The best restaurants serving British food in London

As a bartender I am pretty fussy when it comes to coffee, however I was very impressed at St Clements also by the friendly service of Freya who was very helpful.

Great beer and atmosphere with helpful and friendly staff. It was open when our hotel bar was shut, and is a really fun place to go. We didn't eat there, but if I go to London again I would try it.

Always such a pleasure going to the Marian Anderson. Food is great, staff are friendly and drinks are cold what more could you ask for.

This has been closed for about a year, doing a refurb. but taking ages to do this, not sure what it will be when eventually finished

I am a regular visitor to this coffee sandwich bar. The food is fresh, excellent service with a smile and not over priced compared to other cafe's in the area. It has a warm atmosphere (unless anybody leaves the door open).

£50 for rubbish, avoid. You’ll find better sandwiches and cake in the town. No gluten or diary free products so don’t bother looking at the allergy menu

Enjoyed Indian afternoon tea at this hotel. From booking to the day they were very helpful. Thank you to Jeet for taking the booking and Vikash for serving us on the day. Very friendly and helpful.

After 7 years absence and bad reviews we needed a late lunch and thought we’d risk it. Was delighted with the friendly helpful service, atmosphere and food. Will definitely revisit.

First class management, and first class service from Medo. Really enjoyed the waiter's recommendations and had a really nice anniversary lunch here.

Estuve alojandome varios dias en el hotel Maitrise Maida Vale, y como este restaurante estaba practicamente dentro del hotel, he comido/cenado aqi un par de veces. La comida super buena, no tienen mucha variedad en la carta, pero todo lo que pedimos estaba delicioso. El personal super simpatico y atento. Y el precio bastante bien.

En un día caluroso en Woolwich tengo que decir que paro aquí por un panini y un par de tazas de té. El servicio fue rápido amable y la comida era abundante. El panini de pollo asado era bueno y los acompañamientos justo.Todo estaba impecable, mesas sillas loos, etc.Una pequeña cosa: no estoy seguro de tener OJ para 2. 50 - Espero exprimido fresco.Gracias por atender tan bien a un cliente aleatorio.

One women was making my sandwich while eating a Peace of Salomi of the counter... also they dont use gloves and they were touching my sausage and cheese while preparing. And there was hair in my food I won't be going back I will stick to my Tescos sandwiches

been eating Pie and Mash for all of my 60+ years. Been to a few shops in my time but Cockney's in Croydon beats the lot. Great food. traditional setting and friendly staff and customers. it takes me back to my East End roots. You walk into a shop full of strangers, get a smile and excellent grub. by the time you finish eating you are in a shop wide conversation. You leave a room full of friends, feeling nicely stuffed and looking forward to your next visit.

Arrived at 3.30pm and restaurant still had people in but could see staff looked liked they were packing up. Ordered tuna melt and 2 teas price outrageous just under £20! Food arrived had to send back as was semi cold staff didnt seem to care. Food came back warm. During our time in restaurant could here an argument in the kitchen and heard "what they expect to come in here at 4 and then complain" obvious was talking about us as they pointed and looked in our direction. When we left I said have you a problem ? They looked sheepish and said if you want to slag your customers off maybe do it quietly and dont point at us when someone asks who you were talking about and get your facts right we did not complain - would you eat semi hot food. No. They did say sorry just had busy day said no excuse. Wont be visiting again.

Caught a few beers here after work (note - it's now branded as Beechwood) - they were OK but expensive. £14.40 for two regular beers - get over yourself! It was convenient as it was near the office (and typical clientele) but I wouldn't go there otherwise.
