The best restaurants serving British food in England

We called in this morning for brunch. The atmosphere was a warm and cosy antidote to the fresh autumn morning outside. We were promptly greeted and shown to our table by Kym, who looked after us impeccably throughout. The menu was first rate. Sarah had the smoked salmon: it was delicious. I had the full breakfast: it was simply sensational. Matthew put together a fanatic brunch using the finest ingredients. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

Heard mixed reviews but thought we’d try it. Vegetarian menu dull and we weren’t impressed by what we got. Wanted dessert and given menu but after 20 minutes we have up.

Lovely decorated, staff are really friendly, food was really nice. Loved that you can borrow a pair of glasses to read the menu from the stag on the wall. I will be revisiting.

Really nice but clicky at weekends with locals

An excellent oasis away from the general riff-raff that is Penzance. The menu is pricey, but worth it. Lovely cosy and intimate ambience, and the Romanian girl from Spain is utterly charming in her own staid and sassy way. The other staff are wonderfully bubbly and exuberant and know what they’re doing. Food-wise, I’d recommend the tiger prawns, as they are delightfully chewy and fresh and served piping-hot off a master skillet. I wouldn’t order a vegetarian dish, since chefs these days don’t like cooking vegetarian entrées. So a turf or surf dish would be an ideal choice. The cuisine is casual-gourmet with a nouveau inspiration, though the portions are more generous here than what you’d get at a nouveau venue. One to return to time and time again!

Nice looking and cosy inside on a chill ( cold) end of October day. #feels like 8° Checked beforehand and the web site says Dog Friendly! It’s not! You can sit outside in all weather on rotting wooden benches with your pooch if you want! No room inside anyway! Only stayed to finish drinks and left! If your only Dog Friendly outside you should say so.

Local pub with amazing staff and wonderful food ..

Great food, very reasonable price

An absolute hidden gem. My greatest difficulty here is narrowing my order choice to one item per visit. The staff has unofficially adopted our daughters and we feel more at home here than nearly anywhere else. The food is excellent and service is the best.

Popped in for an early evening drink, during a short break in Lynton. Seemed to be a popular place, and after a quick look at the food menu, we decided to stay for dinner. The portions are very generous and prices very reasonable. I couldn't actually finish my pizza (unusual for me!) but they were more than happy to box up what I couldn't eat, to take away. Good choice of beers, friendly staff and a great, relaxed atmosphere, hence 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Awesome breakfast would highly recommend. Gets v busy so early doors is recommended.

Great spot for a lunch and lovely service. Everyone is so kind and attentive. We had a panini and a wrap which were both very yummy. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice brunch/lunch spot in Potters Bar

Food service setting and ambience absolutely wonderful , 7 course tasting menu with the wine pairing , pricey but worth every penny

Really hope the garden gets done soon because it's a lovely pub and I'm looking forward to summer nights there:)

Set in beautiful grounds, Hartwell House is a unique hotel. Steeped in history we felt as if we had stepped into a Jane Austin novel. The house is beautifully restored and filled with antiquities. We loved being able to relax in its library after dinner. The spa is in a separate building and quite fabulous with a good sized pool with jacuzzi. The views from our 2nd floor bedroom were stunning and our room extremely spacious, even though it was not one of their premium rooms. We had afternoon tea and dinner and both were served with attention to detail and with elegant silver service. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The service we experienced was friendly and professional. We felt very well looked after.
