The best restaurants serving British food in England

Only been here during the christmas markets so love the christmas atmosphere and decorations. Only had drinks so can't comment on the food, although some of the dishes being served looked great.

This is a lovely little café with very reasonably priced, generous portions, freshly cooked and (important for me) clearly labelled gluten free options and a kids menu with the simple options kids enjoy. All of us enjoyed our food and whilst the gluten free batter wasn't anything special, the fish was a generous portion and beautifully flavourful and well cooked so this was easily forgiven. The food isn't fancy but it's well done and tasty and doesn't cost a fortune, none if had any complaints. A great place to stop for lunch or brunch, I think the only thing that was a little tricky was fitting around the small tables but given its small size and popularity, you can see why the tables were small. We got there relatively early for our cooked lunch and were waiting about 20 minutes - reasonable as it's freshly cooked and I am gluten free - I think if it was really busy cooked food might take longer? Worth it though.

The hotel is beautiful but we have just eaten in the sister hotel Bedrethun Steps and it was extremely disappointing so has tarnished our whole trip. All three courses of the set restaurant meal were pretentious and not particularly nice so we both felt that we were eating for the sake of it and had to order chips to bulk up the offering Wish we had gone to the pub for quarter of the price.

Food was excellent, staff was friendly, and the beef was amazing! The brownie was excellent.

Great little cafe, with some gluten free cakes too (and not just the usual brownie). Plenty of dairy alternatives available. Portions are generous and the stuff was friendly and welcoming. I would come back again.

Just what a pub used to be,serving beer and people having conversations without the loud drone of sports echoing in your ears. Obviously Saturday nights , when the students are in, is not the same however we were all young once!

Myself and 13 members of my family attended for my graduation celebration meal. The staff were extremely welcoming and pleasant and had dressed the area with decorations for our celebration. The food was absolutely beautiful, all who attended stated how lovely it was. Everything was perfect and I cannot thank the team enough for making the night so wonderful. We will definitely return!

Most expensive Cornish pasty for £8 while it is £4.5 in other shops around. It was no better than supermarket ones.

The carvery was amazing all fresh ingredients, the staff were very friendly and catered to all our needs,the venue is very well managed and we look forward to visiting again soon.

A great place to hang out and watch sport (we watch rugger) on the TVs. Plus they have very good, and reasonably priced pies. All good then

Quality food and service. Love going there for food and drink. Buetiful as always.

Excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere

Good service ,polite friendly excellent choice of food well cooked and presented. Not the cheapest place around but you certainly get what rou pay for. Like the fact that many of the dishes come with three types of fresh vegetables and there's is plenty of i. The mash is excellent especially with the added spring onion ( you get a choice with the mash. Had the home made shepherds pie today excellent . Will return again soon.

We my daughter and I went in for a lunchtime snack. We both had soup and bread. The restaurant was busy and very friendly,one of the ladies gave us a lot of useful information.

Very disappointed. Arrived Monday evening for a 4 night stay for work. When I was shown to my room it was instantly obvious the heating had not been on. It's mild for the time of year but it's late autumn so would expect a little warmth. The member of staff said they would need to override the heating to turn it on. So I sat tight for about 15 minutes, still no warmth to the radiators. I work outside so fortunately I was dressed warmly. I returned to the reception twice but clearly unable to rectify the heating. I understand that sometimes things go wrong but it's the way you deal with the problem. The extent of this was "I've done what I can" obviously expecting this would a satisfactory resolution. I stay away for work on a regular basis and I had a similar situation which was resolved when they brought a heater to my room and the offer of breakfast in the morning. I was made to feel like I shouldn't be continuing with the issue. I decided to leave as the room was just too cold. Very poor experience considering this is hospitality.
