The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Called in for lunch. Hadn't booked but was given a table. Told someone would come to take the order. After a while waiting I went to order at the bar as I could see they were quite busy serving and the phone was ringing. Not an issue. Staff pleasant and friendly. Steak and kidney pie with chips and veg and a Wharf burger with onion rings, chips and salad. Absolutely delicious and plenty of it. Ate as much as we could then sat outside watching the ducks on the canal. The pub is tastefully decorated and set in beautiful surroundings. I highly recommend a visit.

I was slightly disappointed in our tasting menu experience. The staff were lovley and the quality of the cooking was excellent but it all left me unsatisfied. The atmosphere of the reastraunt is cold. The cool colours, wide spaces, and nothing to break up the light sources all contributed to this feeling of exposure. The food itself was interesting but lacked acid and depth. I love eating new ingredients, but it felt like I was limited to my parents' organic veg box with no acid to really liven it up. I wanted a pickled element in almost every dish. Even the desserts, which were rhubarb( one of the sharpest fruits) and the baked cream, were very one-note. There is no acid and no real substance to either. All the dishes lacked substance. I was craving carbohydrates the whole way through. I felt like we had the gluten-free menu. The meat course, quail was the least inspired I felt, I wanted crunch, I wanted sauce, I wanted acid, I wanted layers! I wanted a carb! If you are going to roast a beautiful quail leg like a mini roast dinner, then give me more!

Amazing quality large portion best cheese n mushroom omelette I've had with loads of freshly fried chips ooh and a salad . Great pot of English breakfast tea to accompany... Was just over a tenner , beautiful surroundings genuinely friendly people that care about what they produce on a plate for you . Can't wait to pay them a return visit. I'm a hungry large person this did the trick

Fantastic pub, excellent on all fronts from high quality food, friendly service to really nice ambiance of a genuine old english pub feel. I particularly enjoyed the home made sauerkraut, potatoes which were sweet and buttery without any need for salt or anything else, just quality ingredients throughout. My kids also finished all their plates - thank you again

Amazing !! Well worth a visit . Stunning place and cuisine . Book in advance is best . Great for a special occasion

Great cafe that always do a decent breakfast... I've been going to Seymours for well over 20yrs and the standard is as good now as it has always been....

Fantastic food as always and friendly service. Reasonably priced for the quality of food. It's nice to have something a bit more interesting to eat.

Brunch visit just after midday., short wait outside - but well advised about time and offered free Tea for warmth (along with heat lamp burning away) I had the Grill up Almost my best ever breakfast But the sausages were a bit grainy Everything else amazing Would go again 9.5 out of 10

A very interesting restaurant, imitating the medieval style, there is a candle on each table, and most of the food is served with fingers! The food was very delicious. I ordered a chicken and ribs. The ribs are sweet, which I especially like as a southerner. For dessert, I had strawberry marshmallow ice cream, which was also very delicious (lack of words). Almost the most delicious meal I have ever had in the UK 😋 Recommended!

We were riding the Swale Trail from The Dales Cycle Centre to Gunnerside with our 5 year old and 2 year old. We battled wind and rain for 4 hours and finally arrived at Gunnerside exhausted (especially the 2 little ones) and decided to have a drink and dry off. We purchased a Pint, a half, two glasses of apple juice, Mini Chedders and a Twix for £15.10. We asked if they were serving food, the bar lady explained they were not. Having taken a seat inside, our kids were starving so we gave them sandwiches from their pack lunch that they were unable to eat on the ride as it had been pouring with rain for most of it (we didn't think a twix and mini cheddars were enough sustenance for a 2 and 5 year old). We were exhausted, but happy after a hard ride and thankful to be inside in the warm during heavy rain. 5 minutes later, someone from the kitchen headed over and tells us the kids can't eat their own sandwiches in the pub! I explained that we'd just bought £15 of drinks and snacks and unfortunately they were not serving food and the kids were starving. The lady told us rather rudely that "we should have planned better" and insisted the kids could not eat their tiny sandwiches. Frankly this attitude was so unnecessary and petty. We were going to spend another £15 on another round of drinks, but given the attitude and being made to feel unwelcome we instead headed home. What seemed like an ok pit stop on a bike ride is actually a tired establishment with a bad attitude. Would not recommend.

A tad pricey but it is normal.for lovely pubs like this, book in advance

What a real gem of a place. Absolutely beautiful accommodation, clean and has everything you could want. No faults at all. From a friendly and quick check in to the fabulous breakfast everything was great. We will be back. Great location for walking or if you’re attending a wedding at the nearby Haybarn, home farm venue.

Brilliant. Full 3 course meal, everything was brilliant. The service was great as well. Cannot find a single fault with it.

The team work hard to make your experience a memorable one. The food is excellent and the service is friendly and professional. The standard is higher than you might expect at a local restaurant which makes it such a super local gem. Run by a family it really shows when celebrating a family occasion. The chefs are clearly very experienced and know what excellent looks and tastes like. The steaks and seafood are really really good. Don't miss the apple pie either!

Great food! I had both the starter and mains specials which are on every weekend and they didn’t disappoint. Staff were efficient and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed, will definitely return again and again!
