The best restaurants serving British food in England

It was the perfect family day out lunch! I might be focus on the wrong thing: the chips and bread came with the mussels were the best I have ever had! Our 7 year old son enjoyed his fish and chip! The home made spotted dick was irresistible!

We have eaten here before but have only ever sat outside for drinks/snacks. On this occasion we sat indoors for a full cooked meal at lunchtime. The internal decor was pleasant and the ambiance excellent. Despite being almost full there was a very quiet and refined atmosphere. The menu was varied, interesting and most mains were around £15. Everything we had was delicious and well cooked. The shepherds pie was exceptionally good - the best I’ve ever had. Our only criticism would be the rather too ’al dente’ veg. The service was exemplary and we will definitely return.

The place is great for cocktails, pre dinner drinks and the food amazing. We had a buffet for a funeral party of around 35 and the food was hot, varied and we could also swop what we didn’t like for something else and it was no trouble to them at all..

Great service. Food really tasty. Cosy atmosphere. Just perfect!

Best place I have been comfortable and friendly hope it re-opens soon

Restaurant review only.. We booked for a birthday meal, the service initially was quite good, the serving staff where helpful and timely... The food on the other hand was not very good at all. Firstly I was served a coffee with a biscuit which had a hair sticking out of it. We made the server aware and it was it was rectified with a fresh cookie. We then ordered their Roast carvery option, this wasn't very nice, the vegetables where dried and had been left too long and the roast meat was far too tough to cut never mind chew. The portions of chips where obviously re heated as the where very dark and burnt. We did mention it to and where charged for a small carvery instead of a large... Whole thing was disappointing as we went for a birthday meal... We won't going again.

Fantastic steak, melt in the mouth.

Well not surprised it was packed for valentines weekend and we managed to get a room for the night. The accommodation was beautiful and comfortable and the food served here was amazing. Just such a delightful place to stay and have a drink. Very relaxing and welcoming staff, all very clearly so busy and credit to their hard work, it’s a beautiful place to spend any amount to f time.

A great atmosphere, lovely staff and the pancakes were really good. We were served by Michael and he was a lovely person made us feel special , very bubbly too :)

This small cafe really surprised me, food was fantastic and waitress was friendly. Jacket potato looked a bit different than usually, but it was delicious and what a astonishing vegetable soup. Must try! Ham in a sandwich was flavorful, perfect I might say!

Great little restaurant with a really nice menu. There are other things available alongside fish and the food was good and service is always friendly. Great garden area in the summer overlooking the sea. Lovely little find.

terrible. first of all whys there grapes in a salad? why is there MORE grapes than tomatos? the tomatos are vile, couldnt cut through the jacket potato. tuna was discusting was waiting 40 mins and everyone who came in after us got served first they even had there puddings before we got our lunch

Great freshly cooked gf fish and chips no preordering required we just took our place in queue. Fish in gf batter really crispy both cod and haddock excellent. Chips fine would recommend

Used to be amazing, really tasty pasties. Now when we order them for delivery, the cheese pasties are just pure pepper. There's so much pepper in them that the inside is dark and all you can taste is pepper! It burns your mouth. There's no taste of cheese or anything now. Avoid them. Used to be great and now they're basically inedible. Maybe they're just hiding a lack of good ingredients and cheese with pepper so we don't notice. Complete waste of a lot of money!

Danish pastry completely sealed in plastic. It was really awful so checked packaging. They make them and seal them for a 3 day shelf life, so no fresh bakery produce here, you are as well with a mass-produced supermarket one. Checking the ingredients, they aren't even Danish pastry ingredients. The "superdough" part of the ingredients was just a chemical filled anomaly of things that shouldn't be there. That is not a Danish Pastry. And why all those unnecessary ingredients in the icing? Icing sugar and water would suffice. Interestingly, there is no flour listed on the ingredients for the superdough so I doubt it is a legal list. That is quite a serious omission! I attach a photo of the ingredients list. Philps comment is that they do mention flour later under possible allergens
