The best restaurants serving British food in London

Yet another British pub that seems incapable of serving beer. Not a single draught available - all 'off'. Only the gassy stuff. Can you imagine a butcher that says ' no meat, but we have sausages'?. Never seemed to be a problem when this pub was a 'spoons - generally a choice of about five beers back then. Service pleasant enough, but I won't be bothering to go back - an attitude shared by others if the empty premises are any indication....

La piedra gótica de Londres se ha ido. Es reemplazado por un decaimiento urbano que parece un bar artesanal de cerveza llamado Cannick Tapps. La distribución de la bodega es muy parecida, pero sin aspecto gótico. Ha advertido a los urbanos de que vengan y se sientan industriales. Tenía algunas cervezas normales y Doombar era una pinta perfecta. Los otros estaban fuera, pero al camarero no parecía importarle girar los clips de la bomba.

Sadly, as I was a reasonably frequent Balans guest, I am compelled to write a bad review. Cocktails were fabulicios, but alas, that is where the fabulous ended. The menu seems reduced, so we picked bites and sides; croquettes, mac cheese, chicken strips and skin on chips. These I sum up as cold, cold, burned and old. We watched the burned chicken, croquettes and chips in the windows for at least 15 minutes so they were stone cold, even the dishes, when we eventually persuaded the hard pushed waiter to bring g them to us. The chicken was black in places; however, the most inexcusable was the chips. No skin and very old. When I say old, the potatoes had clearly been cooked once and left for a day or two to go grey and powdery. Whether they were fried again on the day I do not know as they too, were cold. All in all, for £127, we had six cocktails and the disappointment of having to order a pizza when we got home. Really disappointing, as Balans used to he a bit if a staple of mine and only ten minutes away. Sorry, Balans, once loved, but from now on forgotten. I recommend the Bull next door feom now on.

Went for a wake, close to beckenham crematorium, hired the function room. Sandwiches and picky food were ok but not worth the amount they charge, staff very moody no condolences etc. Music was awful.

The restaurant has an amazing interior design, and the Italian waitress was lovely. Unfortunately 8£ for a dry almond croissant is too much even for London.

By far the worst steak I've ever had the pleasure of. Tuesday is steak night with the allocated menu provided for this "event". The steaks are the same as the menu just a tiny bit cheaper and for £11.50 I got a grisly chewy, medium rare piece of crop and a handful of chips....no additional accoutrements. Very disappointed, sort your steaks out JDW

The fish and chips were great. Nice environment created with music and decor. The attention was great and it is very well located

Ci sono stata ieri sera insieme ad un'amica . Era vicino al nostro alloggio ed entrate quasi per caso. Molto soddisfatte...e' uno dei fritti di pesce migliori. Io ho preso petto di pollo impanato con ciabatta!

Lovely spot in the veranda for a family birthday. Food was great and we got a gentle waiter (Max). Would recommend. Thanks

Delicious Sunday lunch, beautiful garden and friendly staff. It gets busy on a sunny day but food is worth the wait, reasonable prices and staff was very helpful. I chose the sunday sharing platter. What an amazing idea! Will definitely be back, you got to try cauliflower tart. It's super yummy!

Always get a nice sandwich at Subway

Sadly I have to leave this negative review. The food was bland and the fish and chips was so bad I returned it. The fish was burnt almost to a crisp I was surprised they even served it. The replacement fish was also burnt but maybe a little less so. I accepted it but with hindsight should have rejected it and asked for my money back. I complained to management and got an apology but no offer of money off. Unfortunate as on my previous visits the experience was positive but I don’t know if I will return after this.

La advertencia era que el vaso en la foto sucio por lo que bebió una cerveza orgánica de la botella, decente. El personal del bar y los clientes, incluido yo del polvo en el aire, aunque bonita chimenea. Entonces la comida, la burratta jalada parecía vómito aunque sabía mejor, el pollo coreano tenía poco sabor asiático y el único plato digno era el bacalao rebozado, así que quizás necesite atenerse a lo básico.

Low quality mass market pastries and adequate coffee. As disappointing as it is pretentious.

Delicious lunch, nice atmosphere, beautiful surroundings. Staff very friendly and helpful. Best of all, when I asked for a tea, I got it in a proper teapot! (Not just a teabag in a mug.) Looking forward to going again.
