The best restaurants serving British food in England

Absolutely fantastic. Great food, great atmosphere. Probably the best fine dining restaurant near Exeter. You really have to try it.

Went for a breakfast Friday morning, foods good , coffee good , service good Cheers guys

I visited for the first time last night to try the November menu with my family. The staff were all super friendly, highly professional and very attentive. The food was absolutely incredible, such delicious dishes with an expertly selected wine pairing, which I would highly recommend. The only improvement I would suggest, is perhaps printing out a copy of the wines used in the pairings. I often found it difficult to hear all the information provided by the staff when the wine was delivered, due to noise from other tables. So having a copy of the names and flavours would be super helpful. Overall I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend Eileen’s. I will definitely be visiting again and am excited to try a different selection of dishes and wines. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Poppy Rose tea room is just fabulous. Gorgeous setting serving lovely sandwiches, toasties, cakes and full afternoon tea. The food is delicious and the staff are lovely. A real gem of a place in Northwich.

We have been here many times and spent hundreds of pounds over the years but we won't be going again. We were celebrating our anniversary and booked in advance making it clear that one of the party is GF due to a severe allergy. We arrived to find one male server who clearly was unable to cope as he was doing the bar as well as serving on the tables. We had to sit in the bar to start without being offered a drink then were taken to our table but despite reiterating my allergy I was served gluten containing bread which I had to point out. It was taken away and replaced by molten GF bread followed swiftly by a sirloin steak in what purported to be a peppercorn sauce which, although tasty, contained lots of unexpected herbs and was extremely watery. We were asked if we wanted a side and were sold a cauliflower cheese which chef bought to our table pointing out that it contained GLUTEN!!! At no stage did anyone apologise for selling us a side that was totally inappropriate. Nor did they enquire if everything was satisfactory. When we came to leave a miserly 10% was knocked off the bill which included the gluten containing cauliflower cheese! You'd have thought the least they could do was subtract it from the bill but no they charged me for it! So in reality the 10% after subtracting the cost of the cauliflower cheese came to an allowance of less than 2 pounds! Needless to say I was not impressed and felt the servers paltry allowance for what he called the gluten fiasco was wholly inadequate and really added insult to injury.

Best restaurant in the Cotswold. Most innovative menu choices, food bursting with flavor. The chef's heart is in every bite. Had oyster mushroom brunch and sausage vegetable stew. Both tremendous.

Excellent establishment. Great friendly services

A truly special dining experience. We were so lucky to be seated at the pass and had a wonderful evening watching Alex and the team prepare the delicious tasting menu. Each dish was incredible - we particularly loved the strawberry bao, and the soft drinks flight was equally as thought through as the food. Highly recommend, we can't wait to be back.

Always a warm welcome from Liz front of house with Patsy cooking delicious food, they are renowned for hot food on hot plates, with customers coming from far and wide to enjoy their hospitality, I can not recommend this superb Cafe highly enough, pay them a visit you will not be disappointed.

Without a doubt the best ice cream in Harrogate! We regularly visit Vanilli’s for a treat after visiting Valley Gardens. The owner is so friendly and there is always a new flavour to try. The pumpkin spice a current favourite. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Delicious food and attentive staff

A must visit restaurant whether you live in Brighton or come visiting. A real hidden gem where you a guaranteed a night to remember. As always, thank you Jane and your wonderful team. I've been going for years and ever visit has been amazing.

Went here on Saturday evening. Nice place, good atmosphere and helpful staff. The meals were good, but the main course was a little cold. Apart from that, all was well and we enjoyed it.

Scott’s Bistro is a great addition to our little town. The food is fabulous along with the service. The menu is fabulous with a good selection of wines, spirits and beers. It’s a lovely place with great food too.

Did I miss something? Is this place supposed to be so basic? It was featured at LCW so I figured they would have some sort of signatures. I see them on other people's reviews but nothing like that was available on my visit. There was no signatures menu, nothing creative at all. Just classics with very expensive spirits. The entire feature menu consisted of 5 insanely priced cocktails with vintage bottles. Like, if you want to pay £450 for a Manhattan, they've got you covered. Using exorbitantly priced vintage spirits doesn't mean the cocktail is even done well. Who wants to risk that? I am convinced that menu exists solely to show off the age of some of their bottles, and to gouge those 20 or so silly new money millionaires that wander in here a year. Let's be honest, this is the Biltmore. Not the Langham, or even the Peninsula. And considering there were only us there, it's not exactly a popular place. The other option is a meagre 6 classics. Which, okay, to be a cocktail bar does not require you to ever have signatures. You can specialize in classics done to perfection (as I have had at The Connaught, but they had their own creations too.) I'm just not convinced a bar of this supposed class should serve gimlets with lime cordial. Sure, that may be the original recipe but surely we have evolved beyond sickly cordials? They don't even specify any sort of housemade cordial. I can only assume it is store-bought. I decided to chance their De la Lousiane. Definitely not worth £22. It was mid. Plus, the atmosphere just wasn't there. The place was dead and the staff were often nowhere to be found. My friends just ordered wine. Nothing seemed special to them either. The main problem is that there's just nothing memorable about it at all. It looks like every other moderately upscale hotel bar. The staff were perfunctory but mainly absent and forgettable. The drinks were fine (not good), but again, instantly forgettable in their sheer blandness. Absolutely nothing stood out, and for the price, it really, really should. I just have a hard time believing anybody actually thoroughly enjoys this place. It's a bit nothing-y. All they have is their vintage bottles... but so do many Mayfair hotel bars now, and more impressive ones with cocktails and spirits hitting the £1000s. I'll admit one of those cocktails tempted me, and with a little more disposable income, I would have maybe gone with the £140 1960s Negroni, lmao. But if I had that sort of cash to throw around, chances are I wouldn't be at this bar in the first place.
