The best restaurants serving British food in England

This is a gem of a spot, the owner and staff really know their food and drink, they use the very best ingredients and both food and drink is locally sourced wherever possible. The whole dining experience is first class, the atmosphere is relaxing and unhurried, then as an added bonus there is a great view of the sea, I thoroughly recommend.

Always had good food and coffee here. Wide choice available and lots to buy to take home. Staff friendly and close to the Abbey. The deli is amazing.

Good chippy, fish was thin and dry, chips were great

Absolutely amazing place! We were some friends in Manchester to watch the football and stopped by Brunswick and decided to get some breakfast. 3 of my friends chose the traditional "English breakfast" I myself chose "steak and eggs" it was so delicious! It was so delicious that we came back the next day for more food. This time 2 x "English breakfast" 1 x "chicken waffle" and 1 x "steak and eggs" again the food was top notch. The meat was cooked to perfection medium rare, the eggs and tomatoes had great flavor. The only small finger to put on our 2 food experiences at Brunswick was that the second time we were there they forgot "Heinz beans" at the one "English breakfast", but it was quickly fixed! Will definitely be back when I hit Manchester again! Thanks for the food.

Don't be put off by the greasy spoon look. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The service was quick and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed the salmon with gnocchi!

WARNING - official hygiene score 1/5 BUT sticker on window 5/5 - hmmm!

Good food although didn't realise the £5 main would be so small! Service was a let down as had to ask where our starter was, then two came out with the main course, despite having ordered it off the starter list. Also had to chase the dessert! Toilets were also unpleasant and in need of cleaning.

Ordered 2 breakfasts, eggs cooked as requested, food was hot and of fair quality. A much better experience than we have had in past ( food was cold)

We had a lovely lunch at the Commodore. The service was just the right mix of professional but friendly, not too pushy but not ignored either. We had a table with a lovely view which was helped by the day being sunny and warm. Our lunch was nicely presented and tasted great, I think it wasn't over priced compared to other pubs and restaurants in Instow but I think the Commodore has a nicer ambience. Definitely come back again, the only caveat is that the bar prices are maybe a bit higher than in the pub.

Review for Sunday Lunch - first time there and won’t be going back. We were overcharged for our meal (advertised price on the menu was cheaper than the one we paid) - unfortunately we only noticed after we paid. We spoke to the waiter about it, showed him the menu and he acknowledged that the price indeed is wrong. He went to speak to the manager and came back 15 minutes later to tell us that the menu price indeed is wrong and they will change the menus from now on. However they won’t be able to refund or do anything else to rectify the mistake. This was a very poorly handled situation on their behalf that left a bitter taste to our visit. Overall food quality: Starters: good Main: average - the meat portion was small, we had only two undercooked tiny potatoes, veggies were not enough for four people and the lamb was dry and chewy Dessert: lovely

Really great place. To start we didn’t realise the restaurant wasn’t open for another 20 min and we were welcomed inside to take a seat. Very accommodating with young children, nice high hairs, toddler cutlery, paper & crayons. Nice menu and good quality food all cooked very well. Steak perfectly. Set menu for kids was actually very good value. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

We had a most enjoyable Sunday lunch with family. Cannot fault the food, service or atmosphere. It's not a bad drink selection either. Will definitely call again.

We stumbled on this café on our arrival. We were looking for a late lunch venue. Number Forty Four, was warm and welcoming. We all chose various sandwiches and either wine or a slim beer. The staff were chatty and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch experience. We returned the following day for lunch and immediately booked a table for breakfast on our final day. Highly recommended

Worst pasty I’ve eve had - very dry pastry with not a lot of filling.

Great place. Lots of ciders. Local ones if you fancy trying some new and some commercial ones too. Food is simple and hot. If you like eating in Michelin star restaurants then forget it! If you are a normal person looking for sensible priced beer and grub then you will love it!
