The best restaurants serving British food in England

We came to Penzance for a work trip, and used the hotel for dinner/breakfast. Staff were lovely, as were the rooms and food. Highly recommend. Will certainly be back!

Great food, really nicely cooked. You can eat outside if the sun's shining!

Excellent place to eat! Warm atmosphere and service. I had one the sea food bisque, which was a special. It was very tasty with fresh fish. Well worth a visit.

Excellent place. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, excellent food, tasty drinks. We had a peanut butter and choc shake - excellent. Both burgers were juicy, flavoursome and delish. The bacon and cheese loaded fries had amazing cheese sauce on that was addictive. Really enjoyed the food here and will be coming back.

Never had a bad meal here, it's always been fabulous.

Very disappointing visit overall - Made by Jonty has been on our list to try for a while but we have only ever been for coffees before and wanted to try out their brunch menu. Sadly, we won't be coming back again. The service wasn’t great—our waitress came to take drink orders, got halfway through, and then just walked off before taking the rest of the table’s. Not a huge deal in itself, but it kind of set the tone for the rest of the experience. There were also a missing ingredients from the items we ordered and no offer of alternatives, which was frustrating. I ordered the waffles and was really let down—they were clearly the pre-packaged Belgian ones that come pre-sugared, topped with a very sweet compote, chocolate sauce and cream. I’ve got a sweet tooth and usually go straight for the sugary options on a breakfast menu, but this was way too much—even I couldn’t eat it. Everyone at the table tried a bite and all had the same reaction—just overwhelmingly sweet and not in a good way. Sadly, I had to send them back because I genuinely did not think they were edible. Even if the flavour had been better, it’s hard to justify over £10 for store-bought waffles with some toppings thrown on. The rest of the food around the table was average at best—nothing terrible, but nothing to rave about. Overall, extremely underwhelming. I did speak to the owner and politely asked if there was any chance the waffle could be taken off the bill. I was totally understanding that he might say no, since I had ordered it—but the way it was handled was pretty poor. He was defensive and dismissive, which really put a dampener on the whole thing. I feel like there are much better ways to have that conversation with a customer. Sadly won't be returning for even a coffee anymore after the experience and disappointed it didn't live up to expectations after all the rave reviews on Google. Note post reply from Made by Jonty: Sadly, I am even more infuriated by my experience now, as the response from Jonty is simply not true. Firstly, I had only eaten around 10% of the dish and when we were asked if the food was ok my friend responded yes (because hers was fine) before I had chance to respond. I also never stated that it was unreasonable to decline removing the item from the bill. I fully understand that Jonty has a business to run (and I said this when politely asking for the item to be removed) but I had issue with the attitude with which he declined to remove it, and the quality of the item itself. The food was simply inedible, and respect and Integrity were missing from that interaction, that is where the issue lied.

Needed a spot to charge phone and ran across this place. Had a very nice milkshake. Very dog friendly. Planning to visit again

Great evening for my friend’s birthday, which was noticed by the staff. Our waiter Harry kindly gifted us a free dessert on the house to celebrate. The live music was also amazing.

Always busy, but we'll be worth the wait. Michael, the owner, is very social, too.

In area for a long weekend break, booked here for Sunday lunch, lovely pub, friendly chatty staff, food out quickly, even tho it was very busy... so recommend booking.. our food was lovely, defo return next time in area...

Orderd a couple of sandwiches which took about half an hour to arrive ,wasn’t particularly busy The bbq pulled beef sandwich was pulled beef drowned in a tangy sweet sugary bbq sauce from a bottle and warmed presumably in a microwave on small toasted bread with a salad garnish which had seen better days as the lettuce was going brown Two drinks and two sandwiches £45 .. I won’t be going back again

Lovely place, seriously amazing breakfast. Bedroom clean and cute with nice little bits of ephemera, bathroom sparkling, lots of nice little touches, comfy bar, family run, dog friendly, and I need to say it again - best breakfast ever. Thanks all, my wife and I will be back.

Had a family of six in for lunch. Food was excellent, price was good and service was above and beyond. Recommend.

We had a wonderful meal at the laughing fish for mother's day. The pub is cosy and has a great atmosphere with outdoor seating for the sunny weather. The staff were welcoming and friendly with brilliant service. The food was amazing with a very varied menu with lots of choices! We can't wait to return to try the Thai menu which looks delicious! Thanks for having us 😊

Bangers and mash were spot on. Very tasty! Service was wonderful as well.
