The best restaurants serving British food in England

We visited the area to do a circular walk and was amazed that there were several places to eat, we chose The Happy Bap and so glad i did. I had one of the most freshest baps with brie and chilli jam absolutely gorgeous. The staff were very welcoming and pointed out that there was also a lovely little garden to sit in . We would definitely visit here again.

Have visited a handful of times and I wouod highly recommend. Birthday afternoon tea was lovely with lots of lovely things to try. Have since been a couple of times for lunch. The staff are lovely and accommodating and the food has always been great.

Me and my friend Annette stopped at The Shuckburgh Arms last Saturday until Sunday morning. We had such a lovely time we didn't want to leave. The hospitality of Georgia and Paul was absolutely fantastic they were so warming to us and made you feel very welcome. The evening meal and breakfast was really nice I would definitely come back again. The room was cosy and the bed was very comfy. Thank you Georgia and Paul.

Memorable for all the wrong reasons. We ate here during the week before Christmas and based on the online reviews we were looking forward to a treat. The only positive was that the two people who were waiting on tables were friendly. I don't usually write reviews but this was so far away from what has been described that I would hate anyone to save up for a special occasion and have the experience that we did. First of all the room was crowded which is not ideal at the best of times but there had been no attempt to make space between the tables in the way that many restaurants have done as a response to the pandemic. They even fitted an extra table in while we were there and had to lock the front door to make room for it. We opted for the a la carte menu and my husband and daughter ordered starters which arrived in good time. They described them as ok although the terrine was not as tasty as one we made at home. We waited for the main courses. My husband's plate of beef was absolutely huge but with very little vegetables to accompany it. It was nothing like the delicate presentation shown on the pictures in other reviews. My slow roasted pork was a large lump of meat with thick white fat which had not been rendered down by the cooking process at all. The flesh was cooked but very tough and tasteless. It was sitting on a bed of one carrot and one parsnip. The carrot was floppy and cold, the parsnip so raw that it was impossible to cut. Luckily we had ordered a side dish of extra parsnips that were properly cooked. We ordered puddings then we waited, and waited, and waited.. Eventually the lemon posset arrived (ok but lacking in lemon flavour) and then my sticky toffee pudding. I took one mouthful and couldn't believe what it was like. The texture was glutinous, almost like frog spawn (ok I have never eaten frog spawn but you get the idea) and yet it tasted burnt. I began to wonder whether it was just my taste buds (Covid?) but my daughter took a mouthful and confirmed how bad it was. The waitress removed it to the kitchen and came back to say they wouldn't charge for it. I genuinely have no idea how they managed to get it like that. This is not a cheap restaurant and clearly they have in the past served some good food but if you are intending to go I would advise checking what is going on and whether the chef is on form or you could be very disappointed.

We popped in this cafe during our 80 mile walk for some much needed hot food . The staff were fantastic, especially the waitress who couldn’t help us enough

We found this lovely little pub on Booking.com as we were after a last minute getaway. Stayed 4 nights in one of the chalet style rooms next to the garden. Lovely, cosy and clean with everything we needed. Steve the owner was very friendly on arrival and gave us all the info we needed. Only 10 minutes into Salisbury from here and just 3 minutes to beautiful town of Wilton with some nice little walks nearby. Slept very well whilst here as lovely and quiet at night. Had a few meals in the pub itself which were absolutely delicious (you need to promote your food more)! Will definitely be back! Many thanks.

From the moment we walked in the door, we were impressed - the cafe is beautifully decorated and had a welcoming atmosphere. Despite being a group of 6 - with a dog - we were quickly seated. We had a range of food - sandwiches, baguettes, toasties and jacket potatoes, all of which were freshly made and delicious. The cakes we had to follow were also wonderful - the only downside (!) being the wide choice and having to decide on which ONE to have! The people serving us were warm, friendly and very accommodating, elevating the whole experience. If I’m back in the area, I’d certainly pay another visit and would encourage others to do the same. A real gem!

I cannot say enough about this place….it doesn’t matter weather you go alone or with family or friends, you are made to feel so so welcome.. The food is cooked fresh the staff are amazing including the owner, nothing is too much trouble day or evening…!! Please support our local places as nowadays so many are closing down,and we need to support our local businesses..!!! You will not be disappointed…!!

My favourite place for a Saturday night! The owners are fantastic, they make you feel very welcome, and always know how to keep their customers entertained. The food they serve is very tasty and well presented. I cannot fault this place at all and recommend it to everyone!

Primera vez aquí y con ganas de disfrutar del café. Servicio decepcionante y el orden equivocado llevado a la mesa. Cuando llegó el pedido correcto el café estaba frío.

Increíble, la comida es de un producto muy alto y cocinado a la perfección 👌. El personal es muy amable también. Disfrutamos mucho de nuestros desayunos de hoy. ¡No puedo esperar a volver! Ambiente encantador en el restaurante también.

Lovely cute countryside pub. Very warm welcoming. Really nice vibe. Live singer in the evening, everyone was so warm and friendly when we arrived. Lunch was great too. Rick and Sophie owners have created an amazing friendly and inviting pub for everyone

We enjoyed our afternoon tea (which has to be pre-booked, via email). The cakes and sandwiches were nice, although nothing particularly stand-out about them. However, the selection of loose leaf teas was great - innovative flavours and great quality teas. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.

No longer open sadly, but great to talk to the person who used to run it...

Just finished eating my “Italiano” bagel (salami, mozzarella and balsamic). It was seriously fresh and tasty. Reasonably priced too for what is quality food.
