The best restaurants serving British food in England

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Delightful in every way

Mana is Manchester’s first Michelin starred restaurant and one of only two in the city; the 2nd being recently awarded to Skof. I decided to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my wife here. Overall it was a good experience although imo quite expensive for what we received. Undoubtedly a huge effort went into the food presented with a total (I think) of 14 dishes served. However no dish really stood out for me that I’d say was exceptional. With that said, no dish was poor or not enjoyable either. The restaurant is in Ancoats and is one large open space accommodating a lounge, the tables and an open kitchen. I quite liked the minimalist clean decor however my wife got startled on a few occasions with sudden loud bursts of “yes chef” from the open kitchen. Service was mixed. Our sommelier was great (and highly entertaining!) however the young lady at reception didn’t even smile at us when we walked in & then mistakenly added £140 extra on our bill at the end. Like many fine dining restaurants I’ve been to, Mana’s worthwhile for a special occasion but it’s unlikely I’d go back again.

Stopped here for lunch and I had the hunters chicken ciabatta with sweet potato fries. It was very nice indeed. My only complaint was that I got a bone in the chicken which I was going to point out but no-one came to us to ask how our meal was or to take our dishes away, the staff were upstairs as it was closing time and they were clearing up (I assume). When we went to pay for it the girl didn't ask if everthing was ok or how our meal was so I didn't bother saying anything. It didn't stop me from enjoying my meal or my time spent here.

One of best pasty shops in bolton, very cheap

Always fresh, always clean Thank you

Have been using this place for many years. I moved away from London and whenever I come back to London I always grab Rock and chips (can't get it up in Hartlepool). I was very pleased with the meal I purchased and will return back when next in Ha well.

We had another wonderful evening at Sylvan Oak. Despite being fully booked all the staff were attentive and the service was exemplary. Ben was his usual friendly professional self with everyone. Compliments to the chefs for such delicious and beautifully presented food. We will, of course, look forward to returning. Thank you Sylvan Oak!

Clean friendly environment. Staff a,ways ready to help and ensure that your needs are catered for.Would highly recommend. Looking forward to our next visit. Very reaspriced. Plea to kf parking.

Fantastic chippy, great service, great food and steady stream of locals getting their dinner. DO NOT GOTO THE MARKET PLACE CHIPPY. GO HERE.

Lovely takeaway coffee, enjoyed in the nearby gardens overlooking Whitby.

Stopped here for a coffee and cheese scone. Excellent facilities, lovely staff and amazing cheese scone, butter & chutney. Topped the energy levels after a 8 mile cycle ride from Pateley Bridge. Ready for my ride over Middlesmoore down to Scar House reservoir and back to Pateley Bridge. Well worth stopping here.

Really lovely pub. Food was delicious and good value.

Where to start! Booked table online no email confirmation so tried ringing but just a recorded message. We arrived via the back door from the car park passing an open door to the kitchen and saw a heap of Yorkshire Puddings on a shelf open to the elements. Relieved to have a table we settled in and ordered our drinks one of which arrived incorrectly. Ordered two turkey dinners minus the 'yorkies' !! It came rather quickly which in itself seemed odd. It was below average for the cost. We then ordered desserts, sticky toffee pudding with custard and a lemon meringue pie. These were not good and obviously bought in. Expressing our disappointment staff weren't interested even though they had asked our opinion. We decided not to order anything else and was then presented with the bill without us asking for it. Over the time we were there we were served by numerous different staff not allocated one waitress which would have been preferable. On paying we again were asked how everything had been and again we told them we had felt very rushed and it had not been the relaxing Sunday lunch we had envisaged. Absolutely no apology and she obviously resented our negative comments. In hindsight I wish I had read recent reviews and realised the extensive menu was somewhat dubious and probably not all prepared on the premises. Pub is beautiful inside, such a shame about being rushed with lack of customer service and poor food. We will not be returning.

She has a beautiful smile, the preparation to said smile is even cuter. I hope you witness said opportunity from your visit.

The food came quickly however the evening atmosphere is definitely a bar and not conducive to eating food. The breakfast burger was excellent but the sole in a roll was very dry and the bread was stale and rock hard. When this was reported to the team there was a half hearted apology and no follow up. I would have expected some gesture of good will. In short, I'm not sure would return for food, although the drinks selection looked good at the bar.
