The best restaurants serving British food in North West

So helpful. I have a food allergy to Alliums, my friend rang in advance to inform the restaurant and they were Amazing, I had food prepared and cooked especially and it was delicious, the chef came out to speak to me to see if there was anything else I required, absolutely amazing service, I was made to feel welcome, service was fast and food popping hot. Perfect xx

Popped in for breakfast when on a day trip to Ambleside. We had a small breakfast and a bacon & sausage roll with a pot of tea and a latte. The food was good, as were the drinks. Staff very friendly and dog friendly. The price was high really, £24 for the above but it is the same all over.

Visited on Saturday with my granddaughter friendly staff seated immediately without booking meal was nice too would definitely return

Had a great lunch at Brewers Lakeland Gate, Carlisle. Food nicely prepared and hot, plates were hot as well. Haddock and chips very good, with a good size piece of Haddock and chips that weren't dry or cold. Mixed grill very good, great value with plenty of meat. Friendly staff

October 30th 31st Thanks for letting me and my little dog in for dinner the last 2 nights . Food great bar staff very friendly and very dog friendly as well. Good choice of drinks and food and not over priced. Thanks.

Used to be pretty good, now understaffed which affects the standard of service. Breakfast food is left under the heat lamps so dries out and considering that there is not a lot on the counters , does not make for an enjoyable breakfast. Not having enough cups for the hot drinks is not good enough either. The girl looked at the empty tray and walked away. Dinner was not much better. Order was taken quickly but took in excess of 45 minutes to arrive. Sat waiting for dessert for about another 30 minutes. terribly slow service for no reason as the place was empty.

First time at this restaurant since it moved. Very impressed with food and service. Menu has good choices. All food arrived hot and was of good quality. The portion sizes were also good value for money. Based on our experience would certainly recomend.

The location has parking, reasonable space around the tables etc. Food was fine, however roast beef was overcooked to falling to bits level. Drinks- the refillable soft drink station was obviously out/very low on gas for the soda part of the dispenser. Despite pointing this out, the situation did not improve. Coupled with a lecture about putting two tables together for eight seats being a fire hazard (table had been booked for seven people) this was an unwelcoming experience.

Lovely place lovely atmosphere very friendly staff Elisha was our server ❤️ food was hot and enjoyable we will be back again soon

Absolutely rank! Roastiest are frozen aunt bessies, turkey is borderline quorn, veg as soggy as wet tissue and the gravy is like tar mac.. I won’t even get into the state of the Yorkshire puddings. Topped off by arl coffin dodgers moaning about kids being in a family friendly pub. St Helens for you.

Came here for a cheeky carvery two days ago and I loved every bite! Service was great and the vibe was very homely. Thank you to all the staff!

Arrived for lunch with my son asked if I could sit in a empty booth and was told no its booked Was shown to a table by the toilets next to three other tables with guests so was not desirable I asked for another table please and was told I could sit in the bar area . Jodey told me all the other vacant tables were booked for bookings frankly I disbelieve this comment but it was her manner of sarcastically speaking that I felt was unacceptable with a smirk and a thankyou when I complained and asked he name Sorry I come out for lunch not to be treated like a child at school being told you will sit where I tell you attitude Had a lovely lunch elsewhere and sorry to say I won't be back so soon to have such poor service

Fantastic food! Was cooked to perfection! Service by Jess was amazing took time out of her day to have a chat to us! Absolute star and asset to the team!

As a coeliac it is hard finding places I trust with my food. The Spinner & Bergamot is a delight, they take my auto immune condition seriously and the food is always 5 star. The pub has a real countryside vibe, with a fine dining area at the back. There is great outdoor space for the kids to play, and the staff are always very welcoming.

Just had a couple of new items on their menu for lunch which were thoroughly enjoyed. Emma, Nathan & Tyler's service was excellent today specially under extremely busy circumstances (funeral wake). My husband and are frequent visitors to the "Oak" and are always satisfied with thefriendly staff and atmosphere.
