The best restaurants serving British food in England

We visited the main restaurant while visiting Bridgemere. We settled on a cheese scone and a coffeee each. What a mistake!!! The scones, costing £2.75 each, were probably the worst scones we had ever come across. They were hard, crumbled in many fragments when cut and were extremely dry and unpleasnt to eat. This experience has put us off ever eating a scone ever again.

We paid £12 each for tickets to see the firelight event . Completely ruined by the rude staff at The Green Cafe. We were there at the start cold ,hungry and needing some drinks and food we headed straight to the indoor cafe at the event. There were only a few people in front of us but the pace was astonishingly slow. Finally when it was our turn to get served by someone called Jo we asked about Vegan food. Apparently there was some being made. I wanted a menu or list to order seeing as I'd waited so long to get served but no list looking around stressed Jo eventually said "list over there" no indication where over there was so had to leave my place in queue and hunt around. Finally went outside and there was a specials notice not a list of food you could order as only mentioned one vegan option and not the things that were in the oven. Stressed out I asked someone called John who then basically said "We are here to have a good time!" and that I was "Wasting his!" . I couldn't belive the attitude after they had already ruined the evenings event. I then asked for a manager and she came over and literally grabbed my arm and told me to start again as if she couldn't understand what I was saying? I told her to not touch me and she literally flounced off! I was left there with still no food, no drinks no menu and and another queue had formed. In tears I left the event after only visiting the cafe but as I walked out the gate in tears and shocked at the treatment the events organiser who I said I'd never come back again too was lovely and really great and convinced us to stay as they had fire eaters to watch and it had only started. We ended up going to a food stall instead and it costs £15 for 2 truly awful veggie burgers and fries (only they were not fries they were Potato Wedges) My elderly mother went back in cafe as we needed wines it was that much of an ordeal. I waited and waited . To my complete shock when I finally went looking for her she was still at the back of the queue a small queue ! I've never seen anything like this!!! as a result we missed the fire eaters which was only event we were there for! There was only music so this was only event worth seeing and we missed the whole thing waiting on 2 drinks in cafe so £12 each completely wasted !!!! It was absolutely horrendous and I'd never ever go back. The prices for everything were a rip off. I basically spent £45 for wines and footstall food and to be treated so appallingly simply because the cafe can't give a list actually serve anything in a reasonable time and thinks gaslighting you for it is a service. I'd never step foot in forty hall again as that's the only cafe I could see and it ruined what could have been a good night. I'm mean completely ruined.!!! I'm still extremely livid on writing this review the following morning. I have mental health issues and my mother is a pensioner so we don't go out much and after this experience and the way I was spoken to and left treated I doubt we will again.

Ryan star of the bar great atmosphere all people friendly prices competitive nice place for a drink

Great pub with a cracking vibe, some really good beers for the real ale lovers. Don’t be put off by the outside as the inside is warm and friendly.

Visited with my Aunty she wanted a toasted sandwich, I wanted pancakes from the breakfast menu, she was told she would have to wait for 10 mins as they were serving breakfast, I went to order and was told breakfast ordering had finished, I was a bit put out as about 5 mins before 4 men came in and had ordered breakfast, we both felt me and my Aunty that the staff seamed like they didn't want to be there, they seamed rushed off there feet and took ages to serve people there was hardly anyone in there, my Aunty and me both agreed we would nt like yo see the staff managing when the cafe was busy, there is hardly anything for adults to do at Hatton craft center it used to be a real treat to go up there and look around the shops but now it's dead when we visited there was only the garden centre and Christmas shop open, the highlight of the visit would have been going to the cafe but even that's disappointing and expensive

Horrible children in the soft play which is not manned by any staff. These children were left unattended, no parents in sight. They were swearing at both children and adults and one of the boys slapped my son 3 times across the face, swore at him and punched and kicked two other boys. Noone was there to complain to or get these children out.

What a vile, filthy shop this is, the staff are lethargic and uninterested in the customers or anything else. Skulking in corners to avoid engaging with customers. And the so called manager Tracy, what a joke!

Sadly this cafe did not reopen after Covid. A lot of people used to meet up there and there is no similar venue within a mile.

Recientemente fui a Hoxton Mount de camino a casa después de visitar a mi familia en Leeds para decir que estaba decepcionado sería una gran eufemismo. La hamburguesa estaba tibia y parecía que había sido montada por un niño pequeño. Las papas fritas no eran mucho mejores, mi compañero las llevó y su sándwich de pollo de vuelta al mostrador para reemplazarlas. Esa es la última vez que comeré en Mcdonald’s en cualquier parte del país.

New years eve event good BUT somewhat spoiled by the venue. Bar automatically added a service charge to ALL drinks then did NOT give a receipt so many were unaware they were paying an extra 10% on the price of their drinks. Venue will not take cash so we will definitely not return. Very uncomfortable pillows and no hooks in en suite, even had to scan a barcode on phone to park the car.

This place has god downhill. Very poor service. Guys handling food with bear hands, and wiping hands on apron. Dirty toilets. Tables not cleared or cleaned (sticky). High prices. What has happened to this place that used to be a reasonable stop for a snack. Avoid.

Great, well cooked breakfast that arrived promptly. Good service as usual. It was busy as usual but lots of seating and all in an amazing garden centre. Well recommended.

Ordered for delivery two fish, chips & sausage in a tray. On 3 occasions stated NO salt & Vinegar, when we received them they were covered in vinegar, which the kids wouldn't eat. Tried calling numerous times, the phone just constantly rings out. Waste of money and still have hungry kids.

Visité este lugar dos veces el mismo día. Primero solo para tomar una copa por la tarde, y eso fue realmente agradable. Buena vista, buen ambiente. Ya entonces un poco lento personal, pero está bien cuando solo tiene algo para beber. Regresé después de unas horas para comer porque pensamos que sería bueno. Pero no. La comida no es nada especial, no sabe mucho. Sin embargo, lo peor es que algunos de los camareros son muy groseros y no parecen disfrutar su trabajo en absoluto. Volveré por un vaso de vino, pero nunca volveré a comer aquí. Es una pena, podría haber sido tan bueno.

My son and I popped in for a drink scone and cream. Looked good but it was terrible. The cream had been left out on the side in a big tub. When we went to eat it, it was like runny, tasteless mess. I had spotted someone walking through with proper Rhondda’s cream but when I enquired the waitress said the big pot is apparently all they had it’s whipped up in the morning and she said been in the fridge. It was left on the side for a good 15 mins whilst we queued so that wasn’t right. We kept to just scone and jam but the scone was as dry as anything and hard as a rock. If we visited again it will be drinks only!
