The best restaurants serving British food in England

Absolutely dreadful meal Went for a birthday meal with my family Basic menu, waited 45 minutes for our meal and only one girl on the bar and serving I ordered lasagne that was burnt and dried out and the pasta was like mashed potato, the garlic bread was also burnt and the salad was swimming in dressing My husband ordered steak pie that was full of salt and the vegetables were hard My son and daughter in law ordered the burger which was a cheap tasting burger with cheese and loads of garlic they ended up leaving it The food was served by an harassed kitchen staff and when we looked in the kitchen it looked unclean and chaotic

Nice pub but food not great. Beef and lamb overcooked and possibly microwaved. Roasters fried. Staff very good however although I go for the food not the staff

Reservamos una mesa para un domingo. Un almuerzo de domingo establecido era el único disponible. Y no decepcionó. Hermosos gustos, gran presentación, servicio encantador. Soy muy difícil de complacer , me encanta la comida que destaca y grita “cómeme”. No es caro, la calidad más que la cantidad. Vale cada centavo. Gracias.

The best fish I have ever eaten in my life, waiters, very good food, very good cleanliness, magnificent togolets, everything is perfect, the fish is very nice, everything is very nice.

Staying locally for a couple of days and went on hosts recommendation. Arrived at 6 on a Wednesday evening to find it very busy but we were found a table quickly. Service was very good. Drinks arrived quickly, food followed which was fresh and tasty. Finished with coffee in the garden. We would definitely go back and thoroughly recommend them.

Two course lunch gifted to us as an anniversary present. Arrived on time, no one there to greet us for five minutes. Lunch was nice especially the starter. Unfortunately there wasn’t much atmosphere, though I think that was because it was early 12.30.

We visited here after reading some encouraging reviews and noting that “booking is essential for food”, we thought it would be a safe bet while we were in the area. Unfortunately, the 2 stars are for service along as the bar staff were very polite and helpful. They are also dog friendly which is a bonus. Other than that, the food was not impressive. We had the Sunday roast and the beef tasted of poor quality, and vegetables were not seasoned and lacked flavour. The cabbage served with the meal was pickled which wasn’t what we expected. We were still hungry afterwards but didn’t want to waste any more money on desert in case it was more of the same. The decor is very tired and the place does lack atmosphere unfortunately. We didn’t drink alcohol but they have a wide variety of ales to choose from behind the bar. We won’t be returning, sadly!

Lovely flat white coffee ( and toasted tea cake!), friendly staff, Dogs welcome . Convenient for park and beach!Will definitely come again for a coffee!!Thanx!

Fantastic food - as always. Fresh, local produce prepared with love. David and his team are always so welcoming. Well worth the 260 mile round trip!

Been a while since we visited this small jewel in Cumbria. Years ago it was renowned for good home cooked food so given the opportunity to revisit, we did. As expected these good people are still on top of their game. The venue is clean and homely, the service pleasant and helpful but saving the best til last, the food was exceptional. Solid menu enables varying tastes, portion size generous and quality is superb. A place to visit with satisfaction guaranteed. Give others a miss if you must but not this one!

Been to the Swan many times and never had a bad meal, food is lovely. Last night we went to the free bonfire and firework display and it was amazing. Well done to all the staff there, we had a great night. Thankyou.

this place ticks all the boxes atmosphere fun and relaxed, staff could not be more helpful and food was great all home cooked and great value for money...I would certainly go back. Thank you guys for making the evening a memorable part of our mini break..down stairs was closed down you have to go up stairs to the bistro so looks on the outside can put you off please give this place a chance

We enjoyed our visit, the restaurant has a separate GF menu and the gf (and veggie) pie was very tasty. It was served with gluten free and vegan gravy which was appreciated. The staff were friendly. The restaurant is dog friendly and they brought our dog some snacks when we arrived :)

This restaurant really went the extra mile for our group which included someone in a large wheelchair and 2 young children.

This diner was recommended by a friend. We enjoy an all day breakfast so thought we would give Munchies a try. Wow! We ordered 2 Olympic breakfasts. After a few minutes the chef came out and politely asked if we realised how large the meal would be as some people are unable to eat it all and are surprised at the size of it. We assured him it would be fine. The meal was delicious, hot, well cooked and well presented. And yes we did eat it all. We will certainly return as we live locally. A real gem
