The best restaurants serving British food in England

We visited for lunch. The cheese and ham omelette was delightful. Excellent choice of cakes. Friendly staff and a lovely clean place. We would recommend this cafe to friends

The two main people serving in the café area are an incredibly friendly and welcoming couple. Very nice environment, clean and pleasant. It was great that my wife and I could walk straight in with our two dogs and be greeted with a smile. The price wasn’t too ridiculous considering it’s a seaside town as well. The food was nice and we will definitely be going back again.

Great food, the burger was absolutely great!!! Super friendly service. And great music!!! Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Such a wonderfully welcoming and relaxed restaurant with the most amazing food right in the heart of England’s tiniest city. We went for a family New Years Eve meal and the service and food was absolutely spot on. We will definitely return. Highly recommended!

Staying in Aby village for a week's holiday and had to try the local pub. Exterior looks a bit "tired" but don't be put off - inside it's friendly. cosy and lots of character. Excellent choices of dishes on the menu and "daily specials" board - we especially appreciated the choice of gluten-free options and Dawn was happy to go through each option in detail. Good portions and served hot! Very tasty and wholesome. Wide range of dessert options too and it was evident from conversations with other diners, that Dawn would also be happy to adapt these just to suit individual requirements. Obviously very deserving of the many awards over many years.

Pulled up in carpark and made to feel really unwelcome. Outside doors being slammed and just being stared at. Requested food, it was a Sunday after all, and was told that there was a buffet later. Could not even offer a sandwich. New to area but will not return. The pub had been recommended to us by locals but first impressions are everything.

Fantastic friendly staff - cakes were exceptional and perfect with a cup of tea after doing the nearby waterfall hike. Sitting in the garden gives you great views down the valley. Would highly recommend!

Lovely cafe! Beautifully made coffee, speedy and genuine customer service. Enjoyed our afternoon breakfast!

Not impressed. It was 1pm at the end of a walk -we decided to get coffees and snacks. Being vegan, we’re limited but were made up there were choices! There was a sign at the entrance to the cafe blocking the way but didn’t investigate. We probably would rather sit inside. Not sure why that was closed - even if it was. Its the Easter holidays. Lovely day so we went to the back to the window hatch and would sit outside. Ordered three vegan sausage balms and coffee. Server said she’d have to check and man came up and said ‘no no no its far too late for breakfast now.’ I hadnt realised this was breakfast. He offered nothing more and was dismissive so we just came away and they lost around £20 sale. Need to be more accommodating, especially for people with limited diets.….but we wont be going back.

Visiting a friend and picked up a few pies here as the shop looked lovely so drew me in! Omg was I pleasantly surprised. Absolutely gorgeous pies full of filling and flavour! Will defo return! If you like your pies this is the place to go!

Fabulous food - served from 12 -2 and you have to be in by 12 as it's that popular. Lovely staff and a good selection of drinks too

I usually use the Khao Sarn restaurant in Walton-on-Thames for takeaway Thai food, but ordered from the Thai Courtyard in East Molesey as Khao Sarn was closed this evening. The food consisted of a spicy beef panang and sticky rice. Or at least that’s what I ordered. There was a layer of oil on top of the beef curry that was literally around 1cm thick. The sticky rice was undercooked to the point that it was crunchy. I called the restaurant to point out the state of the food, at which point the first member of staff told me, ‘I can assure you that the rice was microwaved correctly’. After a brief dialogue where I was basically accused of lying about the state of the food, I offered to send a photograph of the curry to show how bad it was. I duly sent a photograph of how bad the food was, and heard nothing back. I then called the restaurant again, before I was asked to explain why the food was unsatisfactory again to several other members of staff, before finally speaking to a woman who purported to be the manager. The manager was rude and disinterested , making clear that she wasn’t interested in the quality of the food she had served. My advice would be to avoid Thai Courtyard and use Khao Sarn in Walton.

What a surprise- ordered a chicken kebab and chips to share with hubby and was shocked at the size. It was really fresh and tasty. Arrived hot as well.

Visitamos Brid varias veces al año y siempre tenemos nuestro pescado y patatas fritas para llevar de Brid Bay. Nuestro último día fue el Boxing Day (por segundo año consecutivo) y fue genial como siempre. El pescado se despelleja y se recubre con una masa realmente crujiente y ligera y las patatas fritas también están bien cocidas. El personal es eficiente y amable y el lugar está impecable. Muy recomendable! Propina - es solo efectivo.

We both had the pie & mash bowl with 1/2 beef gravy & 1/2 “liquor” (a greenish gravy) & we loved it. The owner was very personable and proud of the reputation she’s built over the decades. It was the best local fare we had in London and also the most affordable meal during our stay. But bring CASH. No cards are accepted.
