The best restaurants serving British food in England

Pastries we bought not to our taste: oversweet, bicarbonate flavour, soft (limp) not crisp…

Amazing sandwiches, cakes and afternoon tea boxes! Highly recommended!

great sausage rolls and chesse straws

We just had the set meal for 2 with chicken tandoori, chicken masala, mushroom bhaji and lots more including wonderful complimentary dishes which was absolutely amazing. Thank you very much it was superb. Ps it might sound as if I own the restaurant, I don't but fully recommend you trying it out.

This pub is a gem and worth venturing out to. The hospitality was warm, genuine and friendly. Thankyou for this, it makes a big difference and is very much noticed. The food was sooo delicious - so fresh and beautifully cooked. Highly recommend the fish pie - it is way above what you might expect. This is a pub with excellent chefs.

From start to finish I could not fault it, the hospitality was amazing and felt so welcome, asked if we had any dietary requests, also is any were vegan or Vegetarian. We started with a few starters from the Wanstead fish market and grocers. Heritage tomato, mozzarella and Avocado. The seasoning was sensational, mint, basil olive oil and salt!! Sustainable fresh market prawns, fennel and onion cooked in pomadoro sauce presented on local sour dough finished with grated Parmesan. Roasted aubergine, paprika, avocado and fresh chills. I would recommend and can’t wait to go back. Well done guys very impressed

The food was great the hospitality was amazing. As a local I'm happy to come back here every single day.

Gran restaurante! Quedamos muy contentos con lo conocedor y amable que era nuestro camarero. Nos dio excelentes recomendaciones sobre queso y carnes, luego tuvo un amplio conocimiento del vino. Bien valorado y un ambiente encantador. Sin duda volveremos.

As the many good reviews testify this restaurant provides well-cooked food and attentive service. However, when my wife and I visited on a cold November evening we found the heating to be so inadequate that we did not enjoy our visit at all. At first, I thought I was feeling the cold because of my old age, but then I heard much younger customers at a nearby table complaining about the temperature. One of them even had to stand up and stomp his feet to restore circulation. The waitress told us that all the heating was turned on, but I could only see two radiators in quite a large area, and they seemed quite ineffective. The manager then told us that the restaurant was cold because it was in an old building. This was hardly a convincing explanation as we had been in an 18th century pub less than an hour earlier and been quite comfortable. Before we had finished our main courses we decided that shivering under four layers of clothing was hardly the best way to spend a birthday celebration dinner, so we left and had our dessert elsewhere.

Didn’t stay but ate for my birthday lunch. Made to feel very welcome and loved every minute. Great service from Otto. Thanks so much to the team for making me feel special! The food was sublime and the star of the show was the cod main course with saffron sauce. Otto added he brought the saffron from Morocco himself which was a lovely touch. Will be back and will recommend. Francesca x

Nice garden. Come on Friday afternoon

I ordered online and while the delivery took a while, it was so worth the rate. Had the mini dipper and it’s was absolutely beautiful. I’ve had my fair share of takeaways and will now be coming back to here a lot. Food was amazing and have a really good variety comparing to other places. Was filling asf too. Amazing!!!

Thank you so much for helping us organise a surprise last night for birthday party celebrations - we had a great time plotting with you all at the Plough, what a great venue, lovely venue and private dining room with delicious food. Hope we can come back soon. Paula and the Singing Waiters in the UK Team

After spending an unexpected day in Berwick upon Tweed, we found this little gem for dinner. It's a cosy restaurant, with a great menu, and friendly staff. We had the steak pie, burgers and curry, all of which were very tasty. We enjoyed it so much, we pushed the boat out and had some desert too. Can't wait for out next visit again soon!

Hosts with the most. I requested a few changes to my choice due to my diet, and nothing was too much trouble. And OHHHHHHH, the rainbow cake was soooo soft.
