The best restaurants serving British food in England

Nice wait staff, food takes about 20 - 30 minutes depending on how crowded it is (which is to be expected). Prices on alcohol is extremely reasonable. It gets very rowdy during the weekend but that's not a problem as fights barely happen. 10/10 would go again

I arrived at the lounge at 10:00 on 26 May 2025 only to be abruptly informed that access was limited to those with pre-booked reservations, even though I had my Priority Pass. Checking the departure board, I noticed one flight scheduled before mine, leading me to wonder whether the lounge is incredibly small or if the service advisor intentionally limited entry to reduce their workload. Either way, I ended up taking my business elsewhere. If you plan to use the lounge, make sure you pre-book.

I’ve been to Antix before and had a great time, but after going again recently, the experience was completely different—and honestly, disturbing. There’s a group of people operating as security, cleaners, glass collectors, and lingering around the dance floor who are clearly working together to steal from customers. My wallet was stolen, and when I confronted them, I quickly found myself surrounded by a group of around 10–15 people. It was intimidating and obviously organized. The management or owners have to be aware of what’s going on—they’re either turning a blind eye or are part of it. On top of that, we saw a young woman who was so drunk she couldn’t say what time it was or where she lived, and she was being "guarded" by men who clearly weren’t her friends or boyfriend. I don’t want to assume, but the situation looked unsafe and raised serious concerns for me and my group—especially around the possibility of sexual assault. It honestly felt like the entire place was being run by a gang. I wouldn’t go back and I really hope no one else has to go through what we did.

Ate food and asked for a refund for coffee as it took ages, they then delivered my brew i said its ok now its here for a slip of a kid to say you only waited 15mins to my hubby id have flipped if id heard that, then i watched as she discussed us with the other useless miserable staff it cost £16

Gone downhill now new owners have taken over, previous long term employees now left aswell due to bullying....Shame! My son being one who's still owed holiday pay which has been passed on to ACAS. New owners tries to say old owners owe it.....you own the business the business owes him!

I’m a childminder and for many years have visited the wacky warehouse on a weekly basis with the children . I’m always greeted by friendly staff but in particular I would like to mention a member of staff by the name of Becky who myself and the children always look forward to seeing . She goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome always interacting with the children , making us a a coffee .Not only is she always on the go but the wacky warehouse is always spotless and organized when we visit . The children know her by name and always look forward to seeing her . This is one of the reasons we enjoy coming weekly .

I felt compelled to write a review as the previous negative reviews do seem to be inspired by Islington/North London style hypocrisy/entitlement, notoriously associated with the looney gauche (coincidently and most appropriately also the word for lacking in good grace). The exterior and window display is very appealing and has the ‘kerb appeal’ you need, however it is from this very point, that the signs (in every sense of the word) are obvious. Virtually all notices, including food descriptions, names and the ‘house rules’ are indeed written on brown paper bags, which in any (Islington/North London style establishment) would be hailed as ‘retro’ and ‘rustic’. They do heavily emphasise that this establishment is NOT self service and any normal person would ‘connect the dots’ and so begin to read what they all say, if nothing else to establish what the offerings are. It is not really quantum physics to work it all out, with a little patience and indeed consideration for others. I, read, studied, waited and then ordered a ‘Hog’ sausage roll, a muffin, a huge hot cross bun and a ham and tomato sandwich/large roll. The total came to just over £20. To support a local enterprise, that is worth it. The Hog sausage roll was absolutely lovely, well spiced, pastry perfect and the meat tasty. The muffin, though perhaps a little burnt, was beautifully soft inside and had some lovely fruity bits. The Hot Cross bun was stunning. Twice the size at least, of supermarket bought and wonderfully soft inside, fruity with a really nice, almost fondant like, cross. The sandwich roll was perhaps the least successful of the items, but even so, only as it was lacking in florid and a little basic. It also did have perhaps too much butter. The sole points from the negative reviewers I would agree with are that the owner/lady is perhaps a little ‘matter of fact’ but frankly with the hypocrisy/entitlement of the negative reviewers, most people would get frustrated (the customer is NOT always right) and the other point is regarding payment. This is where the cost/charged amount is not announced, which is not great, but there again, one could ask!!! The ‘magic window’ is an understandable work around due to connectivity and frankly allows for a swift exit. Overall, would I visit again? YES. Would I recommend? YES. Just be considerate!!!

I’m a wheelchair user. Lots of access parking near the doors. I went in for food. A McDonalds. Fast order and they brought over to the table for my me. Clean, bright, busy. Food standard McD fare.

Pasé aquí de camino a casa desde Dorking ayer para un descanso cómodo. Normalmente paramos en Leigh Delamare como el deber nos llame. Los baños para mujeres en particular estaban sucios, olorosos y repugnantes. Ninguna de las puertas del inodoro cerradas y las marcas en las paredes del cubículo parecían no haber sido limpiadas durante días. Mi compañero dijo que los caballeros eran iguales. Por lo tanto, no compramos nada aquí, ya que esto nos aplazó. Entiendo que estaba ocupado pero no había estándares.

Went for Sunday carvery and I’m not usually a big carvery fan but this was lovely. There was 3 types of meat turkey beef and gammon. I had turkey and beef. Nice choice of vegetables stuffing and Yorkshire puddings which unlike toby carvery you could have more one and could go back for more of them and the vegetables. The gravy was lovely meat gravy. One of our party had food from the other menu and had surf and turf which he said was lovely and the chips were homemade chips not frozen ones. All 4 of us really enjoyed our meals. Staff were lovely and friendly too

Un personal tan amable y servicial una rareza hoy! Bonito pub lejos de las multitudes. Tomamos unas copas y un asado sencillo pero bien cocinado. Justo lo que necesitábamos.

Took my mum and sisters there for afternoon tea. The food was fabulous and the service was really friendly, we really felt that the staff cared and wanted us to enjoy our experience. I think the lady's name was Tracey who prepared the food and checked on us, she was amazing. We had a non-gluten tea and heritage teas and had more than enough food, all of which was fresh and tasty. Will definitely be back, thank you.

The place is quite beautiful: a very elegant and charming place. Service is quite good (well-manered albeit too slow) even on a very busy evening. Wine list is interesting and nice, with special offers on well chosen items (a very decent Bandol that evening), But, food… not quite what it should be. It is poor and not matching expectations. Too few ingredients. Frugal and stingy wishes in every ways. Flavours too vague. No shape, no sharpness. In other words: lots of room for improvement. Yet not an awful evening at all but not sure I’ll go there to eat again—having drinks is nice and good enough.

We shared a large breakfast and nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly staff. Great food and hot drinks. We will be back!

Was here for the NEC Home building and renovation show. I got the buffalo chicken burger which was alright but no blue cheese or much flavour as it’s advertised as a gourmet burger. Lovely waitress and not long to wait so was sufficient enough for 4 stars.
