The best restaurants serving British food in England

We'd been a week previously and couldn't resist returning. The 'Full Nelson' breakfast was enormous and delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Visited twice during a 6 week period in 2019 and had different meals each time. We returned to see if we had got something wrong however this turned out not to be the case. What food we had was enjoyable however there simply was not enough of it to justify the spend - therefore it can be deemed as expensive for what we had. The staff are nice and the place itself also nice however just wish it was better value for money than was found. Drinks are also overpriced. As an example, a dessert mousse which I though would be quite rich and in abundance left me wanting for more as there was simply an inch in a glass with more oaty toppings than mousse and in a couple of small spoons it was gone. It would have been nice to have more for the money. Maybe the name Bistro gives it away and should have realised that we were only going to get "Pretty food" and not wholesome filling food but we live and learn. Doubt we would return for a third time sadly. UPDATE AUGUST 2022 THE BRIDGE BISTRO IS NO LONGER OPEN OR TRADING

Lovely food, great service and value. Will be back. Perfect Sunday Roast.

Lovely food and lovely old fashioned pub. The guy was on his own doing everything serving, taking orders, cooking but he did an excellent job under really trying circumstances. All four of us enjoyed our food and will definitely be going back, we went because our first visit was for an excellent Sunday roast and our second visit didn’t disappoint.

Fantástico me encanta la comida increíble y encantador café y pasteles Mi favorito es el tazón de sopa que es delicioso y el personal es siempre tan acogedor.

Brilliant meal , reasonably priced with excellent service though out. A must visit dinning experience. Many thanks :D

Every year we visit Woolacombe at least once or twice, we absolutely love it here. Bar Electric is always the highlight of our trip, and gets better and better every year. Amazing food, great beer, incredible choice of spirits and soft drinks, and most importantly, always served with a smile and given such fantastic treatment from the team. We can’t wait to come back again soon. The piggy dirty fries, the hot dogs, halloumi fries, and burgers are all INCREDIBLE! Worthy every penny and we always leave with very full bellies! Amazing Open Mic nights, and beautiful views overlooking Woolacombe Beach, and Lundy on a clear day. Can’t beat it. Thank you so much Bar Electric. We love you!

My family and I have visited the Church House Inn a number of times and it is a fantastic pub for all seasons. There is always a cosy fire in the winter and the garden is a treat for when the sun is shining! The service is fantastic, very welcoming and friendly staff, and to top it all off the food is particularly excellent. Highly recommend as a destination!

We stumbled across this place on a day out, quirky interior, staff friendly and scone was delicious, reasonably priced

On arriving for our 6pm table we had to queue at the bar blocking the entrance to be seated. Only we weren’t seated, just told our table number and a hand gesture to signal we should find it ourselves. We took our menus and waited patiently to at least have a drinks order taken. Eventually, a waitress came over to ask if we had ordered drinks. We arrived at the same time as a huge party so were keen to order food before they did. We ordered food which came quite quickly. However, the hunters chicken special was mainly made up of a very sweet and sticky bbq sauce with not that much chicken. It had obviously been microwaved as it was very hot. The sauce completely overpowered the chicken so much so the breaded chicken was very soggy and needed most of the sauce removing. Another large party arrived so the noise levels were very loud and it was difficult to hear conversation on our table. Nobody came to ask how the food was, offer another drink, clear our plates or ask if we would like dessert or coffee. My husband went to the bar to get another drink and pay our bill. We’ve been recently for Sunday lunch which was lovely so would return for that but not an evening meal and would sit in the bar away from the noisy large group environment of the extension area. Sad to see it’s gone downhill as we’ve had some lovely evenings there.

Went for a family meal to celebrate my partner’s birthday. Food, drink and service was great as always. We even got a free dessert thrown into the mix as part of the birthday celebration!

I found the pub/ grounds spotlessly clean & tidy. A credit to all who maintain this pub/restaurant/garden. Staff very friendly. Great atmosphere. Well done to the team.

Stayed recently, and I did like being there other than the staff refusing to accept scottish money saying. we have had a scottish forgery so we dont accept any scottish money (really). The most commonly forged currency in the uk is a bank of England £20 note. There are many ways to verify if money is genuine pens and machines. This prejudice needs to stop. Post office state Scottish money is accepted but not given back out except in Scotland. And all banks will accept Scottish notes.
