The best restaurants serving British food in England

Great roast beef sirloin. Plenty of staff and excellent service.

Having stopped in Chapel-en-le-Frith, we asked a business owner for a recommendation for lunch. She directed us to visit the Beehive Inn in Combs, a small village 10 minutes drive away. We loved it. Inside & outside seating, good ales and I loved the Hot Roast Beef and sticky onion and gravy dish on Granary Bloomer. Win!!! One of those pubs where you get to chat to the local customers and admire their well-behaved dogs. This is the best of British!

First time my partner & I have ate here, if you don’t mind paying that little bit more for good food this place is a MUST. From the warm welcome we received upon arrival till we left can’t fault this place at all. All of the staff were very attentive always making sure we had everything we needed/ wanted. Both our meals were of the highest quality, the steak was cooked to perfection & the chicken was full of flavour. Nice ambience to the place with piano bar style music playing in the background.

Highly recommend for a Sunday Roast, beautiful setting and lovely food

Had an amazing evening out! The food was top-notch—both the Chicken Caesar Salad and the Harissa Chicken Burger were delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were absolutely brilliant, warm and funny, really adding to the atmosphere. Speed of service was good too, and I appreciated that they checked in for a second drink and offered dessert. Can't wait to come back for more great food and the lovely team!

What a lovely find in Lymington - probably one of our best meals in the last few years and we enjoy eating out alot. We found this via the Michelin guide and made a day trip of it to visit this charming restaurant by the marina walking street. We chose to have an early lunch with their 7 course tasting menu. Our particular menu had a seafood focus to it and my goodness was it a treat. We had oyster dressed in honey and jalapeño, delicate crab with asparagus velouté and poached quail egg, skate cheeks with the most lovely langoustine sauce and lobster cassoulet! As the courses kept coming, we were delighted with different flavour combinations. The best, well - perhaps second best because the crab dish really stole the show - was the main dessert which was a sabayon with an indulgent chocolate mousse drizzled with the most perfect South African olive oil - the combination was nutty and rich and each time you inhaled, you got the lovely olive oil aroma dancing with the sabayon - such a surprisingly lovely combination that just makes you shake your head in wonder. Service was professional and attentive with a full understanding of each dish and detail. The accompanying wine flight was also the perfect compliment to the tasting menu - not trying to stand out but instead meanders with you on chef’s culinary journey. We drove from London and will do so again in a heartbeat to come back. The tasting menu is innovative and interesting, but not so wacky that you don’t recognise your meal. Prices are not cheap but certainly not over the top for the quality of the ingredients, experience and skill of the chef’s team and impeccable service. Lunch is a good time to visit as its not as busy as dinner (which they are often fully booked) and allows you time to enjoy the experience and still have a nice walk afterwards. Note: bring cash as service is not added to the credit card bill and can only be paid separately - nearest cash machine is at Tesco about 8 mins away so good to sort this out beforehand. Parking is available in the lots at the marina (if its busy, wait a few mins as people seem to come and go). Dress code I would say is comfortable and neat. The ambiance of the restaurant is calm and charming with a few little whimsical features that make you smile - we sat next to a metal angler fish lamp! But the team here really pulls it all together, - so welcoming, knowledgable and passionate about their food and wine. Such a lovely find and we will be back again soon!

We turned up on a Monday evening without booking and got a table. I had the Cajun salmon which was delicious and my friend had the pice and chips which he said was outstanding. We polished the meal off with ginger pudding and ice cream which was absolutely delicious and we highly recommend. We would definitely go back.

Wanted to like this place more but the food is only okay - and some of it is terribly bad value, though weirdly some other dishes are quite cheap .. it's quite a nice dining room, staff and service are good but the food is mainly mediocre and some dishes are very expensive ( for example the cured meat board is actually a plate with about 10 small slices of Salami/Bresaola priced at £17!) ... It's not a bad spot, but I was expecting a bit more

Needed a couple of things real quick. Store was clean and the staff were friendly.

Brilliant afternoon tea in a first class compartment on a lovely railway carriage, beautiful food and a very pleasant experience highly recommend 👍

Beautiful food, carefully prepared, skilled presentation, fresh quality ingredients, superb attention to detail, delicious flavours, relaxing atmosphere, attentive staff. Try the tapas - it is all amazing. Best restaurant in Burton and the surrounding area. Thank you !

Fantastic roast lamb Sunday lunch!

What a great lunch stop! The steak and ale pie with mash and veg was out of this world as was the broccoli and Stilton soup… the bread was awful, stale and freezer burnt… the server was very apologetic about it… would def go back here again! Mmmm sorry no photos only took video for YouTube and it doesn’t allow me to upload video!

Sunday roast worth travelling for - beef cooked as it should be with all the trimmings. Sami’s a great host - we’ll be back.

After years of passing by on my way to work, I finally booked a visit. I can honestly say that we were so impressed with the quality of food and service. I highly recommend and will definitely revisit again in the future. A big well done to all the team.
