The best restaurants serving British food in England

Yes...its a YES from us! Five people fitted in a last moment, in a busy restaurant, with zero drama. To be fair, not sure about the vegan black pudding, and the corn fed chicken needed something green on the plate and, did we are being picky, the chocolate sweet was not really a fondant, but that IS being picky. Over all of this the excellence of the linguine, the brule and the service makes this a "must repeat" experience. Thank you everyone at The Foresters!👍😁

I absolutely love the Grainstore. Food impeccable lovely atmosphere. However, I booked a table for Sunday lunch on Sunday 23 rd March. I was in the Grainstore on Friday and said to the staff see you Sunday !! We arrive for our Sunday roast to find the doors locked! More customers stood outside!!! A lady opens the door and says sorry we are closed for a private function!!!! Not impressed why take my booking? No information stating it was closed on Friday regarding Sunday… this is very poor . So disappointed

Great food, lovely staff and service! Its becoming a regular venue for us to meet friends! 😀😘

Excellent food and a stunning location. If the weather is nice, request a table outside for amazing views. The service is friendly as well.

Great family run pub. Great food. Always made welcome. Best pub for miles.

An amazing place in a beautiful location... The narrow road through fields to this pub was very pleasant to drive. Great food and great beer.

We drove past this place a few weeks ago. It looked so inviting that the three of us tried to get in but as it is such a popular place there was quite a waiting time. Despite being disappointed we vowed to return another day. We returned today and to our delight we were able to be accommodated immediately. So glad we chose to return. As soon as you enter the place the décor just grabs your attention. There were hearts everywhere you looked. The plates with your meal on are even heart -shaped - as well as the spoons. How nice is that? The place is beautifully decorated in bright colours with a certain appeal for young and old. I’m sure the kids would love to eat in such delightful surroundings. The menu is more than adequate to satisfy most people. The portions are very generous, and the chips, that come with some of the meals, deserve a special mention – they are to die for. We were too full from the main meal - but maybe next time we can leave enough room to sample the desserts. The staff make you very welcome - being very attentive and polite. We were served by the very capable and charming Leah, who smiled throughout the time she attended to us. In fact, all of the staff went about their duties in the most pleasant of manner. A big thank you to all the staff for turning our first visit in to a wonderful experience. For the effort that the management and the staff put into making your visit a pleasant one this place certainly deserves to be successful. Give it a try – you won’t be disappointed.

It was my birthday and we booked a roast Sunday dinner from6.30pm. The food and service were exemplary and I was dismayed to hear negative comments from the diners next to us, which were both unfounded and unfair. I am a vegetarian since 1987 and the nut roast offered was without doubt the best I have ever tasted. Everything about this meal was superb and my compliments go to both the chef and the excellent waiting staff. Cannot wait to come again.

Nice place to stop and have some food or just a quick coffee. Quite a simple place but offers a good range of food and drinks. Seating both at the front of the building and also a hide-away area around the back which is a real sun trap in the summer. There is a stream nearby so you can get a take-way down there. Used by local celebrities!! Lovely place.

1st time here and what a find , lovely host and waitress made you most welcome , the food was incredible very tasty indeed , the ambience was excellent , next time in Sheringham a defo booking .

6 of us: me, my wife, 2 sons and their wives. One person with a difficult food sensitivity. We talked with them the week before about the food sensitivity and they worked round it beautifully delivering a tasting menu of wonderful dishes beautifully presented and served by professional and friendly staff all working together.

The most amazing food in such a friendly environment! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is travelling to the West Country to stop here en route. The welcome was warm and the hospitality was amazing

Warm and very friendly, only visited in the week so not very busy. Food was very good and bar ladies very helpful and friendly.

Visited for Sunderland Restaurant Week (3 courses for £20). Our first time visiting but won’t be the last! Lovely cosy atmosphere, themed around Alice in Wonderland. Decorated really quirkily, with some really interesting pieces of Alice art. Staff were so friendly and welcoming, taking the time to come to chat at the table. The food was so, so nice. Beautifully cooked and well presented. Not a bad thing to say about this place. Already looking forward to next time.

Great place to stay and eat. Lovely people, lovely landscape, and they even posted something back to me that I forgot to pack! Would definitely stay there again.
