The best restaurants serving British food in England

We visit Belton every year, and last year, discovered this wonderful place! Tucked away in the hamlet of Welby - off the beaten track [use a Sat Nav!] is the fabulous Crown and Anchor. This is a proper country pub with the addition of it's own Smokehouse - and what and amazing addition! We visited twice this week, it was so good... The menu is extensive and varied, with a combination of tradition British pub food and their smokehouse specialities. All extremely well served, presented and tasty, not to mention the generous portions. You do not want to miss the rack of ribs [full or half - although the half is what most places call a full rack ] - be prepared to be full! And the amazing Smoking Board, consisting of Ribs, Pulled Pork and Korean Chicken - all from the smokehouse, accompanied by their hand cut chips - hot and crispy and soft inside, coleslaw, extra BBQ sauce and dressed salad. Finger bowls and extra napkins are provided and needed! Also available are a fabulous range of very different burgers - including the triple - beef, pork and chicken - oh my! Starters are available in abundance, as are desserts - but we have never had room for either - but they look fab Beers and wine selections are plentiful and varied as well as reasonably priced. Service was attentive and excellent - couldn't fault it. As I said - you do not want to miss this place - just north of Grantham. Enjoy!!

Mainly snacks, such as wraps and toasties. The food is prepared to order, with precision and great attention to detail. The restaurant is extremely clean, and the hygiene standard was extremely high, both in the seating area and behind the counter. Very friendly, polite staff. Oh that every snack bar was like this ! Seating is limited currently to five tables. Take-aways available.

Great food as always ! Prices are fantastic one of the cheapest arounds . Staff are super friendly . We go a least every couple of weeks

Great place for relaxing family meal, excellent menu choice and great service. The butchers block and steak burger were amazing. Will definitely visit again soon.

The hot chocolate is really good and taste and the staff are great help you with everything you need and help you with commutation skills and customer services

Popped in near closing time on a rainy Sunday to be greeted by a real surprise. The Nook maybe pint-sized, but the short wine list is beautifully curated and the dinky space is welcoming, attractive and contemporary. The Pinot Noir was a fave of the server and is now a fave of mine.

Amazing experience. The food was first rate. A selection of tapas from the a la carte menu. Not the usual boring tapas but original options that were hearty tasty and great value. Additionally we had mains from the timeless classic menu. All in all the meal was excellent quality and coming over from Belgium I can honestly say that the service was one of the best I have had in the U.K.! I definitely want to return here.

Dropped in for a quick bite before going to cinema across the street. What a lovely surprise - We both had cocktail sausages with a honey mustard sauce and onion bhajis, freshly cooked and very tasty. Helpful service and a nice place, very clean. I'd love to go back there, and will next time I'm in Barnstaple.

Today I visited the southsea positive eats on Palmerston Road. From first entering to leaving the whole experience was brilliant. So fresh & clean in there and the girls working were so friendly and gave me advice in what to order etc. I had a boost juice & a build your own bowl which was so worth the price. All fresh ingredients and so much flavour. Will definitely be visiting again!

Staff are friendly and always have a good variety of pastry's and snacks. Have eaten hear many times and never have any complaints

Grub Hub is an excellent family run sandwich bar. There are a few outside tables in a pleasant pedestrian alley. The couple running the cafe were very friendly and accommodating, being happy to make up sandwiches to order with whatever fillings we wanted. Although there are officially no toilets for customers, they were happy to let us use theirs.

Visited the newly opened Hideaway Cafe for breakfast. The breakfast sandwich was packed with bacon, very reasonably priced and high quality, staff friendly, will definitely return.

This unique venue has a small cafe at the front of the building, and a specialist cake-preparation area at the rear. The company specialises in the preparation of celebration cakes for weddings, birthdays or any other special occasion. I enjoyed a brunch meal; all items were delicious, well-cooked and presented, with high-quality ingredients. There is an extensive menu, and I can highly recommend the cafe for a light meal. The venue has been operating for a decade, which demonstrates the high quality of all its products.
