The best restaurants serving British food in England

Having eaten here 2 nights. The food standard was excellent both nights. The ambience in the restaurant would be better with more clients. The service on both evenings was attentive without being intrusive.. The trout small plate was delightful in taste and presentation. The lamb and duck dishes were cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. Both dishes were well balanced and filling. The cod dish was very filling and an unusual presentation of cod and crab. The meal was complete with great champagne and wine without a need for a pudding! Compliments to the kitchen brigade and waiting staff

I'll admit I am a difficult diner, gluten and dairy free and don't eat beef or pork. Menu did not have any chicken or veggie choices that weren't covered in breadcrumbs and the first person I was talking to wasn't at all helpful However. I was then offered a great vegetarian solution by another staff member and that was delicious and the service improved greatly. Would also like to comment on the atmosphere. Mostly good except for said first staff member was also hell bent on throwing every empty bottle in to the bottle bin with force that seemed excessive and was startling.

Visited for lunch as I fancied some chips. I really enjoyed the chips and I’d definitely visit again.

Amazing food, lovely bright pub/ restaurant with friendly staff. The Pie and deserts were amazing!

Last evening I asked for any gluten free drinks as I am coeliac 2 managers had no idea what was gluten containing drinks Not one member of staff had any idea and I was told I could drink any wine or spirit which is not the case Very rude and dismissive in front of other customers, unprofessional and ignorant

Very pleasant environment for meeting and eating with decent parking. The menu is comprehensive for a small establishment and the prices were very reasonable too. The staff were very helpful and the service excellent. Highly recommended!

Amazing restaurant, awful service. I hate to write a bad review as someone who works in hospitality but this was a particularly bad experience ! Today we headed to the beckfrord bottle shop for some dinner and a glass of wine. We were told that we had the table until 8pm which we expressed was completely fine ! However, the waitress (dark hair, glasses and checked grey overshirt) made us feel totally uncomfortable from the moment we arrived. We were rushed to order drink and then food, she was panicked almost from the moment we sat down. We asked for a minute so we could all discuss what we wanted to order and she was clearly very unimpressed at this. Everything seemed fine again and different members of staff brought us our food and were friendly and accommodating. Then it came to 7.40pm and the rushing and rudeness came back and worse. She asked us to pay the bill and we explained we’d already understood that we had to be done by 8 so could we enjoy our glasses of wine and pay at the end of the meal. She came back 2 minutes later and forced us to pay the bill with 20 minutes to go. This shouldn’t even have been on our mind, as we were trying to enjoy a nice meal. Why did there have to be such a stress on the time limit when being out for dinner ! As I mentioned above, I work in hospitality and I’m very used to annoying customers etc. However, we are a pretty laid back group of people. This was such a shame as the food and wine was amazing, really she ruined what could have been such a lovely evening! I think maybe the waitress needed a break ?

We decided to go into Mannetti’s because of how cosy it looked from the outside. It did not disappoint! We had the hot chocolate and the cinnamon cappuccino which were both delicious. Ask for hazelnut in your hot chocolate (game changer). The banana bread was delicious and the scramble eggs are delightful highly recommend. Will come and agin next time I am in York.

Top pub in the old Jesmond Railway Station. Hidden away and you wouldn’t know you’re right next to the city centre. Very nice atmosphere and pleasant staff with a good selection of beer.

Fabulous little place. Service was excellent, friendly and attentive. Drink selection was good. Wine prices were very good for a restaurant. We had the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Food was generally excellent. Black pudding and poached egg starter was gorgeous. Corned beef was lovely. Lost a star for the fish and chips. Chips, peas, batter all very good. The fish itself was very bland. Should use haddock ! Would come back any day of the week. A little gem.

When I placed the order it said between 10-25 minutes, within a couple minutes off my order being accepted it changed to nearly a full hour later then originally stated, just to top it off when it arrived it was quite cold, overall not impressed

Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely family Sunday lunch. We were all given a friendly welcome when we arrived which continued throughout the afternoon. The food was good and was matched by the service. It’s quite easy to see why there were a lot of regulars dining there. Would definitely recommend and hope to return one day soon.
