The best restaurants serving British food in England

Always a good experience lovely food good staff and a good location

Good service, lovely Matcha Latte’s!

Absolutely superb food and service can’t fault anything highly recommend served by Gabby and Sophie who were helpful and friendly , Chef was great !

It's an amazing setting, and the staff are very helpful and welcoming. The food was good, and a lovely breakfast. The room was clean and tidy, if slightly dated in places. Great Value for Money - We would stay again. The A68 is relatively quiet, especially at night, and it's set back slightly, so no issues with traffic noise.

An amazing restaurant in the heart of Stratford! We had the 7 course tasting menu and would definitely come back and try again. One course slightly let it down - we weren't convinced by the combination of lamb & anchovy and the lamb itself was rump so a bit fatty, but I suppose that is personal preference so not a reason to not return. The service was exceptional, could not fault the front of house one bit - very friendly, funny & attentive!

HAD fish and chips five times and scampi and chips as group last night everything was spot on the best fish and chips that I have had in a couple of years thanks for the food and good service we will be back

A bit expensive but a lovely place might have to try the food

Food excellent. Top quality and loads of it.Definitely best pub food in this area and a go-to pub but a little bit special

I tried the salmon and it was a perfect dish. The fish was perfectly cooked and a salad went with it superbly. I feel fortunate to have such a place nearby to me. To sit by the fire with a whiskey on a cold winters night is wonderful.

Myself and my husband came here as we liked the menu online, we were greatly hosted by Rave who was very vibrant and made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious! And we will definitely be coming back again! Thank you for such great service and tasty food :D

Great pub, we decided to stop here in our motorhome as they had good parking spaces. The service was top notch and so were the meals. My wife had two entrees and I had the homemade pie. We could not fault the meals as they were delicious and a good size, the staff were friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate stopping here.

The Brickmakers comes with a good reputation and reviews, so we decided to test it out for ourselves. We booked a table of 6 and arrived to be shown to our enormous table. It was like King Arthur and roundtable! We promptly ordered, with a mix of nachos to share, king prawns and buffalo wings. On the whole, each dish was very good, tasty and had a fair portion size. Onto mains. I opted for the Steak cut of the day, which was ribeye, served with triple-cooked chips and a side salad, we also had a range of burgers including the chicken version, and the boom-boom salads whilst on opted for the lamb. The steak dish was OK., The steak was cooked well, but was very small and quite fatty, but the biggest disappointment for me was the overall size. I could literally count the chips on one hand, and the side salad was a few lettuce leaves and dressing. All for £29. The report on the hamburgers was mixed - one guest could not eat their one due to being overcooked, whilst another reported a great meal. The lamb looked good, and the report came back it was very tasty and well cooked. The chicken burger was simply "meh" with the salads being nothing out of the ordinary. We finished off with some desserts, the warm variety (such as toffee pudding, and brownie) were obviously microwaved so this was really disappointing. Blazingly hot in the middle, cool on the outside . The most disappointing aspect for us was portion size when compared to the price. With drinks, it was around £280 for the six of us. The steak was the most disappointing, served with a handful of fries, and a tiny salad made up purely of mixed leaves. The boom-boom salads were nothing short of poor value at £14 for largely lettuce leaves. Whilst food quality was on the whole reasonably good, for the price you would expect a lot more in terms of quantity. It seemed as though no effort had gone into accompaniments to the dishes (side salads, mash, fries etc) which were basic. No complaints on service, which was excellent and attentive. Overall, we all felt that the price of the food was not reflective of what was actually served.

Well situated cafe, friendly staff good quality food at very reasonable price, and well cooked , fast efficient service.

This was our third visit but I’m sure there’ll be many more. Despite the team preparing for a large event taking place tomorrow, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was fantastic as always and the service friendly, helpful and welcoming, that’s why we keep coming back. Thank you Red Lion Team, see you at the Hoedown tomorrow

Came in today with my wife for a spot of lunch. The QSM did not disappoint. I had a fantastic ham and cheese sandwich and, my wife, the lasagane. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Couldn't recommend more. Great portion size and value for money.
