The best restaurants serving British food in England

Me & my partner go here quite alot the food is always excellent, I normally go for the Green Thai Curry which is one of the best I've tasted, & the desserts are to die for, tried other pubs but always come back here.

Stumbled across here for a sit down and drink but had a lovely brunch and would definitely be tempted back for lunch or later. Staff lovely and nice atmosphere and food

A very quiet pub when we went in, real ales were great and kept well. I did find out this pub is up for sale so maybe that is why the atmosphere was a bit lacklustre.

What a place...... we called in after the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday night, and the place was rocking. The atmosphere was incredible and the staff were even better. Even though it was so busy, the staff were friendly and so helpful. My only complaint was that it closed!!!! Matt has also been incredible as my wife lost her handbag, I contacted him and he went out of his way to find it for me. If you are in the area, please make sure you call in and experience this place, its brilliant. We hope to be back soon.

Can’t beat the Oxford breaky. Highly recommended

Fantastic traditional London cafe - varied menu at very reasonable prices!

Stopped for brunch on our after christmas wander . This place is very welcoming and was really busy , has seating inside and a couple outside . it was the sign out dude drew us in say soup and a sandwich to warm us up. So we ordered their leek and potato soup with a whole cheese toastie . a late and a pot of tea. it was lovely but quite a small bowl of soup to what you usually get in cafes and quite pricey it was a total of £34.50 . where we come from the soup and sarnie are a combined price not separate and usually only around 6.95 /7.95 each . so a cup of tea and. coffee would make it only around £22/23 . not £34.50 . but it was sherborne so quite a pricey area . having said that we would visit again as such a nice place to stop and rest a very warm cafe .

Lovely little pub and very friendly service 🍺 👍

My husband I visited Humphrey’s for our anniversary. The menu for vegetarian was so disappointing. The items on the menu were a mismatch , there was no specific cuisine type. I ordered the pea and mint soup as a starter. I had to ask for Salt and pepper as there was no seasoning . I couldn’t taste the mint and the soup was gritty. It was not smooth. Perhaps it was not meant to be, but seasoning should of been there. When the waitress asked how it was, I was honest and said it was not great . Her response “ ok” ! My main was chosen from their main menu, rather than the vegetarian menu ( as it was not enticing) I chose the mushroom risotto. The waiter told me that they can make the risotto vegetarian friendly (without Parmesan) . The dish arrived and Again no seasoning. I thought it was me being pickey, so I asked my husband to try abs he agreed , it was flavourless. I asked the waiter if they can add seasoning. He told me that due to no Parmesan the taste will be pretty much the same. You think being a fine dining restaurant they would have vegetarian alternatives to parmigiana cheese ( even I have in my fridge ). I then asked not to bother to remake with seasoning and thought maybe something from the vegetarian/ vegan menu will be better. I chose the spaghetti in tomato sauce. I was better of not ordering it and eating the bread. It was something a child would eat. If an Italian came To eat this , they would be appalled. I ate 1/4, out of politeness. I didn’t say anything, as at this point I just wanted to hurry up and leave. Final course chocolate fondant ... finally something that was great. I wish I had just gone straight to the dessert . When the bill came, I couldn’t believe that my tasteless meal cost £68. How can spaghetti in some tomato sauce cost £22. I have had some amazing simple pasta in fine dining Michelin star restaurant and willing to pay high price. But this, as I said is something a child would get at school. Also my husbands food was great , crab, prawns to start and halibut for main. That I understand to £68, but for vegetarian it was ridiculous. Even in Michelin star restaurant, the set menus or tasting veg menu is a little cheaper , so this place is just taking advantage. Vegetarian/ vegan food has come a long way and many chefs have learnt the art to take a vegetable and turn it into a incredible meal. This place has clearly not adopted this and think serving some spaghetti in tomato sauce with no seasoning is fine dining! Even other items on the veg menu didn’t look great. If you are vegetarian/vegan, do not eat here. Plus side, deserts were great and main menu was good ( according to my husband)

Stayed in flat above. Old tourist attraction leaflets in plastic wallets. An old folilo folder with more old crap in. Everything old and mostly unnecessary. No idea where to put rubbish bags when full. No welcome pack. Just stupid questions on initial phone call asking if we sleeping in separate rooms due to snoring or in the same room as a couple ???? And some old advice on Sat Nav that was not an issue and does NOT take you through Ford. Clearly some idiots have come this way. No politeness. Just moaning if you ring on a Sunday evening and the owner wants "quiet" time after only working 3 days a week. Yet was going to ring on the Monday morning. What when people are driving travelling to location??? ??? 🙄. NOT a quiet location as a local hanging out place even 7pm in the evening. With cars honking to each other. Delivery van honking every morning going next door. Motorbike next door starting in morning and returning 10pm at night. Who ever the imbecile is with heavy boots/footfalls that keeps on going into cafe when it is shut and slamming door every day. Neighbouring property busy and constant visitors. Ridiculous. Definitely would not stay again. Same idiot owner who asked stupid questions half way through holiday knocked on the door and asked us to move our vehicles into a field just for the customers over the weekend. Even though the cafe shuts at 4pm so no-one will be here. And we have paid for the parking as advertised on hoseasons. Only good points. Well equipped with necessities. Value for money.

In the Tap now. It's like after school club. The noise is horrendous 😫, cannot hear the conversation with friends above the racket from the 4 girls in here. Been in before no issue at all, but based on this afternoon won't be coming back

Went to cod pot yesterday and had pie and chips, the pie was really nice chips were freshly made. The staff were very friendly, father, son and daughter I think, will definitely be going back

Visited many times & always great food & service. Fully recommend.

Amazing Festive Sunday lunch today. I had the nut toast which was scrumptious and my partner had the pork loin dinner which included his favourite- crispy crackling. Vegetables were cooked to perfection and the Yorkshire puddings were the best I’ve had outside of Yorkshire! Staff are super friendly and helpful and the fire was roaring which kept us feeling cosy. We keep coming back and we will definitely go back again. Thank you for a fantastic lunch today.

One of the best veggie breakfasts ever; including halloumi, smashed avocado, a perfect poached egg and more. Will definitely go again soon.
