The best restaurants serving British food in England

I've been in here a few months and the food was lovely. However, this time it wasn't anywhere near as nice. I ordered the large cod and chips and dad got cod and chips special, that included peas and a cup of tea and it was £3 cheaper than the large cod. So you would expect it to be smaller. But no, his fish and chips were larger than mine! Mine was very thin. Also I don't think the fish I had was even cod. The flesh was very soft, not firm at all and it didn't have any taste to it. My dad's fish seemed totally different to mine. I really hope it isn't going downhill as it was lovely last time I went in. But sadly this time it wasn't very nice.

This is definitely the best place to eat in Westward Ho ! Amazing carvery with lots of lovely fresh vegetables. Good choice of other meals on the menu and a very impressive dessert trolly. Good service, clean, comfortable and very friendly.

Greeted by Jacob, we had arrived 30 mins early after a 50 mile drive having given extra time due to the bad weather. Anyhow it wasn’t a problem and we were given a booth table 3 adults and one dog. Drinks order taken which arrived promptly along with the bowl of water for the dog thanks Jacob always on the ball. Food orders taken by a lovely waitress missed her name, starters of chicken wings, and lamb kofta kebab absolutely delicious. For mains we had 2 chicken Sunday Roasts and a Pork Sunday Roast, very delicious, couple of things that could be improved not with the food but the way it’s presented, firstly all the vegetables in one bowl for 3 diners, would be far better with personal bowls with your veg especially when the bowl isn’t a sectioned bowl, and the gravy was already on the plate but no gravy for the fabulous Yorkshire pudding, a pot of gravy would make all the difference, 9/10 would have been 10/10 if the vegetables would have been presented better along with extra gravy. Thanks to all the lovely staff, everyone was smiling, polite and helpful.

The staff are great. They accommodated our new baby and made sure we had room for the pram. The food is the best quality whenever we come. Every time we come it makes me think why we didn't eat there before this year!.

Had a Christmas cocktail which was superb although on the small size. The service was attentive and professional.

What a find! This has been the loveliest meal we have had this year. The food is beautiful, my husband had haddock and loved it. I had rib of beef and it was just delightful some of the best food I have had. The landlord was super lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The staff were lovely and attentive but not over bearing. The menu gives lots of choice and there is a brilliant gin menu. They are dog friendly too so we all had a wonderful time- thank you. We have booked up for Sunday lunch when we are next on holiday over here. I couldn’t recommend this place enough

Just a quick shout out to the Cliff house. Usually put a review on every now and then for the Cliff house. Ate here last week and yet again exceptional service, great choice of drinks and good menu. Had a chateaubriand which was cooked perfectly. Price is ok for location. Thoroughly enjoyable

Stayed here for one night as a last minute break,this was one of only a few places left available in the lakes area at the time,at 1st i thought it was gonna be too far out of the way for anything but im so pleased we stayed there. The place is in a lovely little village and the pub itslef is very cozy with a log burner and a real retro bar full of character,the staff work very hard and nothing was any trouble esp the scotch guy,he never stopped. I wouldnt hesitate to book again,we had a great night and returned home feeling recharged and refreshed.

We visited today for afternoon tea as a little pre Christmas treat and we weren’t disappointed. The food was amazing and Jason was extremely funny & informative. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who was thinking about coming here definitely 10/10

What a fabulous pub. The place is gorgeous, the staff (especially the incredibly patient Kira!) are wonderful. I had the best pie I think I have ever eaten and my husband had the delicious sausages. Louis the dog was very appreciative of the titbits we shared with him!

I booked Xmas lunch for 9 people,exceptional service at the table ,excellent food,a huge thank you to all at the Cart & Horses

Loose leaf tea & had to ask for tea strainer. Ordered toast which came without any knives or serviettes. Instead of having a leisurely tea & toast I was up & down asking for things that should automatically been placed on the table. Very disappointing as have been here before & was looking forward to it.

Superb Italian food,freshly cooked by a very dedicated,talented local Chef. The Resturant may be small with room for only a limited number of Customers but well worth the wait.

Gone downhill over the last year or so. Card only and now looking to ban dogs. Atmosphere similar to a funeral. Soon they will ban laughing and only allow people with short blue hair in. Go woke, go broke.

My husband and I decided to pop here for a drink and snack as when we visited previously ( last year) we found them very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, not this time. The young girl serving us was very sullen throughout. No manners to speak of and at one point very rude. Sadly we won't be returning.
