The best restaurants serving British food in England

Great night out was served by Lewis throughout the night and he was absolutely quality. Everyone drink he made was amazing, Great drinks and great prices

This place was a really nice find on a March Friday evening for a middle-aged but youthful couple visiting Lowestoft. Our B&B recommended the place next door (pink neon lights, fishbowl look), not for us! But right next door is a 'proper' nice pub. Comfortable, clean, and most of all, very welcoming. As soon as we were halfway to the bar, we got a cheery "hello" and "what can I get for you, are you going to be eating" I'm a bit grumpy when people are overly (falsely) friendly. But the young man and young woman who served us got it just right. Left us alone when wanted, and were quick to respond when we asked. The food is simple, (we had "chicken in a bucket') but the portions are good (but not wasteful) and really tasty and fresh. We've never been to Lowestoft before and probably never will again as we were here for a very specific reason, but our visit to this lovely pub turned a 'functional visit to the town into a pleasurable meal/night out. Thank you

Lovely food lovely experience , well worth the visit.

Staying in Sadberge for 6 weeks. So decided to check out The Tuns. A lovely couple run the pub. Although I didn't eat, the menu looked good and responsibly priced. Good selection on offer and dedicated evenings for special meals. Typical village pub with good service, highly recommended.

Lugar increíble, decoración, el equipo se ve muy bien! ¡Mención especial a mi encantador camarero Jey! Súper conocedor y una gran ayuda! Gracias al sumiller Giorgia también.

Visited Oliver’s on Saturday with my mum and four children, and it was absolutely AMAZING. From the moment we arrived, the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or attentive—they looked after the kids brilliantly and made the whole experience feel really special. The food was equally impressive. The empty plates at the end of the meal said it all! The filet steak was cooked to perfection, the sea bass was fresh and full of flavour, and the boys couldn’t get enough of the ice cream cookie dessert. Generous portion sizes, too. We also found out they offer 50% off food from Tuesday to Thursday—unbelievable value for the quality you get. Huge thanks to all the staff for making us feel so at home. We’ll definitely be back!

Everyone should go here just for the milkshakes. We even had an extra milkshake instead of dessert because they are soooo good. Rayna May was a friendly, efficient, knowledgeable waitress. The place was really clean and comfortable. The food was very reasonably priced. My salad was amazing, my friend really enjoyed her burger and did I mention the milkshakes 🤣🤣🤣

The fish was so dry we couldn’t eat it both went in the bin. The batter was lovely and crunchy we were really disappointed.

Was very disappointed . We held our Company Christmas party here last year & it was very good so decided to book again this year . Our table was right by double doors leading to dancefloor and bar , last year the doors were shut whilst eating but this year open . We were freezing cold & 2 of us put our coats on in the end . The DJ played music so loud all the way through the meal so we couldn't hear anyone talking that wasn't sat right next to us !! The broccoli was practically raw .. We won't be booking it next year !!

I visited this restaurant on Sunday evening and unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the service was inattentive and disorganised. We were left waiting far too long to be seated, and once we were, it took even longer for someone to take our order. The food itself was extremely underwhelming — bland, poorly presented, and certainly not worth the price. What made the experience even worse was the cleanliness of the place. The tables were sticky and clearly hadn’t been wiped down properly. It gave the whole restaurant a grubby, neglected feel that made us question the hygiene standards behind the scenes. The most alarming part of the evening, however, was the staff's complete disregard for food allergies. When we asked about allergen information, the manager seemed clueless and unconcerned. This is not just unprofessional — it’s dangerous. For a restaurant to operate without taking allergies seriously is a serious health risk, and it’s something that absolutely must be addressed. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. The environment was unpleasant, the staff poorly trained, and the overall experience left a lot to be desired. I strongly believe this venue should be inspected by environmental health authorities. Dining out should never feel unsafe or unsanitary, but sadly, that’s exactly how it felt here.

We have always loved coming to the Weighbridge and having not been since the new owners took over which turns out to be 12+ months ago we visited the first Saturday in February with friends. We all picked the two in one pie in various guises. Mine was a steak n mushroom but I chose to have the root veg for a change and I thoroughly enjoyed it. As we were playing catch up with some friends we were probably the last to leave. There was no pressure put upon us which had certainly happened to us with the previous owners. In fact we chatted with the new landlady and she was very friendly and pleasant. Will definitely return.

Soup good. Soup was very good. Enjoyed the soup. Nice soup. When I was eating the soup I was thinking mmmmmmmmmmmmmm this is good soup.

We were visiting for a weekend and went here twice for lunch. Nice selection of items and we enjoyed everything we had. Staff were friendly, tables clean and food came out quick. Chatted to some locals who were there which is always a good sign. Even took some cakes away.

On a recent visit, the restaurant’s friendly welcome was overshadowed by a disappointing experience. I ordered the Sunday Roast Hereford Beef with drinks. The lunch looked sparse, but it came with two slices of roast beef and other accompaniments that didn’t justify the £42 price tag. The beef appeared to be of good quality but too fatty. The roast beef was actually tough, inedible with no discernible taste (due to lack of seasoning) and had an unpleasant gristly texture. The waiter understood the issue when he inquired about our meal, but his explanation of a change in meat cuts seemed inadequate. The Sunday roast had been exceptional during our previous visit. The Granny Smith Apple and Blackberry Crumble was ok. The cardamom custard was tasteless and runny, lacking the characteristic texture of custard. This visit was a complete disappointment. The roast beef was of poor quality and overpriced, making it the most expensive Sunday Roast I’ve had. It felt like a ‘mick-take’, and I left feeling unhappy and taken advantage of. I won’t be returning to this restaurant, as it prioritises profit over quality.

It’s such a lovely stop off before the motorway or heading to the dales the staff are friendly and quick to serve , the food is excellent.
