The best restaurants serving British food in England

A lovely little gem, warm atmosphere and warm home cooked food. Lovely service, extremely quick but not felt rushed. There were 5 of us and we ordered a variety of dishes from starters mains and puddings. Big portions for a good price and served hot.

My first visit here with a friend. It was a very busy lunchtime, Wednesday. Staff were good - very friendly and efficient. I ordered the BLT sandwich in wholemeal bread, my friend had a ham and tomato sandwich. Her's was lovely, mine not so. There was one very small piece of back bacon in the first half, and the bacon in the other half was so hard I couldn't cut it with a knife, let alone my teeth! It had clearly been pre-cooked and kept warm - probably from the breakfast which they curiously stop serving at 11.45. The lettuce was wet, so had made the bread soggy. The only bit I enjoyed was the side salad. I didn't feel able to say anything at the time, as my friend was paying for us both - a British thing! However, if anyone had approached to ask if our food was OK - I would definitely have said something. The coffee was very good - but disappointing food for me. I left most of it. I don't know if I would go back - there is too much competition in Beverley to serve at this level. And the upstairs room is cold and uninviting.

Lovely food and great service! We visited Sunday with a party of 13 for my son’s 18th birthday. Food was all delicious and served in good time and waitresses very friendly. Steaks were cooked to perfection and roasts were all delicious. Cannot fault anything and you all made his birthday special. Thank you all so much!

Visited as reviews were good but very overpriced for the portions. We recently moved to the area and were hoping for this to be our regular breakfast spot as it has gluten free options (these turned out to be very limited) The service was a little slow but very friendly so we were hopeful however, when the food arrived it was very small portions for the pricing! Shame as it’s very near to where we live.

We often visit the Shakespeare for drinks but decided to eat here after work. We sat in the quaint upstairs dining area. The food was superb - Salt & Pepper squid, tasty with a lovely light batter - Duck Hash - the meat was very tender and fell off the bone - Fishcakes - homemade and tasty with a great sized salad. - Seasoned Fries - amazing taste to the seasoning The staff were lovely and friendly with brilliant service. It was the best food we had eaten out for a while. Looking forward to the next time already!

Stayed the night here. Absolutely gorgeous food. Chef very highly recommended. The staff were very attentive and room was adequate for what we needed for our overnight stay. Will go back for food especially.

Halloween party was fab with lots of games and fun for the adults and kids.Meal included at a fair admission fee too. Well done to the hosts.

My grandaughter and I shared a gentlemans afternoon tea and it was delicious- great value for money- a lovely treat. The staff were lovely. Thank you again.

The carvery was excellent just like old times with plenty of everything and good service. There were different of us and we did not have to wait would recommend.

A really lovely local country pub; many locals here giving the pub a true community atmosphere. Very dog friendly. Good beer, and the staff even friendlier than the dogs. On Sundays, they just serve roasts, but they accommodated us by serving delicious stuffing balls as a special favour. There is a roaring log fire and a comfy sofa, and sweeping views. Highly recommended.

I have just eaten the best Cajun chicken burger in my life.....wow that was amazing, succulent, spicy, delicious and very well presented. Staff really friendly, service really quick, good pint of Corby Blonde....add to that the great views over Matterdale Common....winner winner chicken dinner.

Came here alone and couldn’t have asked for better experience chatted to the staff very professional yet relaxed had a good talk with all. Ordered a lasagna and it was really nice especially with the chips. Kid called Layton who was working there was very kind to me and bought my meal out very quickly great service.

Popped in here on our way to the New Forest from Eastbourne it’s a shame that we are not more local as the food and service were fantastic

prawn starter overcooked outside, cold in middle, sent back, mains just as bad, old fat, not fresh, no idea, never again

Outstanding inn for a winter's overnight stop for a solo elderly traveller with his dog. Staff friendly, helpful and welcoming. Accommodation warm and comfortable. Food excellent and service brilliant. Also easy dog walks straight outside the front door. A real find.
