The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Exceptional Sunday roast, thank you. We were made very welcome by the friendly staff who accommodated us and our dog despite having not booked and during peak service. The house wine was excellent and the local real ale perfect. Thanks again, highly recommended

Enjoyed food. More custard needed with desert.

We were really pleased to enjoy a great meal. The food was excellent Better than some of the higher end places we ate. Would very much recommend this restaurant

I'm absolutely gutted as I came here on my own last year and the Sunday lunch was amazing. I'm back in melrose with my friends and told them we must go to the ship for lunch. Phoned ahead booked a table for th4 of us and the dinner was disgusting!! The food was only warm gravy was like water my friends was disgusted I felt so embarrassed after reccomending this place, we ate most of it as we were starving but I won't go back again for food.😢😢😢 Tinned carrot's and peas really for the amount yous charge.

We have eaten here before but have only ever sat outside for drinks/snacks. On this occasion we sat indoors for a full cooked meal at lunchtime. The internal decor was pleasant and the ambiance excellent. Despite being almost full there was a very quiet and refined atmosphere. The menu was varied, interesting and most mains were around £15. Everything we had was delicious and well cooked. The shepherds pie was exceptionally good - the best I’ve ever had. Our only criticism would be the rather too ’al dente’ veg. The service was exemplary and we will definitely return.

We enjoyed our visit, friendly staff. Cakes were ok, I had a loaf slice which was nice but thought it was a bit thin of a slice! Haha. It’s quite small inside with a lovely outside terrace area with amazing views but with a pram it wasn’t easy for us to try and access that area so we sat inside.

We regularly go to the MK Beefeater as we have never had a problem or a bad meal. It is always 10/10. We find the staff so helpful and friendly, Not only does the lovely food keep bringing us back but the staff, they really do everything they can to make sure you have a lovely experience. Michelle and Georgina looked after us on this visit thank you for making it a lovely day , especially for my 90 year old mum.

£7 for a pie, however jam packed and delicious! Bought some for home, they tell me they’ll freeze and give you a little leaflet about reheating at home. The problem is… they were eaten way before we got home. They were so good.

Great pub, very good food, a nice atmosphere and great service. Would definitely recommend!

Best place I have been comfortable and friendly hope it re-opens soon

Not been in many years.Still as good as ever.Food and the young lady waiting table was excellent.Will be back very soon .

Service-fine Plenty of choice including game. Food-good but why be mean with vegetables? Vegetables are not costly so more than potato plus one green would be better

We have been here many times over the years and looked forward to our visit again this year. What a disappointment. We had a cream tea which consisted of a pot of tea, 2 scones, butter, cream and jam. The jam and cream pots were half the size they used to be and the butter was barely there, adequate enough for one scone but certainly not two. The jug of milk supplied did not have enough milk for one cup of tea and we had to ask for extra. I do not drink tea and asked for my tea to be substituted with coffee, big mistake, it was undrinkable. Went we went to pay we were told 'cash only' and I was lucky to find some cash in the bottom of my bag. This should be made clear when you enter and before you order as a lot of people do not carry cash. Our experience was so different to every other visit we wondered if there were 'new owners' but overheard the owner telling other visitors that she had been there 17 years. Sadly will not be returning.

We were having dinner with family and friends. The resturant was not crowed. SERVICE was spotty. The quality of food was poor The grouse was like "shoe leather" and way over cooked. The sea bass was cold and tough. We told them they needed to hire a new chef. When we complained we received a free desert as if this justified the 300 pound bill. Avoid this resturant. You are better off with pub food

Nine of us met for a get together after 64 years!! We were in primary school together. Although I have been to the Daffodil many times, this was the first time on a Saturday evening. The welcome was great, and were left to chat whilst deciding what everyone wanted. Only a few had starters, but they were rated 100%the main courses all came out together(how did they do that !!) Everyone rated the food as excellent. A wonderful 5 hours later we left, and everyone confirmed we would do the same again next year.thank you to everyone at the Daffodil for a great evening.
