The best restaurants serving British food in England

Hands down... the best place to eat in Wickford. Nikkie ( the owner) and Mark are so welcoming and friendly and had us crying with laughter, what brilliant people they are, nothing is to much trouble for either of them. The bagels are amazing with huge choice of fillings and really tasty. Best start to the day.... can't wait to go back ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Its dining with a difference - We had read the reviews so came well prepared (definitely steer away from tight waist banded clothing ). Our Host had been very responsive to our pre-visit enquiries and , on the night , was welcoming , engaging and great company. The menu had been planned to accommodate our varying tastes and was both delicious and certainly sufficient to satisfy appetites greater than ours. That said we diligently worked our way through all courses. Overall a great experience and one we would, and indeed already have, recommended, to our friends if they are planning to stay and dine in the area .

This cafe serves the best breakfasts we have tasted with all the staff being great. Definitely a go to place! Phil and Karen

Fantastic food as ever last night in the @34, great to see the college working with alumni and outstanding local businesses to support the next generation.. fantastic

I go there whenever I can. I’ve worked in restaurants for over 40 years and I think it's the best coffee around. Cakes are spot on too and the staff are brilliant. Martin

Excellent coffee and yummy scone. Beautiful cafe. Stylish cafe and friendly owner. The cafe is definitely OPEN. CYCLISTS welcome. Everyone is welcome. Please note that there are internal stairs up to the cafe. Will be back!

I visited yesterday on my own and had a coffee and the Shakshouka Bagel which was amazing and very filling. I have visited OTWT many times since it opened in 2019 as I have coeliac disease and all the food is gluten free: I sometimes go to eat in, like yesterday, and sometimes buy food to take away. I am the only gluten free person in my family but we all love the food from OTWT. My other half thinks Hayley’s cheese and onion pies are the better than “normal” ones! Other items I regularly buy and would recommend are the pasties (my favourite is the cheese and jalapeño), different types of cakes and biscuits, scotch eggs, pakoras and the arancini. Yesterday I also bought a pack of bagels after enjoying my lunch so much. Hayley and Dave are super friendly, always making time to chat and answer questions even when busy. I feel very lucky that this I live close to somewhere that makes and sells such yummy gluten free food.

Just returned after having yet another delicious meal at the New Inn. It has become our go-to place for lunch, and for some years now. We have never been disappointed in the food and always receive a smiling welcoming reception fro whoever is behind the bar. Please ignore the last review and look at all the other glowing reviews. Trip Advisor is a good place to look but so open to scams.

Excellent tasting menu great food . Chef tells the local story behind what inspired each course and how it was made which brings the food to life and makes for an entertaining evening . The passion and pride in the staff and the food is there for all to see . Small setting, we had 8 diners makes it very special . Good choice of very good award winning wine reasonably priced by the glass. Will be returning which says it all

Popped in for a breakfast with Friends , Cafe was quite busy with Takeaways but plenty of seating , we ordered at the counter and sat down , we had 45 mins before our train was due , after 30 mins had passed still no food , but loads of people who ordered after us had received there takeaways , in the end they put it in a polystyrene tray and gave it to us as a takeaway , problem was no cutlery was included , its not fun trying to eat a full english in a tray on a train with no cutlery hence most ended up in the bin !! Shocking service for sit down customers!!

I attended a workshop in Beaminster and at lunch time and although we were given many options for food outlets, me and 2 other participants decided on the Trading Post and I am so pleased we did. All 3 of us had soup and it possibly was the most delicious soup I have ever had the pleasure to taste. I would go back to Beaminster just to go to this cafe. It was an absolute joy from start to finish, the service, the food and the venue were all delightful. Thank you Trading post I will be back x

Very clean, organised barn stop offering a good selection of cakes and snacks. Also a great variety of drink choices. Clean and tidy tables and toilets. All offered on an honesty basis. I hope people respect this trust and pay for a lovely place to stop and refuel.

What A Gem, excellent authentic Food. We first tried a takeaway and was so impressed we decided to book a table, we was so glad we did very impressed with the quality and variety of the food on the menu. The Dorsa is a must to try. Service was top notch all the staff very attentive happy and had time to explain the dishes especially Richie !! He was such a pleasure to have serving us. Would most definitely give this new place a go, you wont be disappointed. Keep up the good work

From the moment we took the walk down the corridor we knew that this was an elevated experience. The lighting is lovely , there's a calmness away from the bustle of Whittlebury hall with beautiful music. We were slightly early but were welcomed by name. We were led to stylish chairs to perus the menus. Alongside the meal were appetisers, amuse bouche, pre dessert and petite fours , warm and beautiful breads and homemade butter. EVERYTHING presented was an experience and a delight and the serving staff were all knowledgeable and excited to talk about the menu in detailandd keen to know what we thought. It was clear to see that everyone there were bought into creating customer moments. I cannot compare the experience or food to anything else . It was wonderful and I felt like a V.I.P I look at the Instagram page and see all of the creations and love to see the passion and the thought that goes into what they offer. We were fortunate enough to be here at the beginning of the year and the experience is consistent. Thankyou Team for making my Birthday memorable.

We really enjoyed our two nights. Very well looked after and fed. The decor is in keeping with the house. Lots of original features and William Morris wallpaper.!
