The best restaurants serving British food in England

pancakes were not cooked. owner rude and didn't resolve. complete waste of money. sloppy service and sloppy desserts should be the name.

My work colleagues and I were passing by when we spotted this nice little quaint pub on a bridge, eager to unwind over a few beers after a long day we parked up and entered this pub. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by quite the spectacle: a heavyset gentleman in a turban, slumped over the bar and snoring loudly. Four pristine, untouched pints sat beside him, clearly his, as there was no one else around. The barmaid shot us a look that spoke volumes. We immediately understood her silent plea and nodded sympathetically before turning our attention back to the snoring mound at the bar. A few minutes into our visit, the man woke up and groggily scanned the room. He muttered something under his breath while glancing our way. We did our best to ignore him, avoiding eye contact with this dishevelled character, and tried to keep our conversation going. But then he started slurring at the barmaid, and we began to feel uneasy. Our discomfort grew as he muttered obscenities behind us, including a garbled threat about smashing a pint glass over our heads. One of my colleagues, visibly irritated, was ready to confront him, but given the man’s drunken state, we decided against it. What should have been a relaxing afternoon over a few drinks turned into a comical farce, thanks to this unfortunate encounter. The funniest part? As we got up to leave, he tried to strike up a conversation but promptly slumped back onto the counter and fell asleep again. Charming.

Horrible customer service. This is not the way to treat your customers. Kept me hanging for a week, without confirming or properly responding to whether or not my order has been replaced. I was given the impression that my order was being processed, but in reality, I was being ignored. They could have been upfront if they did not want to take my order. Really obnoxious and disrespectful honestly.

I purchased a to good to go bag from them but they were advertising the wrong address so I couldn’t collect. I contacted them several times about a refund but were totally uninterested about me getting a refund and kept referring me back to to good to go.

We first reserved this location since the hall and parking were ideal for our son's wedding party in April 2024. We looked over every arrangement, including the hues, snacks, and beverages. We even made a deposit with Paul on the same day we saw it, and he was really accommodating and helpful. The fact that the chef would be on vacation and unable to prepare the food we had requested was never brought up. When we called to discuss the reservation and inquire about the possibility of a meal sample, the woman who answered the phone was incredibly unpleasant and unhelpful, unprofessional, rude and unsympathetic telling us she has had to come back from maternity leave due to unforeseeable circumstance and that they are not able to cook the food we had requested therefore our reservation had to be cancelled at short notice. The scary thought is if we had not contacted them they would not have contacted us and we would have turned up on the day assuming everything would be ready.

I’d heard good reports so decided to give it a chance, we ordered two chicken dinners and a beef. HELLO!! Where is the chicken?two tiny drumsticks is not a chicken dinner.,cold veg served as well. When my wife complained about the chicken she was told that’s all you get.,no slices no leg just two drumsticks, I’d avoid this place for food. I know it was cheap at 7 pounds but I’d rather pay more and have a meal I could eat.

Real Ale drinkers will know that Greene King are a brewery, they own pubs, they sell real ale in those pubs, they have 3 main sellers Abbot, IPA & Old Spackled Hen, usually all three are available in their pubs, NOT SO in this one. How poor is THAT !!

Bad hate this place dirty don’t go ever please save your self food cold after I waited 1 hour pleaseeeee don’t go pleaseee

They are lovely people but the website says it recycles lots of things it doesn't . I tried to tell the staff in store I had arrived with lots to recycle but had to go home with them. No way to change the website apparently

El servicio el día que fui fue sorprendentemente lento, 1 persona cocinando y tomando pedidos no era un muy buen plan de negocios. ¡Esperé para hacer un pedido sin reconocimiento después de 5 minutos que me fui y no volveré!

Where do i start.. staff need to get manners. Food was Luke warm Windows need a clean so does the floor. Cutlery wasn't very clean either. Outside is full of smokers and cig ends on floor. Will be sticking to my regular Cafe 91 further up street. Staff who work in cafe buy kids cigs from the shop next door as the kids are under age absolutely shocking behaviour they need to be reported!! Avoid and don't waste your money

We were looking for a non pub meal early evening. Went here at 18:30 , board outside offering meals, no-one inside, told we are fully booked. More like we were wearing shorts - tailored I might add. Pretentious little place that does not deserve to survive

Had a beef sandwich which was awful, bread was stale and the beef tasted off, had one bite and threw it away.

I would really rate this 0/0. A truly horrendous experience. Ordered an English Breakfast×3. Was given a cold burned breakfast with cold toast! The only thing warm was the tea and hash browns. The sausages were doubly cooked and black. Rashers were burned with the tomatoes. Beans were cold with cold mushrooms! This place came recommended but I would recommend you stay away!! We were told we would get 10percent discount but the barmaid who was dreadful knew 0 so we got charged 28.50 for the experience never to return!!

When walking into the pub everything seemed to be good, the location and the decor was above standard. The two younger bartenders were very friendly and everything seemed to be going well until the bulldog chewing a wasp looking ‘lady’ with a buzz cut began to treat me and my friends like we’d kicked her pet cat. ‘she’ swore like a sailor and even though she appeared to be wearing rigger boots after a tough day labouring for the local bricky ‘she’ mocked my friends trainers, we left shortly after this. I would highly recommend some customer service training.
