The best restaurants serving British food in England

Just absolutely perfect!! From the lovely welcome, the friendly service, brilliant atmosphere, all homemade cakes which is very rare these days, great tea, and the loveliest Christmas cake served with cheese if you wanted it (yes I did) which I tucked into while reading my slimming magazine!! You have something very special ladies. Also while your visiting the cafe you should tie in an Indian Head Massage with Zoe above The Posting Pot at Enliven Therapies.

Delicious food, best in Bolton 5*

There are insufficient superlatives to describe the quality of food, service, and the overall atmosphere at this remarkable restaurant. Thanks to Evi, who runs the front of house, and Nathan, the world class chef for an excellent dining experience.

Wish i could leave 50 stars! Beautiful quiet and peaceful campsite with beautiful views of the countryside and surrounded by cows and sheep. Tanya is lovely to deal with and Mark who manages the site is an absolute legend. He's friendly, knows loads about the area and goes out of his way to make sure everyone has a great time There are only 2 loos and showers on site (both unisex) but with such a small site we didn't have to wait at any time. The showers are great, no button to keep pressing and adjustable temperature. There's a baby change unit, hairdryer and straighteners. Fridge outside with an honesty box for local produce, and a wonderful cookery equipment shop which also sells amazing cakes Bus stop not too far away and absolutely loads to see and do in the area 100% going to be returning

Had a full English breakfast here very nice will come again. Excellent service

The food is lovely. Anne is so friendly. Would definitely recommend and go back when in the area.

Had my dinner here today and thought I should probably write a google review at some point given how often I've visited over the years. The pressed lamb burger with sweet potato and red cabbage salad was just what I needed. This place is a hidden gem and more people in Sunderland and beyond should know about it. On a high street full of fast food and junk food outlets it stands alone as a fresh, healthy and good quality choice. Zoe is a friendly face and takes the time to get to know her regulars which I think is an added touch. Ask for an 'Anything Sandwich'...

For a small restaurant out in the suburbs, there’s ambitious cooking going on here. Food is by way of a shortish tasting menu and, at its centre, is the aptly named “Core Menu”. That runs to six courses (they count bread as one of them) plus a couple of snacks to start and sweets with your coffee, priced keenly at £55. There’s a shorter, cheaper version and, also , a longer more expensive one. And they can also tweakr them into a gluten free version, shellfish free version and a vegetarian (but not vegan) version. We had the core version last time and that’s what we ordered again – of course,, the dishes have been seasonally adjusted since we were here in the spring and were all completely different. Those snacks are a cracking way to start. A single bite version of “Nan’s cheese & onion pie” and a deep fried “doughnut” of soft pulled belly pork. I’d have happily eaten a bucket load of the latter. And then on to the bread course. There’s a mini truffle flavoured loaf for each of us, with butter and chicken liver parfait for slathering over. And a little bowl of chicken soup for sipping or dipping (both work). Cubes of roasted (?) smoked celeriac sat in a puddle of a tasty sauce, along with cubes and thin strips of pear and a dab of what I think was a tarragon puree. I thought it a tad too sweet but nice enough. Coley is a very sustainable fish and is an easy choice to replace cod. Here a small fillet is roasted and served along with a parsnip puree, cubes of bacon, and the almost celery like flavour of lovage. The final savoury course features chicken breast cooked with Brightside Brewery’s Mancunian IPA beer from 12 miles away in Radcliffe. Long cooked leg meat goes into a mini pie (yes, that’s two pies on the menu – this is Greater Manchester, after all). And very seasonal Jerusalem artichoke makes an appearance as crisps and puree. The first dessert, described as a palate cleanser, is a mix of plum sorbet, tangy yoghurt and mint caramel. It’s delicious – fetch me another bucket. But it’s not as delish as the second dessert – milk chocolate ganache, pistachio mousse, an orange cream and an orange flavoured cracker. We finished with good espresso . It came with a couple of sweet nibbles – a sharp raspberry jelly (too sharp to work well with coffee) and a coconut, chocolate fudge – think the flavours of Bounty. Service is smiley and very on the ball.

What a lovely little cafe. The best bacon sandwich I've had. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Great service, delicious food and an intimate dining experience. This is what eating out should be. Well worth a visit. Excellent customer focus and a lovely atmosphere. We have made this our yearly Christmas meal venue and it never disappoints. I cannot wait for our Christmas visit this year!!!

Went for sunday lunch and pudding, absolutely lovely meal and staff was very friendly, will be going back

Just an outstanding place to stay! The owners think of everything and nothing is too much trouble. Luxurious yet affordable...

Fabuloso menú degustación de 10 platos para el almuerzo con amigos. Excelente cóctel para empezar. Ambiente muy relajado y atención al detalle. Personal amable, bien informado y eficiente. 3 horas de disfrutar de una comida excelente, sabrosa e interesante. Recomendado.

Fabulous food and atmosphere. Really accommodating for a group of 9.

Attended this fine establishment for a meal out with my beautiful girlfriend. Celebrating 5 years of our relationship and 5 years of Hern. The food was delicious as always. The Beurre Blanc was notably exquisite.
