The best restaurants serving British food in England

Thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to Carn Vean during our week long stay on St Mary's. Definitely recommend it as a great spot whether you're visiting the beach or en route around the island.

Great food, good service and excellent atmosphere 👌

Our local art group of 19 had a Christmas lunch here this week, the food and service both very good, very enjoyable. The young lady serving our food was very efficient and pleasant. Well done everyone

Well, I don't know what to say here to be quote honest. We came to this establishment for a dinner reservation, it started off nicely with the Barman mark i think, promptly addressing us and seating us at the table and giving us menus and he said our waitress wpuld be with us shortly to take drinks order. We saw him tell the lady we had arrived and that's where it went wrong. The body language on this woman (didn't get her name, big blonde European maybe) was dismissive. She told another memebr of staff to "deal with this table" while she was on her mobile phone. Needless to say, very rude. The lady took our order Kiyro I think her name was, very lovely and smiling almost made us forget about the other lady, Almost. We had our drinks, starters and main and when I came to dessert, we had seen and heard enough so we asked for the bill and we left. Unfortunately we won't be coming back, the food was beautiful and Mark? and Kiyro were very welcoming but the other lady I think was their manager wasn't at all. If you do go to eat here, I'd suggest the bar area, staff are lovely there.

What a find! Really nice pub hidden in a small village. Friendly staff and top quality food. Excellent portions for children too. Would highly recommend

Absolutely amazing! Friendly staff to start off. Chicken was absolutely incredible! Pizzas were lovely and warm. Pasta was hot and tasty. Overall, incredible experience. Highly recommend

Son had his wedding blessing here, together with bridal breakfast, evening reception and breakfast following day (hired several of the cottages as well as rooms in the main hotel - they couldn't be faulted.) Food was exceptional, so full from the breakfast ( huge home made burgers, chicken breast and BBQ with sides that beat anything I'd had in my previous 60 years), bars in events venue and main hotel, care from staff couldn't be faulted. With a walk through the gardens to the river at the end so see the broads boats go by while enjoying the sun, prior to the evening events. Guests enjoyed the more lively evening when the sound system was cranked up, before those who had to make their way to other places started leaving. Following morning breakfast was more than ample to get through to evening, a buffet bar plus cooked to order menus, full English was good, or a mountain of scrambled egg on toast with a thick large sliver of salmon as the roof. Highly recommend

Greeted with a warm friendly smile from Jess, she was most helpful bringing our drinks over. Sharon was also there to advise on what was best to eat. Fantastic place with a great atmosphere

First time here. Lovely location. Right the side of river. Staff were great. The food however is not good value. We had the tapas. The arancini were small balls with just rice inside. And just slightly coloured with which I presume to be the ragu ? No sign of a raging sauce. My brusheta had no hint of garlic or basil ? Just tomatoes and a bit of rocket. Again small portion. The serving of the food was strange aswell. I thought the idea of tapas is to have different foods in front of you at one time , they all canes at different times. The aubergine came 15 mins after the first dish was served. We had eaten the rest by then. Meat balls were ok but again small portion. Shame really as for me the dishes are way overpriced for what ( and when ) you get them. Could be better

I have travelled throughout the UK and eaten Full English Breakfasts in many hotels,pubs and restaurants. The one I had at Classic Cafe yesterday was the tastiest, hottest I have ever had. Cooked to perfection. The service, was as always, great. On my list for a revisit. Close to Doncaster, Bawtry and the A1M. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

One of the worst experiences for a long time. The pub was cold, and, although I had booked a table for lunch weeks before they told me I could only have a snack as they were not serving lunch. Then they couldn’t even offer us some of the things on the snack menu. It was expensive and lacklustre. The conservatory was not heated. Such a shame as this pub was one of my favourites but we won’t go again.

A very warm welcome for us last night (3/9/24) with help for my daughter who uses a wheelchair, the lady had no issues with putting a ramp out for her. Our two dogs were also welcomed and they slept (mostly) well under the table. The food was really good quality and the rump steak was excellent, well seasoned and a great cut of meat. Friendly atmosphere with lots of dog owners enjoying themselves, The staff were excellent as well and nothing was too much trouble. Well worth a visit in my opinion

What a fantastic little tea shop and very interesting to find out about their charity work. They catered extremely well for allergies and there was even a choice of deserts. This staff were friendly and kind and helpful with making choices.

The Bicycle is consistently fabulous in every way. Menu uses very fresh seasonal food, presented beautifully and tasting top notch. The wine menu is carefully curated and Brian will explain the characteristics of a good wine to pair with our food choice. The welcome from Kerry, Brian and their staff is always genuine and warm. Restaurant atmosphere is very customer-focused and comfortable. I highly recommend The Bicycle for high quality, variety and everything I hope a good restaurant experience would be. Don't forget to book a taxi to get home .... then simply relax and enjoy.

Well I won't be going back ,the food was awful ...the tomato ,basil and pesto soup had a horrible sharp but sugary sweet taste...the sandwich that came with it had the cheapest bright yellow " butter "on. ,a maximum of one slice of ham and the cheapest mustard . My 4 year old grandson could have made a better sandwich ! My husband had pie which had hardly any meat in it and the gravy was unusual tasting ( to say the least ) and sweet . I've had far superior microwave meals ! The toilets which were always an asset to the pub had gone downhill too.
