The best restaurants serving British food in England

I had bought a wheel of tete de moine last Christmas, which The Cheese Plate had posted to me. It was great and I wanted another one this Christmas but this time I thought I'd drive up to Buntingford and see what else they have. Fortunately I was able to buy their last wheel of tete de moine, which, surprisingly, was the same price as last year! But they had some lovely other cheeses too - a spread of English, French, Swiss, Italian and Spanish I believe. The highlight was the creamy/gooey gorgonzola but I also bought a small pot of garlic jelly - something I hadn't seen before and an excellent morbier, far better than what's on offer in supermarkets.

Kate helped us with catering for two dinners for eight people over a weekend on the Isle of Wight. From my initial enquiry, Kate was incredibly helpful with suggestions for well balanced menus using local seasonal produce. Both dinners were dropped off by Kate at our rental house and we were given perfect instructions to heat up the various courses for both evening meals. The detail and care that Kate put into both dinners was exceptional and everything was absolutely delicous. I couldn't recommend Kate and Angel in the Kitchen more highly.

Nice quirky place with a good range of coffee, and cake very minamalist in its decor. Staff are great and it attracts a good eclectic mix of people. I had the sausage roll and a cold dring and they were great. All in all a good place for a chilled weekend brew.

I am gonna be honest, I was soooo happy to see this coffee shop because I really needed to go to the toilet, because in the national park it is hard to find a toilet and I was surprised that they are there (I visited a few national parks, and there is not a single bar or coffee shop in miles) so very happy to find then. And second, the lady was so nice, very friendly. Me and my brother order jack potato and I am telling you, it was a quality plate, (I love jack potato so I may sound exaggerated haha) simple but really nice. Also I took a piece of cake and was delicious. Beautiful place, beautiful views, I was in love!

Visited here recently Fabulous experience Great choice of drinks - special cocktail offer Good choice of local beers including draft Extensive menu especially if you’re a vegetarian Also daily specials board Yummy deserts Staff go the extra mile to assure you have everything you need Deserves to do well - highly recommended

The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The staff were so kind when our daughter dropped her hot chocolate - they gave us another one for free and made sure it was cool enough for her to drink. Thank you. We loved the outdoor seating area. So cosy.

They seem to love their occupation...don't miss the experience. They are focussed on you. Consistent, Generous and Clean *****

wonderful restaurant - imaginative food at a good price, lovely staff and classy venue - the food is modern, well prepared and inventive - a cut above the local competition - so sad it is now closed

What a great find ! Just of the main A22 at Forest Row you will find this little gem above a well known bathroom design shop. It's easy for find as the bath shop display an antique style bath high off the ground just by the main road! It's quite a small cafe so worth booking. We even enjoyed Al fresco eating on an area at the back over looking the fields. Food and service were excellent. Highly recommend. Ian March 2025

A great addition to the Chillingham Road - very good variety of food, and good coffee. Well worth a visit for fresh and unusual food, a change from the usual, and you can tell the quality by the number of people waiting outside for their orders!

Great portion size, tasty fish, all been said already by other reviewers. What I found especially good was the batter on the fish, crispy and thin, not greasy, and the most magical of all, is that the fish goes all the way to end of the batter shell! They’ve go the batter nailed down! Bravo, please continue doing your thing and do not stop

Second time trying pie and mash, first time trying it with liqor. Definitely wasn’t disappointed and far better than first time. Will definitely be returning

Cannot praise the staff more highly. We took a Special needs and Disabilities group of 25 people on the afternoon of the 15th December for a Christmas meal. The food was excellent, Staff friendly and very pleasant, together with the Service. They accommodated at the last moment, after we had been let down by a large Pub chain, but were excellent. Highly recommend and worth a visit. On behalf of Sunday Club

first time popped in-most tables were already taken having breakfast; always seek decaffinated coffee(from machine-not sachet!!) and said to us-"no problem". 4 staff busying around in kitchen area to cope with orders. Few minutes later large cups duly presented to us with a biscuit-nice touch and without asking -a jug of hot water(rare sight) The coffees were excellent. worth going back for a meal someday.
