The best restaurants serving British food in England

As always, all staff and service exceptional

Visited bills for dinner this evening and could not be happier with the food and service we received. We were welcomed by a lovely member of management at the door and were served by Romy and Josh, who were very attentive, warm and professional throughout. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed, calm and positive evening out!

I was served by Judith she was so pleasant we could of chatted to her for hours what a lovely lady an asset to the business it made our lunch extra special thank you so much

If you haven’t visited my only question is why? Everyone loves a pie and believe me they do a great pie. Our first visit today and before we left we were planning further visits. Seriously good and great value.

Had the most fantastic meal for my sister’s birthday! Rose, our waitress for the eve, was just fantastic! Such a lovely girl and impeccable service! The whole thing was finished off with a birthday card from the team, which was a lovely touch!! Thank you for making our visit so special! We can’t wait to come back! Xxx

Nice meal..Service a little on the slow side tonight. Coffee was a little on the cold side. Will try again another day.

We come here regularly for drinks and the atmosphere is great! Had dinner there on Monday and was very positively impressed with the gluten free menu (including desserts) and the fantastic service received! Will definitely come back for food more often!

As always, excellent and friendly service! Comfortable and reasonable prices for both food and drinks. We always enjoy our visits to Babbacombe Inn.

Superb home style food, super generous portion sizes. Nice and accomodating staff with quick service. Varied menu with all the classics. Would recommend to anyone travelling or in the area

Staff friendly who informed us of specials, wasn't rushed to order at counter. Apple pie and spiced apple pie very tasty with a decent mug of tea and coffee.

Simple and straight forward booking online, excellent service, excellent food at a great price and lovely atmosphere.

Loud and staff don't protect punters with mad drunks in women's faces

Het restaurant had niet echt een gezellige uitstraling. Toch naar binnen gegaan omdat ze goed stonden aangeschreven. Het eten stond binnen 5 minuten na de bestelling op tafel (nog sneller dan de bestelde drankjes). Het geheel was goed gebakken, maar er zat weinig tot geen smaak aan de vis. Ook het dessert voldeed niet aan ons verwachtingspatroon en was klef met weinig smaak. De opmaak van de gerechten was echt beneden alle peil. Voor ons zeker geen tweede bezoek aan Poppy’s.

Visited on a Sunday for my partners birthday celebrations whilst staying in Lancaster. Excellent friendly service by everyone and one of the best Sunday roast dinners we've had in a long time! We also stayed for the pub quiz afterwards, which was great fun with a friendly quiz host, and we didn't come last 🙂 Our first visit to Lancaster and, therefore, to Merchants 1688, but we will be returning to both! Whole heartedly recommend a trip here for a meal. Thanks.

Excellent as always. Can't think of anywhere better to stop on a long journey home. Only a small detour from the A1. Staff very friendly and helpful.
