The best restaurants serving British food in England

I've eaten at this venue numerous times. The sandwiches are fine, hot food is a disaster and should be avoided. I should have taken my own advice yesterday. I last had a hot meal there about a year plus ago. I swore never to again, but gave in yesterday. Cod and chips (£15.95) and a lasagne (£14.25). The fish had clearly been frozen – nothing wrong with that – but then poorly cooked, resulting in a fishy stodge. The chips were overcooked – few were edible. Apparently, the lasagne was so-so. Whether it was the meal, but we've both spent more time in the bathroom than is usual, today. The experience wasn't worth £30.20. Stick to the sandwiches.

We had the perfect meal here to celebrate our anniversary (26 years, how have we done it, hahaha). We arrived and enjoyed a glass of sparkling wine and the padron peppers (they were amazing) while we considered what to have for dinner. We didn't feel rushed to order, and the service was excellent from the young members of waiting staff. I had the chicken & bacon pot pie with mash and my wife had the Pork dish. Both were exquisite 👌 We were sorry we didn't have dessert because tge option looked amazing. I really enjoyed my visit and i look forward to returning. I reckon this restaurant could offer a monthly Jazz evening with a set menu midweek, if the owners are reading this then please consider some events.

Brilliant and lovely pub. Super caring ladies serving us.

Great beer, lovely staff. Dog friendly

This place is always busy as a testament to their fabulous food. I ordered a jacket potato with cheese and coleslaw, quite a simple dish I thought. However, when it arrived it totally exceeded my expectations. It was presented very nicely with a fresh mixed salad, kimchi and rice too, altogether a lovely, tasty dish of food. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

Pleasant atmosphere. Good beer. Fabulous playlist in the background.

This is a lovely place...we had breakfast here...the food was all cooked fresh and the service was swift... it's quite a large place but feels quite intimate... spotlessly clean and very well run...we will return..

Although the food is good the reference to the bill on the receipt reference was "ginger sket biach" we will be forwarding this to the boss when they decided answer the phone as we sore this on our receipt after we got home .. my wife is very sad about this !!

My experience at Quayside Bar and Kitchen in Weymouth was not just disappointing due to the food, but also because of the poor customer service. I ordered the mushroom and spinach penne, which was absolutely flavorless with a sauce that was more like running water. When I raised my concerns with the manager, I was met with a dismissive attitude. She brought the dish back to my table, stating that no one had ever complained before, as if that invalidated my experience. The lack of concern for customer satisfaction was quite off-putting. A simple acknowledgment of the issue and a willingness to make it right would have gone a long way, but instead, I was made to feel as though my complaint was unwarranted. It's a real shame, as I was hoping for a pleasant dining experience, but both the food and service left much to be desired. I won’t be returning and cannot recommend this place.

Lovely environment and food! Had the pancakes and there were delicious. Staff were very welcoming and will be coming again

This is a beautiful restaurant. Service was very good and the food was fresh and tasty. We thought it was good value for money. It would have been nice to have my dinner on a plate rather than a chopping board though!

Absolutely gorgeous pie lunch with lovely home made chips. Huge portions! The best pie I’ve had- stuffed full of chunks of great quality chicken. Very friendly service. Would highly recommend!

All the food was really excellent. Lunchtime meal mid week so hard to assess ‘atmosphere’. Nice decor and a good size car park.

We visited for the first time last week. We were both excited at the prospect of rarebit (since removed from the menu) the bland rarebit was just one piece of toast, the rest of the plate was salad, however the salad dressing made it tasty. But £13 seriously?! On a positive lovely views to enjoy.

Cycled past many times looked v nice so decided to pop in for a drink 2 weeks ago. Barmaid v chatty good feel about the place lighting perfect candles on nice background music. You could tell the lady working cared about the business! After this visit we decided to go back last night for a meal. So different no smile or hello when walked in 2 team working just didn’t look happy actually looked like they had fallen out. Sat at table one of them brought menu then we chose a bottle of wine which was nice and came quick. We then sat there 15 mins before getting up and asking if we ordered at the bar or were they coming over.one if them came over and took the order, food came around 30 mins later. The food was ok but pies could have been bigger with more filling. After finishing nobody came and asked if we would like a dessert in the end I had to get up and ask for the bill. We then left feeling v disappointed all round. Such a nice first visit what happened why such a let down. With prices high and pub in a small village out of the way it needs to be good every time not every other for it to survive in this tough environment. Not sure if will come back again 🤔
