The best restaurants serving British food in England

Had a fab afternoon in the crown and the landlord was generous with his time.

Wonderful lunch here. Service was very friendly and efficient. The food was excellent choosing from christmas set menu. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Cannot wait to return to this charming little gem of a restaurant.

Very welcoming staff and local customers. Excellent choice of food available. Food was served promptly and was of excellent quality.

Went for a pre-Christmas dinner, and wasn't disappointed ! Great food. Fast service. A really tidy, clean place ! Recommended.

Ox club never disappoints. Beautifully fresh food, perfectly executed. Koffman fries are a must. Service is always great too.

Love cartmel always come here on way to lakes worth the detour great village shop

I have been coming to The Star for a number of years with my grandparents. The friendly staff always look after us so well and the food is always top draw (both in terms of choice and food quality). Quite simply a brilliant pub and atmosphere.

Had a lovely late lunch here. Cosy fire on in the bar so it was lovely and warm on a miserable day. Food was fresh, hot, tasty and homemade. Staff were really friendly and atmosphere was good. Would definitely visit again.

Seafood restaurant. Wow. Great tasting dishes. Fish needs to be fresh to give such a great texture to every bite. Veg is out of this world. How the Chef does it, is beyond me. Value for money. IPA is in bottles, just ask. Well recommended.

Great food and always friendly staff.

We spent a fabulous hour and a half at The Steel Cauldron. Sir Basil really made us feel important with special attention to our birthday girl and we really appreciated the jokes, demos and magic tricks. Everyone loved it. Perfect food platter as well! Would very much recommend. Magic all around 🎉

The Artist Residence, Penzance. I went here to eat for my 50th birthday and honestly it ruined my entire big day. I asked for a gluten free burger bun and it came with a piece of burnt toast on top that was so crispy that it crumbled into dust. The burger ‘garnish’ was a lame bit of lettuce, that was, it with a tiny pot of barbecue sauce on the side but absolutely nothing more. In fairness the burger tasted nice but there was no attempt to make the food look enticing in the slightest. The chips were ‘loaded’ which meant a melted bit of processed cheese on top and some kind of sweetcorn in vinegar which was utterly repulsive as it made everything slimy. Portion sizes were also unimpressive. I went with three friends and they all felt exactly the same way but as we are so ‘typically’ British we were too polite to say anything. Plus, it was my birthday and I think that made it more awkward. I was also really upset after as I had organised us going there - I felt I had wasted other people’s money too. My burger & fries cost approx £20. I will never, ever, ever in a million years ever eat in there again. In fact, I have chatted to various other people since and got similar feedback or a thank you for giving them a heads up. You may be able to get away with the bare minimum amount of effort in the middle of summer when there’s a tourist frenzy but this time of year when it’s locals eating out it should be a different story. The only plus side was that the waiter who served us was lovely.

Good Gluten Free options. The sticky Toffee pudding was the Best I've ever had

Absolutely stunning, 1st time we have been in and the welcome was so warm. The food is another level. I had the specials which were “special”. Cannot wait to come back in and work through the menu.

Great fully plant-based menu - appears to be same/similar to Orange in Mousehole. We had loaded fries, sausage/cheese sandwich and cakes for lunch - all very tasty. Nice seating inside and extensive outside seating for when the weather is good. Just a shame it hasn't been open for longer in the summer.
