The best restaurants serving British food in England

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.

Didn't stay but went for an evening meal. Can't comment on the accommodation. The food was delicious. Highly recommended.

Its refreshingly different, with views that compare to the Mediterranean.

Robin is a man, a man of seemingly average stature upon first inspection, but after sharing just a few moments with him, it becomes clear he is no man, but a god. Thank you Robin for having us, we talk about you every few days.

A really lovely meal, hot flavoursome, and generous portions. Traditional fayre. Will definately visit again.

This was a wonderful find and I have been back on a number of occasions. The food is amazing and the staff and atmosphere is brilliant. The sad note to this is that it is closing soon and we will be missing yet another excellent pub due to lack of custom. I’ll be very sad to see the end of yet another amazing establishment.

Enjoyed a meal and a drink here.

Good food but should i say expensive.

We visited on the opening day of the new season, and they were having a few technical problems but the lady who was obviously the proprietor was overcoming them smoothly. We had a crab pastie and a mackerel ciabatta. Both were utterly delicious, but small portion sizes for £7.50 and £9.50.

I cannot believe that I am just now leaving the review! We have visited in December as a surprise birthday treat for me. There is not much to say apart from perfection! I am not surprised by their first star, and I can imagine myself them getting more in future. The standard is just so high. Food was incredible, creative, but also very familiar in a way. Fun but also not relying on theatre to deliver. The taste truly comes first and presentation is there to elevate, which was just wonderfully balanced. The sake is just incredible. The service was on just as high standard as food. We felt very comfortable, looked after but not overbearing. I could go on and on how wonderful this all was, but really it’s just better to go visit by yourself if you have a chance

Vibrant busy place. Great service, great food and a really good atmosphere. Don't miss out give it a go.
