The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Heard this was a great place to eat. Food was very poor and when we complained about our childs meal the manager was rude about our daughter. Definately not family friendly. Will not go back

We came to Penzance for a work trip, and used the hotel for dinner/breakfast. Staff were lovely, as were the rooms and food. Highly recommend. Will certainly be back!

Had a lovely dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The staff, food, service and ambience were all excellent and we look forward to returning soon.

Very disappointing visit overall - Made by Jonty has been on our list to try for a while but we have only ever been for coffees before and wanted to try out their brunch menu. Sadly, we won't be coming back again. The service wasn’t great—our waitress came to take drink orders, got halfway through, and then just walked off before taking the rest of the table’s. Not a huge deal in itself, but it kind of set the tone for the rest of the experience. There were also a missing ingredients from the items we ordered and no offer of alternatives, which was frustrating. I ordered the waffles and was really let down—they were clearly the pre-packaged Belgian ones that come pre-sugared, topped with a very sweet compote, chocolate sauce and cream. I’ve got a sweet tooth and usually go straight for the sugary options on a breakfast menu, but this was way too much—even I couldn’t eat it. Everyone at the table tried a bite and all had the same reaction—just overwhelmingly sweet and not in a good way. Sadly, I had to send them back because I genuinely did not think they were edible. Even if the flavour had been better, it’s hard to justify over £10 for store-bought waffles with some toppings thrown on. The rest of the food around the table was average at best—nothing terrible, but nothing to rave about. Overall, extremely underwhelming. I did speak to the owner and politely asked if there was any chance the waffle could be taken off the bill. I was totally understanding that he might say no, since I had ordered it—but the way it was handled was pretty poor. He was defensive and dismissive, which really put a dampener on the whole thing. I feel like there are much better ways to have that conversation with a customer. Sadly won't be returning for even a coffee anymore after the experience and disappointed it didn't live up to expectations after all the rave reviews on Google. Note post reply from Made by Jonty: Sadly, I am even more infuriated by my experience now, as the response from Jonty is simply not true. Firstly, I had only eaten around 10% of the dish and when we were asked if the food was ok my friend responded yes (because hers was fine) before I had chance to respond. I also never stated that it was unreasonable to decline removing the item from the bill. I fully understand that Jonty has a business to run (and I said this when politely asking for the item to be removed) but I had issue with the attitude with which he declined to remove it, and the quality of the item itself. The food was simply inedible, and respect and Integrity were missing from that interaction, that is where the issue lied.

Went to Woodman 19.4. 2025, ordered sirloin steak, the meat was very tough,couldn’t even chew it. 1/2 tomato, 1/2 mushroom and some green salad leaves and it was £28. Won’t be visiting again.

Visited the Corbie Inn for the first time for lunch. The service was top-notch and catered for my dietary requirements well (gluten & dairy free). The food was very nice with a good selection on the menu. The atmosphere was slightly lacking as we were the only ones there, but it meant we got brilliant service from the waiters!

Great evening for my friend’s birthday, which was noticed by the staff. Our waiter Harry kindly gifted us a free dessert on the house to celebrate. The live music was also amazing.

Always busy, but we'll be worth the wait. Michael, the owner, is very social, too.

Went for my birthday today which we have been doing for many years. Never disappointed. Food, service, ambience always excellent. Darren and his staff are attentive but not intrusive. We always acknowledge the chefs on our way out which they appreciate. If you haven’t been you must it is a lovely community based bistro.

Absolutely phenomenal. Amazing food and brilliantly attentive staff. Could not recommended enough !!

Had a meal here last night and would definitely recommend. The food was excellent. The service first class, and excellent value for money. Many thanks

Friendly pub, food looked nice. Worth a visit.

We stopped here for lunch while we were away and it was a lovely place! We had a jacket potato with beans, cheese and coleslaw, the burger, a breakfast and a kids sausage, chips and peas. Portions were very generous and the staff were friendly too.

Lovely place, seriously amazing breakfast. Bedroom clean and cute with nice little bits of ephemera, bathroom sparkling, lots of nice little touches, comfy bar, family run, dog friendly, and I need to say it again - best breakfast ever. Thanks all, my wife and I will be back.

We had a wonderful meal at the laughing fish for mother's day. The pub is cosy and has a great atmosphere with outdoor seating for the sunny weather. The staff were welcoming and friendly with brilliant service. The food was amazing with a very varied menu with lots of choices! We can't wait to return to try the Thai menu which looks delicious! Thanks for having us 😊
