The best restaurants serving British food in England

Amazing food and cocktails. Michael our server was great, very friendly and always making sure we had everything we needed.

We stopped in on a Tuesday late afternoon. There was only one table occupied so it was nice and quiet. We both had double scoop cones. There were loads of ice cream flavours to choose from. Yummy.

Absolutely loved this place. Came for a date night with my partner and couldn’t fault a thing. Service was 10/10 and the food was well presented and was very good. Will recommend to all my friends and family

A very original place in a Tudor house. I had the full English breakfast, which is super abundant and with which two people had breakfast. In addition, everything is very good and with great service. 16 euros with coffee or tea included....

Has a separate vegan section on the menu, with well planned dishes. The vegan cottage pie is beautiful, served with veggies. Chocolate & orange tart for dessert was also yummy. I liked the fact some thought had been put onto the vegan options…. It wasn’t just falafel which a lot of non vegan places resort to (I hate falafel now 😂) Friendly service and my dog was welcome

I just wanted to say thank you for accommodating us all on Saturday evening. Coming in a very large group with a lot of children having nothing booked they made us have a lovely experience and the food was beautiful! Lovely staff lovely place. I wish I lived here as I would love to come all the time! If I’m ever in the area again I would definitely call back for some very good food

This should be a four or even a five but I couldn't push myself further than a three star! The beer and wine choice was great, good service provided and very clean inside too. The menu was offering a good variety of food. Sunday roast! You can't beat a Sunday roast right? Those hot roast potatoes, a fair portion of beef? Nice hot Yorkshire pudding? Steaming veg? Plenty of gravy and extra roast potatoes? It wasn't quite there. It felt more like a small taster meal! Or a meal made for a small child then mistakenly passed to the adult! There were two roast potatoes! Yes two!! One small to medium sized and one small! The veg was Luke warm and the Yorkshire pudding was room temperature! Two thin slices of beef underneath it. It looked like more beef was there but I soon realised two slices it was! At a pound under twenty five pounds for the meal I was disappointed! There is definitely a decent chef in the kitchen but the lack of food for a traditional Sunday roast was shocking! I was still hungry after the meal which was a shame! I know it's tough in the catering world but please give us some value for our hard earned money!

Stopped off on our journey back home to Sussex, after a wonderful 5 nights in Wales. What a fabulous little find this place was. All of us had fish n chips with the homemade tartare sauce, and none of us were disappointed. The portions were huge, so huge that we were still full when we got home 4.5 hrs later. Will definitely be returning next year on our next Welsh adventure!

I considered whether or not to write this review but hopefully it can be used to inform future customer service. I booked this restaurant for my dad’s 80th birthday via the email booking system. The system asks for any special instructions which most do, so I put that it was my dad’s 80th and also asked if they could save him oysters or get some in (as that’s why we booked Brook’s). I also asked if they had (Campari) his favourite drink. I didn’t get a response so I called a few days before we were due to visit. I explained I hadn’t had any response to my booking request and was told ‘well you won’t have we don’t read them’. Which I thought was a missed opportunity and a bit slack. Anyway, I was assured that they would definitely have them but nothing was said about the Campari I’d mentioned (incidentally they did have it). Arrived on the Thursday at 7pm which was really quiet. We were shown to our table. The food. Oysters - amazing Bread and marmite butter - amazing. Cod masala (I think) - good Duck-very good Korean Cauliflower - best dish. Really tasty and well cooked. Give me a whole one. Ox heart - good We had a few other dishes but these are the ones that stood out. Service was ok but nothing outstanding. Spent £150 for 3 people (including 3 wines, 3 beers and of course 1 Campari!). We had a good night with some good food but customer service could definitely improve. Maybe start by just reading the email bookings, noting what’s in them and acting on them because there was no mention whatsoever of it being a special evening. No ‘congratulations’ on being 80. No ‘happy birthday’ written on dad’s plate for his dessert. These are simple touches that do make a difference and touches that other establishments are all over.

Our choice of the tea cottage for a light lunch turned out to be a great one. The menu isn’t long but it doesn’t need to be because there is plenty of choice and freshness and quick service are the hallmarks. Delightful, apart from the difficulty parking.

How can you mess up a Ploughman’s Lunch? Come to the D&C and see. Microwaved half baguette that went dry, crisp and stale immediately. Cheese was appalling. The worst type of cheap, tasteless, doughy cheddar. Pork pie that was missing the pork. We will not be returning.

Just great. Lovely food, great staff, fast delivery 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Such wonderful food, service and atmosphere. We enjoyed lunch for Truffle and Game Week the seven courses were all delicious and excellent value for money. We are so looking forward to coming back.

An absolute gem on the Holy Island! We stopped here to grab a sandwich, some cake, and a drink to take with us as we explored the island. The customer service was excellent, the owner was an absolute delight and super helpful. The food is delicious, and a really good selection too! And on top of all that they sell maps and books of the island as well, it really is a must visit and a one stop shop for everything you need on your island adventures!

The tastiest Sunday Roast we’ve had in a long time. A great traditional venue nicely decorated, great atmosphere and friendly / attentive staff. What more can you ask for. Highly recommended
