The best restaurants serving British food in England

Went there for Christmas Dinner, food service were great. Enjoy the calamari a lot, food portion is huge as well

Was there 5/12 for my 50th. A singer was performing that night and she was amazing. The venue itself was inviting, warm and all the staff were very welcoming and attentive. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning in the near future. We didn't eat there so cannot comment on the food (although service seemed prompt with the food itself smelling delicious).

Out & about I came across The Muddiford Inn decided to pop in for a light bite, ended up having a 3 course meal which was heavenly & enjoyed absolutely every part of it, the food has so much flavour and was beautifully presented. The pub is clean & nicely decorated with a lovely warm feel to it. Apparently a Family run business the young lady serving was so polite and professional & made the experience so delightful. Would highly recommend to any one in the area.

The food was Very Good in fact we loved it staff Grate The room was lovely Till the fans from the kitchen started up then 😩😭

Loved the atmosphere, the service and the food was exceptional.

We were in need of a decent meal and the staff here were extremely accommodating even though we hadn't booked, as we were early there was no problem fitting us in. We has starters with some rustic bread ad butter that was superb, I had breaded whitebait and my partner had Carrot & Cumin soup which was very tasty and hearty. The main courses were varied and we selected the Fillet of Sea Bass and the local Pork Belly, served with seasonal veg. and both had delicious sauces, really hard to better. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The clever idea of the outside cabins for those guests visiting with dogs has been a success as they are quite cosy at the rer of the restaurant. No doubt we'll be back again when we return to Southwold.

What a gem. You must visit Peacocks in Ely. It have a wonderful host. He make me very welcome and a pleasure to meet. I will certainly be back.

Had to wait over an hour for our food. The waitress came over after 50 minutes and told one of the party that they would have to change their coeliac order. The steak on the steak frites was fatty and chewy. The brussel sprouts were like rocks and impossible to cut. Has the venue had a change of chef? Felt sorry for the waitress who was left in a difficult situation.

Thought we would give this place a try as we saw it when coming back from Lodore Falls a few weeks ago and thought location was good. Booked Sunday lunch for 2 adults and 2 teenagers as a pre-Christmas family lunch out. On arrival no one greeted us and we waited in line at the bar to be told, not shown to, which one our table was and to come back to the bar to order. This is fine but at hotel restaurant I would expect staff to come and take our order - main course Sunday lunch £24.95, burgers the kids had £21.95 so not cheap. Inn on the Lake Glenridding for example is less expensive and far superior in location, class, service and food quality. I ordered roast beef and when it arrived I actually got lamb - no problem mistakes happen - but it did mean i had to wait for it to be replaced whilst the rest of my family ate their meals. When beef arrived it was dried out, as if heated under a grill. No one checked on us during the meal but asked if everything was ok when they came to clear. I told them my beef wasn't great - half of it uneaten - and they said i should have told them and they would have replaced. Fine, but bearing in mind i had already waited for it to be replaced once and eaten after others had finished i didn't really want to go for round 3. My meal was removed from the bill but the experience for a family lunch out was spoilt. We were in the restaurant area that doesn't allow dogs but close to the open doors to the dog friendly area - I love dogs but the smell coming through wasn't pleasant from time to time, especially when eating. Generally i think it is expensive and disappointing for what it is, pub type service and food at restaurant prices. £9.50 for puddings for example is excessive for the environment. A shame as location is great to stop for lunch if walking around Derwentwater but I wouldn't recommend based on pour experience today. As a final comment the staff did seem genuinely apologetic.

Great Sunday lunch food excellent and swift service. Cosy atmosphere and staff friendly and helpful it's definitely worth a visit.

WOW WOW WOW just had the most amazing dinner I had the lamb and my husband had the sirloin steak both of which were cooked to perfection. The portions are very generous and came out piping hot

Fish and chips absolutely tasty. Best fish and chips around Barnsley.

My sons went and said the food is delicious however the staff just stood there and talked and took 18mins to make 2 burgers some chips and some hashbrowns

As locals who drink in The Standard every week we've just encountered some 'friends of the owners' who were appalling. Verbally abused my Husband and Dad. I will never visit this place again. The barman had to apologise. Disgusting.

Mrs likes it here,overpriced though, I had salmon with four massive chips for 12 quid and the salmon was burnt,don't waste your time with the breakfast, pale sausages and rock solid poached eggs,swerve like the plague
