The best restaurants serving British food in England

Most disappointing, The wait staff seemed very friendly but there were at least four people giving them orders so the place seemed rather confused. After we were escorted to a seat we felt somewhat abandoned and after about five minutes had to get up, walk to the desk and ask for menus. My wife’s French Toast arrived and was accompanied by 8 berries and a single tablespoon of whipped cream, only one side of the slice of bread had been immersed in egg. My Hot Chocolate was so watery that I left most of it behind. In fact we had eaten half of our meal before we could flag down a staff member and enquire about our yet-to-arrive drinks only to be told that the bar was very busy. Well that certainly made us feel better. We eventually left our half-eaten food behind, paid the bill and left, never to return. Until the quality of food and service improves I would recommend avoiding this place.

Please avoid this place at all costs. Not only did I pay £40 for 3 kebabs and 1 portion of chips (including £13 for a large chicken sheesh on its own), when I asked for ketchup with my chips one of the staff raised their voice at me in front of the other customers and said I had sauce in my wrap already and he was too busy to give me some. Felt like I had to beg for some ketchup! Awful customer service. The chilli sauce is also far too spicy, couldn’t feel my lips after. If you fancy overpriced food and a chance to get yelled at, come to this place.

After shopping in M & S Food felt the need for a pitstop. Wasn’t impressed by the range of food but ordered a flat white and panini. The coffee was fine but can’t understand why saucers seemed to have disappeared from M & S Cafes. It must be easier and cheaper to wipe tables than wash saucers. Enjoyed the panini and the staff were friendly and helpful.

If you want a quick lunch then DON'T go here, long queues and ONE member of staff who moves like a tortoise. Disgraceful.

We stopped for tea and coffee here today and was so shocked at firstly the price for a tea and a coffee secondly when we took the lid off our cups they where just about half full and thirdly I asked for just a splash of milk in the tea and instead they took no notice and added loads of milk totally spoiling the drink. There is no customer service at all it’s just take your money and move out the way attitude we certainly will not visit this site again.

From onsite management down, this place needs some positive redirection!. Care support private company need to seriously get their act together!. Some sub management, really aren't fit for purpose!, and as nice and compliant as restaurant staff are, the opening times are mediocre. Wish i could rate Whitley court higher, but there are so many issues in reality over a period of five and a half months since ive lived here, that only a complete fool would miss!!

Suggest giving the cafe a swerve and if you want to spend, donate your money to IWM instead. Went on 16th April. Ordered cream tea, no decaf tea so had a decaf Nescafé sachet for £8. Long time to get served despite 3 staff members and not much of a queue. They were looking at pots of clotted cream and putting them back in the fridge for about 5-10 mins and went to the kitchen to get fresh. Then returned with cream, I immediately challenged that the date on the cream was 14th April and we were on 16th. I was advised that the fresh Roddas clotted cream can last for a year out the fridge so the best before date is 14th April 2025 not 2024 and it’s ok. Fresh cream does not last 12 months. It was clear it was known too by the behaviour and speed of service I asked for a refund, the member of staff said yes. Then no one returned. Waited 10 mins and went back to the counter the request refund for the cake, I paid for the coffee as I’d drank that whilst waiting. Whilst getting a refund and paying for the coffee, the supervisor threw the cream in the bin, which I challenged. If you don’t have suitable cream that’s fine, lying about it when it’s clearly out of date is poor form and led to slow and unpleasant service. It also made me feel very uncomfortable when I raised it as I didn’t want to eat out of date food.

There are so many coffee shops in Whitley Bay, and Boodles has identified a niche in serving boba. However every time we have been they never ever have the brown sugar boba (which I think is the most popular flavour?!) One time we were even told they only serve that on a Saturday which sounds bizarre?! Also when sitting in for a coffee I really don’t like being served it in a cardboard cup, I’d prefer a proper mug or cup.

Das Kaffee bietet alles was man in einem Kaffee erwartet. Gut gelegen und ordentlich ausgestattet, ist dies ein guter Platzfür zwischendurch.

This is not a noticeably good pub for food. On the lower side of ordinary. there are other places to eat in bigbury, not least the generally very good Oyster Shack. people who view this on the Plymouth listing should not be put off the wholly acceptable Royal oak pub at Hooe on the Plymstock Turnchapel side of Plymouth or the sometimes too busy and slapdash but largely OK Royal oak at Meavy.

Don't want to be able to see the waitresses underwear when eating my nearly cold, badly cooked food. longer skirt and different chef would be advised.

Visitamos con amigos para tomar una copa y decidimos comer. 3 De las 4 comidas estaban bien, pero el 4 de julio de ser pescado y patatas fritas llegamos con guisantes como balas. Cuando fue llamado por miembro del personal y dijeron que los guisantes se comiera él dijo "lo siento por eso" es y no hizo ningún intento de ofrecer una solución, luego repitió que eran incomibles y su respuesta fue 'bien qué quieres hacer? 'en un camino de enfrentamiento. Me instó plato y era bastante anonadados por su respuesta y actitud así que dije 'absolutamente nada que luego respondió "ok" y caminamos lejos! Se fue a otro miembro del personal y se fueron a la cocina. Entonces fui y me dieron el director y le hicieron consciente y comentó que él fue uno de sus mejores empleados. Tomó mi comida y fue sustituido, pero acabé no comer todo como me dejaron comer en mi propio como todo el mundo había terminado su comida. No nos cobraron por la comida, pero no comeré allí de nuevo! Desde la reforma, están tratando de ser de categoría pero no! Una experiencia totalmente decepcionante y, en general, una mala relación calidad-precio!

An OK macchiato at a cost of £2.75, overs snacks etc, probably will find hopefully a small independent next time. Ambience is communal...
