The best restaurants serving British food in England

Reliably good, great atmosphere, lots of food choices Attentive staff and friendly staff.

The top end of pub food, the chef really knows what he's doing. Friendly staff.

Only had of the lunch time menu. The portion sizes were great, price good, quality brilliant and services was spot on

This place is located in the going out area or student area. Really nice interior. Very welcoming. We went for brunch on a Sunday. Check the menu in advance to make sure there are choices that work for you. Brunch on Sunday is only served until midday. Service was really good, food quality was just great. On value for money, we would suggest you look in advance. Two breakfast dishes each and two loads of tea each was close to £60. Food price inflation has indeed hit English restaurants very hard indeed .

Great place to stop and have a coffee

Very nice, warm welcome. Good food and drink.

We came here a couple of times while staying in the area. They have an excellent selection of ciders and they are very dog friendly! We also had a meal one evening which was delicious. The pub also has a very historic feel, very pretty and fitting with Ledbury.

scam and half the taps won’t work

very pleasant location as you can watch water skiers whilst you dine on a nice window table like we had! Food and service were very good and we would certainly recommend it to others.

We visited here having seen mixed reviews but wanted to give it a try ourselves. We ordered a non alcoholic margarita cocktail and a regular whiskey sour. I was so impressed to see actual alcohol free cocktails as this is rare, and they were presented beautifully. Top marks- if I was local I’d come back here repeatedly as they were very reasonably priced. We ordered chicken wings to start-lovely and crisp but with just a drizzle of sauce across the top. A little pot to dip would have been even better as it was delicious (chicken fil-a sauce.) For mains we ordered a whole lobster Thermidor. I’ve eaten this many times elsewhere over the years. The sauce was NOT a Thermidor sauce. It was an odd tasting,watery type sauce which took away from the taste of the lobster. Also,the lobster was tiny and there was very little meat at all. Chips lovely and crisp and hot. We also had the baby back ribs. They lacked flavour. If they were seasoned,I couldn’t taste it,and I’d expect some sort of bbq flavour or an accompanying sauce. There was none. Quite bland but very tender meat. Lastly we had the pulled pork mac and cheese. Plenty of cheese and pork on top but the watery sauce used on the lobster appears to be used on the pasta as well. It was not a creamy,gooey,cheesy sauce,as it should, be so disappointing and we didn’t finish it. Nothing was properly seasoned and I can only describe it as insipid. Luckily, we visited at 5pm when it is 20% off so we didn’t feel ripped off. Staff were friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t visit again (apart from for the bar.) There’s a far superior bbq restaurant a few minutes down the road in Whitstable.

Spent the weekend in local caravan park and ventured to ‘The Victory’ for Sunday lunch. It certainly did not disappoint. We pre-booked due to group size (10) and we had to pre-order which we expected. What a lovely welcoming pub, wish it was my local. We ordered a mixture off the menu for children and adults plus desserts. Everything was delicious and was piping hot and nothing was incorrect. Staff were so hospitable and could not do anymore. Wine was delicious too. What a great spot and would definitely recommend.

Seemed like a great pub with a buzzing atmosphere, and nice to see space for drinkers and not just all tables, although there was still plenty of space for diners. We visited for Sunday roast, and while service was good and food was nice, the portions were tiny. I had roast chicken and it just didn’t fill me up at all. I would rather pay an extra few quid and have a proper lunch. Sorry, but only 3 star review due to me leaving hungry.

Very good for Monday lunchtime 4. Meals plenty space for wheelchair staff and food lovely

Excellent food, excellent service and excellent setting. Staff friendly and efficient in their timings. There is also an excellent range of ales on offer. I have no hesitation in encouraging you to visit when in the area.

Been here a few times now with different family members and we love it. Staff are amazing and the breakfast menu is so good. My hubby loves the black pudding stacks, look and taste so good. We are going to book for the Christmas afternoon Tea that is advertised.
