The best restaurants serving British food in England

On a rainy miserable day called in and had a lovely steak pasty plenty of meat lovely pastry and hot. Would definitely recommend. Great prices too.

We’re here for the week, came to the Woodmans for dinner on Saturday night and ended up coming back again on Tuesday. Some of the best pub food we have had, the Cajun chicken burger is to die for, as is the steak and frites and the pork belly starter. Just absolutely delicious, fresh, generous portions and great service. Highly recommended.

Had a great walk to the pub along the Gloucester Way walk, and despite getting a bit lost and arriving later than anticipated, and the kitchen had just closed a few minutes before, they were more than happy to do us some food. We sat outside in their lovely garden and our food came promptly and was absolutely delicious. Great friendly service, and would recommend. Thank you so much!

Walked in at 14.56, told young girl order, she then said sorry we are not serving coffee now because we close in 4 minutes. If you are open until 15.00 then should be served takeaway hot drinks up until then. No sign to say they stop serving takeaway coffee before they close.

Last minute decision to have lunch and opted for The New Inn. Wonderful choice. The food was excellent and enjoyed the repartee with the lady serving and taking orders. Will definitely be back. Thank you

The Dashwood Hotel and those who run it are a disaster - and it could be so good. Firstly, communication was a disaster when we had to contact them, well in advance of our stay, due to unforeseen circumstances. We were unable to go and knowing that they could have helped by re-opening the booking and finding replacement as the Blenheim Palace Game fair was on that weekend! We found someone to take our place last minute. Remote check in a nightmare and no ph no for contact! Room: no rail in wardrobe and only 2 tea bags and 2 milk pods for a 3 night stay! Lots of little niggley things when it could have been so nice. Unwelcoming

Great service and delicious food! Thank you Charlotte and Cris for looking after us so well! I thoroughly enjoyed my pie.

Went to the Wellington Heifer for my birthday stopped over night. The bedrooms are lovely spotlessly clean with a lovely modern on/suite bathroom. The place itself is quaint and comfortable, we ate dinner here and the food is superb quality well cooked not "posh nosh" but very good and cooked to perfection. And last but not least your host Rob is a lovely helpful host without being intrusive all a wonderful stay Thank You Ken & Liz simpson

We visit Epsom once a year and always drop in for a couple of drinks, good beer and whiskeys. We didn't eat so no idea how good the food is.

This is handy for the hotel we were staying in. The staff were friendly and it appears popular but we were there early evening. They were offering a steak and chips dinner with trimmings and we both had that, When it arrived the steak was cooked as requested (given my wife and I don't agree on how to cook steak that's an achievement, The dining room was clean and you can see into the kitchen which was immaculate. To finish we had a "fig mess" figs replacing strawberries not the prettiest as the name suggests but the flavour was lovely

Nice people, nice food, cousy place!

Came for lunch with the family & grandchildren recently & we had a fab afternoon. The food was good, the play area kept the kids entertained and the staff were pleasant and friendly. We’ve definitely arranged to return in the school holidays & hopefully the sun will shine so we can enjoy the beer garden.

Unfortunately we were really unimpressed by the food here, which was a shame. I went for the fishermans pie which other reviews said had big chunks of fish and even prawns. Mine didn't have prawns but just a few tiny cubes of fish about 5mm square, all cut the same size as if from a bag of frozen. The potato topping was gloopy and watery. Didn't enjoy it at all. It had a bit of salad (mainly iceberg lettuce) with it instead of vegetables. In fact vegetables seemed missing from the entire menu and everything was with chips. Partner had steak pie which he didn't enjoy, it was dry and filled with not chunks of steak but shreds. They had also poured a watery gravy over the top which had made it soggy. Friend had steak but they said it was tough, and overcooked. She said she had had better steaks in Spoons for less than half the price. After spending £80 for the 3 of us we wished we hadn't bothered and sadly felt like we had wasted our money.

Fantastic food and very friendly service. Best mince and dumplings ever. Will be going again very soon! Thanks for my death row meal!!!

Fantastic food, great service from staff and we’re very accommodating for our dog. Couldn’t have asked for a better pub meal, it was fantastic quality!
