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

First time visiting the area called in for fish and chips at lunch time eat inside found the food excellent very friendly staff. Will call again when in the area. Thanks

This is a great place for music, delicious fresh food and yummy cakes. This is where I love to hang out with my friends and neighbours. I'm so happy that my lovely local arts hub has returned after a year of COVID-19 closures and crazy staffing issues. Looking forward to more of the live music events and supper clubs of 2019.

A menudo viajamos a Otley solo para visitar este pequeño y popular snack bar para desayunar. Es muy pintoresco, con vajilla y cubertería desiguales. Se siente como si estuvieras en la casa del propietario, que es como si estuvieras. El desayuno siempre viene caliente con la opción de tostadas o pan frito a un lado. El propietario también tiene un puesto al aire libre que vende libros, rompecabezas y otros accesorios: los ingresos se destinan a la ambulancia aérea de Yorkshire. Solo hay alrededor de 8 mesas, pero a menudo hemos llegado con el lugar lleno de locales. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar para un desayuno abundante antes de experimentar una visita a Otley.

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.

Food was amazing, very reasonably priced! Staff were very friendly & made my hangover feel a lot better 😂 will now be regulars 😊

we have visited Coffee Maison Leicester now for the 3rd time and each time we visit our experience has always been excellent. Coffee Maison always make us feel very welcome. A small cosy place just perfect with great food from panini to pizza and absolutely love their pancakes. Keep up the great work and thank you for your great service !

Just a lovely little break mid shopping. One cappuccino, a caramel Frostino, a white chocolate and raspberry muffin and a salted caramel muffin! Perfect, not much I can add but we enjoyed it.

First visit as the place opened recently. Great decor and quality of the food was amazing. Professional staff with caring service. Do recommend to all my colleagues

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.
