The best restaurants serving British food in England

Nice enough restaurant. Simple menu but very tasty food. Staff are friendly and efficient, prices are reasonable. Has vegan options and decent side options.

Don’t drive too fast! Be sure to give this a try, food was delicious; proper Cumbrian comfort food reasonably priced and a toasty log burner on the go. Well worth the visit and most definitely will be back. Cakes look huge too Why did I never stop before?..

We visited this Easter weekend as a family party of 11 to celebrate a 70th birthday. Can’t praise the setting, food and service by the staff highly enough. What a lovely experience, thank you ☺️

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had an amazing gammon cooked to perfection. Certainly looking forward to returning again soon.

After feeling under the weather for a few days I fancied a Breakfast without the hassle of cooking. Ordered a Classic Breakfast through Just Eat, My food arrived quickly was beautifully presented not greasy in the slightest and very hot. Highly recommended. The best breakfast I have ever had, compliment to the chef.

Totally blown away, after a long hike around the nature reserve which is close by we felt a little peckish, after a quick hunt on Google I noticed this place and thought we would give it a bash. I didn't realise it would be such a great decision,it's currently going through some building work at the back but everyone was polite and welcoming, even the builders, we walked through the door and within moments we were greeted and seated. Not the normal rinse and repeat menu, such a refreshing change. After looking over their menu we decided to pick a couple of unusual sandwiches, this lead to us eating the best sandwiches of our life's... And I'm a pretty good sandwich maker 😉 It left me so happy I wanted to hug the owner and chef, I didn't, but that was the level of outstandingness achieved. We have been to top Mitchell restaurants around the world, yet a pub within an hour of my house resulted in such an amazing experience. For all that is good in the world, go... Go and eat there. A massive thank you to the owner and chef and please, keep up the amazing food.

The staff offer amazing service and are polite. They go out of their way to make the dining experience perfect. The service and amazing food was really sensational. For my husband to enjoy a meal and compliment the Chef was truly amazing. The Scotch Egg starter with Apple and Leek Sauce tasted beautiful. Every mouthful was lovely on the pallet. I had the Mushroom Omlette with chips and side salad. This was well presented and the salad looked inviting. My husbands fish and chips ( or should I say whale) was beautifully presented. My husband asked for extra tartar sauce which the member of staff gave to him incorporated in to a large serving dish which was presented to him on his meal rather than on the side.

Been waiting patiently for 3 months to try this place and wow we wasn’t disappointed. No probably about it this was the best roast dinner we ( 4 people in agreement ) have ever had. We went easy on starters as heard portions were big. Shared the fried olives which were lovely and very different , some breads with the burnt onion butter ( this butter is like spreading air , delightful) and scallops were excellent. We upgraded for 3 of us to the prime rib and one had the sirloin. Think Rib was £110 complete with trimmings , works out about £5 pp extra against normal sirloin but wow well worth it . The trimmings and Perfectly crisp roasties were in abundance . I have had some lovely roast dinners but there is no way I see this can be beaten , faultless!! Unfortunately a five month waiting list! Michelin star roast without a shadow of a doubt , parking easiest by the abbey near fish pool street👍

Managed to squeeze us in for Sunday lunch which was a bonus to start with! The food was absolutely amazing. Broad menu which caters for all. We had the Beef Sunday roast, the red cabbage and the cheesy leeks were delicious. All of the veg was so fresh and the meat was beautiful. My son had the quorn buttermilk chicken burger which came with fires and salad, he ate everything on his plate and commented on how nice the fries were.

We had lunch at this gem of a pub in beautiful countryside near Sevenoaks in Kent. We received a very warm welcome and our waiter was charming. My wife had the fish pie and I had mussels and both meals were delicious. We can recommend the food here and we hope to return soon.

Visited the tea rooms for lunch with elderly parents .. food and service were brilliant, so much so that I ordered a full cake for a birthday too - it was fabulous !

Had a lovely meal here .. I highly rate this establishment the food is excellent very reasonable on price. service is spot on very clean very tidy Will be visiting very soon in the near future

We were staying at Whitemead Forest Park and went to the Fountain Inn for dinner on two evenings. WE didn't take our dog with us although the pub welcomes dogs in the bar area. We had to book 24 hours in advance for both evenings and it is nice to see the pub being so popular. The welcome when we entered was warm and welcoming, and after ordering drinks we were shown to our table. Food service was very good with friendly staff. We had spring rolls, bruschetta, pork tenderloin, steak, moules, whisky chicken and chicken and mushroom pie. All were really good with portions that were generous. On our second night there were three menus: Valentines, Main and £10 Winter Warmer. What was so good was that we could mix and match from any menus, and the menu prices were sensible. Overall a nice place to spend an evening with good food and drink and friendly service.

Out for a Sunday drive. Decided to stop for Sunday lunch. Just had the sharers platter. Plenty of meats (3 kinds),vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. Everything cooked to perfection. Will definitely visit again.

Small but wonderfully eclectic record selection. Jim was a great guy to chat to about music and the city.
