The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We recently visited The Anchorage and were blown away by the experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm, welcoming staff who made us feel right at home—even as English visitors in Scotland! The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, and absolutely worth every penny. We also loved the special touches, like the dedicated kids’ and dog menus, which made the whole family feel included. Highly recommend this place for anyone in the area—it's a must-visit! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re up here.

Absolutely fab pub🙂. Great beer, great food and super friendly. If you're in the area give these guys a try, you won't be disappointed 10/10👍

Would Recommend Lovely place to eat. Excellent quality food, friendly and great service.

Very nice pub with a pleasant garden. Pool table at the back and a decent juke box.

Cracking old school country pub. Lovely friendly locals too

Fabulous Sunday lunch today in Nossa. Amazed it was full. It should be! Scallops were perfect, all mains were great. Delicious light deserts. Wonderful!

Never fails as a solid fish and chips shop for locals, run by locals.

We booked a room for an event, the room itself was fantastic, the bathroom however was a different story! My girlfriend was in the shower and was then asked if she could stop due to it leaking into the pub downstairs, she still had conditioner in her hair. After about 15 minutes I enquired with the barman (who was very pleasant and stuck in a situation that wasn't his fault) he explained that he couldn't get through to the manager and to let my girlfriend just use the shower to continue to clean her hair. He also explained the since they had no more rooms we were unable to switch. Whilst my girlfriend was in the shower the shower handle came off. Along with the issues with the shower the toilet also leaked from the base. We waited until we had to leave to see someone but upon leaving still saw nobody to resolve the issue!

We held my daughter Erin and son in law Alans wedding reception here. What a great reception it was! Huge thanks to all the staff- what a crew!! They each were so helpful and friendly I couldn't thank them enough. I felt they went out of their way for us, but they insist it's what they do. Jason, Donna, James ..all of you, you made the day perfect! Lynn.

Just having a full English with bacon, sausages and eggs from your lovely shop. Amazing quality and flavour.

Honestly I have no idea why this restaurant had such a high review. The food was actively terrible, and I am not a picky eater. It also was so expensive. The service was not friendly and very slow. The restaurants was dirty and smelled strange. We stayed at the hotel, which was lovely, but I would NOT recommend eating at the restaurant.

Lovely cafe in Southdown, Harpenden. Sunny side of the road with outside seating.

We had a stay local to this pub , but this is a real gem. We had Friday night meal absolutely excellent. Then again Sunday dinner ( roast ) , we will be back for sure . Food brilliant But the pub is one of the friendliest we've been to by far in a while. Support this pub it deserves it
