The best restaurants serving British food in England

Ambiance top Service sometimes not good

Excellent service by Chelsea after an initial mixup with the booking system. Good choice of games for the bottomless darts and enjoyed it.

Only came for a beer as I’d filled up in Bonehead. A great selection of craft and local beer, super venue, light and welcoming. Great service and a lovely refuge from the city

There were six in my party and we all had a very enjoyable meal. There was Gluten Free options for my husband. It had a great atmosphere and the service was very good. We would definitely recommend eating here.

Fab cafe, the service was SO fast and accommodating. Breakfast bap was 10/10. Highly recommended.

Lovely setting, delicious food and friendly staff. A perfect finale to a long weekend away. Would definitely recommend.

Great pub. Great food, beers, wines and staff. The staff have been terrific from the first day I called to book. The Sunday roast was one of the best pub roasts we’ve had in a long while. Great ambience in the pub and a good beer and wine selection. Our party of four loved it so thank you and a Merry Christmas to all!

Tiny room, no refrigerator If it were Spain, it would be a maximum of 3 stars.

Always like coming here, food always top notch, big shout out to Heather, our server. She worked her socks off, and always had a smile .

Food was excellent and very well priced. We were a big table of 14 and for a small local restaurant they managed fabulously.

After a morning exploring the fells, we were more than ready for a hearty meal, and the Brit Inn in Elterwater did not disappoint. From the moment we stepped in, the service was friendly, and the staff genuinely cared about making our experience enjoyable—a rare find in many pubs in the Lakes these days. I wasn’t expecting much, as pub meals can be hit or miss, but this turned out to be a very tasty surprise. The food was clearly handmade, fresh, and full of flavor—no pre-packaged shortcuts here! My chicken, ham, and leek pie was a standout, served with proper chips and fresh veggies included (no need to order them separately!). My husband had the traditional sausage and mash, which was equally superb. Portion sizes were generous and filling, just what we needed after a long walk. The drink menu offered plenty of options, making it easy to find something to pair with our meals. Highly recommended if you're in the area, and we’ll definitely be back!

Cosy, atmospheric restaurant which we look forward to trying again on our next visit to Bowness. Staff are lovely and provide efficient, friendly service. Food and wine reasonably priced. We felt the meals were well presented and tasty - there was an issue with one of our mains but the owner was very receptive to our comments and arranged a small adjustment to our bill. A nice place, we would definitely recommend.

The restaurant is very nice and a lovely atmosphere, the staff were also very nice and attentive but the food was awful. We ordered the sharing Camembert to start which came with one slice of bread, the waitress ended up taking an almost full Camembert away as we had nothing to dip into it except two measly slices of bread. There was lots of dishes missing off the menu, we ordered the mixed game pie and short ribs and both unavailable which was really disappointing, there was also no blue cheese potatoes which came with a few of the other dishes we looked at ordering. We ended up ordering a burger and it was very basic, my husband couldn’t eat it as the bun was soaked in grease and had gone soggy. The cheese pie was very bland and had a very strong flour taste to it. This place isn’t cheap and therefore we were really disappointed with the lack of menu options available and the quality of food served to us.

Love this place -always excellent food.

We visited this restaurant 2 nights out of our 3 night stay in Scarborough. The food was amazing and the staff very good. Thoroughly recommend Fresh mussels, rocket and ham starter and Florios pizza. Will definitely return when we are next in Scarborough.
