The best restaurants serving British food in England

Can I just give a massive shout out and thanks to Wilfreds - my famly and I went to Wilfreds Canteen last night to celebrate my birthday - not only is the venue fabulous and beautiful - the staff were just brilliant and the food - my goodness every morsel was the best food we have ever tasted! Right from a starter of bacon and cheese in filo pastry to a main of chicken and ham pie with the best potato dauphinoise and then a peach crumble and a sherry trifle just for my Dad - it was truly incredible with very generous portions - just brilliant and very special ! So if you are looking for a fab venue for a special occasion with your family and friends - it really has to be there ! Congratualtions Chris and all you team xx

Found this little gem having just arrived from Prague. Best coffee and lemon drizzle cake, with great atmosphere and staff.

Fabulous breakfast on a Sunday morning, great quality ingredients, friendly service, great value and can not recommend highly enough. Also look to have fabulous cakes - a must visit next time we are back in Hucknall

Came with a friend for Valentine's Day lunch. Had seen them on social media and thought we'd try it out. We shared the meatball sub which was amazing. So tasty. Also had a white chocolate and raspberry brownie which was really good. I'd admit I'm fussy about coffee but their latte was perfect. Staff were lovely. Really helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Stopped off in this small (artisan) bakery to grab a quick coffee while waiting for the rain to pass and decided to try some of the baked goods too: just the right amount of crispy pastry and really tasty filling. I decided to take a loaf of their sourdough home. It was delicious. I will definitely be back.

The Royal Standard is Back .Looks amazing.The royal Standard opened in March 23 .Great Food .Fantastic selection of Beers .Could Become a regular.

The service at this event was par excellence. The room was spacious and yet the people did not feel isolated. The colour scheme of the furnishings was conducive to a relaxed atmosphere and the room was light, airy and fresh. There was a wide variety of hot and cold food, professionally presented and enjoyed enormously by all the guests, so much so that at the end of the afternoon no food remained!!! All the staff on duty were most helpful, approachable and accommodating, and many thanks to John for displaying the banner of photographs in a prime position, out of harm's way!!! I was very happy with the overall cost of the event, which was most reasonable. In conclusion, this was a very enjoyable occasion and I would not hesitate to recommend the RAFA Club in Kirkby most highly.

Acorn Bank is a splendid place to visit and made even more so by a visit to the pop-up cafe situated in the court yard. Run by a mother and daughter team, the homemade cakes using produce from Acorn Bank's garden, a wonderful cup of locally sourced coffee and an extremely warm and friendly welcome made a lovely day out even more special. Highly recommended.

Wow!! What a find. Conceptually brilliant cheese and wine, whilst looking out the window to see a 1000 years of history! Cheese and wine exceptional. Great customer service! We arrived at 7pm on valentine’s night walked up the stairs to a wonderful view of windsor. Sat at our table by the window had a wonderful bottle of Rua. Then choose the meat and cheese Platter letting the restaurant choose the cheese. Each cheese had flavour with the scotch egg, pork pie and parma ham making it very special. Married 28 years and my wife said it was one of the most memorable valentines meal ever. Hugely recommended this if you love your wine and cheese!!

The Farmhouse Kitchen is not the sort of place that will attract much casual passing trade; it is beautifully situated in a remote spot, a few miles west of Middleton in Teesdale, on a dead end road so, other than a few walkers looking for refreshments, the only clientele will be people who know it is there, and who are prepared to travel to it. Don’t let any of this put you off though, the meals are excellent and the portions generous. Sunday Lunch is strictly pre booking only, and choice limited to roast of the day, plus a vegetarian option. All food is home cooked, freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Our roast beef came with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, carrots, cabbage and swede, followed by home made apple crumble and filter coffee or tea. For those who have not booked, or who do not want a traditional roast dinner, there is the choice of All Day Breakfast, or various options of pies, chips, gammon, sausages, chips and sandwiches, cakes etc. The service is friendly and efficient, and the location, in a converted farm building, is very comfortable and welcoming, situated in a very pretty valley with open views of fields and hills all around. We will be back soon! 2 things to bear in mind though: the opening times are limited to Saturday and Sunday only, Easter to October, and they do not accept card payment, which could be a problem when the nearest cash machine is 1/2 an hours drive away!

Not long moved to the area, fancied a nice, warm bacon and sausage sandwich. Service was quick and friendly, nice thick crusty bread. Hash browns were lovely too

Brilliant cafe. Amazing good. Friendly service. Well worth a visit. Had the full English breakfast which was really good. Good quality ingredients and really reasonable. Great selection of cakes too.

Such a wonderful shop that takes you back to your childhood with old fashioned sweets plus all your classic modern day sweets……there must be over 500 different sweet lines! It’s certainly not an easy choice to decide what you’re having! They also do absolutely fantastic ice cream milkshakes…..they are a must try! My daughter loves the smoothies. American sodas & drinks available. Fresh local fudge. Locally supplied ice creams. Friendly smiling staff a truly wonderful experience

Brilliant service, great selection of flavours. Very generous scoop sizes. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting

Tonight we were served by Paige, Charlotte and Rachel. All extremely friendly and helpful. Have been a few times now and always excellent customer service and tasty food. Thank you
