The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Can’t complain about staff they were brilliant, but the food was not worth the money, we had Yorkshire rarebit £17.95 It tasted like the bread had just been flattened and pressed into a small flat bowl topped with loads of cheese and stuck under a grill which the bread felt very hard to cut and quite solid it was topped with 3 half cherry tomatoes and a salad leaf (one) Not impressed We had come for the experience decided not to have the cakes as didn’t want to spend anymore money It’s not hard to make cheese on toast should of been better

The Steamboat Inn is in a small hamlet however what a find. Place was spotless and all the staff were really friendly. Food was excellent the best fish and chips we have ever eaten compliments to the chef. We would also recommend the Lemon Posset. We had the dog and the Inn is very welcoming to dogs. Price is very reasonable in today's prices. We would thoroughly recommend the Steamboat Inn and hope to be back again!!

Just returned from evening meal with family (7 Oct). 2 of us chose pork platter (special menu) which I anticipated to be a generous offering of pork fillet, sausage roll and black pudding - priced at £22. How disappointing- 2 pieces of mouth size fillets, a third of a sausage roll and a thin splattering of black pudding in the potato Rosti. It tasted nice and was well presented but feel totally ripped off with the meagre offering, I did inform a young waitress of my disappointment and asked her to relay my message to the chef. No apology, no feedback, nothing. We have had numerous family meals over many years and this was clearly sub-standard. The 3 other diners enjoyed their meals to provide balance. Perhaps the management team can consider and respond accordingly?

My husband booked Afternoon Tea with family to celebrate my 60th birthday. Having been here for lunch about 7 years ago, I was very excited to return and celebrate in style. We arrived early and were greeted nicely and explained we were keen to have a walk around the garden and a drink whilst waiting for everyone else. When we sat down at our table on the terrace, (there were three of us at this point), I asked for a gin and tonic, as did my brother and then the waitress started to walk away. We then called her back and my husband asked if he could order a drink too! When two other family members arrived, we called the waitress over again and asked for a further drink, but once again, she started to walk away without waiting or asking if the 5th person wanted a drink! When the last two members of our party arrived, one ordered a bottle of beer and we had to ask three times with it eventually arriving an hour after initially being ordered. When the afternoon tea arrived, the description of everything on offer was very rushed and we were left trying to remember everything that was said. It would have been lovely to have been given a card for the table with some descriptions. At this point there seemed to be a complete lack of staff and when we needed more cutlery and plates, we had to raid other tables as there was no one around to help us. Only once did someone come and check on us and then seemed surprised we had needed more plates and cutlery. Having just eaten meat and piccalilli, many of us wanted fresh plates for the cakes. When the scones and cream arrived, although warm and delicious, the amount of cream offered, would definitely not have been enough for two scones each. Thankfully everyone was full by this point and we asked if we could have some bags to take the remainder home. Despite 7 people being in attendance, we were provided with two small brown bags! We then waited and waited to see if anyone was coming to check on us, but eventually my husband went to the Reception to pay the bill. Having been out for another afternoon tea two weeks earlier, I would have to say, that one far exceeded this experience and at almost half the cost. We were aware how much it was per person when it was booked, but at £50.00 per head we expected far better service and a greater experience than we received. Sadly, despite the beautiful surroundings we will not be returning.

Brilliant new bar manager. Really was a pleasure to meet him. Genuine nice bloke and good beer.

Holiday not the same without a Sunday Lunch at the Apple. Good wholesome food perfectly prepared. Had the Braised Featherblade beef. Absolutely melted in the mouth Exceptionally good service attentive but not pushy.

The Sunday Lunch was brilliant, one of the best I’ve had. Portions were big, service was really prompt. Hallie our waitress was excellent and very attentive. Would definitely recommend and go again

Very helpful staff and excellent food. Well worth a visit and excellent pricing as well which is a bonus. Would certainly go again !

Great relaxed cosy atmosphere and the food is excellent! Staff are lovely, friendly and accomodating. I would thoroughly recommend 👌

The food was lovely, staff were friendly and the entertainment was spot on. Will return again

Excellent food. Very gluten free aware. Great service. Had the duck followed by gf cheesecake. Fantastic meal and lovely environment. 3 courses. Lovely

Awesome. The atmosphere is great, the waiters are very kind and the food is so delicious. I reccomend to sit in front the window, it is very nice to watch all the people in the street while eating.

My husband and I visited from America and wanted some great English cooking. This place exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere, the food, and the people were absolutely amazing. It has been a few months since our stay and we STILL talk about how great this stop was.

We came here last night for a meal and was one of the best home cooked meals I ever had. The staff were so lovely and we even got to play some darts before our food came!

The pub was quiet quiet but the food was delicious and the service was great
