The best restaurants serving British food in England

We booked the private dining room for a birthday celebration and have to say it was perfect! We had liaised with Craig, the manager over the last 4 weeks and he ensured all our requirements were met. We arrived last Saturday night to be greeted by Charlotte and our party of 17 was shown to the room, she was extremely helpful and friendly. The room had been set out as we wanted it and decorated tastefully. Charlotte checked that the pre-order was correct and arranged for the first courses to be served. Food was exceptional, gaps between courses so we could chat and staff very attentive to ensure drinks were topped up when needed and any sauces etc. were required plus checking to ensure the food was OK. The party was a great success and everyone enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Many thanks to Charlotte, Aaron and Joe, who all worked hard to ensure the night was enjoyed by all and were a credit the Vane Arms. Thanks also to the Chefs, who created some great dishes and all served in a timely manner, highly recommend the crème brûlée, absolutely perfect!

What a cracking pub will try the food next time

Having spent 25 years in the hospitality industry, working front of house and management side I am well aware of the correct ways when dealing with people. We would always do our best to ensure customers were happy and enjoyed their experiences. They would then recommend our establishment to friends and family. I can never recall an occasion when we turned away an opportunity to make money. Especially not for the sake of £10!! I was part of the group of 10, changed to 8, who were spoken to very rudely by the "owner" of The Tardebigge on 24th October after querying the non return of a deposit To be asked "well do you want the table?" in the way she asked us was totally unacceptable. I told her we obviously did as we had no intention of losing another £40. At that she completely lost it and said she would give us the £50 we'd paid and we were to leave. I fully appreciate the need for non-refundable deposits at Christmas, weekends and other busy times of the year but a Thursday lunch hardly comes under that umbrella and to return £10, make customers happy and likely to tell others, whilst also taking around £250 is surely the better option? We'll certainly not return

We had a wonderful lunch in the garden for a birthday celebration, we had done the same last year and had a wonderful time so hoped this year would live up to our expectations from last year. It really didn’t disappoint. A wonderful setting, great staff and top quality food. You never feel rushed or over crowded, so it’s very relaxing. A real gem!

Had a wonderful brunch here, full English breakfast and friends had different but all food was superb as was the service, nothing too much trouble. Quirky booths with lots of games that can be played whilst waiting. Have also been here just for coffee and tea and service is brilliant, will be back again soon.

Another lovely pub in Penzance. Nice atmosphere.

I love this place especially your crispy cake slices. But your hot chocolate today was not good. Didn't complain as haven't got the time but far too much cream and marshmallows in hit chocolate so there felt like no hot chocolate to drink and what was there was not hot. Go easy on cream !

Este fue un lugar elegido para el almuerzo para un grupo de seis amigos que buscan un lugar agradable pero no demasiado caro para disfrutar de una comida relajante. Estuvo a la altura de todas las expectativas. El menú de platos pequeños era más que adecuado y el servicio era eficiente y amable. ¿Qué no te gusta? Bien hecho 👏

First visit to this wonderful pub for Sunday Lunch. Booked a table in advance which I am glad of as it was very busy. Very cosy pub, staff very welcoming. I had a Roast Pork Dinner and my husband had Steak & Ale Pie. Both meals were delicious and generous sized portion. Highly recommend. We will definitely be going back.

The food and service at Rienna’s is always excellent! Such a lovely family run business and always help to accommodate any special requirements (eg more space for pram, etc). This is now a regular spot for us in our local town.

Great family meal. What a gem of a place. Cool vibe, great menu and drinks. Excellent authentic pizzas and divine salads. Sabine and her mum offer excellent food and service. Well worth a visit.

Great for a get together - staff were attentive & looked after us well - all our meals were lovely , compliments to the chef! & all the staff for looking after us on a busy Sunday - would highly recommend recommend and be back x

Absolutely fantastic! Booked the night before & managed to get a table,. Great breakfast, lovely staff, well worth a visit! We will be back! 😍

Rarely do I got anywhere where I feel like great food, friendly service and atmosphere combine so perfectly. My friends and I stumbled upon the restaurant just outside of the main city centre. We all had the hot sandwiches which were excellent. Great quality bread, every item in the filling considered and flavoured to perfection and the most deliciously dressed garnish that makes you want a whole other plate of it. Highly recommend. I only wish I lived closer so could visit again!

We recently dined at The Clink Restaurant in Sutton and I can't say enough good things about our experience. The staff were warm and welcoming and our waiter, Luke, was friendly, efficient and gave us a good laugh. It wasn't just the service that impressed us, it was the quality of the food that made an impact. Whilst the selection of dishes is fairly small, each is well thought out and the flavours are punchy and distinctive. We were particularly impressed to discover that a lot of the produce was grown on site, including the aubergines for our miso aubergine main, and the celeriac for our celeriac soup. Luke's impeccable service, carefully curated selection of interesting dishes and the delectable, grown on site vegetables make this a restaurant I can highly recommend. Currently they are only taking booking for groups of 25 and more, but I hope that it returns to smaller bookings soon so that we may make another visit!
