The best restaurants serving British food in England

Another great night in the restaurant, fabulous food. A big thank you to Dan, Gennie and Paul for being attentive and ensuring everything was as it should be. As always nothing is too much trouble for these hosts. Thank you to all the staff.

We sat outside as inside was too busy for 4 people and a dog at 11am Sunday. Drinks came fairly soon but we waited a fair while for the food. When it came, there had been a mix up on the order and an item was missing from 2 meals. The mistake was quickly corrected at the Boat Yard's cost, by way of apology. However, we did witness someone else's order getting mixed up as well - make a note of what you ordered. Staff were lovely and friendly and the food was very tasty. The coffee was nice, too.

Great food, very reasonable, nice keg choice!

Great value for money. Staff friendly. Fantastic for our family with 2 young children. They could eat inside the play area so once they’d finished we could sit and eat our meals while they went off to play. We wanted to visit to have a meal and use the play area. Gutted they have closed to the public. I can’t fathom why brewers have made the decision to open to premier inn customers only. Surely they will lose a lot of money by doing this. We’ve visited many a time for the breakfasts dinners and carvery’s. Talked to many of the other guests that have said the visit regularly every week and now loyal locals are not welcome. I personally think this is a disgusting decision to have made and can’t understand the logic of it at all!!!

Hearty food with wonderful service.

Came here with a tiny baby, the food was great but staff were outstanding, couldn’t have done more to help us out. I recommend it to mums at all the baby groups!

We went for Sunday lunch yesterday for a big birthday celebration. We had a booking at 2pm. We arrived promptly and were asked to wait at the bar. We were still there 45 minutes later and had to keep chasing up the table. We then sat down and waited a further 15 minutes as no-one come over. We eventually found a waitress and made the orders. The food was nice and generous portions, again after dinner the plates weren't cleared away we had to ask and had to ask again for them to take desert orders. There was no-one to ask for drinks or a jug of water. On arrival we gave the staff a cake which we wanted brought out after the meal, we waited a long time for them to bring out even after asking. The staff were unfriendly and service was slow and painful

We stayed here for an away day and overall it was very good. The food is excellent with the chef, ex Ledbury, Harwood Arms and Woodsman Stratford, overseeing a great locally sourced menu with a great feel. The wine list is broad but a bit expensive with some gems. Our room, the Cuckoo’s Den, is large and comfy with a great view. The only downsides were no hot water the day we arrived and the common areas are limited with only one set of sofas by a lovely fire. Without that it would be a 5. A place to come and use as a base to get our and about not to cost up in - a challenge when the weather is so bad. But if you want a base for the Cotswolds it would be hard to beat. The staff can’t do enough for you.

Nice food, my son always enjoys it when we are in dymchurch. Sometimes there's a long wait and the staff are rude and a bit divy

Good service and good food. Relaxing with family

Had lunch today , no room in main building , but went across the yard to a separate room , fine no issues , but when entering the building people had got there coats on sitting at the tables , touched a radiator and it was cold , not a great start . Staff were obviously busy , waited twenty minutes for someone to come to us , we eventually got a beer and ordered food . Food came ( a festive burger) all good , really tasty , finished food , waited fifteen minutes thought someone would come to offer another drink or a desert , or even pay the bill , we eventually got up and paid the bill at the bar . The least I would expect when paying top end money for lunch , would be some decent service and to be warm . Would not stop me going again food was fine .

Popped in whilst walking the dog earlier .great little spot to sit in the sun next to the river and enjoy a pint. Great walks either way. Drinks averagely priced with a good range . We will be back

We recently visited this pub restaurant and were shocked at how expensive it was for what we got. The food was decent, but certainly not worth the high prices. What really frustrated us was the unexpected charges that appeared on our bill—things we hadn’t ordered or weren’t clearly mentioned. If you do eat here, make sure to carefully check your receipt before paying. It felt like they were hoping we wouldn’t notice. Overall, not a great experience, and we won’t be rushing back.

Hermosa comida y gran servicio , tenía el especial de mariscos, gambas , cangrejo y salmón ahumado en abundancia, ensalada encantadora y una olla de Marie Rose en el lado más una rebanada de pan y mantequilla. Es como un día impresionante y la vista es increíble, el blanco plano es uno de los favoritos en la zona.

sadly both meals went back mine was gammon and was so dry and chewy and the wifes was chicken kiev with hardly any garlic butter filling , again so dry . so disappointing as this was my birthday meal out . we go quite a lot here BUT will be giving a wide berth from now on ....
