The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

We booked into the lodges next to the Gardeners Inn and decided to walk around for dinner & drinks. The venue is decorated for Halloween which I did enjoy and we had a lovely welcome from the waitress. A few item were sold out but the menu was plentiful and the food did not disappoint. I had the sizzling hunters chicken and my partner had Korean Chicken. Portion size was fantastic the side salad & slaw was fresh, definitely the best hunters chicken I’ve had. Banoffee Pie & cream for dessert again it was better than any other I’ve tried. Lovely atmosphere, service time felt right for the number of tables eating and the price was reasonable. Would recommend 100%

Went there last night for a meal. We had Brie for starters. Wife had chicken for main and I had mackerel. Outstanding. Also tried the cwtch on the Harbwr cocktail. Mmmmmm

What an amazing tardis of a place which draws you in with its thatched roof and promise of Wight shaped scones. It has extensive seating both inside and outside with an adjacent council car park. Bit pricey to park there ☹️. Visited three times:lunch, afternoon visit and early evening meal. There is a small bar inside and this room is the lively one in terms of engaging in conversation with one of the owners or other guests. The menu is varied and everything is freshly cooked. The scones are light and fluffy!! It is very easy to eat a lot here 😀 Very easy to reach by bus and a wee walk from the station We thoroughly enjoyed visiting.

4 people for lunch today. Husband is gluten intolerant - server asked if intolerant or caeliac (knew what doing) so was reassured. Excellent food. We had the halloumi and beef burgers. Delicious salads, great burger. Excellent tea & coffee. Great service. Would highly recommend.

Can you believe I was a little boy when I came here as a treat,over 60 years ago,as a born sandgrounder I come here to give me happy memories,the food is always perfect,and very good value,cheaper than many takeaways near by,the staff are also very friendly and good at there jobs ,keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍

Nice choice of options on the menu, really traditional pub food but on the specials were some slightly different options. Excellent service

Excellent food ,well worth a visit .lunchtime prawn sandwich was delicious ,came with chips and coleslaw ,very filling and definitely worth the money .evening food also lovely ,good size portions .Good selection ,salmon was beautifully cooked.

Still a lovely place and a great menu to choose from steaks fish and home made pies and soups. Well worth a visit very neat and tidy with a good selection of beers and wines. Excellent food and well prepared.

We had a voucher from Travelzoo and so on Thursday we girded our loins and took the risk. the staff were very sensible and seated everyone as far apart as possible and kept their contact to a minimum. The food was great and very well displayed. The haddock smokie with egg was delicious. My steak was cooked to perfection. The Harrogate sticky toffee pudding was sweet but not sickly A very enjoyable evening. Let's hope the virus doesn't spoil this resurant.

Visited today for lunch. Beautiful welcome and atmosphere. We had an issue with a family member being unwell. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Bagged one meal up for us, and asked if I wanted my meal keeping warm. When I was ready to eat it, they had prepared me a whole new meal. Such lovely, empathetic staff. It's actually made very emotional as to how understanding the staff were. The food was epic. Out of this world. We will definitely be visiting again. Never, ever have I had such good service from such lovely people. You made its a very special visit, given the personal circumstances. Thank you. X

Nice experience all round Great friendly staff

We were having a few days away and decided to come to this pub primarily because it is dog friendly. We were warmly greeted and offered a table. We were served at our table which was nice more a restaurant feel. We choose the fish and chips and can honestly say it was delicious, the nicest fish I have ever had! All freshly cooked and reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and the service was great. Big thank you to you all.

Stopped here from motorway as it’s so close. Marvellous find ! Sunday roast beef lunch was delicious, served piping hot, obviously all home made. The staff were great especially the man who welcomed us even though we’d not booked. Cold beer, cosy surroundings, good food and at £15 an absolute bargain for a tasty roast. Plenty of parking. We’ll definitely be back.

Just had to wait 40 minutes for breakfast and missed our train. I was told that the delay was because they were very busy, which clearly wasn’t true as the place wasn’t full. Our order had obviously got forgotten even though they were overstaffed. I counted 4 people serving about 15 customers. The staff were happily talking about their holidays and dating, and taking cigarette breaks, rather than checking the orders had been processed. The chef even came out for a coffee break and gossip - while we had been waiting 30 mins. In fairness they did apologise profusely and took some items off the bill. The breakfast was ok when it came but certainly not worth the wait.

Scallops, Stake and Cheese board. Very nice and very filling. Bonus for us zero alcohol drinkers, Guinness Zero. Great night, Great food with Great friends.
