The best restaurants serving British food in England

Once again we had a fantastic evening at The Old Stamp House. Lovely atmosphere, great staff, and of course the food was perfect as usual. And that was matched with some beautiful wines too. Thanks for making it a wonderful evening for my wife's birthday! We're just gutted we don't live closer to visit more often!

The Salamander was recommended to us by other guest who were staying at our hotel as this was the best place to eat in Mevagissey. They did say we had to book early, as this was our last day we thought we had missed our opportunity. On the off chance that they had a spare table for that night we called at the restaurant that afternoon. The Salamander in tucked away up one of the narrow streets, but easy enough to find. The lady who answered the door to us was welcoming and invited us in while she checked the list. We were lucky they did have an early opening so we booked. Well we were not disappointed. On arriving we were again met with a friendly smiling welcome and shown to our table. The Staff here are friendly and very professional. The menu had some very interesting dishes and there was a good wine list to complement the food. Our food when it arrived was excellently presented and we hoped it tasted as good as it look. It was even better, my pork fillet was done to perfection, soft and tender and melted in my mouth, have not had as good anywhere else. We had a wonderful evening out at a great restaurant. It finished our few days in Mevagissey perfectly. Would definitely recommend dining here if you are in Mevagissey.

Never open, literally 5th time I checked. No sign nothing.

4 of us stopped lunch. Really was very good. I had their Turkish eggs, which were so good I got up half way through to ask what herbs and spices they had made it with. Would fully recommend.

I can't fault anything about my visit, food was hot, fresh and extremely tasty delivered by an efficient group of pleasant waitress staff. Sadly the venue is closing tomorrow, a sad loss for people wanting a great meal

Although it is along some country roads once there the welcome is warm and friendly and the food is always really wonderful. We travel from Southampton to get there and it has been well worth every mile on each of the half dozen occasions we have been there so far...and counting!!

Absolutely lovely place, amazing food, friendly staff.

Great place for healthy food whether to eat I or take away.

Stayed for a wedding. The castle and garden were stunning and the service throughout was incredible. Cannot recommend it enough. Beautiful.

Went to my son's wedding which we had a good time because we made that time good. The food service was good. What lets the place down is that signage could be much better if you didn't have satellite navigation to find the place. On the grounds same again just make the signage stand out much better it would save people getting confused. ONE THING I DIND UNFAIR TO LADIES there is no where in your manual that LADIES can't wear bathrobe to breakfast after getting makeup done but not ready to get dressed then your staff choosing who they turn away because not all staff implement that procedure if it is something to follow put it in your manual. And the other thing you need to put up signs restricting speed down to 10 mph because one of your member of staff was doing roughly doing 25mph and nearly smashed into my car as I was about to leave and they should know better than anybody else.

Thanks for the coffee! Spot on.

We have just enjoyed a terrific take away afternoon tea. This included a selection of sandwiches, cheese scone, half porkpie, tray bakes and a jam and cream scone. All were home baked and freshly made. Previously we have eaten the afternoon tea, and other meals, in the tea shop, and everything was delicious! The team there are lovely and the service is friendly and welcoming.

First time for my son and I, nice and relaxed atmosphere, nice friendly staff, service spot on, food was fantastic, could only manage 2 courses, nice beer, Piggy Pilsner, we will return.

Favourite eatery in W Sussex. Food was absolutely great as usual. Fine food in a relaxed atmosphere. I'm so glad they change the menu so often as we can regularly experience different meals. The extra little morsels certainly whet your appetite in anticipation... yummy!! Well be back soon.

First time visit and the food was very good. Lovely friendly staff . We would highly recommend the boat shed and will definitely be visiting again.
