The best restaurants serving British food in England

We visited for new year's eve and we were so disappointed. I've seen people recommend this place time and time again & with the £50pp price tag on the 3 course menu we expected good things. From start to finish it was poor. It took over 10 minutes for someone to come and take a drink order and then they wanted food orders at the same time (all 3 courses). We ordered tap water which never arrived. The food came out really quick so we felt quite rushed. Not enough time between courses. When the food did arrive it was poor quality, the meat was chewy & fatty and portions were small for the hefty price tag. The menu wasn't even the same as the one advertised online. After our desserts we still had drinks to finish, our booking said that we would have 2 hours on the table on it however, 1 hour 15 minutes after arriving we were asked to move to the bar with our drinks because they needed the table (hey had clearly over booked). The bar was far too busy to even stand in so we had to stand in a corner and finish our drinks. At the start we asked to put our coats on the hangers and they were piled on top of so much that it took us 10 minutes to find them and the help of a staff member with their phone torch. The whole place is so cramped, there's barely any room to move around. Music was blaring, more like a club than a restaurant, we couldn't hear each other talk. Such a disappointing experience, our first time visiting, we won't be back that's for sure.

Having had a really enjoyable visit with my parents last year we returned on a Sunday evening. Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our meals and received excellent service. I had a burger again which was cooked nicely and had great flavours. The bun was a bit dry though. I had it with truffle parmesan fries and they were great. My Mum had mixed grill hanging kebab. All really good quality meats. She swapped fries for a portion of garlic broccoli. My Dad opted for the roast again and that was also fantastic. Clean plates all round.

The staff were really friendly the steak was beautiful couldn’t fault it and would recommend. They even helped with dietary needs

I come here every week for a carvery, food is always hot, good quality and plenty of variety. Excellent service too. Highly recommended.

The family Fisk supper on Friday night was incredible! Proper tasty and generous portion. This take out was enjoyed by all! Ding Dong 5 star!

Been here a few times with the missus, always excellent service and food and recommendations from the Manager on duty ,we will be back again,,the best fish and chips Nottingham has to offer without a doubt,

Tuvimos el mejor servicio y la comida era deliciosa. Tuvimos un poco de espera para nuestro plato principal, pero esto fue visto antes de que lo señaláramos y fue rectificado inmediatamente. Sin duda lo volvería a visitar.

Delicious. Great staff. Proves British cuisine can be among the best

3 of us called last night for dinner, and all had the cod, which was delicious a good sized portion of very thick white flakey fish, absolutely no issue with the food, the staff were lovely but the spoiler was the price of the drinks £6.70 for a pint of John Smith ! £4.29 for a 330 ml bottle of 0% larger and a bottle of coke £3.25 . You are seriously having a laugh. I expect to pay a little more than bar prices but that is ridiculous. If we had gone to Trencher which was our other choice for the evening the beer would have been £2 pint cheaper and the alcohol free larger £1 .29 cheaper . Unfortunately we won’t return Trenchers next time .

We had a lovely family lunch on Sunday 15 December. First visit to the Bistro and we would definitely like to return. The vegetarian roast was delicious - and the children’s menu went down well too. All food served nice and hot and with friendly service. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

We regularly visit the CB parsons pig. Ever time we are greeted warmly. The service is always attentive even when they are really busy. The food is consistently good, specials are great. You can take your leftovers home without feeling guilty. Highly recommend

Friendly staff, however service is erratic and random. Several dishes had sold out even at 7:30pm on a Tuesday evening. Pretty much none of the (over-priced) main courses came with vegetables and incredibly there were no vegetables as sides (other than three types of chips)! Only option was a salad which looked as if it had been purchased from Tesco several days previously. This is a great location and has great potential if only they could improve the menu, the service, the pricing and pretty much the whole experience!

We came as a family with my elderly parents, dad in a wheelchair. The staff were excellent and accommodating. The food was sensational. 3 courses for 4 people 267 with drinks. Portions are good and every mouthful was a delight. Thank you

Nice pub this next to the canal, lots of room and a good atmosphere. A good selection of beers too, with Christmas tipples like mulled wine and ciders too. We had a couple of bar snacks and had the best onion rings In a very very long time, looking forward to coming back and trying other menu items!

Recommend the roast Christmas lunch - December 2024.
