The best restaurants serving British food in England

What a lovely cafe? Various options for the breakfast. Just love it.

The food is lovely. Anne is so friendly. Would definitely recommend and go back when in the area.

Had my dinner here today and thought I should probably write a google review at some point given how often I've visited over the years. The pressed lamb burger with sweet potato and red cabbage salad was just what I needed. This place is a hidden gem and more people in Sunderland and beyond should know about it. On a high street full of fast food and junk food outlets it stands alone as a fresh, healthy and good quality choice. Zoe is a friendly face and takes the time to get to know her regulars which I think is an added touch. Ask for an 'Anything Sandwich'...

Booked for an anniversary dinner but due to poorly child had to cancel the morning of. £45 charge to cancel a table within 48 hours! We hadn't even booked 48 hours in advance so I don't think they should be too worried about not filling the table. Rude and overpriced, won't be re-booking.

What a lovely little cafe. The best bacon sandwich I've had. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Just an outstanding place to stay! The owners think of everything and nothing is too much trouble. Luxurious yet affordable...

Went for sunday lunch and pudding, absolutely lovely meal and staff was very friendly, will be going back

Fabulous food and atmosphere. Really accommodating for a group of 9.

Fabulous 10 course tasting menu for lunch with friends. Superb cocktail to start. Very relaxed atmosphere and attention to detail. Friendly, knowledgable and efficient staff. 3 hours of enjoying excellent, tasty, interesting food. Recommended.

Honestly love going to Hern, the food, service and atmosphere is always perfect. The hosts are very knowledgeable in the food and wine. The atmosphere makes you feel as if you’re dining with friends making the small, intimate space comfortable.

Great service, delicious food and an intimate dining experience. This is what eating out should be. Well worth a visit. Excellent customer focus and a lovely atmosphere. We have made this our yearly Christmas meal venue and it never disappoints. I cannot wait for our Christmas visit this year!!!

Been going for around 4 year now and always enjoyed it, Alex always takes time and puts care into the food I've never once been disappointed, definitely recommend.

Precis: Wow! Excellent! Any other superlative you choose! Full review: What a wonderful gem of a find! From the start the welcome was warm and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for Gary, Donna and their team; what a diamond they have found in Jack! The quality of the furnishings is very high, the fittings top class and the home made biscuits in the bedroom were delicious! Even a welcome decanter of sherry to start off your stay! The hallway walls are adorned with award plaques from numerous organisations! The grounds were extensive and very well kept. We had read about the wild red squirrels and hoped we may get to spot one - no fears there; we watched them running around the garden and feeder each day! Now for the food! Absolutely excellent! Each evening started at 7pm with canapés and good conversation with fellow guests, most of whom seem to be repeat visitors, with good reason! Gary is very personable and quite the bon viveur, his knowledge of wine is excellent, after all by his own admission he has been in the game for a good number of years! The four course dinner menu is set, no choices, but the menu is on display each morning and I'm sure that alternatives could be organised if enough notice were given. Each course was exquisite, served piping hot (where appropriate!) and presented beautifully, as was the table in general. Service was efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was just as good! Hazel Bank has seven rooms and the restaurant is open only to residents. All this means that each guest gets very personal, and personable, service from start to finish! If you think that this review is a little enthusiastic then I doubt you've visited! Don't get me wrong, it isn't for everybody and nowhere is totally perfect, but Hazel Bank gets VERY close!

Another brilliant shopping experience with Suzette. She helped me find an outfit for a wedding, the perfect top to go with a sequin skirt and a lovely summer dress for every day. Wish I had a daughter to send to the prom as I would definitely buy a dress from there for her.

Great food great value and friendly helpful service. A good find.
