The best restaurants serving British food in England

Went for a wine tasting evening but then stayed on for a meal. Wine tasting was well organised and very informative. We tried five different wines and were given information about the wine from a knowledgeable member of staff. The wines were served with two platters of meat, cheese , pickles and bread/crackers. We then decided to stay on and have a meal which delicious and at a very reasonable price. Really lovely evening. Would recommend this little gem hidden away in Old Hall Street.

Rude, extremely disappointing, shocking and disrespectful staff! We arrived after making a booking the day before. I booked 2 Adults, 1 child aged 2. The booking itself was pleasant. We got slightly lost, rang in and again very pleasant. Arrived 7 minutes late and walked into a very ‘local’ pub feel. All eyes on us. We were told by the bar person that they were glad we found them. A woman appeared and looked at my Grandson and commented ‘we don’t have highchairs’ I commented that I’d booked ahead with a child on the booking? She said she would go down in the cellar and dust something suitable to bring up then asked me if I had a chair in my car???!!!! We approached the bar and I said I was confused as I’d booked a child ahead of coming. I was ignored, I said once again and the younger woman behind the bar looked at me and in a slightly raised voice utttered ‘well, yes she’s gone to get you something hasn’t she!!’ Based on this experience I told my Friend we were leaving as being treated like this was way beyond acceptable. I wasn’t happy and I let it be known! My Friend and I were left shocked and felt we had been treated appallingly by 2 extremely rude women. Whilst we were putting my Grandson in the car the older women came out and further patronised us with her offering of a dusted off cellar chair and we told her that her colleague was vile and it had gone beyond the chair. She walked off. Having read through the reviews I can see hands have changed and so this may be why I didn’t receive the reputation I had heard of. I have the feeling they felt they were above us! I’m not easily impressed so their Morgan cars and gold large Baroque chairs only further deepens my suspicions that they think they’re better 🤣🤣

5 out 5 Excellent food plenty choices Polite and helpful staff Definitely recommend Good value for money Warm and friendly atmosphere

Prebooked a meal for 4 and glad we did as the place was really busy. Excellent atmosphere and a nice mix of clientelle either eating, or drinking, or both. The service is top class and all the staff are so friendly. The food is out of this world and fantastic portions - the 4 of us are good eaters but struggled to clear our plates so good was the amount of food. We had 4 different meals but it would be unfair to highlight any one dish as every one was just magnificent. Other customers around us were also commenting on the quality of the food. Not to be missed if you're in Haworth just for a drink or to eat. Well done everybody at the Steam Brewery.

I haven’t been here for at least 30 years, the atmosphere was ok, but the meal was very average, and overpriced, the vegetables were very bland and unimaginative. As other people have commented, It felt like an old people’s home, in an 80’s time warp!

Awesome birthday treat and if u get Christine serving, she’s a winner! We had lovely food and and got amazing service. Thank you!

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. Because that's what you'll get if you eat there. Revolting

Great place with lovely food and very friendly staff. Amber who served us went above and beyond. She helped us with our order as there was so much choice. Charlotte the head chef is great and such a good chef. We will definitely be back.

Went into pow today to have a small lunch was served by Karina the assistant manager who was so helpful and catered to my every need, my food was delivered by the lovely Olivia who is in the Halloween spirit with her spider headband, food was made by the lovely James and was amazing as per usual

Terrible looking food. Some of the order wasn't even there. Never will I buy from here again. Mines gone straight in the bin. Shocking

Excellent view. Great selection of specials. Seafood heaven. Lovely selection of pastries too. Additional bonus: They sell bait for fishing and crabbing.

I went for an evening meal with a friend we both had a starter and a main course, I had the tom yum seafood soup which was very nice, my friend had spring rolls which he said were also very nice. For the main course I had the monkfish curry which I thought was very bland and really only tasted of coconut, my friend had duck and said it was very tough. We did tell the waiter our thoughts which he said would pass on to the chef. We paid the bill and left a tip which reflected what we thought of the quality of the food. However on returning home I noticed that we had been charged 12 1/2% service charge on top, which I think it totally wrong! It really should be left to the discretion of the customer, if you have had a nice meal and good service then you leave a good tip if not then you might not want to leave a tip at all. I class this as theft! I thought the food was overpriced and certainly not the best thai food I have eaten and with the service charge on top, I certainly won't be returning and would not recommend.

I came here for my birthday yesterday with some friends for a couple drinks. We all had the best time in this cosy atmosphere. The pisco sours is a must!

One of the friendliest cafe restaurants I have ever had the pleasure to frequent. The food is consistently cooked well & served with a smile. My wife & I go at least once per month to eat breakfast & have done so for the last three years. I would highly recommend this eatery to anyone.

Quick and attentive service. We had cake and tea which was really nice. However, prices were at the high end. Good stopping off point in New forest.
