The best restaurants serving British food in England

Well, it was our final visit to the Lakeside Cabin last week. What a wonderful hidden gem this cafe is, and it is going to be very much missed by so many, now that it has closed its doors. The food exquisite, so tastefully presented, especially all those gorgeous cakes, mouth watering! The location and setting, along with the amazing family who ran it made it a very happy place to be. Thank you ‘A’ team, for making our trips an unforgettable and enjoyable experience. So sad that you have gone, but we wish you all the best in your new venture. We will DEFINITELY come and find you at Pydar Mews in Truro.

The most amazing breakfast ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great service and value for money Will definitely return 👍🏻

What a fabulous place! Out of all the steak outlets in York im so glad i chose this one to celebrate my Dads 90th birthday. Radek and his team are fantastic. They really ensured we had the best time. Food was excellent and decent value. What a super evening we both had. Cant recommend highly enough and will definitely be returning on our next visit.

We stumbled across the old bakery tearoom on a visit to the Cotswolds, well the food was amazing...so fresh & full of flavour and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning

we had amazing food served with friendly, professional service. Despite being fully booked the attention to detail was wonderful. Well done to Ceri and Matt for running Restaurant Four so well!

Mi esposa y yo pedimos un sándwich, huevo mayo y un atún mayo, patatas fritas, ensalada y ensalada de col a un lado. Ambos vinieron en pan espeso fresco, las limaduras eran abundantes y la ensalada de col era hermosa. Tal cambio para pagar por algo y conseguir cada centavo. Muy recomendable este lugar!

Had an enjoyable evening and some great dishes on the tasting menu. So what I write here may seem picky. But...we paid over £400 per head (including wine - and non-alcohol - drink pairings). I've been fortunate to eat in a number of Michelin starred places and this isn't at that level IMO. Restaurant is nicely located, very nicely presented and the staff were generally great. The sommelier seemed like they'd had a bad day and not especially inspiring. And I know I'm getting old when one stand-out thought was how many were wearing clothes that didn't fit! The food, which is what we came for, was a mixed bag. None of it was "bad", definitely need to underscore that. Clearly significant skill involved in all of it, which is one box ticked. Nothing worse than visiting a top end restaurant only to think you could prepare the food at home! And there were some stand out dishes. The mackerel/lime/sorrel was a flavour punch, and the sea bream/black radish/perilla was both full of flavour and delicate all at the same time. Definitely my favourite dish. I'd also note the Eastwood cheese/bakewell dish was nice too, but a £15 supplement was a bit cheeky in retrospect (we knew it was a supplement beforehand). Bread and chicken butter was nice (parfait technically well executed)... Others were OK - damning with faint praise at this level really. Earth was a mushroom dish that was nicely executed, Quail pt 2 nice enough and I liked the Final Sweets but reception was mixed around the table (eating all components together made the most of it IMO). A number of others were nice ideas, but missed the mark in key places. Cheese/caviar had nice flavour but the texture wasn't right. Too chewy - pitched a "doughnut", I'd take a doughnut back if it cost 50p from a supermarket and chewed as this did. The chicken sandwich was pretty bland flavour-wise and the texture was on the edge of OK. Flavour was also lacking in the beef/trout/leek dish and the rhubarb/custard (the main flavour of which was the orange cake - didn't mind that, but the menu advertised rhubarb and custard, which I love, and that was nowhere. And a couple technically missed the mark. Cod/fennel/green chili had a small piece of cod that was overcooked - marginally, but overcooked. And whilst the taste was lovely, it wasn't fennel/green chilli. And Quail pt1 was a couple of small pasta parcels, the pasta for which was too thick and the stuffing very solid. Being greedy it's not often the texture of a piece of food detracts from the flavour (if it's there) for me. But this did. Wine pairings were generally very good according to my dinner mates. I was driving so tried the non-alcohol pairings for the first time ever. I probably won't again. Some nice liquids that I wouldn't have thought to try, but some not that great (I should have asked for a list of what they were in advance...perhaps that should just have been offered ;)). There's a lot to like about this restaurant, but with its awards and price point it's operating at a serious level and missed the mark for me, so couldn't recommend it on the basis of this visit.

Prácticamente no hay nada que no te guste en The Wilderness. Gran vibra, impresionante frente de la casa, y una oferta de música que puede ayudar a sastre. La mayoría de los platos son de 5 estrellas. Pero no todos tienen una puntuación tan alta como los demás. Sin duda recomendaría el espectáculo, y vale la pena la ida y vuelta de 200 millas. Pero en mi opinión, la noche que fuimos, BBQ brassicas decepcionó el lado. Y el postre 2 necesitaba más pera. Lo siento. Lo intentaré de nuevo, la próxima vez que estemos en la ciudad, ya que el equipo, como digo, es totalmente de primera clase. Ve a verlo por ti mismo.

Wow - what a wonderful restaurant. First class service and outstanding food - what a truly amazing experience. A lovely atmosphere from the moment we stepped through the door.

We were visiting the area for the Easter weekend and based on previous reviews booked the White Horse for Sunday lunch...and we were so glad we did! Food, service and the ambiance of the pub were all excellent. The price was relatively expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Booked and paid a £30 deposit for lunch on Easter Sunday only to turn up to find the restaurant closed with a closed until further notice sign on the door. No message from them to inform us. DO Not Book with this restaurant wherever they are now.

Amazing food and value for money as always. Scott was a shining star for us on the evening. Enthusiasm, passion, Attention to detail and an infectious vibe. Thank you for a great evening!

Just had to write one final review of this excellent restaurant which is now sadly closed. We were lucky enough to have our second (and now, final) chance to try their tasting menu, and every dish was a delight. Looking forward to seeing whether there will be a new place with Michelin stars to try soon!

We really enjoyed the tapas menu. There were small and large plates, great for sharing and all absolutely delicious. I had the monk fish and lentil daal which was wonderful, really tasty and well presented. We were amazed at the quality of all the food, including vegetarian options. Wine choice also very good. We had a fantastic evening and highly recommended.

We arrived too late for dinner, but the lady who greeted us could not have been more apologetic. As we were only in the area for two nights and we were already having dinner somewhere else the following evening we decided just to pop in for a drink, it was so welcoming and the food looked good we will definitely eat there the next time we are over there
