The best restaurants serving British food in England

Fresh , tasty and served exquisitely. I've visited here several times and it's a beacon of quality and charm in amongst the over priced coffee chains and ' caffs' in the town centre centre. I had the mashed avocado with poached eggs . The bread was fresh and top quality and the avocado was fresh and generously prese.ted with two perfect poached eggs . The balsamic swirls and chilli flakes set it all off perfectly .

We like the place,to sit and chill although we have been told its closing down...

Arrived just before they stopped at 6pm...excellent venison burger, my wife enjoyed her but roast, really friendly service too

Good honest food. Freshly cooked and delicious! Staff friendly, helpful and nothing too much trouble. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Really friendly staff and a proper full english. Fantastic stop off on the way to Thorpe Park.

In summary, The Bell made our long weekend break. We stumbled in by accident and were greeted by Carole, who made us feel welcome although we were staying elsewhere. Carole was so natural and brought such warmth to the establishment, we came back for lunchtime drinks, then booked for dinner next day. The roast was superb and service was perfect, so we came back for breakfast the next day. Again, superb food. Could not recommend enough for service, quality of food and value.

Best Sunday roast in a long time!! Just got back and had to write this! Had the roast beef and it was beautifully cooked and the rest of the bits with it were also very good. And sticky toffee pudding to finish it off was fantastic also. And the customer service to top it off was fantastic. Would 100% recommend. And 100% will be going back for steak night.

Sat outside and had tasty, generous and well priced sandwiches served by friendly staff. Also had the carrot cake which was very nice.

Had our family Christmas get together here last night. Food was excellent, all staff went above and beyond. Couldn't fault it at all. Will definitely return.

Service and Food both poor. Arriving 10 mins before our table reservation we were seated and then ignored. 20 minutes later we were told that a large party had ordered and that we would have a 30 minute wait. In fact we waited 40 mins. Food was poor. Hard deep fried roast potatoes, under cooked vegetables and tough meat. Should have stayed at home.

We stayed here as it was nicely located for our trip to Scotland and was listed as dog friendly. The staff were so welcoming from start to finish and dog friendly is the biggest understatement ever! The room was well furnished and very comfortable and was a great start to our holiday. The food however was the real highlight and was backed up by great staff. They were very knowledgeable and were able to answer all questions about the dishes and their contents. All 3 courses were very well presented and the portion size perfect. The gravy is the most unbelievable gravy I have tasted. The staff will know who wrote this review as I wouldn't shut up about how nice it was! The fellow diners were very friendly and they all looked like they were enjoying the food as well. A massive thank you to all at The Dog for a great stay and for making us, along with our Border Collie, feel so welcome. A massive thank you to the chef for the gravy though!

What a fabulous lunch. There were eight of us who ordered a variety of sandwiches, toasties and cream teas. Food was excellent and great value for money. Service was quick and friendly. People have written reviews complaining about the decor which is actually very tastefully done. Besides, with such great food in a beautiful setting why worry about the decor!

Family Sunday lunch for 6. Service was excellent, food really scrummy, thoroughly superb visit all round

Outstanding - food was absolutely divine. We stayed over and had to be away early so landlady got up earlier than usual and made us bacon butties and tea and coffee to take with us. Went above and beyond to make us welcome.

Love the food here. We always get home delivery and it is usually here pretty quickly. Drivers are friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
