The best restaurants serving British food in England

Favourite pub in Bury, food and booze was always great. Edit:Such a shame it closed :(

Lovely cosy place, excellent choice of beers, equally brilliant food! Highly recommended for eating out

My wife and I were looking for a restaurant for our evening meal. We tried the Rose Tree - it was busy and we had no reservation but the staff moved a few tables around and were able to fit us in. The place was very busy, but very friendly and cosy, the food was excellent and we had a really good evening.

Super little cafe. Fab views of sea. Indoor & outdoor seating. Free parking nearby. Dog friendly with lots of dog bowls provided. They also do ice cream for dogs as well as humans. Nice food at a good price with some reasonably priced options. Great choice of coffee and cake.

Probably the best steak pie meal I've had - pies and sides are phenomenal, service superb, beautiful building. Not quite five stars as at dessert stage we were disappointed, rosemary wasn't detectable in the apple and rosemary crumble, and the cheeseboard was just supermarket cheddar/brie/stilton straight from the fridge - for a county with such brilliant local cheeses that was a let-down. But you won't need a pudding, stick with the phenomenal pies and sides (be sure to try the mushy peas) and you'll be well fed and happy.

Great beer selection. Fantastic live music.

First time here and have to say the food was first class. I’ll go as far to say this was probably my best fillet steak I have ever had. Lovely cosy old building down a side street steeped in history. So glad we chose to eat here. Bravo

Best food we had on the island during our week long holiday. Everyone ate VERY well, including my 8 and 10 year olds. We will be back next time we are on the island!

I have allergies but every singe member of staff i spoke with ensured i could be catered for. Friendly & welcoming. Joshua was very polite & attentive.

Great food lovely place lovely staff. I can't recommend this place enough just overall very nice.

Great little find! Out for the day and really fancied Sunday lunch. Hit the jackpot here! Made so welcome by Lauren and her staff. Nothing too much trouble. "Of course, no problem" response to every question. Loved that serve 2 sizes of meals as we tend to waste so much nowadays. The roast was delicious, real food cooked well and served with a smile. They even provided me with a takeaway dessert as I had no room for it at the time. We highly recommend.

Two meals were lovely, however the third was steak which was very chewy.

Good range of beers. Lovely beer garden

Questioning the rating here by others - was it the timing we visited (busy Saturday lunch)? The signature ‘the Hoof’ burgers were just tasteless and simply so dry! It tasted like supermarket mince in a burger shape and cooked to dry without any seasoning. I was starving but left half because it was simply not enjoyable. Funnily enough, the waitress lady did not ask the most common question ‘how is your food’ - she must’ve known something was wrong yesterday. We could’ve chosen so many other places in Rye so it was a big let down…

The soufflé and burger were fabulous but the big let down were the French fries which appeared to have been served from the bottom of the deep fat fryer, full of fat and blackened potatoes. Otherwise all was lovely.
