The best restaurants serving British food in London

A great place for Sunday lunch, close to Covent Garden. Amazing food, good service and really good value.

We used to go to The Hitchcock when it first had a decent restaurant. In the beginning it was fine but gradually prices went up and favourite dishes disappeared off of the menu. My guess is that people stopped going because they mistook their potential audience. So we stayed away. With some trepidation we decided to give it a try because there was a new menu and different owners. We weren’t disappointed. We had starters from the snacks menu, which are well priced. I then had the best short rib of beef I’ve ever had. So much beef I couldn’t finish it but expertly cooked with excellent mash. My wife had the Pacific Prawns which looked - and she said they were - great. We had a nice bottle of wine and very good service from our server. We will certainly be back as what’s not to love. A very good restaurant and Epping Forest!

Such a perfect looking pub with great in- and outside seating - great for drinks. Food was terrible :( bread stale, pie dry, salad main only had 3 ingredients with burnt halloumi. Unnecessarily disappointing

La comida estaba absolutamente golpeando. Salió el nuevo menú y pedí el cordero kofta que estaba absolutamente delicioso omg. 10 / 10 volvería a pedirlo al 100%. Definitivamente vale la pena el precio también. También pedí el melba sundae de melocotón y frambuesa que era tan refrescante y los sabores combinaban tan bien. Podría hacer con un poco menos de migaja, pero estaba absolutamente golpeando. Gritarle a Titas, que era una de las chefs del día, el joven tenía unos modales encantadores. Cosas encantadoras. Recomendaría ir a comer o cenar con la familia, o incluso solo.

Fantastic pub, epic food, the pizzas are amazing and the staff are really warm and friendly :)

La qualité tel que les saveurs et la présentation des plats ont été à la hauteur de mes attentes. L’ambiance, le décors et le service aussi.

I went to Toby carvery today it was my first time coming to Toby carvery. It was really nice and helpful and the food was very tasty and nice and fresh the meat was very nice and the veg was good too I like to say a big thank you to Anthony he was lovely and he help my dad out to the table. It was so nice hey mate fresh pot of cauliflower cheese, without no cheese for my mum I will definitely come back to this toby carvery

Had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant. We had a Gin Master Class booked as a part of a voucher and it was amazing! A special thanks goes to the head bartender Aron who made this Master Class an unforgettable experience. His passion for the job, experience and knowledge about drinks are profound. We also had a shared platter with different kinds of dishes served and both of us were really satisfied with all the food we got. Very delicious and without a single fault. Both me and my husband can honestly recommend this Gordon Ramsey Bread Street Kitchen and Bar at Battersea Power station. Make sure you book Gin Master Class for you and your friends as you ‘ll have a great evening :)

He utilizado restaurantes Beefeater durante muchos años y no me importó pagar ese poco más, ya que sentí que la comida era superior a otros competidores, sin embargo, las últimas veces que he visitado llego a la conclusión de que esto ahora no es el caso, la cantidad en su plato ha disminuido al hecho de que un plato principal ahora no está llenando a mi esposa que no es un gran comedor tuvo que obtener un lado de papas fritas con su principal para satisfacer su hambre. Además de que esta última visita nos recibieron con muy buen compañero, y se refirió como compañero para toda la duración de nuestra estancia, esta no es la manera correcta de saludar a los clientes de pago, a pesar de que solo tres conjuntos de huéspedes que finalmente conseguimos pedido de bebidas tomó que tomó 15 minutos para llegar mientras el personal estaba charlando y tomando café , después de unos 25 minutos nuestro pedido de comida fue tomado fue un desastre. Hace un par de semanas estuve en el Brecks en Rotherham y pedí un filete mediano a bien cuando lo corté salía sangre así que se lo dije a la camarera y ella lo llevó de vuelta a la cocina y volvió como carbón obviamente el chef no estaba contento con que el filete fuera enviado de vuelta, me sorprende que tengas clientes

The Newman Arms, dating back to 1730 in Fitzrovia, is a true London treasure that blends authentic old-world charm with exceptional food and service. My visit was elevated by the warm, historic atmosphere—think rustic wooden beams, exposed brick walls, and a cozy fireplace, all steeped in the kind of literary lore tied to George Orwell’s *Nineteen Eighty-Four* and *Keep the Aspidistra Flying*. The white tablecloths, a rare touch for such a traditional pub, added a refined yet inviting feel, making it perfect for a memorable date night. The fish pie and beef pie, crafted by Chef Carlo, were the stars of the show. These are proper old English pies—flaky, golden pastry encasing rich, flavorful fillings. The beef pie, infused with Truman’s Runner ale, was hearty and satisfying, though some might notice a slight tomato tang that tweaks the classic recipe. The fish pie, paired with creamy mash and seasonal veg, was equally outstanding, showcasing Carlo’s mastery of traditional British fare. Our waiter, Oliver, was an absolute delight. His spot-on food recommendations made the meal even better, and his sharp sense of humor kept us laughing throughout the evening. His attentive, friendly service turned a great meal into a genuinely memorable experience. Sipping Pol Roger Champagne at just £70 a bottle—a steal for Central London—was the cherry on top, adding a touch of luxury without the hefty price tag. The drink menu also impressed with Truman’s cask ales like Runner Best Bitter and Swift Golden Ale, alongside craft beers and fine wines, catering to all tastes. The snug basement and first-floor dining room enhance the intimate, historic vibe, though the small, closely packed tables upstairs can get a tad noisy. Still, it’s a minor quirk in an otherwise stellar experience. The Newman Arms, with its rich history as a former brothel and literary haunt, Carlo’s incredible pies, and Oliver’s warm, witty service, is a real gem of a pub—a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic British charm in the heart of London.

Excellent meal as always. It was a great place to celebrate our son’s 18th birthday and our waiter Lino really looked after us.

Watermans in Richmond is just 100 yards from the riverside. Though it's a small inn, the meals and desserts are average..Chicken is a bit dry. but service is excellent.

The Bull & Gate is housed in a fabulous Victorian pub building which has ben beautifully restored. A decent range of beers on tap. Staff are all friendly and helpful. We were there to watch football on Amazon Prime. Unfortunately, the pub's technology let them down - lots of screen freezing, buffering, sound not in synch with screens. They kindly moved us to a table with a slightly better screen, but we still had to have the match playing on our phones in order to reliably keep up with the action. hopefully they'll sort this out as otherwise it's a great pub, and good place to watch sport (the fact we could watch with no hitches on our phones using mobile data suggests the fault is with the pubs tech/broadband, not Amazon's broadcasting).

Londres es una ciudad cara , encontrar un sitio como este con buena calidad de sándwiches, aunque fríos, café , postres y bollería a razón de 10 libras por persona para mi ha sido una buena opción Ademas permite poder cargar celulares , usar el baño que está muy limpio y descansar un rato de las largas caminatas por la ciudad

The service from staff was good. They should do fresh juices will increase business. The toilets should be checked regularly. The food was nothing special in quality. Decor was ok
