The best restaurants serving British food in England

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Good ale. We go there a lot. Easy carpark. Clean toilets. Nothing to dislike. Do book tho as it gets busy....with good reason.

When I placed the order it said 15-30 Kim’s and it ended up being an hour. Plus then the food was cold!

Came down from Nottingham to catch up with family, they could not have chosen a better place

Visited with my family last Wednesday around 3pm.Thoroughly enjoyed our fish & chips.Friendly prompt service,we will be back.Thank you.

Stopped for a breakfast, very nice scrambled egg and salmon on toast, lovely homemade cakes to take away with us, lovely place, very nice people and nice atmosphere.

I was there earlier in November on a Sundsy afternoon when the weather was extremely gloomy, misty and murky - the pub was essentially in the low lying clouds, and we wouldn't have been surprised to find ourselves at The Slaughtered Lamb (a la American Werewolf in London), but the laughter and chatter didn't stop when we walked in, and we were immersed in a nicely busy, warm and friendly atmosphere. My son and I just had a couple of guiness, but the food we saw being served up looked very appetising, with big servings, and plenty were eating. We've been before and I've heard the food is very good, and we'll be sampling it soon. I got the impression most people knew everybody else, but the staff and locals were all very friendly, made a fuss of our 2 dogs, and coupled with the traditional decor made for a cosy retreat from the grim weather outside. My previous visits had been confined to the beer garden at the back,(on sunny days) which has plenty of tables, a play area, and offers great views of the City centre and its skyscrapers - comfortably in the hazy distance,with plenty of green fields and scenery in between. A really nice pub, I'd recommend it.

We went as a family of 8 and all had a lovely meal. Very good traditional food. Pub grub done well. The chips were very nice. I can definitely recommend the steak and ale pie and fish and chips. Others in our party had the gammon which also looked delicious and the steak. Very cosy inside and friendly service. They were helpful with my partner's nut allergy. Plenty of free car parking. We will definitely try again.

From Canada & visited UK for the first time. This was the last pub my son & I visited during our six day trip. I wish we had gone earlier as we would have gone more often. Authentic pub with good people and warm smiles. It spoke to us immediately. Cheers eh!

Grilled chicken burger with pesto was a good light option. I love their fries with chipotle mayo. I liked the house lemonade.

Good restaurant with a smallish but varied menu (most meals £15-20), just a 10 minute drive from the ferry port. Food for 5 took about 10-15 minutes and was very tasty. Only complaint was that they make you sit in the bar area if you have a dog. It wasn't too bad but definitely less comfortable than the main seating area.

Fantastic service nice and friendly service.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Food was great and service was also excellent

We came here on a recommendation on a Thursday 2.00 pm lunch treat. Unfortunately it wasn’t great from the start, there wasn’t any heating apart from a struggling log burner and an electric portable, which by the way we managed to sit at the table two feet away and still debated about putting our coats back on. I ordered the roast turkey , which I was told straight away that it was turkey roll not slices of breast but I was fine with that. When it arrived it was two slices of turkey, four parsnips and a small sweet potato, hardly enough for a child, it was tasty but disappointing. So on to desert… we were both going to order the banoffee pie as it’s one of our favourites but after discussing it with the waitress and hearing that it actually came what she called “ deconstructed “ crushed biscuit in one area ice cream on another and a caremelised banana to one side.. hardly banoffee pie as I know and love we opted out and went for the crumble.. can’t go wrong with crumble we thought.. oh dear got that wrong .. who leaves the skins on the pears when making a crumble.. it’s as if the chef is changing the recipe just for the sake of it when not necessary.its a pub not fu fu restaurant.sorry didn’t take any photos.wont be returning but after this review I expect they won’t want us back.

Had a lovely meal hear last night and the service was excellent and the food very nice I would definitely be back again soon.

Sadly I took a close business associate to this restaurant on the recommendation of Trip Advisor We had travelled all day from different cities to different hotels to meet at the About Thyme Restaurant it was very closed and so far we have been told it has been that way for many months May I suggest that TA keeps their records up to date as with most technology it is driven by humans and is only as good as the information that is put in This was a very expensive mistake Obviously in future I will always check that TA is accurate I have always enjoyed TA and intend doing so in the future but please update your records
