The best restaurants serving British food in England

I have stayed here 3 times in the last 2 months ! Menu basic , always with fries , slightly over priced . This place could and would be a great place to eat if the menu improves.. Staff are ok some friendly and some not so friendly. It has always been clean(no issues there ) ! Who ever is the proprietor is (YOU NEED TO PULL YOUR FINGER OUT AND GET WITH YOUR CLIENTS REQUIREMENTS) Thank you Ps There is a McDonald’s and Greggs , however if you want something decent,this truck stop is truly lacking 😔

June 1, 2024 - Came in with a family group of 16. We figured it would be a long-shot to get all of us sat at one time, but the staff came through and found seats for all of us upstairs. We felt so welcomed even though we took over the space for a while. The fish and chips were stellar and the cider on draft was crisp. The family thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who needs a good bite to eat.

A couple of drinks and snack before our flight. We ordered food which was a long wait, turned out the table number had been taken down wrong. Staff were apologetic and re ordered the food. Katie brought the food and offered us a complimentary drink... she didn't have to and it was appreciated, Thank you Katie, and great customer service from all the team today 😊

Used to be a great family restaurant but now the menu has been severely reduced and quality of food is not so good.

The cafe staff are friendly,nothing is too much trouble. They are pleasant,and great service. Had food occasionally found service and food excellent

Customer service lacking. Latte passible and shop toilets filthy. At least seating area pleasant enough. In reality, not ideal!

Yo quería un almuerzo bien, pero por desgracia no fue.

Don't be fooled...kids don't eat free. Bought full breakfast so children could eat free and then was charge for small sausage sandwich and a bowl of beans £4.25 for children. Should provide a list for children to choose from. Very rude staff and very dirty cutlery. Will not go again.

I love Greg's but come on 5.70 for 4 iced doughnut and 3.60 for 4 normal jam everywhere esle their a pound terrible prices there's no need for these prices

My wife and I visit here quite often and for a garden centre eatery it is no more than average. The staff are pleasant but still lack any sense of urgency or capacity react when bottlenecks start building up although there is an older lady behind the salad bar/pizza area who is excellent. The food is quite good, filled rolls are expensive but the bread is good and the fillings generous. The salad bar is good value and if you arrive before 1.30 has a good choice of items. The cooked food offers pizza cooked to order or several hot choises like pork loin, fish and chips, ribs, casserole etc. These are reasonable value especially the pensioners deal. The food that we have had has been well presented and reasonably tasty.

I came in at 4pm with a friend and chose a bottle that was almost £50....we chose a table in the empty bar/restaurant however as soon as we sat down were asked if we were eating....as we weren't we were asked to move....when we left at 6:40pm there were probably 40+ empty tables.....why ask us to move ??? Jobsworth and ridiculous... Also bar staff training need....when there are guests standing at the bar please at least acknowledge their presence...we were invisible for probably 10 minutes before we were served despite there being 4 staff working the bar....

Popped in for breakfast, was immediately with a friendly smile. The food was really tasty, fresh and loved the tea with warm milk-just as I like it . All in all, loved the experience.

I was here for an afternoon tea gathering for a large group of persons and I was SO disapppinted with the food and the service. The vegetarian tea had incredibly poor choices. I have had many vegetarian afternoon teas in the north east of England and this was the worst by a long way. Service was also very poor. The setting of this hotel is magnificent but the food and service was well below what you would expect from a hotel of this advertised quality.

The coffee is good the service is very good but the crushies have been absolutely disgusting they have no taste and are a waste of money they need to be stronger they are basically expensive water

After a late-morning visit to a local cinema, it was well-gone 14:00 when the film ended. We were hungry for a snack lunch and wanted something quick, and nearby. This branch of M&S (with a café) is only a short drive from the cinema. We were able to park easily in the capacious carpark (maybe ‘carpacious’). So, we were soon ordering two smoked-bacon sourdough rolls each with a large cup of Americano Coffee (with hot milk). The ‘Senior Barista’ offered us miniscule jugs of hot milk, not even enough to make a small coffee suit. So, we asked her if the hot milk could be poured directly into our cups, and this was done. I did get the distinct impression that the lady in question seemed not particularly happy to oblige us. Certainly the quantity of milk, we did have, would have easily filled six of the ‘miniscule’ jugs. Maybe there was a cost implication? We would, however, have been happy to pay extra. Food is cooked-to-order and delivered to tables, so were given a tall plastic sign (like a single-fold birthday card) to display on our table with a number ‘26’ on it. This just would not stand-up, and I had to bend the sign along the fold to narrow the angle to make it do so. Our coffee was not-so-great; it lacked the bitter caramel flavour that we look for. Do not assume that was due to the quantity of milk; as we have similar ratios of milk to coffee at home and in other cafés, without losing the flavours we look for. Our bacon rolls were great; hot, plenty of good smoked-bacon, and a fresh sourdough bun. Just what we wanted, especially as we had found-out where the brown sauce sachets were kept (by the kitchen servery).
