The best restaurants serving British food in England

We came for the Wednesday night quiz and a carvery. Both were excellent. And I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

First visit in several years. Came with a large group for Christmas meal and wasn't disappointed. Great service and tasty good

Great spot but dirty toilet and milk jug inside rim brown where milk has stuck and not cleaned properly. I had Dan’s BLT which was avocado, bacon and fried egg. Advocada was almost invisible, spread thinly like butter. Lemon drizzle cake was obviously the last piece and tasted stale. £35 for 2 sandwiches, cake and drinks. Will give this a miss in future. Very disappointing.

Was served by Chris, had a lovely Sunday Lunch & couldn’t have asked for better! Thank you!

I'm not a local, but whenever I'm in the area I make a beeline for Turner's! Fantastic battered plaice fillet with chips and mushy peas, a bread roll and a cuppa tea. The fish was fresh, hot and very tasty with nicely browned chips and sweet mushy peas. A lovely soft roll with butter made for a lovely chip butty. Good portion size, plenty for a normal appetite. A fresh brew to wash it down. Very clean inside and attentive service. The carrot cake was also delicious. Yum yum 😋

We arrived in Bolton and were headed to 'Spoons for lunch but as we passed Olympus it looked very inviting. Sorry 'Spoons but we went in. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and well priced. The atmosphere was good, very busy, and we even got a bit of the pianist who was excellent. Only downside was they didn't have the range of drinks that 'Spoons have, but we will definitely call in again when in Bolton.

We had a fabulous meal here tonight. All 3 of us agreed it was the best we’d had in ages. We were sat near the open kitchen and could see the care and attention that went in to all food. Each course looked and tasted fantastic. The serving staff were friendly and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

The food was absolutely delicious; the staff were really helpful and friendly; and we loved the rustic, but cosy, decor. We would definitely go again if we were in that part of London.

As a family we have used the regal fish and chip restaurant over many years, we visited again this week, the quality of the food was amazing and the portion size of the large fish and chips was huge especially the fish which over hung my plate on both sides. My daughter and her friend had Gluten Free fish and chips and chose to have haddock, they said the batter was light and crispy and the best Gluten Free fish and chips they had ever had, would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning.

We ordered a selection of savoury food for 17 people for a family celebration. Sam was very helpful and gave us a lovely choice of food from which to choose. The food was beautifully presented and we all agreed that it was delicious. Don't hesitate to use their outside catering services.

Had beef stew with roast potatoes and carrots plus a coffee. Potatoes hard, beef chewy, had to spit some out, gravy gloopy,

Me and my partner stayed in Room 4 on 10th July. It's very expensive for what you are getting. The room was absolutely boiling, had to open window wide open, and have a fan on all night and still too hot, so I barely slept. The room is also very dated and needs refurbished for the price. Dinner was nice but long wait and again overpriced for pub food. Breakfast was disappointing, coffee disgusting, bacon dry and tough, cold beans and black pudding tough as old boots.

Really lovely stop at the Watermill. We checked in and had a fab meal on the Thursday night. The local Halloween beer was excellent!! Room was lovely & the eves made it cosy😉. Lovely Cumbrian breakfast - lovely staff - we'll be back.

If you want a warm welcome, good service, good food , clean and authentic room you have it all at The Old Smithy Inn . We decided to go off the main road and found this gem. Well worth the visit and if you are lucky enough to be there on a Thursday ( every second week so check the date) there is live local folk music . Don’t miss this pub if you are near !

Four of us visited for late breakfast and had a really Lovely meal. Menu is good with lots of variety. Food was fresh, tasty and cooked well with decent portion sizes. It was busy when we visited but we didn’t struggle to get a table. In a good spot within Ambleside too so easy to get too from most car parks etc.
