The best restaurants serving British food in England

It always a pleasure to visit this very friendly tea room and enjoy some of the wonderful cakes, as well as the well cooked breakfasts and lunches that are on offer. Ben’s lemon drizzle and poppy seed cake that I enjoyed yesterday was food for the gods. I know of no other such business that when they make a hot chocolate that you get a cup of it, and alongside it a jug of the same; both for a very reasonable price. Brilliant customer service and I can’t wait to go back for another visit. The venue can also be hired for private functions and I often notice as I drive past in the evenings that such events are taking place. Dennis Usher

A menudo viajamos a Otley solo para visitar este pequeño y popular snack bar para desayunar. Es muy pintoresco, con vajilla y cubertería desiguales. Se siente como si estuvieras en la casa del propietario, que es como si estuvieras. El desayuno siempre viene caliente con la opción de tostadas o pan frito a un lado. El propietario también tiene un puesto al aire libre que vende libros, rompecabezas y otros accesorios: los ingresos se destinan a la ambulancia aérea de Yorkshire. Solo hay alrededor de 8 mesas, pero a menudo hemos llegado con el lugar lleno de locales. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar para un desayuno abundante antes de experimentar una visita a Otley.

This small out-of-the-way cafe is run by the 6th form students from Billing Brook School, Northampton. The menu offered is light meals, e.g. jacket potatoes, sandwiches, baguettes etc. with a good variety of fillings including vegetarian options. The coffee is delicious and the home-made cakes looked good, but I resisted. The atmosphere is inviting, with a lovely outdoor area, and the whole place is spotlessly clean, The staff and their tutors are really nice, and very attentive. Would definitely recommend if you are local or visiting Northampton and would like a quiet out of the town centre (Eastern District) bite to eat. I look forward to my next visit. Open Mon-Thurs 9.30-14.30.

Lovely little place, so friendly and reasonably priced. It’s not just a cafe but also a shop where you can get party supplies and order birthday cakes. Excellent breakfasts and afternoon tea (think you have to book afternoon tea) and the cakes are really good. My Friday morning choice for a bacon sandwich takeaway!! Last time I went in there I heard someone say they did cake decorating parties for children which sounded a great idea 👍🏻. Don’t let the lack of parking straight outside put you off, park on one of the nearby streets or down closer to Titanic mills and have a walk on the canal before or after!

What a wonderful idea to have afternoon tea delivered! I tried them out based on the recommendation of someone and wasn't disappointed. We went for the ploughman's platter with the add on dessert tray. There was so much choice in the platter - and so much food! So nice to be able to enjoy something like this during lockdown. Even once lockdown is over, the platter would be great to enjoy as a picnic with a bottle of wine. Have ordered the afternoon tea for mum. Lovely family run business. Will definitely use them again and highly recommend.

Sonia and the team are so welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Very tasty breakfasts, all cooked fresh, presented well, and great portions too.

Food was amazing, very reasonably priced! Staff were very friendly & made my hangover feel a lot better 😂 will now be regulars 😊

we have visited Coffee Maison Leicester now for the 3rd time and each time we visit our experience has always been excellent. Coffee Maison always make us feel very welcome. A small cosy place just perfect with great food from panini to pizza and absolutely love their pancakes. Keep up the great work and thank you for your great service !

Just a lovely little break mid shopping. One cappuccino, a caramel Frostino, a white chocolate and raspberry muffin and a salted caramel muffin! Perfect, not much I can add but we enjoyed it.

First visit as the place opened recently. Great decor and quality of the food was amazing. Professional staff with caring service. Do recommend to all my colleagues

We visit Belton every year, and last year, discovered this wonderful place! Tucked away in the hamlet of Welby - off the beaten track [use a Sat Nav!] is the fabulous Crown and Anchor. This is a proper country pub with the addition of it's own Smokehouse - and what and amazing addition! We visited twice this week, it was so good... The menu is extensive and varied, with a combination of tradition British pub food and their smokehouse specialities. All extremely well served, presented and tasty, not to mention the generous portions. You do not want to miss the rack of ribs [full or half - although the half is what most places call a full rack ] - be prepared to be full! And the amazing Smoking Board, consisting of Ribs, Pulled Pork and Korean Chicken - all from the smokehouse, accompanied by their hand cut chips - hot and crispy and soft inside, coleslaw, extra BBQ sauce and dressed salad. Finger bowls and extra napkins are provided and needed! Also available are a fabulous range of very different burgers - including the triple - beef, pork and chicken - oh my! Starters are available in abundance, as are desserts - but we have never had room for either - but they look fab Beers and wine selections are plentiful and varied as well as reasonably priced. Service was attentive and excellent - couldn't fault it. As I said - you do not want to miss this place - just north of Grantham. Enjoy!!

Mainly snacks, such as wraps and toasties. The food is prepared to order, with precision and great attention to detail. The restaurant is extremely clean, and the hygiene standard was extremely high, both in the seating area and behind the counter. Very friendly, polite staff. Oh that every snack bar was like this ! Seating is limited currently to five tables. Take-aways available.

Great food as always ! Prices are fantastic one of the cheapest arounds . Staff are super friendly . We go a least every couple of weeks

Great place for relaxing family meal, excellent menu choice and great service. The butchers block and steak burger were amazing. Will definitely visit again soon.
