The best restaurants serving British food in England

The place is quite beautiful: a very elegant and charming place. Service is quite good (well-manered albeit too slow) even on a very busy evening. Wine list is interesting and nice, with special offers on well chosen items (a very decent Bandol that evening), But, food… not quite what it should be. It is poor and not matching expectations. Too few ingredients. Frugal and stingy wishes in every ways. Flavours too vague. No shape, no sharpness. In other words: lots of room for improvement. Yet not an awful evening at all but not sure I’ll go there to eat again—having drinks is nice and good enough.

We shared a large breakfast and nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly staff. Great food and hot drinks. We will be back!

We came to this place to celebrate a big win, and it turned out to be one of the worst experiences ever. What made it horrible was the clear racism and bias they showed towards us. One staff member in particular stood out for their unprofessionalism, openly talking about us and pointing fingers to another table while we were sitting right there. It was shocking. It was supposed to be a joyful celebration, but the atmosphere created by the staff was hostile and completely unprofessional. No one should be treated like that, regardless of who they are or where they’re from. We will NEVER come back here again. Absolutely appalling behavior. Avoid this place if you value respect and decent service.

Needs a visit from food standard agency. This place is unhygienic and dirty. The staff will not clean the tables people have to do it themselves which isn’t ideal because the tables will need to be wiped clean and disinfected before anybody sits down to eat, the cutlery is always dirty with food particles, the staff hygiene is the worse, people making drinks will be drinking their own drinks and wiping their mouth while making drinks for customers, the other one was making bread and butter and she dropped the knife, picked it up and carried on, one of them were all over the pastries while playing with their trousers for whatever reason. The chef stuck his head in the gap between front and back kitchen and put a plate of hot food that looked like breakfast itched his head and fixed the eggs it’s horrible I wouldn’t want to be the person eating that. One had a runny nose and although used a tissue he didn’t wash his hands in between making drinks. Sadly I saw all of this after I ordered my food/drink so I left as when I tried to cancel my order it was a problem, rude staff the list goes on…avoid.

I stopped here after a visit to my daughter at Bournemouth uni. A great little stop to refuel and grab a couple of snacks. Clean and tidy, friendly staff and in a convenient location. A great little services.

My wife and I were in Eastbourne shopping and decided to have a drink and Sandwich while in this store. Sorry to say customer service was appealing. No one to guide you Picked up Ham sandwich Just that a piece of ham Margarine and two slices of white bread Bland tasteless and what can I say " yuk" Went to a machine which I selected Chocolate and a Lattee Sorry chocolate was like drinking warm yes warm milk Lattee was just warm milk and water Sorry I cannot recommend this place for a bite to eat and drink

Thank you Paula Dave and Katie for helping us make a fantastic party for our Chris, we had the best time ever ❤️ Debbie and Chris xxx

It's a given that a supermarket cafe is not going to present gormet food. But food they do have is simple and edible. There's enough choice between moments where circumstances beyond their control (broken machinery etc). I've never had an issue with staff, they are simply very busy and a lot is asked from them- stretched too far and not paid enough to deal with the rudeness of people!

Shocking food. Ordered the salt and peppers chips and they were dreadful. Chips were soggy and the salt and pepper was nowhere to be seen. Not a proper Chinese this at all. And my mate ordered a cheeseburger and he said that Birds Eye burgers was better. Undercooked by the grumpy burger and kebab maker. To many items on the menu cater for the kids in the sixth form college down the road. Avoid at all cost

My daughter booked this Premir inn as it is very close to Peppa Pig world at Paultons Park for a family weekend away with my 4 year old grandson. We were given our room, the beds were rock hard as were the pillows and there was mould on the bathroom ceiling however on raising this we were told as it was the Easter Bank Holiday they were fully booked. Later that evening the lights in our room went out and would not come back on. We spoke to reception who duly attended and checked the fuse box in our room. This did not work however when they went to the main fuse box they got the lights back on however on my grandson flicked on the bathroom light, bright orange sparks came out the fuse box and light switch. They offered to move us to another room however could not agree which one. The male on reception became very verbally abusive towards us and his young colleague, leaving her in tears, swearing in front of ourselves and other guests. When this was finally resolved my grandson was distraught and I was left to move all our luggage with no offer of assistance. To top it all Premier Inn, despite offering a refund had the gall to take the cost of the room out of my bank over a week later and have not offered any sort of apology or compensation

We ordered our meal on the touchscreen - 2 adult meals and 2 kids meals with drinks annd ice cream. After about 15 minutes one adult meal and both kids meals arrived. No drinks. The adults meal was stone cold and must have been sitting somewhere for ages. After 10 minutes we chased up the drinks and second adults meal. It was also stone cold when it finally arrived. We had to ask again for drinks. The chips were the worst. Pale, limp and cold. The glass of water was warmer than the chips. We had to ask 3 times for the ice cream which were tiny pots of Ben and Jerry’s, completely inedible as they had obviously defrosted then been frozen again. Revolting. There were staffing issues but they should have closed rather than serve expensive inedible food. Will avoid in future.

Sus pastas veganas comieron lo mejor que probédd. Nunca pierdo la oportunidad de comprar a granel cada vez que paso por la estación.

Absolutely fantastic food, we ordered large cod and large chips to share between two and the size and quality was outstanding, we had read previous reviews so were a little bit unsure but both the food and staff were spot on, well done The Catch.

Order a Mexican Loaded hot dog £7.50, absolutely dire. Can't remember the last time I'd wasted so much on terrible food. It was basically a tray of sloppy crap over a white sub roll and a hot dog sausage. Made all the bread soggy, couldn't pick it up to eat and struggled to eat it with the available wooden fork, ended up just eating the sausage Totally waste of money and unfulfilled

called in with my wife Christine today, we both picked a sausage sarnie and a cup of tea. Tried to find a table what was clean was nearly impossible, cups , plates , cutlery left every where , tables not wiped down , food on the floor , the menus were stuck together with ketchup , filthy , scruffy place. Staff who were served us were pleasant and polite but not enough clearing and wiping tables down , staff were only reason it gets 1 star, minging
