The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Our second time here. Menu has changed to Ala Carte for Sunday lunch and it was great for a group of six to have such an interesting choice of dishes for each course. Great cocktails and wines with the meal. Michelin star food but at really great prices. Would recommend going for a special occasion, it’s totallly worth it.

No one does an egg, hash brown and cheese sandwich better than Bar Bruno

I only moved to the area last year and I was recommended to to this lovely pub and its staff who served me with the best modules mariniere I have had outside France. So, imagine my disappointment when Spring arrived and modules disappeared from the summer menu may- although their pub staple of ham, egg and chips was high class. Last week I met with friends to try the 2024 winter menu. The ham, egg and chips were as good as ever and the cider battered haddock was enjoyed but the modules topped them both. Sweet shallots, garlic and white wine bathed the plump mussels set,off by a topping of parsley. The chef managed to get a wonderful depth of sweet flavour to the dish which came in both starter and main dish sizes.. The service was as friendly as ever and the beer is well kept. Thank you.

We come here a lot as the food and the staff are amazing! Very friendly place that cater for lots of different diets. We have allergies but I’m completely confident eating this wonderful food. Thanks for always looking after us and our dietary needs.

The food at the White Swan is lovely. I’ve been numerous times as this is my local pub. However, the service doesn’t always match the standard of the food. There is a middle aged lady who works there, with brown hair who is fab, very friendly and attentive. Whenever this lady is on shift, you can’t fault it. However, this is the third time that I’ve been, where this lady hasn’t been on shift and the customer service in the pub is severely lacking. Tonight, the only interaction from staff we had, was to order our food and when it was served. The very basics were there, but I recommend staff avoid discussing personal conversations and online shopping, and focus on the customers who are dinning. If the younger staff have training in customer service, the pub will be spot on.

The Marcliffe has changed hands recently and I'd hoped the high standards would remain. Sadly this is not the case. The food is still excellent but the service is sadly lacking. I suspect this is due to inexperienced staff and poor leadership. I had to ask to have a pre-prandial drink despite arriving 30 minutes before our allotted reservation time. We were given the wrong menus initially. We were brought the wrong bottles of wine (both of them!). The cutlery had fingerprints on them. I had to ask for our wine to be poured on more than one occasion. So disappointing and I hope things improve as the Marcliffe is/was one if our favourites.

Went for a late lunch and ordered all the sides to share...absolutely delicious food. Such a range of interesting flavours. It looks like the menu changes regularly which makes sense as it's not a big menu but everything looked fabulous. We were all happy with our food. The shaved cauliflower salad was amazing, as were the green and confit potatoes. Friendly service and a very small voluntary charity contribution, which is great. Very happy.

Had a lovely breakfast in a lovely setting. Very attentive staff, great coffee, and super quality on food. Had 3 cooked breakfasts that were lovely with the additional black pudding sublime.

Very Greasy over priced soggy chips and oil is not drained off the fish, oil tastes old. Never again as made me feel sick

I love this pub. The girls are all lovely, polite and friendly, striking the right balance of moving the service along, but never feeling rushed. The food last night was amazing! I went for the BBQ pulled pork Loaded Fries and it did not disappoint! On ordering, I felt the simple dish seemed expensive, being around the £18 mark, but on eating it it felt worth every penny 😋

Went here on a quite Monday afternoon. Service was super fast, food delicious and the hot chocolate was great too. Had the French toast which was delicious the perfect amount of maple syrup. The naughty hot chocolate with Baileys was divine. Really well decorated in a garden theme. Lots of outdoor seating with cosy blankets and lighting.

Restaurant fabuleux. Le chef cuisine devant vous. Assiettes fabuleuses et super bonnes. Le personnel est adorable. Je recommande fortement

Friendly welcome-great selection of malt whiskies and beer. Best Cornish home made pasty I have tasted. Stunning location

First time for me but won't be the last.

We all had a super meal as usual, never disappoints, excellent choice, very efficient friendly staff.
