The best restaurants serving British food in England

Delightful collection of fans, beautifully decorated and well-displayed. It was particularly lovely to see them by candlelight. Well worth a visit

Came with our 6 year old. Lovely meal. The children's menu, although not many options, was good quality and large portions. The tapas were also very good quality and good sized portions (maybe 2 each is probably enough, or 3 if really hungry). The staff were very friendly and attentive. Good atmosphere in the resteraunt. Will definitely come back.

Gin Masterclass and Tasting. Absolutely FASCINATING. Our all-knowledgable teacher was Moses and he was passionate, informative, patient and made the day for us. The food is to die for - recommend the burger

What a delightful visit we had here. Delightful little place, got a real traditional feel to it and plenty of choice in the way of lunches and cakes. I had mushrooms on toast, a simple yet substantial dish, while my boyfriend enjoyed his sandwich. The service was fantastic, all really friendly! My only negative experience was using the toilets, where you've got to go across the little way to an antiques shop. This isn't a problem in itself and I happily relieved myself. However, the staff in there were shouting and swearing. Even when he saw me walk past he said, "Listen (female dog)" really loudly. Not aimed at me I don't think but felt a bit uncomfortable. This ot course is no fault of Jennys but perhaps the staff at the antiques shop could be a bit more considerate.

Such lovely, welcoming staff. Great service and great food. Thank you very much Audrey. We’ll be coming back next time we visit.

We dropped in to break up what turned out to be the first part of an horrendous journey from our home in Wiltshire to Kent. We received a very warm welcome from the lovely lady at the bar. The kitchen opened a bit early to cook us some very welcome and good food. Would definitely recommend and will return in happier circumstances!

A truly lovely little find in Blanchland. The man who served us (possibly the owner) was really friendly and chatty. He really made us feel welcome. Lovely tea/coffee, cake and scones. Would definitely recommend.

My friends and me had a wonderful time at The Ashley last night. Great food, drink , service, music and great atmosphere. We ll all be back next week! Happy Times!!

Dear [Restaurant Management], I have been a loyal patron of the Horn of Plenty for the past 20 years, making it a tradition to dine at your establishment during my annual October visit to Cornwall. I have always cherished my experiences, which have consistently been a highlight of my trips. However, my recent visit in 2024 left me disappointed and saddened. Firstly, the new decor, with its dull and somber wall colors, lacks the warmth and elegance that I used to associate with the restaurant. The ambiance now feels flat and uninviting, which is a stark contrast to the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere I’ve enjoyed in the past. Secondly, the quality of service has noticeably declined. Staff seemed inattentive, and the overall service felt lackluster compared to previous years. I’ve come to expect a high level of hospitality, and unfortunately, that standard was not met. Regarding the menu, I was surprised by the limited options available. As a long-time guest, I have always appreciated the variety and creativity of your offerings. This year, however, I found myself having to order two chicken-based dishes for both my starter and main, as the fish option was underwhelming and did not meet the quality I’ve come to expect. The flavors were not as memorable, and it felt as though the culinary experience had taken a step back. Furthermore, the prices do not seem justified given the reduced quality and variety. It is disheartening to say that I will not be returning, as the Horn of Plenty no longer feels like the special place it once was. I hope you take this feedback constructively, as it comes from someone who has truly valued your establishment over the years. Thank you for taking the time to consider my comments, and I hope the Horn of Plenty can once again reclaim its status as a cherished gem. Warm regards, Norma Tako

Me and the Mr popped in for a post sea-swim breakfast and ssooo glad we did. Staff were welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Food was good quality, very tasty, and well presented. My tea came in a non-leaky pot, and was hot and fresh. Bacon was crispy, eggs were a rich yellow colour, and well seasoned. Carrot cake was moist and the frosting was lush! Will definitely be back. Thanks, you've pitched it just right! 👌🏼😍😋

Probably the best fish and chips I've ever had and I'm 78 so I've eaten a lot! Excellent service and spotlessly clean place. Well worth a stroll up the hill from the harbour and if you're lucky enough to get a window seat you're rewarded with a great sea view. 5*****.

Fanflippintastic! Excellent quality & proper value for money! At £9.95 all in!! Just shows that anywhere that charges above £10 for a top notch breakie including a huge pot of tea is taking the p*ss!

What’s not to love about this wonderful cafe overlooking Widemouth beach. It’s so good we visited for a yummy breakfast (especially the breakfast stack) every day of our trip. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the service efficient and food quality high, with generous portion sizes and reasonable prices it’s a must visit. It’s also dog friendly. With seating inside and out and plenty of paid for parking on site.

Have eaten here many times and it remains one of my favourite restaurants in Northampton. Staff are always very friendly and attentive. Love the range and quality of food. Their onion bhaji scotch egg is a stand-out dish!

Great traditional English pub. Ale is good, and the staff are so friendly!!
