The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Stopped here for a drink, didn't have food. Great selection of beers, nice friendly staff. Really nice place inside and a great outdoor beer garden. Decent size carpark, will be visiting here again, can recommend this pub.

Under new management - Excellent food, value for money, spotlessly clean, friendly staff. Will definitely return - highly recommended.

Popped in for lunch after walking the dogs at Steps Bridge, a truly traditional village tea room, a warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble, small, select menu of panini’s, jacket potatoes, cakes and afternoon tea’s, all freshly prepared to order, absolute delight of a find, will visit again

We purchased some goodies from their stall during an event. The cob was rustic and delicious and the vegan sausage rolls are probably the best we've ever eaten. Unfortunately we didn't have the chance to try the yummy looking cakes because the dog stole them from the kitchen worktop. Due to the cake containing currants, we then had a horrible time at the vets waiting to see if this had impacted on her kidney function. I messaged the bakery for information about the ingredients of the cake and they were super helpful. They continued to show compassion and interest in the welfare of our pooch, who thankfully came out the other side healthy. They were even kind enough to offer us some free cake. Hoping we can visit in person one day.

Tasty food, very child friendly and a nice shady courtyard. The menu is a bit different with some nice options for adults but also plenty of choice for kids meals (eg sausage, chicken nuggets etc). The staff couldn’t have been nicer, would definitely recommend.

Absolutely lovely time, and a big thanks to Karen @ the complex, a lovely lunch, with lots of TLC, and made the birthday lunch special. Followed by great kid’s entertainment with the animals & science show! Brilliant team, brilliant show, we will be back!! Thank you for going out your way to make us relaxed and happy!

An excellent evening out with good imaginative well cook food. The service was cheerful and adequate. Those involved from preparation, cooking and serving should be proud of themselves.

Very disappointed ,,, ended up ordering cream tea for me ,,,, small cheap scone ,,,, obviously heated yes hot scone ,,, with cream and jam ,,,,, was presented to me strate away , ,,,, my companion had ordered a meal ,, which came after I had eaten my scone ,,, and then finally the tea came ,,,, waitress was unable to smile ,,,

Absolute gem. Great attention to detail in well curated small plates. Understated establishment where the food is forward. Wine and cocktail list superb. Service a terrific blend of friendly and professional. Not a touristy dining experience. Gourmand’s delight.

This pub has been bought by the villagers. It’s is wonderful in so many ways. Cowbridge seems to be a black hole of decent food aside from the hare and hounds and maple and bean. This felt like a proper community pub in the 90s. The staff were all amazing. The food was amazing. There wasn’t a 400% markup on rubbish wine. The service as great. The atmosphere was lovely. Great starters of crab and squid were followed by perfectly cooked steak. The doughnuts with custard cream and strawberries were lovely. No rip off frozen food or “small plates” that nobody likes here. Go and support places like this. The rest of cowbridge eateries need to up their game.

Hemos pasado por delante del Colectivo muchas veces así que pensamos en intentarlo un domingo por la mañana. Siempre parece estar ocupado, lo que era una buena señal, pero salimos decepcionados. Tomamos café y, por curiosidad, un par de (creo) queso y pasteles daneses marmitas. ¡Mala jugada! No podía probar ni el queso ni la marmita. El café estaba bien, pero servido en vasos de papel que nos parece asqueroso. No es culpa del café pero los niños rebeldes no ayudaron a la experiencia. Mucha suerte a la gente que ha montado The Collective -es bueno ver alternativas a las grandes cadenas- pero no creo que volvamos.

This Cafe is now called the Station Cafe. Super friendly staff. I only had a sandwich before catching the train but is was lovely and filling. Will have to get there earlier next time so I can sit down for a Breakfast.

First time we ordered here to be unest it's wosh great fast service and oll hot 🔥 nice one thank u very ceep up the good service and food

Stayed here for one night whilst walking the Limestone way. Room was spacious and comfortable and breakfast was really tasty. Was great to see the cows on the farm and to watch the birds in the garden on the feeder. A little bit remote in terms of location and we could hear the owners in the room below during the early evening.

We had an excellent fish and chips lunch- simply delicious. So fresh and perfectly cooked. Best ever...
