The best restaurants serving British food in England

On arrival in to the bar we were met with a young lad arguing with the bar man and threatening him to take it outside which was a lovely first impression! We were early so asked if we could have a drink to be told there was a 15 minute wait for drinks and it would be best if we went straight to the table. On sitting down at our table we waited 15 minutes for our drinks order to be taken then another 15 for the drinks to come. Our food order was then taken. We then waited another 30 minutes for the starters to come which was very disappointing. My breaded mushrooms were cold but after waiting to so long there was no way I was sending them back. We had to ask for another drinks order to be taken which again took another 15 minutes to come. We then waited 45 minutes for our main. We ordered the chateaubriand to share on the lava rock which should have been accompanied by 4 hot sauces. What a disappointment the chips were raw and I've ate better cuts of the chateaubriand. We never received our hot sauces we ordered too. We have had a chateaubriand at many other places and this was not with the money at all. Overall the service was shocking and when I voiced my disappointment with the whole meal there was a simple sorry about that. I expected more from this place.

Amazing bottomless brunch, drinks flowing freely, can not fault the service by Harriet

Beautifully cooked, quality food… and lots of it. Absolutely delicious. Recommend the Salmon with pesto sauce. Staff lovely too!

The perfect family friendly pub, with separate play area for the children to play in which they loved (aged 4 & 5), the staff were friendly, very helpful and made my daughters 16th birthday meal extra special. In our party there was 6 adults and 2 children - great grandad loved his fish and chips and his great grandson loved his children's sized steak. I thought that there was a good range of meals available which were all reasonable priced. The kids meal deal was a lot cheaper than other pubs I've been to, portions were spot on for them catering for every taste. What made the evening even more special - the staff brought birthday cake out all singing happy birthday to the birthday girl, she was even given a free birthday mocktail which made her feel very grown up! We have been a few times to the pub and haven't had any complaints with the food or service for a Saturday night it was quite empty but it had a really nice personal atmosphere. Will definitely be going back again

Very disappointing experience. Poor service, rude staff, sub standard food. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't go back.

I had our 25years wedding anniversary on 16th Aug, at the orestone hotel. Fab service excellent food, nothing to much trouble. 5 star review.

This has to be the best value for money pub I've been to in a long time. Bar staff were super friendly, food was great and there was plenty of choice on the adult and kids menus. Lovely village location and an outdoor playarea for the warmer weather. We will be back and I'd happily recommend.

Great local fresh food cooked to perfection at a reasonable price. We loved the place the food and had great service would recommend and we will go back.

Visited a few weeks ago. A fantastic tea room. Delicious cakes and yummy sandwiches. Well done ladies!

We have stayed at The Cottage in the Wood near Keswick for over a dozen years, enjoying their journey from simple restaurant-with-rooms to a Michelin Starred triumph of The Lakes. Now under Beth & Jack’s new leadership we are excited to experience their new chapter. Our two nights stay and two different dinners were excellent food, exceptionally prepared and present with care, in a friendly relaxing atmosphere. This feels like home but with food that stretches our imagination. We will be back next year.

We just stayed at The Chestnuts Country House and all the reviews are so true. The setting is beautiful, the room is stunning, with everything you need and more for us and our dog. We were even able to charge our car over night. The breakfast is superb, truly remarkable. Thank you so much Kelly and David we can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

Great pub with lovely food and fair on prices. The staff are what keep you going back as well, all of them are really friendly and personable. We have been a few times, the odd occasion at lunch time and also when the Euro’s were on, the atmosphere was buzzing and even though it was packed you didn't have to wait for more than a minute or two for drinks. Ethan is one staff member we know by name he's always very friendly and chatty, he's a top barman too! Highly recommended pub with gastro pub type menu.

Lovely well priced cafe in Margate. Food I cooked well and nice selection

Tengo la misión de desayunar en todas las estaciones de metro de Londres. Para mi visita a Wembley Park, fui al Lounge Café, a pocos pasos de la estación. Tuve un excelente desayuno inglés y gran relación calidad-precio también, menos de £ 10 incluyendo té y tostadas. Lo que lo hizo especial, fue que las 2 encantadoras damas que trabajan allí, tan amable y acogedor. Muchas gracias, realmente me alegraste el día.

Peaceful with wonderful views and a nice little spa
