The best restaurants serving British food in England

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to Cupcakes2Love for their amazing support at our event today at Keepmoat Homes for National Apprentice Week. Their service was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The cupcakes were not only delicious but also beautifully designed to perfectly match the theme of our event. The attention to detail was spot on, and it was clear they put a lot of thought and care into every aspect. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional service and quality. Thank you again for making our event even sweeter!

Popped into Barbetta’s today with a group of four. We were given menus while we waited, then shown to a table once one became available. We ordered four hot drinks and were quietly enjoying them when, out of the blue, a “Reserved” sign was plonked on our table. A member of staff then came over and said, “I’m sorry, this table is reserved so I’m going to get the bill now and I’ll have to ask you to pay.” We were all a bit taken aback — not only were some of us still finishing our drinks, but the way it was said felt incredibly abrupt and quite rude. When I quietly said to my friend that I thought the service had been a bit off, the server overheard and challenged me, asking “Did you think I was rude then?” in a very defensive and confrontational way. She then informed us — only at that point — that they were only serving food today, and implied we shouldn’t have been seated for drinks. At no time were we told this when we arrived or ordered. Had that been made clear, we would have had no issue going elsewhere. Instead, we were made to feel unwelcome and like an inconvenience. It’s a shame, really. What could have been a pleasant visit turned into a very uncomfortable experience. Sadly, we won’t be returning — not because of the policy, but because of the way we were spoken to and treated. A bit of basic communication and courtesy would’ve gone a long way.

Had a great night watching the football pity England weren’t as good as the bar. Staff everyone excellent great crowd left about hour after the match

Awful experience in here yesterday. With in 10 seconds of trying to order a drink I was made to feel about 2" tall. I asked the barman if he had any gluten free beers on draft and he bluntly said no. No alternatives offered or anything, he then abruply pointed me to the half empty fridge where he said there might be a gluten free beer in. I asked if he knew what beers are gluten free in the fridge to which he replied "I don't know you will have to look through them all." He then proceeded to try and look over me to the person behind to try and serve them. The level of service was diabolical and as a venue offering food and drinks it is expected that your staff know what they are selling and what allergens are in the products you are selling. I would not trust this venue again and would not recommend anyone with an allergy goes here. It is certainly not a coeliac friendly venue and they don't care. After having a bottle of cider we decided to leave and go elsewhere. Said barman was coming in from the outside and not even a thank you have a good day or anything, it was clear we where leaving as all four of us walked towards the exit. The other barman behind the bar equally didn't even say thanks or anything. Having worked in bars and restaurants myself the level of service was shocking. I know that you will probably come back and say oh sorry about this we had been busy, but in all honesty it wasn't that busy and there is no excuse for letting service slip to such a shoddy standard especially when it comes to things like allergens. You are selling products to people you should know your product and actively want to sell it, not think "oh this person has an allergen we don't want them here" or "oh they are an inconvenience I'll give them bad service" at a time where budgets are squeezed and business is struggling you would think every customer counts... Not here. Upon leaving we went to the beer emporium where the staff where more than happy to go and get the gluten free options out of the fridge and talk me through them. This is how it should be done. Again I do not recommend this place if you have allergies and I won't be returning. It is one of the most unfriendly places to visit with an allergy I have ever been to.

Great place for a pint and food very friendly staff always a warm welcome

A great local village pub serving well kept beer and fantastic, honest, home cooked food with good variety on an ever changing menu. Dog friendly.

I went for the Taste of Thailand evening with my husband. The atmosphere and service was very nice, the students were very attentive and polite. There were six courses in total and I went away extremely full. In terms of cooking, I understand that they are learning and will definitely not have gained the skill and experience of trained chefs or cooks from that region so the fact that they gave it a go was fantastic and something to build on for the future. If I could just give some honest and specific feedback about the food, hopefully it will be taken on with a view to improve. The Golden cups were cold (not sure if they were supposed to be). The chicken satay sticks were over cooked or maybe breast was used which can dry out quickly, the peanut satay sauce was lovely with big chunks of peanuts and the cucumber salad dip was a nice compliment to the meat. The Khao soi was quite decent for a beginner but really missed the picked mustard greens which can be purchased at the Asian Supermarket a mile away, it is essential. The Pad Thai was not bad but it was a shame that nice big prawns were way over cooked. Rice was over cooked for the curry but definitely edible but the curry was way to dry. Finally, the sticky rice for the mango sticky rice was not cooked enough, too raw so not edible. Lots of learning points for basic cooking and I hope they get the chance to keep improving. Good attempt for non-Thai students, well done.

Top chippy biggest portion chips had for long time fish was good too

Excellent quality breakfast, good service and lovely surroundings. It's a handy little cafe nicely tucked away and a short walk from Salt's Mill. Staff were great, will be back

Another fantastic night of gorgeous food and great service. Love it here. Jane and Emily work in perfect harmony to create a great ambiance x

Lovely olde worlde pub with oodles of character. Great function room upstairs, which worked well for a small barn dance. We loved playing there for Burns Night!

Came to go to the bookstore which was stated as open. Spoke to the rudest woman when I calling to ask if they were open as we had arrived. Was told they aren't open - my partner had gone into the pub to enquire while I called and say the shitty face she was pulling while on the phone. Great customer service - not. Kindly advised her it might be a good shout to update their open hours on Google and was told they're open on Thursday... 4 days away and that it wasn't exactly long to wait. Thanks. We'd not driven over an hour to come and look in the store.. Absolute disgrace.

The hand pulled beers we had were spot on and very friendly service.

Highly recommend this place! Definitely one of the best fish and chip shops I’ve been to. The fish was freshly cooked, the batter was crispy and the portions were perfect. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the premises were spotless, very clean. Will definitely go back..

This is not a review….. this is a message to let everyone know that new owners of the pub and campsite are working hard to bring the premises up to standard. The pub and campsite as well as the kitchen will be open in the very near future… please disregard any previous reviews. The pub, campsite and restaurant will be open soon with great beer and stunning food and campsite catering for all
