The best restaurants serving British food in England

Having read the reviews and spoken to friends I went with good expectations. Sadly it seems that today 23rd March they must have had a bad day and as a result I wouldn't return back here. As someone who is neurodivergent it was sensory hell from the moment I walked in to when I walked out. The noise of the music playing was at the level of a nightclub. The amount of times that guests / staff walked into me made the experience more problematic. It would have been beneficial for the staff to have made me aware that they were behind me and passing food, or glasses onto the table. The table we were sat at was not something that a greasy spoon cafe would use rather than one that is meant to be of a good standard. As for the food, it wasn't to the standard of a roadside cafe. The roast potatoes had gone cold, the chicken felt like it was uncooked, it was that bad I just couldn't eat it. I didn't trust the staff to be able to fix it. Having looked at the other reviews today the staff must have had a bad day, I just hope that they don't have too many other bad days

Wow 🤩 what an amazing little pub, roaring fire, friendly atmosphere, Tim and Heather were such fantastic hosts so knowledgeable about the pub and its history. The food was absolutely fantastic thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend this hidden gem.💎

We stayed nearby and ate here one evening for the pop up pizza .. it was a good decision The location was lovely , the staff were really welcoming and the food good . Pizzas a bit too cheesy but great dough Maybe a veggie one other than plain would be a good idea for the future ..

This place is a gem, we stopped in on the way to Longleat. Very decent "cafe" food, generous portions and the service is outstanding. As the parent of a child with autism I was really pleased to see that they employ neurodiverse people. Finally, it's very good value for money. 4 of us had brunch with drinks for £50. George was a wonderful waiter, kind, friendly and some of the best customer service I've ever had. They also catered for my son's gluten-free diet, to the extent of putting fresh oil into the fryer for his chips. There is parking very nearby, 1 hour is free. I couldn't fault it.

An lovely tea Garden and great for a ploughman's lunch. The staff are very pleasant and the service and quality of the food is excellent.

Nos encontramos con un amigo para un almuerzo rápido y fue recibido por un personal amable y servido rápidamente en la caja. La comida era deliciosa y sin duda volvería de nuevo.

What a great 2 night stay we had. Set in a wooded area with great views. The rooms are clean and certainly adequate. Paul the host is remarkable. He is so friendly and couldn't do enough for my partner and I top service throughout our stay. Fantastic

Pasties here are excellent! Filing is tasty and not too peppery as some tend to be. Lovely proportion of meat to veg too. Best in Newquay and we've tried a few over the years.

A fantastic village bakery with small cafe next door. Fresh bread, cakes, quiches, sandwiches etc as well as fruit and veg. Reasonably priced and great quality.

An old village inn that has sadly seen better days. I’m giving it 2 stars purely because the owner was so friendly but the place itself felt dirty, stank of something that was akin to stale urine and was generally uncared for. A shame because it could be a nice place if some attention to detail was made. Not a chance I would go back until then.

We organised a wake for my Father at Hinckley Golf club. Michelle and the team made it really easy to plan. The location was fantastic with ample parking and the space was really well equipped for the event. The food was plentiful and tasty and all in all - I would highly recommend this venue.

5 of us just had fabulous Sunday lunch. Selection and generosity of vegetables amazing. We all wanted a dessert but just didn’t have room! Next Sunday going with 2nd grandson, going to have a smaller main course so I can have pud. Very friendly hosts and conscientious waitress. 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I have been enjoying ‘The Wellhouse’ for a few years now. Wood fired steaks and fantastic bread. Great service, keep it a secret.

This place provides a good selection of breakfast and lunch time meals and drinks . The food is nicely cooked and they will cook it as you request. The drinks too are good , as are the staff who are pleasant and helpful
