The best restaurants serving British food in England

Needed a couple of things real quick. Store was clean and the staff were friendly.

Wanted to like this place more but the food is only okay - and some of it is terribly bad value, though weirdly some other dishes are quite cheap .. it's quite a nice dining room, staff and service are good but the food is mainly mediocre and some dishes are very expensive ( for example the cured meat board is actually a plate with about 10 small slices of Salami/Bresaola priced at £17!) ... It's not a bad spot, but I was expecting a bit more

For every cyclist. Welcoming cafe with great coffee and buns.

Brilliant afternoon tea in a first class compartment on a lovely railway carriage, beautiful food and a very pleasant experience highly recommend 👍

Beautiful food, carefully prepared, skilled presentation, fresh quality ingredients, superb attention to detail, delicious flavours, relaxing atmosphere, attentive staff. Try the tapas - it is all amazing. Best restaurant in Burton and the surrounding area. Thank you !

Fantastic roast lamb Sunday lunch!

What a great lunch stop! The steak and ale pie with mash and veg was out of this world as was the broccoli and Stilton soup… the bread was awful, stale and freezer burnt… the server was very apologetic about it… would def go back here again! Mmmm sorry no photos only took video for YouTube and it doesn’t allow me to upload video!

Sunday roast worth travelling for - beef cooked as it should be with all the trimmings. Sami’s a great host - we’ll be back.

Fantastic food in a warm friendly pub, I think they had 3 real ales on too. I believe it's closed at the moment but I'd definitely visit again when it's back open.

The atmosphere at Crowded House Restaurant in Bury is absolutely wonderful. The interior design is modern and tasteful, creating a cozy yet elegant vibe that makes it a fantastic spot to unwind. The decor strikes a perfect balance between contemporary and inviting, and it’s clear that a lot of thought has been put into the details. The seating is well-spaced and comfortable, allowing you to relax and enjoy your time without feeling cramped, even when the restaurant is busy. The lighting is warm and soothing, which adds to the relaxing ambiance and makes it an ideal place for catching up with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying a quiet meal with loved ones. As for the food, it was decent with a reasonable variety on the menu. While it didn’t particularly stand out as exceptional, it was still enjoyable and complemented the overall experience. The presentation of the dishes was neat and visually appealing, which shows the effort put into the dining experience. What truly makes this place worth visiting is the environment. From the decor to the seating arrangements, it’s evident that the restaurant prioritizes customer comfort and a great atmosphere. Whether you’re stopping by for a meal or just drinks, it’s a spot I’d recommend if you appreciate good vibes, a cozy setting, and a welcoming atmosphere.

We found this cafe after looking at a job in Stafford. On first seeing the name, I thought it would be a basic “soup kitchen” with not much choice. How wrong I was. On entering we were greeted by a lovely gentleman who showed us to our table. The waitresses were all traditionally dressed in black with white aprons. The menu had plenty of different choices including plenty of vegetarian options. We had the crispy potato skins with mushrooms and cheese, delicious with plenty of cheese. I had the vegetarian flan with proper chips and salad, two had the cheese and mushroom omelette with chips and beans and the other had jacket potato with bacon and cheese. It was all well presented and plenty of it. We decided to have a look at the dessert menu and were not disappointed. I had the fruit scone which was proper homemade and a decent size, the others had cheesecake, treacle tart with custard and lemon meringue pie, they said it was the best meringue they’d had, crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle, not dry. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The place was very busy for a Tuesday lunchtime with a mixture of old, young and families. I would recommend this place and would return if we come back to Stafford.

A little gem! Myself and family enjoyed breakfast here while visiting the area for an event. I am vegan and had the Vegan breakfast. This breakfast had no "fake" meats which was extremely refreshing. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection and it was the most delicious vegan breakfast I've ever had! The rest of my family loved their meals too - and all noted how perfectly the eggs were cooked. Highly recommend! No photos as we ate it all so quickly.

Always a great place to go, staff great, food great!!! Aimee the manager is always accommodating And nothing is to much trouble, highly recommend going xx

Lovely time in grand Central with Tracy & malcolm again after not seen for a while.peter & denise from wolverhampton

The food here is really good, with a nice variety of dishes. Service was friendly, but a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, a solid choice for a casual meal with friends. Worth a visit!
