The best restaurants serving British food in London

Delay in taking food order, had trouble serving more than one table at a time.

The Food is beautifully prepared and all lovely fresh ingredients. I have had 2-3 dishes in the last two weeks and very satisfied overall. The tuna toasted sandwich was especially delicious with thin roasted peppers and salad giving lots of flavour. However, please may I just request that the Hollandaise has some more flavour added - Thank you.

Dreadful place, I came in, it's a self-service type of place, you have to find a menu yourself when queue to the bar to place an order. I asked for a glass of wine that was £8 on the menu and they tried to charge me £11.90 for it. I asked why and none seemed to be able to explain, neither did they apologies. The staff behind the counter was pretty rude so I left.

I went to city cafe for the breakfast because it was included with our stay! It’s a full buffet breakfast with great service! I went only on the first day because menu remains the same!

After visiting the Churchill War Room Museum, we decided we needed to stop and have something light to eat. The Switchroom Cafeteria is located within the museum. It is a small cafeteria that is open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It offers classic British fare, home-cooked pies, stews and tarts along with several deli sandwich choices, fresh salads and perfectly prepared soups. They have good coffee and an assortment of teas. The prices are reasonable. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed a freshly made Sweet Potato & Carrot Soup with 2 slices of white bread and butter (total £ 4.65). It was a delicious stop!

They cook the best skinless cod, away from the seaside, that can be found locally but the CHIPs!!! By the time you sit down to eat them at home, they become dry and shrivelled and there are just so many of them, that we don't have plates big enough. I recommend asking for lots of salt and vinegar in the hope the moisture sweats some plumpness into them while they are wrapped up. The Fish still wins out over the local competition, where some places are still cash only, a disgrace in this day and age.

amazing place with nice view to a golf course

Definitely a hidden gem! You would never expect such a charming basement cellar from the generic entrance on a cute little pedestrian lane. But it’s a great surprise. Huge wine list! And Casey behind the bar was excellent and an expert with great recommendations and knowledge of wines. The entire staff seemed great and like they enjoyed being there - always a positive sign. Limited but interesting menu… lots of specials and tasting events. A place I will return to over and over.

Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra visita, el anfitrión explicó el menú y tuvo una velada encantadora. Teníamos el Baba Ghanouj, Arayes como el Mezze de arranque, y el Cordero Shawarma y el Cordero Kofta. Teníamos una botella de vino tinto Massaya Classic del Líbano. Gran valor y servicio realmente amable.

This place is spectacular. The room is elegant, the staff delightful and the menu is superb. I would have expected £100 main dishes in a place like this but the £15-40 prices were a wonderful surprise.

Food was okay, garlic cheese pizza bread was the winner! Staff were very attentive with the cutlery they couldn’t give us enough and were happy to just bring more and more.

Went here for dinner the first night we were in London. We liked it so much that we went here our last night too! Both times were weekdays—it’s a busy place and often fills up quickly as the work day ends. It’s a beautiful place, lots of history. Pick an open table, order at the bar. The cheeseburger is fantastic. Good beer selection. Delicious sticky toffee pudding!

This was a nice pub with a good atmosphere. We had a lovely meal in here. All four of us enjoyed it very much and may well return again.

Good food and excellent service. Lovely atmosphere!

Full English breakfast was delightful apart from the hash browns which were soggy Service a little on the slow side but overall my experience was worth while 😀
