The best restaurants serving British food in England

At last, whilst on a short break, we found this place that serves quality, fresh, tasty food. Considering the quantity of eateries servicing the tourist trade we have been so disappointed until we stumbled on The Brown Horse. Price wise, the same as the rest but streets ahead in terms of value. Lovely old fashioned inn with lots of character. Friendly and attentive Staff.

Lovely busy restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the vegetable spring rolls and thai fish cakes as starters. We both had the duck on crispy noodles as our mains, which was excellent.

Stopped here whilst on a van journey across the UK. We picked this place largely in hopes of staying the night in the carpark and the staff were very welcome and happy for us to do this. We also picked this pub in particular as we saw there was Indian style cuisine on the menu and what we had was delicious. The Indian fish and chips were lovely, as was the chicken tikka masala. As soon as we entered the pub, the staff were lovely. Matt (I think was his name!) greeted us, kept the drinks flowing, had great recommendations and was easy to chat with. To summarise, anything we needed was provided, and we were left very happy. As a bonus, we didn't know they opened for breakfast, so had a great breakfast meal before heading south on our journey. I would drive through this way again just for the pub, so thanks very much!

Myself an my wife go out every other Thursday for a meal in local pubs. thr George was suggested to us by friends , but always considered it just a little too far to drive for an evening meal , How wrong I was. in a nutshell this pub rates as one of the best experiences w e have ever had. fromthe moment you alk through the door you are greeted with smiles from front of house. The young lady who looked after us tonight was the daughter of the landlord.her table manner was 10/10, seated us and then gave us plenty of time to settle in before returning for a drink order. she also took our food order in timely manner , which good as the menu is such a decision. never have I been to a pub with such a well flavoured menu of mouth watering combinations. mine was a smashed brisket burger , with goats cheese and chillijam -off the scale melt inyour mouth. my wife had hake on bacon matop top sh with cider and clam sauce, again outstanding- who makes upthese flavours , well actually the dad landlord chef, clearly an amazing palate this man posseses. in terms of pricethis was incredible. top end food youd expect in a london restaurant at a ridiculous price. 2 lg pinots 2 pints and 2 mains was 74 ( including the service which I topped further it was that good!) Bottom line : This is a superbly run family pub offering smiles and food that good youd be happy if you flew from scotland yet alone drive from Petworth. 12/10

Nicholson's pub. Tucked away but worth a visit.

First time at the pheasant inn and it won't be the last. Plenty of car park space.The Sunday lunch menu has a good variety of dishes which made it very difficult to pick up what we wanted. The staff is friendly (they are also dog friendly). The Sunday roast was delicious; lots of different vegg. The stuffing was eaten with the Yorkshire pudding and soaked in gravy... Yummy.

Had a great bowl of soup and coupla cups of coffee. Great soup, charming service. And if you're some north-country moron who won't pay with a card but insists on cash I suggest you go quietly about your business without leaving a decent hand-working bunch a bad review on that basis alone.

Almuerzo pre-navideño con amigos. Tengo que decir que no es nuestra elección habitual, que tal vez se quedaron un poco sorprendidos cuando dije fish and chips! La primera vez allí, pero me habían recomendado. No decepcionado. El restaurante estaba limpio, acogedor, encantador ambiente tranquilo. Excelente comida y servicio. Gran valor. ¡Otras opciones disponibles si no quieres pescado pero te lo estarías perdiendo! No dejes que el frente de la tienda de pescado y papas fritas te desanime.

Fantastic food and the staff were brilliant can't say a bad word about Paula Taz and Chris the owners need to hang on to them

Fantastic food with generous portions and reasonable price. Service from the staff was excellent very polite and professional. My recommendation would be the hunter chicken. Has to be one of the best in the Vale!

Great food , we went for the five course set menu , although a little heavy, but we fought through, and the end result was delighted. We were a little early , so it was a little quiet, but the service was fantastic. Thank you. Good wine too.

The food is nice and staff are friendly But the hygiene standards let the place down. Dogs are allowed which we don’t mind . But people with dogs letting them sit on the seats it’s disgusting one person had a two dogs sat them on the seats and but dog food and a bowl of water on seating. Where customers sit .saw more than one person do this .tables dirty and chairs desperately need recovering. .

Had a great meal. Our waitress, Issy, was very attentive, polite and engaging. It was a great atmosphere and by the time we left it was really buzzing!

I've had brunch here a few times and always enjoyed it. Today there were four of us: food & service were excellent. Highly recommend. Booking advised.

Great food, wonderful staff in a warm cosy environment. Such a shame the loo sit is still broken after so many months. Would never put me off going to this pub though.
