The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

My wife and I called in on a Friday lunchtime on the spur of the moment. First impression is that it is a popular location so would probably be best to make a reservation. We were made to feel very welcome by staff and soon found a choice of two tables. The pub itself has a cosy ambience still feeling like the old coaching inn it once was, Tastefully decorated in keeping with the pubs heritage Staff courteous and amenable without being overbearing. I decided to have the soup of the day off the specials list, one of the best potato and leek soups I have had, served with a crispy bread and garlic and herb butter. My wife chose the steak frites as her main course, after much deliberation I chose the steak and ale pie opting for fries in stead of chips with a gorgeous portion of savoy cabbage. Meal was served promptly, piping hot, very well presented with a good portion size. Truly enjoyed my lunch, food was hand prepared and of high quality. Hardest decision was which main course to choose as I liked so many of them. I guess I will just have to return try the other choices. Particular thanks to our waitress I think she was called Lottie Very enjoyable experience would recommend without hesitation, much more than your average pub lunch - good effort!

This is a lovely welcoming cafe with great choice of food and coffee. The falafel sandwhich and pancakes were delicious

Fantastic in every aspect. Will definitely return.

Friendly staff, excellent service and outstanding food

My partner and I chose The Green Tree Hotel restaurant for dinner on Friday Feb 14th 2025, as they had a special Valentines Day Menu. We were disappointed in its choice so opted for their regular menu. I ordered a burger with bacon and cheese. The burger was DEFINITELY shop-bought and the bacon, hard. My partner's chicken curry had raisins in it, a throwback to the '70's I think. Furthermore, the lighting was WAY too bright for a romantic Valentines Day setting. WHAT a disappointment!

Lovely warm and friendly hosts, delicious food and a stunning view from our charming and spotlessly clean room. We will be back

Phenomenal food, very welcoming atmosphere due to the interior and staff

First time visiting here. Beautiful location great staff and lovely food good portions and very tasty. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended 👌

Delicious fish and chips and award winning pies. In the summer ring ahead and book your fish and chips ready to collect. Out of season we still rang to book and collect.

This place has shut down Didn’t even tell Google it’s closed

We really enjoyed our visit to the Bus Stop Cafe on our trip to NYC! It is in a great location, and the staff and food were both wonderful. I had the kale salad and my husband had the Reuben sandwich, and both were amazing. This was a great lunch stop, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal in the area! It was well worth the visit.

Frankie is a friendly guy who knows his products well. The food is excellent and reasonably priced I had the chilli prawns which were sumptuous. Get there before the season ends, you won’t taste better.

Not far from the City centre and worth the 5 minute walk. Very clean and tidy establishment with a good choice of beers. The bar staff were pleasant and professional, it is refreshing when bar staff remember your previous round and say ‘same again’ and crack on with it. Did not eat here, but the menu looked good, so we will look at returning.
