The best restaurants serving British food in England

Love this place, never had a bad meal here. The roasts are good but I seriously recommend the pies if you are a pie fan. That's what I go for every time. The Sri Lanka curry is good for the vegos or dairy allergies like my daughter.

We used to eat at this pub when living in the area 15-20 years ago but have not been since moving away. Nothing much had changed and we had a very pleasant meal in reasonable surroundings The menu was fairly varied and nothing was too pricey, although the size of the portions was perhaps a little smaller. However there were many options for additional sides/extras. etc and we prefer sensible prices with more sensible- sized portions rather than high prices and vast portions!! My husband’s rump steak was amazing and perfectly cooked. It was also refreshing to go to a pub where desserts weren’t stupidly expensive. The staff were all very friendly and service was good. Overall, excellent value for money, decent food and good service.

This is the 2nd time I have visited The Duke and the experience this time was not as good. Unfortunately, the waiting staff seemed very disorganised and were not very attentive when taking the order. The cutlery, serviettes were not brought out all at once but they kept coming backwards and forwards. One of the party had the gnocchi and when the waiter asked if we wanted anything else, ie, sauces, etc, they requested some parmesan cheese. The waiter returned to say that we could have parmesan but there would be an extra charge of £1 ! I have never in all the times I have visited restaurants have been asked to pay extra for parmesan cheese. We then asked to speak to the manager, who came over and said she would have to speak to the chef as she was a temporary manager. I am not sure what that had to do with making a decision on whether or not we had to pay for the parmesan. I pointed out that a member of the party was having the fish & chips but had requested at the time of ordering that they did not want the mushy peas or tartare sauce. We would certainly not have expected to receive a reduction in the price ! The temporary manager then said she did not want to argue about it so would bring a portion of parmesan for no extra cost. I was a bit annoyed as there should have not been any argument at all as surely a small grating of parmesan should be free anyway, or the price incorporated in the cost of the meal !

Great pizza, hot and made on time. The staff are pleasant as well.

Popped into the beer garden and then waited at the bar for ages, nobody came to serve us, so we left. I think there was only one member of staff running about serving food and drinks. From a visit to the toilet , the restaurant inside was like a building site and the toilets were dirty and smelly. Being so close to the beach it seems to catch passing trade but there are better options a short walk up the street.

Disappointing roast, after what looked like a great Sunday lunch on the menu it turned out to be quite disappointing, roast potatoes were hard the roast beef wasn't great and there wasn't much choice of veg. Stuffing (1 piece) was the size of a ping pong ball, we also had to ask for extra gravy which when it arrived was barely enough to drown a fly in. They seemed to be very tight with portions Some nice extra fresh veg would of been enough to make it worthwhile it seems this place struggles on knocking up a decent roast.

So disappointed in this place. The pub itself was kept nicely. But sadly the Moretti was undrinkable and the food….. well!!! All I can say is DO NOT waste your money! We had Sunday dinner (£17.75) option of lamb or sausage - my partner chose the sausage) and I chose the Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy (£9). The whole meal was frozen cheap rubbish. I have attached pictures to show the poor quality. Extremely over priced poor quality food. The mug of Yorkshire Tea was nice though.

Not been for 6 months due to the group of F ers that sit round the table near the front door , but went in on Friday for a meal and no change , a group of 6 F ing this and F ing that and F ing everything , totally unsuitable with my 9 year old grandson going for a game of pool , wont be going again . Food was good though .

If I had wanted a McDonald's experience, I would have gone to Macdonalds. Long queue. People struggling to use the machines to order. Left and went to Costa.

We only had chips so can not comment on any else but they wee soggy and the oil definitely needs changing as the chips were covered in black bits! Won't be going back!

First time visit in years Fish was small overcooked and tough around edges It looked like it had been cooked days before and just kept warm Chips were ok but again just warm Over £23 for two fish and one portion of chips with a small portion of mushy peas Will definitely not be back

Cheese and onion toastie was probably the worst I have ever eaten. The toast was dry, the crusts inedible and the filling almost nonexistent.

Mostly Bad service and terrible food thats way over priced, bland and under or over cooked. Staff don't get payed enough.

Stood waiting for my order for 20 minutes only to be told that they hadn't started my order because the batter was no good. Appalling service.

Having been disappointed over the last year I persuaded my mum to join me for their new over 60's meal deal Which I had heard of on social media. With trepidation we thought let's give it another try. Wow. We were both impressed with cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. It's a totally different experience and would recommend people try it again. Food was lovely as well
