happy about as live Italian. Food is absolutely amazing, great service and very friendly staff

Been coming to this pub for years , usually before a PNE football game . The pizzas have always been great but the new items on the menu are just fantastic . Belly pork , ribs and the potatoe tots are so tasty and everything is reasonably priced . There is now too much choice and it’s difficult to know what to have . Compliments to the chef . The beers on offer are ever changing and the staff too deserve a pat on the back . This pub is well worth a visit
