The best restaurants serving British food in England

Superb ice cream destination just off the seafront, opposite the pier. Also top quality coffee (decaf is outstanding). The staff are fabulous fun.

Emma provided a FABULOUS spread for 120 people following a funeral at Stoke Gabriel church. Everyone was catered for and the food was exceptional, most notably the crab cakes, samosas and scones, with jam and cream of course. Aunt and uncle have lived in the village for more than 50 years and have dined at Emma’s many times, always speaking MOST highly of the restaurant, food and Emma herself. Thank you!

We booked for 4 nights bed and breakfast and had the Churchill Suite. On arrival we were shown our room and told we had a fan! The suite is large but partially underground which we knew about before we booked so we’re not put off by it and adequate lighting in the room made up for the lack of natural light. There are two built in wardrobes a large bed and lovely bathroom. The soft furnishings are all beautiful. The “little touches of indulgences’ were disappointing they consisted of ghastly biscoff biscuits you usually get at cafes with a cup of coffee not the homemade shortbread we were expecting. Complimentary bottles of water and toiletries mainly in large dispensers on the wall. There are no nice touches in the room just furniture. If you sit on the sofa with a drink one person has to put their cup on the floor, as there is not side table. The room was clean apart from cobwebs hanging from wall lights and a horrid mark on the wall in the bathroom by the toilet……. On our third day we arrived back to the hotel around 5pm only to find our room had not been serviced! My partner went to reception to let them know and they told him we must have left the do not disturb notice out! Which we did not……. Anyway they rallied round and gave us a full set of clean towels and clean mugs etc. which was good of them but left us asking is this really a four star hotel? The breakfast is wonderful the tables laid out very nicely everything cooked is to order and served at your table. We had a dinner one night in the restaurant and it was a true delight the food and wine all good and the service was great apart from one young girl took our bread basket and bread plates away whilst we were still enjoying it……. We never made a fuss at the time.. We put it down to nerves……… On our last day we went down to breakfast having not been able to get to sleep because of stomping in the function room above. There seemed to be a large business group arrived the day before. They were all in the breakfast room which was full and we ordered our cooked breakfast my partner had his usual full English and I asked for scrambled egg mushroom and Rosti It arrived all of it over cooked and no rosti. I said to the waitress not to worry but she said no I will go and get it. It arrived 10 minutes later….. by then we had finished what we could eat from the burnt breakfast and left. Very disappointed again. We used the bar area every evening and ordered bar snacks and drinks the first night we were there was great but the other nights we had to go and search for someone each time we wanted a drink or something. We felt a little bewildered by it all as the reviews and the website seemed to give a much different picture in our heads than what we experienced. We always choose four and five star hotels when we go away but to us this one felt below par. I think in the future we will not choose a hotel that is used as a function space as any individuality seemed to be missing. It’s a shame that we unfortunately experienced several mishaps during what could have been a memorable experience.

After a recommendation we hired the Brewery Tea Rooms for a reception after my sister’s funeral. We cannot fault the kindness, attention to detail and the service we received from the ladies at the Tea Room on what was inevitably a difficult day. All the food was very freshly made and tea and coffee in plentiful supply. The Brewery Tea Rooms met our needs perfectly and we can highly recommend a visit. Thank you so much ladies for all your efforts on our behalf.

Visiting Halstead as a stopover before a family wedding in the local area, we arrived at lunchtime looking for somewhere to eat. A local suggested The Little Book Cafe. We both selected a breakfast as we were very hungry caterpillars or should that be Bookworms? We were not disappointed. A really genuine welcome, friendly service, excellent quality hot food and drinks. We could not have done better. Tucked away just off the main street in Halstead, opposite the Baptist Church, we would recommend this for a visit.

Visited Muino with my son yesterday. It’s got a great atmosphere and situated in the very convivial surrounds of Clifton village. Service was good and a number of the dishes were excellent - in particular the belly pork tapas style. Our only reason for 4/5 stars rather than 5 is that the large shell on garlic prawns hadn’t had the intestinal sac removed. This isn’t uncommon but I think should be done if a restaurant wants to get 5* for food quality. I did pass this feedback to the people serving

My favourite spot! Always try to call in when passing! Staff super friendly and coffee is wonderful. Don't forget to check out the brownie! DELISH

This is my favourite place I’ve visited on this mini holiday. Beautiful, calming ambience, interesting, kind staff, the most excellent sweet and savoury gluten free scones I’ve had, and I thoroughly enjoyed my delicate green tea. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

An amazing find! Beautiful setting in the garden with the sea in the distance. The homemade scones were delicious. Highly recommend visiting this hidden gem!

good choice and fine cuisine - wont say too much as I dont want others to block my future reservations - enough said though !

Small and cosy tea room where we enjoyed the most beautiful family afternoon tea. Just a lovely way to end our weeks stay in North Yorkshire. The bread for the sandwiches was so soft, tea was served with free top ups and scones freshly made from the oven and warm to eat. Cakes were beautiful too and there was more than enough for all 6 of us to enjoy. Ages ranged from 10-44yrs and enjoyed by all. If you like a bit of nostalgia and like afternoon tea, this is the place to go. We would highly recommend The Middleton Tea Rooms.

Lenta y seguramente abriéndose camino a través del menú este año. Con toda honestidad, nunca, nunca hemos tenido una comida decepcionante en este encantador café / restaurante. Se lo recomendé a tanta gente, y a todos les ha encantado.

Jaw dropping food, wonderful service! We will be back. Lovely chilled environment. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. The goujons were stunning.😍

A little hidden treasure! Everything was just perfect. Super hosting, delicious food and great service. We were extremely lucky to get a cancellation and can’t wait to visit again.

Located In the centre of the Plymouth market. Good little store. Staff really friendly and welcoming, this is a desert stall. Took my siblings here on a day out for a quick pick me up sweet treat, very welcoming. Not only sellls deserts but also international cereals which I think is a nice touch. They have a loyalty card, gaining a stamp with each purchase. Good reward system to keep returning customers.
