The best restaurants serving British food in England

We went for Christmas lunch with friends. We had a great time, the pub was very festive and the tables laid out with decorations and crackers. All the staff were very friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. Well what can I say about the food other than it was top notch everything was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Yorkshires were sublime!!!! Best ever. Order the cheeseboard only if you have good appetite fantastic selection of cheeses. Thank you for fantastic Christmas lunch.

We had taramasalata with bread and calamari for.starter . Home made and tasty. Cod and chips to follow. The fish was good quality and fresh , crispy batter not greasy or soggy. Fresh greek salad on the side. Staff were friendly and professional.

The best burger out there. Must visit

We have a gift voucher for Purnells which is now closed. Unable to contact either by email or phone for a refund. Beware before ever buying a gift voucher from a Gl;ynn Purnell restaurant.

Booked a table to dine at 20:30 ,it was quiet but prefer to know we have a table.We like the moules as a main, with warm bread 🥖 and fries. Staff are allways welcoming and attentive, the vibe upstairs is charming, and particularly relaxed after the madness of New Year. Will return again, when in Paington 😘

It was absolutely brilliant and I can highly recommend it. They were incredibly busy but still found time to move a chair so that our dog could be out of the way when all the assigned dog friendly tables were already occupied. The carvery was excellent, too!

Great place for lunch. A lot on the menu could be adapted to be GF. Please note it is a shared fryer - so if you are coeliac then you can’t have fried items. Plenty of filling in the sandwiches & I was offered salad or new potatoes instead of chips with the sandwich

The new owners are friendly, professional with high standards. Nice to have our Pub back again 😀

I love this pub, we always head here whenever stopping in York. It has great little hideaways upstairs.

We had our Christmas party here and the whole experience was wonderful, the marquee was stunning, the food was lovely. Laura helped organise everything and was amazing. the bar staff Jack and Ryan were absolutely incredible brilliant service all night and so friendly. thank you from everyone at Kingspan for a fabulous night!!

Great food and reasonable service but for 2 adults and 2 young children the bill was around £600 and at that price point it just lacked the wow factor for us. The headline prices seem ok but by the time you add wine pairing service charge, mocktail for kids etc it felt we were paying London Michelin prices for an experience that fell a little short of that. It was a shame as we had come several times but were put off going back with prices having gone up.

Beautiful food and great service. The staff were all very friendly and couldn't do enough. Well worth the drive to get there.

We had a wonderful Christmas Day meal here on Wednesday. Been looking forward to it since we booked it. We weren’t disappointed. Everything was on point. Food was outstanding. Clean plates all round. The service was amazing. It was busy. We went to the second sitting which was sold out. The staff were like a well oiled machine. Attentive, quick without being rude, they were under pressure as it was so busy but each one knew what they had to do. Fantastic. Hats off to you all. We loved it xx

Very good - excellent service from Rafael

We visited the Stag at Offchurch for my husband’s birthday. We were greeted by a festive cosy pub with excellent and friendly staff. Some of our party were gluten free and the staff bent over backwards to make sure we were well catered for. The food was delicious and portions were a good size. All in all a wonderful way to spend and afternoon. Thank you to the team there for making our visit so memorable, we will be back!
