The best restaurants serving British food in England

Amazing! First off, the staff are so friendly. They never hesitate to answer any questions and make you feel so welcome, no matter the day/time. The decor and the atmosphere are great. I keep finding new details to admire. Love the surprise in the ladies’ loo as well! 🤫✨ The new menu is to die for! Gorgeous. I hate to admit I’ve had two burgers in the space of a week but can’t resist. This isn’t bog standard stuff - this is a menu that’s been properly thought through and they’ve thought outside the box! Unique things I haven’t seen before - super tasty. Try it all. The cocktail menu is equally fab - loads of choice and beautifully presented.

Absolutely brilliant local cafe run by the very talented chef & owner Keith. Not only does he support the local community, he has a heart of gold and gave free lunches for school children during the Covid lockdown nightmares! Dog friendly and highly recommended xx

Amazing ice cream! A big bonus for us was that it was suitable for our nut-allergic son, who almost never gets this sort of ice cream treat. The lady was very knowledgeable about her ingredients as it’s homemade, and made sure she got a fresh scoop for him too. He declared it the best ice cream ever! The coffee was also delicious, piping hot & served in beautiful eco-friendly cups with different designs. Highly recommend and not just for the summer, the hot chocolate looked amazing too and there was a lovely selection of gifts in the shop.

Our first visit to Deacons Bank. We knew we wouldn’t be disappointed. Simon is the most talented chef I have met. A visit DB is a must for every foodie. We will be back again soon. Thank you Simon and the team at Deacons Bank.

What a treasure! Our party of seven over three generations were warmly welcomed and quickly served. Having drinks and food served to the table by train was an absolute delight and kept the children entranced. Excellent food in a truly unique setting.

Great food and great people, very friendly. Service was great and quick. Couldn't have asked for better. Really enjoyed our Sunday Carvery and will definitely be returning. Thanks again.

Just wonderful, walked in to a busy coffee shop with great service and coffee. Stayed for a while whilst doing emails and waiting for a friend. Just a great experience

Lovely surroundings, excellent service and reasonably priced well-made coffee. My brother and I are on a surfing trip and have made this our morning coffee stop. Well worth a visit and getting an alcohol licence this week which adds another dimension.

What a wonderful place with beautiful food, atmosphere and views over the canal. I had never been here before but I will most definitely be going again. I had the set lunch menu with cauliflower and onion soup with bread for starters which was absolutely delicious and I would recommend it to anyone. And for my main I had the steak, I never eat steak out as I find its never cooked to my liking but on this occasion I have to say I was proven wrong and it was absolutely delicious, I'm a convert lol. The lovely Marco was friendly and polite and looked after us extremely well...thank you

Brilliant find. Wonderful service and food was amazing. I was with my daughter who lives nearby and she will be visiting again

This is the 4th time we have dined at Meadowsweet since it opened in 2020. We have loved every visit and we agree with other reviewers that it is getting better and better. From start to finish the experience is outstanding. A relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, impeccable friendly service, beautiful and delicious food with courses that change regularly - yesterday there were two courses that were new this week, including the most incredible trio of strawberry dessert - and a good wine list that covers a range of prices (i.e. not all super pricey). It seems clear that this is run by people who are at the top of their game and love what they do, and that makes it easy to love it too. I had a smile on my face all evening! I am coeliac and felt catered for just as well as my non-coeliac husband. Their home made bread, both normal and gluten free, is some of the best bread we have ever eaten! It’s a 2hr journey for us so we always do their dine and stay option - rooms are comfy and well appointed with nice touches of luxury, and we feel it’s well worth it for an amazing night away. This is in my top 2 Michelin star restaurants in the UK: I cannot recommend it enough.

Easy parking as always. Warm welcome from Tanya. We enjoyed paninis and baguettes, teas, soft drinks and iced coffee with icecream floating on top! Prices always great

Great place, we were sent for breakfast from the local inn, and presented with the best breakfast we’d ever been offered! Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, well used by the locals, (always a good sign) dog friendly - a real treat from beginning to end - many thanks

I would just like to thank Owen's for a fantastic night me and Michael's been really enjoyed it the meal was perfect would highly recommend it

Visited with my partner and sad to say it was very poor quality. The potatoes were very small with floppy skins not baked at all. I had cheese and beans which I left most of it and my partner had bolognese. Both were small servings and not very warm. My partner had a really upset somach within about half an hour and felt really ill. We had to go home. Whilst we were in there at least another 3 customers remarked at the poor quality and left their food uneaten. Sorry but will not be visiting again.
