The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Came in for Sunday roast and food was 10/10, best roast we have had for quite a while. What lacked was the service. We booked for 3pm and whilst we appreciate we entered at a busy time wrapping up peak time, service received wasn’t great from the off. One particular server seemed to be in quite a mood and was remarkably blunt “no” when we asked questions about getting some extra yorkshires (which we were a bit surprised the pork meal didn’t come with, but our fault for not reading the menu properly!) Plus someone seemed to think it was a great idea to loudly polish/sort out the cutlery at the bar, which was right next to our table, making conversation quite difficult and picked up by all 4 members of our party. Shame as food was amazing and would go back, but service lacked. 3pm bookings just as important as 12pm as all paying the same!

Great Sunday lunch food excellent and swift service. Cosy atmosphere and staff friendly and helpful it's definitely worth a visit.

stayed while in the area on business. check in was smooth process so quickly got to my room. Room was clear & spacious with a nice, comfy bed. However, after looking closer at the bed it was covered in black hairs, Slightly off-putting. Had dinner in the on site resturant which was very good. Service however was a bit slow, took almost 25 minutes to order our mains & another 40 minutes to receive them. Had a great nights sleep except being woke up at 6am by a knock on the door. No one was there????  breakfast in the morning was good but service again wasn't great. Asked for white toast, got brown. Asked for scrambled on toast, no toast. Asked for tea for two & got one cup out of the pot. Overall, good stay but needs a few improvements in some areas.

Had lunch here today. What fantastic food. I had Sea Bass and it was so good. I would definitely order this same dish again. We were also served the battered haddock and that was just as good. Lovely crispy batter and so fresh. Great food and the best service. Staff were very friendly and helpful despite being busy. What a place, hope to be going back soon.

WOW WOW WOW just had the most amazing dinner I had the lamb and my husband had the sirloin steak both of which were cooked to perfection. The portions are very generous and came out piping hot

Had a lovely takeaway from the Shaan Indian Restaurant up stairs at The River Inn, it was absolutely fantastic delicious food and great portions at a great price. Curries were fresh and delicious, the pakora was tasty with a large variety in the mixed pakora. I went to collect on a Friday night and would advise booking for a table as it was full.

Wife had to wait 5 minutes at the empty bar so i went and told the staff and the reply to me was " it can't have been 5 minutes " not sorry, sir, we are on the way...NOT very personal

We visited the Bulls head as a last minute decision and we can honestly say we are so glad we did! The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food was great. Freshly cooked and delicious. Could ask for more and we will definitely be back.

As locals who drink in The Standard every week we've just encountered some 'friends of the owners' who were appalling. Verbally abused my Husband and Dad. I will never visit this place again. The barman had to apologise. Disgusting.

Dîner en famille chez Bertie's, les avis nous ont plutôt incité à visiter cette adresse. Le décor et l'accueil sont très bien mais nous avons été un peu déçus de la qualité des fish and chips entre autres. Ce n'était pas forcément les moins bons que nous ayons goûter mais certainement pas les meilleurs. Nous nous sommes laissés tenter par c'est drôle d'idée de dessert, la barre mars frie et c'est encore plus décevant. Attention ils ajoutent 10 % d'office en pourboire sur la note finale vous pouvez refuser mais c'est plus que fortement imposé.

Terrible experience. I ordered as I walked in and stood in the queue. I find out later that the big new guy didn't order my haddock to be cooked. When it was my turn to be served I could see there was no haddock available in the usual place on the warming shelf, so I gave them more time and stood at the back waiting patiently. Then I saw the guy who walked in after me, was served his haddock, so I stepped forward to ask about mine. The two new people behind the counter just looked at each other, went red, mumbled and both made different excuses (so at least one of them wasn't accurate?) why my fish wasn't ordered by them. I politely asked for haddock to be re-ordered and said I would wait and was heading to stand again at the back of the shop. Then a young slim manageress steps forward from the back and asks the two newbies what is happening. The newbies both make different & incorrect statements of events and the manageress totally misunderstanding the situation. In defence of her errant co-workers she now thinks I'm trying to get served early. She then talks down to me in a condescending way. Acusing me of queue jumping and asking me in an exaggerated school teacher voice, in front of all the staff and lots of customers, "Have YOU, EVER, BEEN in here before?" Which was very embarrassing and concending. (Only twice a week for the past 3 yrs). The very pleasant woman serving on the next till recognises me and asks me to move over and she says she will serve me, saying "Sorry about the mistake, I saw you order as you came in earlier," she is always very nice. The two new people are still lying and making excuses to the manageress why I'm asking for haddock and there isn't any, both of them are saying different stories and neither is telling the truth. Now they are saying that I didn't even order haddock and didn't stand in the queue. A person in the queue steps forward and tells them all that he saw me in the queue several people before him, and the very pleasant woman behind the counter is also saying she saw me order the haddock, supporting what I have already said. The manageress has lost control of the situation, especially the two newbies. All this time, people are being served on the other counter and this situation has taken around 3 times longer than it usually takes. Then another customer says, that he saw me in the queue several people before him, as he collects his order and leaves the shop. The slim young manageress says something quite rude to me, and I end up leaving without any food for myself. What a mess, started as a lil storm in a tea cup, and turned into something very unpleasant . . Created by the lies of the newbies and a complete over reaction of the condescending manageress. Why not just say, "We didn't order your haddock, apologies, it will be 3 minutes". Telling lies, upon lies, just digging their hole deeper! And the manageress didn't show any managerial ability and scolded the wrong person. She didn't have a clue! 'If' the manageress understood the situation correctly, she wouldn't have made such a fuss, and there was no need for her to be rude. This inexperienced manageress needs to be very careful of those two new employees, little lies can create big problems. Hi Mike, the email address you supplied isn't working. Happy to contact you, but I don't know how.

Convenient location on the main road, close to both the bus and underground stations. The staff are professional and friendly, creating a pleasant shopping environment.

Gilligan's on St Johns Square right in the centre of Blackpool. Good choice of home made food from an extensive menu.

Food over cooked service very poor and slow we were there for 11/2 hours all we had was a meal walked out fed up with waiting to order a desert so they lost out on £48

We asked for our fish to be well cooked as if it’s not we have found the batter near the fish to be uncooked, once again the batter was uncooked ( soggy) The chips were lukewarm not a great experience
