The best restaurants serving British food in England

Friendly café with great staff and great music. Very good food that everyone will like. My favourite in knaresborough.

First class unassuming service on a pretty quiet mid week January evening. Food throughout very good and well presented. Excellent value, as was the wine by the glass especially the 2022 Languedoc chardonnay.

Wonderful food and lovely staff

First time eating here and what a lovely place! Didn’t realise there was a downstairs, fabulous atmosphere! Sunday dinner was beautiful, highly recommend!

Arrived for dinner. No prior booking. Seated quickly. Dog welcomed with water and treats. Nice menu. Friendly service. Wine expensive. Felt a little cramped in bar area, we were keen to move on

We came here for dinner and all I can say is the food was outstanding! Taste sensation. We were very well looked after by the waitressing staff as well — well done!

Ordered a small breakfast. I had one taste of the hashbrown and grease seeped onto my mouth. I cut a small piece of bacon and took on mushroom and they were full of grease. I left the whole thing. On the way out I complained to the girl who took my order at the till. She said 'sorry about that, I will ket them know'. No offer of refund or even a chat with the owner. I had breakfast there about a year ago and it wasn't greasy. Maybe a change in cooking methods or change in chef.

Great restaurant serving exceptional Chinese dishes. Never visited before, wanted a restaurant near the train station I was being picked up from and this was on our way home. Ordered crispy duck for two with pancakes and hoi sin, followed by two more dishes and rice. Lots of choice of drinks. Owner came over and chatted to us, very friendly atmosphere, would certainly recommend and if we are in the area again definitely visit.

Cuatro de nosotros disfrutamos de una comida fantástica anoche con servicio de primera clase, amable. Los entrantes, los platos principales y los desiertos fueron impresionantes: Tom y su equipo bien hecho.

Great pub with a great atmosphere

Lovely food, staff and atmosphere. Beautifully presented. A good choice to make up our afternoon tea. The hot chocolate was the best I have ever tasted.

Food and drinks amazing rooms are gorgeous can be a bit noisy in room 2 but above all stunning

I rarely write reviews however with Briardene Hotel, I have too. From the moment you enter to the moment you leave the hotel and staff are far above what I would generally expect. Every staff member was friendly, polite, full of local knowledge if you needed it. And they take time out to make your visit special. The food was amazing, perhaps my general food is tasteless as as soon as I had the breakfast I was shocked at how good a breakfast can be. The hotel, every time I sat down and just looked around, I realised how someone had taken real time and effort to make everything work. It is far beyond a normal hotel. On a negative note. Briardene owners are asking for trouble though, a beautifully run hotel at a price that idiots like me can afford. Not clever.

Has been a family favourite for nearly 20 years it reminds us of family Friday fish

I must say. I've been all around the uk having fish and chips. This place is lush. Its in my top 3. My only criticism would be. Use different curry sauce. You would be number 2. But apart from that when we are off to Devon from now on. We will be popping in.
