The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We ate at The Castle Inn with my daughter who is coeliac. We always check in advance that places understand that cross contamination is the danger - cooking in a kitchen where there has been gluten on a surface or in a shared container. For coeliacs for example, you cannot cook chips in fat that has had any glutened batter in it. You have to have fresh fat in a cleaned fryer. We have discovered that many high end restaurants like The Ivy don't manage to offer this so it was so heartening that The Castle was meticulous about her needs. When the menu didn't offer an option she could pick, they found something different, making her cheesy mashed potato from scratch. It was delicious and we are so grateful for their kindness. We shall definitely eat here again when we're in the area.

A lovely surprise around corner! 11/10 food, staff and the atmosphere. Have a try and one would not feel regret about it. Have already recommend to friends.

Great little bar, staff are all nice talkative friendly folks, and some great beers on tap. There's a couple guitars on the wall for anyone who can play to entertain others, though could do with a restring.

Enjoyed a lovely tasty lunch at this friendly little cafe. Food - I had the Lentil soup with a cheese scone - was delicious. Service was spot on. The two gentleman serving were welcoming, friendly and genuine. I loved that they paid special attention to their regular customers referring to them by name and being attentive. An absolute gem of a place. Well done to all who work there.

We attended a live jazz event, which was great. What a fantastic pianist & entertainer Dale Storr is - thank you 🥰

Popped in here today after a nice visit to Castle Drogo! What a special spot! Very well priced beer and cider and also open during the day! An experience not to be missed!

My husband I visited Humphrey’s for our anniversary. The menu for vegetarian was so disappointing. The items on the menu were a mismatch , there was no specific cuisine type. I ordered the pea and mint soup as a starter. I had to ask for Salt and pepper as there was no seasoning . I couldn’t taste the mint and the soup was gritty. It was not smooth. Perhaps it was not meant to be, but seasoning should of been there. When the waitress asked how it was, I was honest and said it was not great . Her response “ ok” ! My main was chosen from their main menu, rather than the vegetarian menu ( as it was not enticing) I chose the mushroom risotto. The waiter told me that they can make the risotto vegetarian friendly (without Parmesan) . The dish arrived and Again no seasoning. I thought it was me being pickey, so I asked my husband to try abs he agreed , it was flavourless. I asked the waiter if they can add seasoning. He told me that due to no Parmesan the taste will be pretty much the same. You think being a fine dining restaurant they would have vegetarian alternatives to parmigiana cheese ( even I have in my fridge ). I then asked not to bother to remake with seasoning and thought maybe something from the vegetarian/ vegan menu will be better. I chose the spaghetti in tomato sauce. I was better of not ordering it and eating the bread. It was something a child would eat. If an Italian came To eat this , they would be appalled. I ate 1/4, out of politeness. I didn’t say anything, as at this point I just wanted to hurry up and leave. Final course chocolate fondant ... finally something that was great. I wish I had just gone straight to the dessert . When the bill came, I couldn’t believe that my tasteless meal cost £68. How can spaghetti in some tomato sauce cost £22. I have had some amazing simple pasta in fine dining Michelin star restaurant and willing to pay high price. But this, as I said is something a child would get at school. Also my husbands food was great , crab, prawns to start and halibut for main. That I understand to £68, but for vegetarian it was ridiculous. Even in Michelin star restaurant, the set menus or tasting veg menu is a little cheaper , so this place is just taking advantage. Vegetarian/ vegan food has come a long way and many chefs have learnt the art to take a vegetable and turn it into a incredible meal. This place has clearly not adopted this and think serving some spaghetti in tomato sauce with no seasoning is fine dining! Even other items on the veg menu didn’t look great. If you are vegetarian/vegan, do not eat here. Plus side, deserts were great and main menu was good ( according to my husband)

A god old fashioned bakery lovely roll made up for me excellent range of cakes and breads a great shop in central Cromer town

Had coffee here.. taste was average 😊

I've been here a couple of times for the chefs table and we have had a great time, couldn't recommend it enough. The whole experience is exceptional.

A decent pot of tea! An interesting exhibition to look around which is free to view.

Fresh, cooked to order, delicious and affordable!! I wish I lived near this fish and chips I’d be there weekly! Visited due to the reviews on here and it did not disappoint. Large cod fresh and tasty, chips fluffy and crisp, gorgeous food. We also had the curry sauce and sausage in batter. Will be back when we visit Eastbourne.

Excellent food, good portions, nice and hot, and a reasonable price. Nice country pub with good ales and a very efficient service. What more could you ask for.

I've been going since i was in secondary school and the guys have never let me down. Ali especially is doing his dad proud with the service, good job mate

Fantastic little place great food and atmosphere friendly staff
