The best restaurants serving British food in London

Magical evening. We started with drinks at Eve bar and had some delicious cocktails. We then went upstairs to the dining room and the staff talked us through the menu. They were fantastic at adapting dishes to meet my dietary requirements. I’m very sensitive to certain flavours in additional to allergies. They couldn’t do enough to make my experience as enjoyable as possible. Even taking out the things I didn’t like and not just allergies. I wasn’t treated as fussy but as a diner that deserved the same experience as anyone else. Every dish was incredible. Full of surprises and creativity. Flavours and dishes were combinations that were completely unique but every one was perfectly balanced and executed. If we weren’t aware of the zero waste ethos you would never know the beautiful additions to dishes was a product of maintaining this policy. Nothing was there for the sake of it, every element elevated the dishes we were served. Service from both the waiting staff and the sommelier was at the highest level. Wine pairings and cocktail recommendations were perfectly matched to the dishes. Each were unusual and surprising, adding to the experience. A wonderful night all round, worth every penny. I can’t wait to return.

Edward was amazing, top shelf service with top shelf food. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Will definitely be back…if Edward is working!

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the staff looked after us fabulously. Even so far as giving us a delicious piece of chocolate cake.

Had a fantastic lunch today at the new Barnes restaurant. Stunning food and superior customer service as always, thank you to Craig. Love this place. If you are local or even further afield, you should make a bee line for this wonderful neighbourhood home.

My favourite spot! Always try to call in when passing! Staff super friendly and coffee is wonderful. Don't forget to check out the brownie! DELISH

Top class pie and mash shop and one of my favourites. Friendly staff, not too expensive and the food is always fresh. Highly recommended.

This place was awesome! Great atmosphere, inventive and delicious cocktails, and an amazing menu. The attention to detail was incredible. We went twice in a row! Don't miss this spot in Shoreditch!

I've been coming here since they opened and have been getting their takeaway afternoon tea since lockdown which has always been lovely. I have always received 4 slices for each of the sandwiches however I'm really disappointed that they have now cut the sandwiches to just 2 slices of each, so basically just 1 sandwich per person instead of 2. For £34.00 to collect, it's not really worth it now unfortunately. Also asked for no currents in the scones but received ones with them so they couldnt be eaten. Still tastes lovely though.

I've always struggled to find haggis in London (for what may be obvious reasons). So I was thrilled to stumble across Makars Gourmet Mash bar which combines two of my favorite foods: haggis and mashed potatoes. And I was not disappointed! The service was fantastic, the meal came out fast and hot, and I loved every bite. Paired with a rhubarb soda that hit the spot. Will make sure I return when I come back to London.

Why does this place have such a high rating? The cafe just doesn't look right - the tables are dirty, the food is very plain and dry, when I asked for ketchup or sauce, they came late and almost empty... One old lady who was serving there was a bit weird... she kept calling me her best friend, then her son, she was kind of sucking up to me and not letting me eat in peace... I don't know, maybe in China where she is from, it's normal, but it bothered me

Cuando en Londres tienes que probar un poco de té, si hace frío o calor, mi favorito es el té frío con hielo. Así que cuando estoy en Camden siempre termino en este bar de té, gran vista sobre la comida callejera, y simplemente disfrutando de mi tiempo en Londres y este es un lugar para relajarse. El personal es tan amable, y te dejará oler los tés si estás interesado en comprar algunos, he estado comprando el: fresa y mango reventado un par de veces, y hacer un té helado en casa, con un poco de mango o jarabe de fresa en él. Tengo un poco de sabor lleno de sandía, y probará tanto caliente como frío. Hasta la próxima cuando esté en Londres 🥳

Pie and mash with liquor as it should. Traditional and bang on in the heart of east London. The cuppa was perfect too. Worth searching out. Great friendly staff.

Food was amazing. There is lot of variety of food and Renu provided good service. Restaurant look is appealing.

Very clean, staff attentive and efficient. Prices a little high for the elderly as they only want small portions but are charged the same, they need to be able to have a children's menu also. I personally have cut down the amount of times I now visit

This was our second afternoon tea at Tea Darling, and it was just as excellent as the first. We love the intimacy of the small tearoom, and the quaint assorted crockery. Pam is the perfect host, she is so friendly and attentive. The food is fantastic and plentiful, from the sandwiches to the cakes to the scones with clotted cream. Do yourself a favour- skip the over-priced and stuffy afternoons teas in the city center and come here for the real deal!
