The best restaurants serving British food in England

Only a quick update. The pub has new landlords. As of this post there was no WiFi. Card payment machine etc. Anything do do with the Internet as they have not resolved that due to Marstons cutting it off as new landlords are leasing pub. The tips the young waitresses used to get all to themselves is now shared out. How I am not sure but as long as it is for the staff aline and not landlords that's okay as the law on staff tips changed on Oct 1st 2024. If you are giving tips for the waitresses I would give them cash to put in their own pocket. They earn it. For the girls it's clothes and makeup money. Extra pocket money for them. Not tried the new menu yet but reliably informed its good.

Once again we had another superb meal in the Blood Tub for our tea. All 5 of us throughly enjoyed our meals. We had Steak pie chips and vegetables,gammon pineapple and trimmings with chips and veg, chicken in garlic sauce with chips and salad, and two lots of chicken in peppercorn sauce with chips and salad. All reasonably priced considering how much you get, the quality of the food and it tastes lovely. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this place and plan on returning again soon. Forgot to take photos on this occasion

Superb white fish beautifully cooked and a large portion Perfect chips Curry sauce sharp enough to be interesting without being to savage. We ate on a sunny day when the picnic tables were most welcome.

We stopped here ad hoc to heap some food The chilli and chips with cheese was amazing - would highly recommend

My husband and I visited on a Saturday in November before a show. We arrived a little early and expected to have to wait, but no, we were promptly greeted and seated. We were also informed that the table was ours until the show started, which was a welcome addition we didn't know about previously. The whole team was wonderful, friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The food was not only outstandingly presented but it tasted divine. Every mouthful was a delight. The price was phenomenal. We had 1 alcoholic drink and 1 soft drink, starters, mains, and 2 coffees all for £60! I have been coming to this theatre for many years. However, this was my first visit to 1914, and it will hopefully not be my last. I look forward to returning soon.

Very friendly place to chill out, great crowd. Always welcoming

still first class food and service. And good value for money . Just had my breakfast today. First class as usual.

Great little bakery. Freshly made produce, very tasty & friendly staff

Cracking place and quality food and lovely staff

Came to revisit previous colleagues for a cappuccino and a slice of cake made by the talented young kitchen assistant, Catherine, helping out during the holidays!! I was certainly not disappointed with the quality of the cake, perfect and pardon the pun but her cakes are selling like hot cakes!! Everyone in the cafe and shop are always very friendly and had a great time when working there but it was time for me to move on. Great to see some loyal customers too who I hope to see again in my new place of work soon xx

I had my favourite breakfast here. Smashed 🥑 on toast with 🥚 The hot chocolate was delightful as well. Thank you, Ollie, age 10

This is a truly lovely place with a nice atmosphere. I asked them to host a wake, and the owners were incredible- unbelievably helpful, from adapting the menu to providing a television, right down to returning lost property. Food was brilliant too, and the prices good. Can’t recommend enough.

A handsome old pub in the middle of Luddenden. Friendly staff and locals, a champion pint of Landlord too!

Beer - fantastic Clientele - amazing Lights above the bar - grate Brilliant Comedy Night - check it out if you're in the areas

Went on Tuesday, turns out it gluten-free night , wow fish was massive, chips a plenty generous portions, freshly prepared cooked to order, top quality ingredients, spotlessly clean throughout, friendly polite staff would definitely recommend, and will definitely be back
