The best restaurants serving British food in England

Setting is lovely and the Sunday roast we had was very good. My elderly mum had the children 's portion of sea bass which was sufficient for her. The banana banoffee pie was amazing but the Eton mess was underwhelming Waiting staff were not as attentive as I would have liked. We were there early so it was not busy but I struggled to get their attention at times

Visited here yesterday with my husband for a lovely Sunday roast. We had the Sunday sharer which was absolutely delicious we were served by the wonderful Josh c who was very helpful and polite. Will definitely be returning 10/10😊

We visited The Coach House at Middleton Lodge for Sunday lunch, drawn in by its beautiful setting. The restaurant itself is lovely, with a stunning converted barn and a charming bar and seating area. However, the meal did not live up to expectations, especially considering the price. From the start, the experience felt a little off. We were seated behind a bookshelf, which made our spot feel dark and tucked away, lacking the warm and inviting atmosphere we had hoped for. I skipped the starter as nothing particularly appealed to me, while my partner chose the mushroom soup. It was pleasant but unremarkable. For my main, I opted for the beef roast, as I always think you can judge a restaurant by how well they handle a classic Sunday roast. Unfortunately, the beef was disappointing. While it wasn’t tough or chewy, it was served with an excessive amount of fat that added nothing to the dish. I had to spend time cutting away large portions of inedible fat, which was frustrating and took away from the enjoyment of the meal. For £24, I expected a much better quality cut. This felt careless and poorly prepared. The accompaniments were also underwhelming. The carrots were nicely done, but the overall vegetable selection was uninspiring. Kale was the only green vegetable, when something more traditional like cabbage, peas, or broccoli would have been a better choice. Even more puzzling was the addition of a side salad, which felt completely out of place. The mashed potatoes were smooth and well-made, but the roast potatoes were disappointingly small and lacked the crispy exterior you would hope for. For the price, I expected far better. A local hotel near us serves an excellent Sunday roast for just £15, with perfectly cooked beef every time. By comparison, this felt overpriced and lacking attention to detail. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. While the setting is beautiful, the food simply did not justify the cost, and I wouldn’t return for Sunday lunch.

Went in for breakfast, absolutely lovely service and banging breakfast...so reasonably priced as well! Couldn't ask for more!!😁

Lovely staff and food was amazing, I’d been told a lot that people liked this place. We went for Mother’s Day, absolutely brilliant food and lovely staff.

Qué pena, este restaurante era fabuloso. Gran personal, comida increíble, nunca dejó de impresionar. Le deseo lo mejor en el futuro. Estamos destripados que no pudimos visitar antes de que cierres.

From being greeted at the door to saying goodnight our experience was amazing. The food & service was first class. 5 Star.

Came here for my dad’s birthday and it was lovely. Great atmosphere, food was great and the grounds are stunning

Went for Sunday Lunch with family. Great food and service. Plenty of wine choices too

What an excellent cafe. Extremely welcoming, helpful staff. The food was good and prices were reasonable and i had to try the Turkish coffee to remind me of my holidays there. When I drank it I could definitely have been in turkey

A superb find. Beautiful large pub garden and fantastic food. Really friendly service.

Lovely room (snug but well designed and comfortable), excellent food and drink, friendly staff. Quiet, convenient and excellent value.

Takeaway so not a sit in place. Only reason atmosphere lost marks. Staff were engaging and friendly, food was as good as Whitby fish and chips.

Never give reviews, however my experience here is definitely worth one! Came here the other night; staff were welcoming and had a lovely menu. I had the beef & ale pie, which I can confidently say was the best pie I’ve ever had. The biscoff cheesecake was also amazing. First time coming here, and definitely won’t be the last!

Superb restaurant with friendly staff and the food is excellent. Simon is a great host
