The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Went for lunch rotisserie chickens not ready so waitress offered alternative I ordered my usual simply chicken when it came to the table it had chips waitress then informed me jacket potatoes not ready Maybe if she had said that when I ordered like the chickens I would have ordered something else Won’t be rushing back anytime soon So disappointed!!!!

Arrived at cafe approx 1.00 pm, party of four. We adhered to the ‘please wait sign before being seated ‘ for couple of minutes and no one came so as there were empty seats we proceeded to sit down. Shortly thereafter a young girl , waitress, appeared and began chastising us while literally throwing the menus in front of us. She launched into a tirade about ‘in the future wait before taking a seat the signs are there for a reason’! We accept that you clearly expect protocol to be followed to the letter busy or not. However I think it’s fair to expect to be spoken to in a professional, respectful manner and not an angry attitudinal one as we experienced from this young girl today. We have been long time weekly regulars but after this incident , sad to say will not be returning!

Lovely pub at the end of a nice walk.

Visiting Port Issac to buy lobsters. Decided to have a light lunch at the Mote. Lovely welcome, sat down stairs. My wife had the leek & courgette soup & i had the crab & cheese melt. All the food was very tasty & well presented. Very enjoyable lunch.

Cosy, atmospheric restaurant which we look forward to trying again on our next visit to Bowness. Staff are lovely and provide efficient, friendly service. Food and wine reasonably priced. We felt the meals were well presented and tasty - there was an issue with one of our mains but the owner was very receptive to our comments and arranged a small adjustment to our bill. A nice place, we would definitely recommend.

The location styling and ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic, it’s just a shame the food did not meet the same standards We skipped starters and went straight to the main menu. We had “Oceans Muscles” & “Summerberry Fillet Steak”. The muscles were ok, a good sized portion that were tasty and neatly delivered. The sauce was nice albeit a little thick. The menu advertised the dish would come with “chunky chips & bread for Dunking,” the bread was forgotten. A side of vegetables ordered alongside this dish were also forgotten. The Summeryberry Fillet Steak is one of the more expensive items on the menu. It was really disappointing and not worth the £36.95. The meat itself was ok, a good size and well cooked. The garnish looked really sad and wilted, the Brie that is served on top of the steak was thin & bland, but worst of all was the summer fruits. They looked, felt and tasted like they had just been defrosted and placed around the plate to make it look fancy and colourful. It made the whole dish taste really sharp, the ingredients just didn’t compliment one another. Ordered alongside this was the Baytrees “famous” garlic cheesy new potato’s. Microwaved garlic butter and melted cheese stuck under a grill for a minute or two? Not sure how, but again it was really watery. Overall we were so disappointed we skipped desert, settled up having had to challenge the missing items on the bill and left. It’s not somewhere we would go back to.

We had a lovely time here. Jane our waitress was excellent. Nothing was too much. The chef even fixed the birthday cake that had fallen apart on journey. Thank you

To all staff, we attended with 17 Bobbys staff over 2 nights, your hospitality, quality food and service was simply first class, excellent and extensive menu, fine Guinness and very reasonably priced, we will 100% be back, you should call yourselves TOP IN THE TOWN because you are, well done and massive thanks to you all👍👍👍

Can not fault the food and staff at Florios. All of it delicious and always coming out fresh and warm. They cater for large groups as well as just for couples, with its unique atmosphere.

Absolutely lovely restaurant - great service and fabulous food. Excellent venue for a special birthday celebration - and the staff couldn't have been more attentive. We'll be back very soon!

The staff were really friendly the steak was beautiful couldn’t fault it and would recommend. They even helped with dietary needs

Having had a really enjoyable visit with my parents last year we returned on a Sunday evening. Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our meals and received excellent service. I had a burger again which was cooked nicely and had great flavours. The bun was a bit dry though. I had it with truffle parmesan fries and they were great. My Mum had mixed grill hanging kebab. All really good quality meats. She swapped fries for a portion of garlic broccoli. My Dad opted for the roast again and that was also fantastic. Clean plates all round.

Absolutely love this place definitely one of the best carvery’s about Staff always warm and welcoming. Would certainly recommend.

Lovely evening, great staff, really helpful and nothing too much trouble. Really fab food! Highly recommended. Looking forward to going back.

This was a lovely experience, the food was not ' swimming in grease' as i saw from another review, but it was great to see that the more recent reviews have been validated. We went here for my birthday at the end of october and honestly everything was really lovely . the service was great they were so friendly from the getgo, the charcuterie board we had for starter was very filling and diverse just wish they would have told us what the cheeses were ( i think the brie was from tain though it was familair) but thats a minor niggle that we had no info. the main courses were fab the skin on chips were AMAZING , and its a dog friendly place which we loved , we dont have dogs but we did get to pet some which made our day !
