The best restaurants serving British food in England

Wow this place as gone so far down hill :(. We went for mother's day lunch and the food was terrible and the service awful. The roast dinners were poor quality, everything is simply reheated. The waitress commented on how much we'd eaten! We had money off for hairs in dessert. There are so many good places to eat in the Vale that we certainly don't need to eat here again. What a disappointment, the place is now a dump.

With main meals for £6.49 this is an attractive eaterie option. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. Doing everything they could for us, including keeping us abreast of how long we were likely to wait. Nicely laid out in spacious and relaxed fashion the restaurant is a pleasure to be in. The food portions were pretty generous too (especially considering the price). Thanks everyone.

I have read and heard mixed things about this place so thought I’d try it for myself. It’s been nearly 8 years since I visited this place but WOW what a difference. Newly refurbished in 2024 new management and if I’m honest new pub. Gone are the sleazy look’s dodgy deals and scary atmosphere. I’ve now been in several times since Christmas 2024 and always a warm welcome from the staff. Maria & Kirsty the new management have turned this place around 100% it’s now a well run safe place to go. No food but they don’t mind you having your own with one of their drinks of course. It feels like a traditional family pub should be. I was in last week and met Maria for the first time what a sweet landlady she is no nonsense take her as you find. She was working with her father-in-law and he made us so welcome a great asset to this place nice to see a family working together. I have seen the place very quiet and very busy the staff are always polite yet firm with impatient customers. Lots of students and of course locals a real mix of Exeter people. Great to see they have free pool on a Wednesday , a student discount every day and karaoke on Sunday. one night I heard the Landlady sing she was brilliant. I love watching how much the staff interact with each other and customers it’s nice to see customers shout the staff by name when they start and end a shift. All I can say is keep it up I’ll be back more often from now on. Thank you James

If you enjoy soggy batter, cold chips and overpriced food then this is the place for you!! It is clear that Fish Face are reducing their carbon footprint by not heating their food, thank you for supporting climate change for future generations. The battered sausage appears to have been cooked some weeks ago and resembles a camels mummified phallus. There are two seats for all customers to share, fantastic if you enjoy getting comfortable with total strangers and the 45 minute wait for food will ensure you are well acquainted when you leave.

Espectacular espectáculo, pero la comida que se ofrecía era poco imaginativa, los alrededores eran como una cafetería barata con precios exorbitantes.

Terrible customer service, being extremely rude to my friend for no reason. Avoid this place at all times as you will get a disappointing experience.

Traté de almorzar aquí con un amigo. Me dijeron a la 1: 30 pm que la cocina estaba cerrada a órdenes por el momento debido a la alta demanda (era el día de la media maratón de Royal Parks) pero que volvería a abrir a las 2 pm. Cuando regresé en ese momento, el gerente fue increíblemente grosero y me dijo que aún no estaban aceptando órdenes. Entiendo que estaban ocupados, pero yo estaba muy descontento con la actitud. Me hicieron sentir que no era razonable pedir pedir comida. En un pub. A la hora del almuerzo. El resto del personal estaba bien, pero la gerente realmente estaba decepcionando con sus habilidades de servicio al cliente

Alojarnos en el hotel, que está bastante alejado del centro de Oxford, y después de un largo viaje para que todos lleguen aquí y una preparación intensa para mañana, no teníamos ganas de volver a tomar un taxi para ir al centro de la ciudad. Las críticas en Tripadvisor no fueron geniales, seamos honestos, pero pensamos que lo probaríamos. Muy gratamente sorprendido La comida era buena y se entregó con bastante rapidez (al contrario de las críticas anteriores). Disfruté mi comida. No es el mejor que he comido, pero bien preparado y presentado, y muy sabroso.

I waited for 15-20 mins for inedible thick bread. I just ordered toast because it takes them ages to bring any food out. And they did it again even with toast. How? Plus Id need a horse mouth to even bite that bread they served me. I left it. Didn’t even get given jam or honey, just wrapped up butter. Been here a few times now and it’s never busy but always takes soooo long to get any food. I’ve had eggs Benedict before which were good enough I guess. I do think this cafe is overpriced though. A pot of tea & “toast” cost me just under £7. I ended up going to Tesco cafe were I got a full English breakfast for under £6 and in half the time. By the way, I told the waitress I’m leaving the toast because it’s rock solid and ridiculous. She said “oh sorry” but didn’t offer me a refund or to get me something else. So not great at resolving complaints there.

El desayuno estaba bien y cocinados a la orden. Había mucha variedad en cereales y frutas y zumos de frutas antes de la señora tomó el pedido completo para inglés

Food order was out fairly quickly, was hot and correct. Seating is okay, got some but wasn't a leak time. Toilets were clean, but needed the code to get into them.

We love staying at the Home2Suites in Forest Park. Our driver, Tonee, dropped us off and picked us up from an Italian restaurant at The Hill. She was so friendly! She engaged in conversation with us about the area. Tonee is a real asset to the Hilton properties.

I went in the pub on the 27th of April 25 myself and two friends with the intention of staying for the afternoon we bought around a drinks we went to sit down and we was told we could not sit in the pub as there was doing food the only place to sit was outside I have never been told this in my life I'm 72 years of age be drinking since I was 18 absolutely disgusting

I stumbled across Cosy on a random night out, and I received some great service from Gavin and Lemar for my whole stay and will be returning very soon! Great drinks on the day and even better vibes

Best in Norfolk if you ask me. Never go anywhere else for my king prawn curry, and the kids love the chips and curry sauce :))
