The best restaurants serving British food in England

It always a pleasure to visit this very friendly tea room and enjoy some of the wonderful cakes, as well as the well cooked breakfasts and lunches that are on offer. Ben’s lemon drizzle and poppy seed cake that I enjoyed yesterday was food for the gods. I know of no other such business that when they make a hot chocolate that you get a cup of it, and alongside it a jug of the same; both for a very reasonable price. Brilliant customer service and I can’t wait to go back for another visit. The venue can also be hired for private functions and I often notice as I drive past in the evenings that such events are taking place. Dennis Usher

This small out-of-the-way cafe is run by the 6th form students from Billing Brook School, Northampton. The menu offered is light meals, e.g. jacket potatoes, sandwiches, baguettes etc. with a good variety of fillings including vegetarian options. The coffee is delicious and the home-made cakes looked good, but I resisted. The atmosphere is inviting, with a lovely outdoor area, and the whole place is spotlessly clean, The staff and their tutors are really nice, and very attentive. Would definitely recommend if you are local or visiting Northampton and would like a quiet out of the town centre (Eastern District) bite to eat. I look forward to my next visit. Open Mon-Thurs 9.30-14.30.

Lovely little place, so friendly and reasonably priced. It’s not just a cafe but also a shop where you can get party supplies and order birthday cakes. Excellent breakfasts and afternoon tea (think you have to book afternoon tea) and the cakes are really good. My Friday morning choice for a bacon sandwich takeaway!! Last time I went in there I heard someone say they did cake decorating parties for children which sounded a great idea 👍🏻. Don’t let the lack of parking straight outside put you off, park on one of the nearby streets or down closer to Titanic mills and have a walk on the canal before or after!

What a wonderful idea to have afternoon tea delivered! I tried them out based on the recommendation of someone and wasn't disappointed. We went for the ploughman's platter with the add on dessert tray. There was so much choice in the platter - and so much food! So nice to be able to enjoy something like this during lockdown. Even once lockdown is over, the platter would be great to enjoy as a picnic with a bottle of wine. Have ordered the afternoon tea for mum. Lovely family run business. Will definitely use them again and highly recommend.

Sonia and the team are so welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Very tasty breakfasts, all cooked fresh, presented well, and great portions too.

Fantastic range of cakes all made on site. Slices, or large cakes for Parties, Weddings Birthdays etc All fresh and very reasonably priced. All to take away.

Just passing through on way to Hebden Bridge. Deceiving front, just looks like a take-away. New seating upstairs but no lift. New business, it had been a chip shop. The burger was rich and thick, beautifully cooked with a fresh seeded bun and crispy lettuce, tomatoes and onion if required. I'm not a fan of fries as I like thick chunky chips but these were very special. I could get used to them. The young lady who served us was delightful and made us feel really looked after. Hubby had the chicken breast burger with no salad and he said it was delicious. The coffee was okay and for a total bill of nine pounds I was well pleased. They have only been open 7 weeks but deserve to do well. Good Luck to them

Looked for a dog friendly place for a cup of coffee on our day trip to Lyme. Located near the Cobb, we had coffee and some very good (and large slice of) Dorset cake. Really friendly service and free dog treats too.

Delicious food. So tasty and fresh. The meatballs are so succulent, the chicken lovely, non fatty chunks. Tzatziki is very cool and the feta in the Greek salad is so creamy. Delivery is on time and nice delivery people. I once won a free meal in their weekly Facebook page giveaway. I was so excited. Ha.

I was enjoying the Swim up and down the lengths a great pool while peter was watching and when finished got chained and we both went in for coffee and cake we had a great time

Had an amazing time during our recent visit. The espresso con panna was exceptional, truly a delightful treat. What stood out most was the attentiveness of the staff; they were incredibly welcoming and ensured our experience was top-notch. A great place to visit for anyone seeking quality coffee and excellent service. Highly recommend!

Ordered cream tea for 6 people. Such a brilliant product, freshly prepared delicious food, beautifully presented and great quality. The communication was excellent and I highly recommend. Can’t wait to try a picnic box. Thank you!

Nice friendly people and wonderful grub, used many times and go out of my way to avoid others. Quality every time. My face breakfast spot

Souper Toasty is a Take-Away ONLY. They offered two choices of homemade soup and / two choices of toasties, one vegetarian, one meat. The soup does have an option of being accompanied with sliced baguette. It was warm, hearty and a healthy nutritious lunch choice. A new business that opened during a pandemic - deserves support 💟
