The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Arrived in the area on Thursday. Stopped for a coffee on Friday morning. super cafe staff lovely . We would like to mention the lady who served us sadly We don’t know her name she was so nice gave us lots of tips of places to visit in the area we have followed her advice and had a great holiday. Many thanks

With my partner we have travelled up to the fabulous Borders once or twice a week for in excess of a decade. We have always found the Cornhill Village Shop to be a great model for how these businesses can not just survive, but thrive to the benefit of the whole community. Without the Cornhill Village Shop local people would be faced with a 13-mile drive into Berwick or Kelso, often there is not even a bus-service and it is a long walk! They are a Grocery Shop, Delicatessen, Freezer Centre, cafe with outdoor seating, Off Licence, Gift shop, Card shop, Newsagent, National lottery & Health lottery agent, they have a full- time Post Office, they are a parcel collection & distribution point for Amazon etc., they stock bread, butter, bacon, cheese, milk & other everyday meals & ingredients. They sell a variety of fresh sandwiches, a good selection of pies from Foreman's of Norham, and they bake their own pies in increasingly large numbers every day single day. As soon as the Cornhill Gin Distillery opened they were supporting the business wholeheartedly, not just by drinking the gin, but by stocking it prominently on the counter as soon as they could. The truck-drivers who regularly frequent the Cornhill Village Shop are very pleasant, good-humoured local people, who are the life-blood of the Borders, often working long anti-social hours to supply the needs of the Borders community & earn a living. Julie and Linda employ lovely, thoughtful and friendly local staff & are a critically important local trainer and employer. And in spite of being a very busy shop, they take the time to exchange pleasantries, make customers welcome, and provide a vital communications hub for the elderly and disabled. If this is not enough I have seen how selflessly Julie and Linda give of their time, and seriously integrate with the local community. They are an enthusiastic part of Borders Links, Linda regularly organises Macmillan coffee mornings at the Village Hall, they delivered whatever was required by those who had to isolate during COVID and they Frequent local establishments in the evening such as the Collingwood Arms. Great people, doing a great job for the community. Well done to Linda, Julie and all of their staff.

Fantastic home made food. Great value and huge portion sizes. The service was fantastic, couldn’t do enough for you. Will definitely be going back again and recommending friends and family to visit.

We come up on holiday to Shetland to see family and this place is our top choice for eating out. Fantastic food, interesting surroundings and absolutely lovely hosts. I could not recommend this place more!

Large family meal for an 80th birthday, really well catered for. Lovely food. Friendly staff. Decent wine selection. Great value. Also a lovely outside area for the kids.

This is a place where everybody is pleased to see you.Everyone says hello.The coffee is good and at present with a home made mince pie great value

Great fun on a Friday night - ukulele duo so, so good! Great covers of a range of songs and so talented! Great evening! The Rock rocks!

All the sandwiches and the steak pie were excellent. All breads are made fresh daily and the sweets are delicious. Limited seating but we did eat lunch inside.

Amazing food delicious breakfast 5*I love bringing my kids in the morning for a breakfast

You won't eat a more English breakfast anywhere

Best pub in the territory and probably best pub in Luton/Stopsley area...dog friendly....quirky atmosphere...always warm no matter how cold is outside...The owner he is a real welcome friendly person...always ready to cook for you and put drinks for you....my heart is always in the right place there....Thank you Guy......

Just had our weekly dose, as it were. Sometimes we have to drop in between Saturdays because we get withdrawal symptoms it's so good. Today we had cod and chips as usual but today it was more than the usual excellent. it was the best piece of fish I have ever had in a chip shop. The chips were to die for as usual and the chicken chunks were spot on too.

An amazing location. Staff were very welcoming. Will definitely be back soon. I also enjoyed the man on the guitar playing some cool music. We should see more of that.

Lovely people very helpful and friendly, good cafe food

We lounged here for hours till check-in and service throughout was effecient, attentive (Sujeewa and Dwayne) without making us feel awkward for leisurely lunching on a sandwich dish and a lunch bowl (and some drinks). Food was decent!
