The best restaurants serving British food in England

Met with friends for a much needed catch up. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in comfortable, ambient surroundings. Thank you so much!

Given a Groupon voucher as a gift for this meal. We got the budget Groupon service. Small table tucked away. Tonight a long story short the rump top steak cut we were only able to have with this package was so chewey and poor it had to be re cooked just to be edible The monkfish cheeks I had as a starter was tiny and smothered in a curried sauce the triple cooked chips were processed thin croquettes. And the Dirty mash did t seem to have the bacon lardons. Just some gravy and a sprig of cooked onions. All in all a poor showing for what looks like a lovely place to dine. To top it off the first bill presented was for the full meal no Groupon voucher taken into account. And the waitresses rolled her eyes when I explained their error. Chester has a lot of dining experiences and we go to a few when we can. I don’t think we will revisit this one.

Perfect example of lots of money and not getting the beer. This is not a tap house by any definition. Most of bar aimed at kitchen with folded arm staff. No food visible.. Mssing a trick here. Irony is the limited beer they do have is from good breweries yet hazy due to lack of cellar skills. No keg. No soul.

We were pleasantly surprised by this place! Every other place in town was closed, and we were initially not convinced by the look of the place, but we were wrong to judge - the food was delicious! The BLTA was the best sandwich I have had in a long time, and everyone else was very happy with their order!

Love this pub. Some of the most amazing food in the area. Can't wait to go back there for their VE celebrations. Always a great welcome - and the cocktails are damn good too!

We visited for Sunday lunch on Easter Sunday. We chose to eat in the dinning room as prefer not to eat in dog friendly spaces. The restaurant was quiet but pleasant. The Sunday lunch was very good and served on very hot plates which I love. Beautiful pink beef. Crispy roast potatoes and creamy mash. Tasty flavourful gravy. Desert was pleasant but we were too full to really enjoy it. Will definitely return.

Worth a visit if you are not a local

Lovely place, wonderful service - but the food was exemplary. I had the fish and chips, and it was possibly the best I've ever had. I asked if they added heroin to the food (it was THAT good) but I'm not sure they got the joke. I'll definitely be going back. Not for the heroin, though.

Went for Sunday lunch today. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. All ingredients appeared to be home cooked and very good quality. The restaurant was busy but the staff remained attentive . I will certainly return

Had a great meal very good value for money with a lovely warm and cosy atmosphere

How can you mess up a Ploughman’s Lunch? Come to the D&C and see. Microwaved half baguette that went dry, crisp and stale immediately. Cheese was appalling. The worst type of cheap, tasteless, doughy cheddar. Pork pie that was missing the pork. We will not be returning.

After having loved the food & service here under the previous management, we decided to give this lovely pub restaurant a try again & we were so glad we did. This was a treat for me from my son & from my husband to his mum for Mother’s Day. The cheese soufflé to start was superb & a lovely sea bass mains to follow was just as good as was the burgers my son & husband had. As some reviewers have mentioned before, the service was a little slow considering we were the first diners of the day but we weren’t in any hurry so this didn’t bother us at all & the food was piping hot & delicious. A nice touch at the end of the meal was the small gift for the ladies on the table for Mothering Sunday - thank you. There were a few couples entering the restaurant throughout our meal who hadn’t booked & were left disappointed as they were informed the kitchen was at full capacity & couldn’t take any more covers so I would advise booking is recommended. We would love to return.

Loved it! Great coffee - delicious vegan breakfast - friendly staff 👍

Arrived, booked, early on a Saturday evening and were promptly seated and efficiently provided with menus. Drinks came and we ordered our main meals, scampi and jerk chicken. This is where it went wrong. No more than 10 minutes later the food arrived! We both knew this was not freshly cooked food. The scampi was presented ok (but then how could you not?) but 'a large'..? Questionable. The chicken however had been piled on the plate with the chips,swimming in its sauce,and a 'rubberised' 1/2 corn on the cob. One mouthful was enough. Microwaved chicken of questionable date is not very pleasant no matter the strength of the coating. The lovely young lady serving recognised something was amiss and offered an alternative. When I said no, the other equally pleasant server lady suggested two free desserts. These were also refused. Yes, the chicken was comped, but... ... and the lady taking payment was lacking customer service skills. Shame. Could be nice, but it isn't.

Gran lugar para visitar para un rápido Y comida fácil a un precio razonable, vino a cenar y me alegro de que lo hicimos. Sin duda volvería de nuevo.
