The best restaurants serving British food in England

Myself and my friend John had a wonderful overnight stay here when we visited Thirsk racecourse. The owner Alice went beyond the call of duty when we arrived early and also when we were looking for transport to the track. The establishment was spotless with a great car park facility. The breakfast was first class. We are only sorry we never had the time to sample the Cantonese restaurant. Thanks Alice for your kindness and the friendly welcome. We will hopefully be back in the near future to visit Ripon racetrack. Scott and John.

Me encanta este lugar. He estado aquí muchas veces para el desayuno o el brunch y nunca decepciona. El café es totalmente vegano con una buena gama de opciones de comida. Nos recibió la encantadora Rachel y optamos por el desayuno grande y el sándwich de huevo frito. Ambas comidas se presentaron bien y sabían delicioso. Ingredientes de buena calidad utilizados con mucho sabor. El tofu revuelto es un favorito absoluto. El personal es siempre amable y acogedor y esta es sin duda mi primera opción cuando estoy cenando fuera para el desayuno o el brunch. Los cafés y chocolates calientes también son buenos. ¡Asegúrate de tomar un pastel (o dos) mientras estás allí!

Lovely little family run cafe I had a freshly cooked breakfast and a pot off tea and enjoyed every mouth full. P.s ther was music playing and not radio rubbish but old school 60,s 70,s blues....excellent

Beautiful pub. Beer garden is lovely. Nice atmosphere landlady is always on hand. Staff work hard. Looking forward to the food starting after the refurb

On outside had scaffolding etc so though oh dear, when got in bar pleasently surprised, staff was chatty helpful, bar well stocked...we booked into room no hassle was clean tidy and exactly what required , shower toilet bit in small size but good, would recommend this at 75 pound that night a Saturday was good IMO

Encantador pub. Muy amable, gran servicio y la mejor pizza italiana auténtica de la historia!! 😋 Sin duda una visita obligada si estás en la zona.

Lovely desserts. Best part is it's home made and fresh. 100% recommend

Gran servicio me encanta la pequeña sensación hogareña de la zona de la cafetería los precios son muy razonables el menú es muy tradicional volveremos a visitar pronto gracias.

Lovely little tea room - visited with my mum who had the ‘daily special’ of vegan haggis, mozarella and tomato wrap and I had a glamorgan cheese & leek sausage butty. Both meals along with our warm drinks served in cozy tea cups were really good quality. The staff are also really nice and friendly. Dogs welcome too!

Fairly average fish and chip shop - I’ve had worse but I’ve definitely had better. The chips weren’t very well cooked quite long enough being a bit soggy with no crispness, and the cod had quite a thick batter that was a bit stodgy on the inside; both were quite greasy. The fish itself tasted ok, but completely disintegrated as soon as a knife and fork touched it. The fish was already cooked when I came into the shop but I was assured it was recently cooked (they would say that wouldn’t they?) Cod, small chips and mushy peas cost £10.50. The portion sizes were generous. The food was placed in a plastic bag rather than a paper one which is never a good sign, and would have made it go even soggier if I didn’t remove it as soon as I got to the car. Ok if you’re local and don’t want too drive far but I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way to get food from here when there are several better options such as Skippers not far away.

We had dinner here. The menu is a bit unusual, with not too many homely choices, but we both had shoulder of lamb, which turned out to be a stew. Very pleasant and nicely presented it was too. Staff were (I think) somewhat inexperienced but very keen to do the right thing and there were no mistakes. It must be said that the dining room is rather cramped and the walls are painted dark red, which makes the whole room rather claustrophobic. We took coffee after the meal in the sitting room adjacent. A little biscotti or even a petit four with the coffee would have been a nice touch but was not offered. We enjoyed the visit. £100 two courses for two people, plus bottle of wine and two coffees. That includes a 10% service charge added to the bill. Don'tthey know it's 2023? Just increase the prices by 10% and omit the service charge -- it just rubs people up the wrong way. (Some people will then add their voluntary tip on top anyway.)

Absolutely fabulous coffee with a beautiful view. Will be back for lunch next time 😀. We didn't have time to shop but looked like there was so much fresh produce to enjoy in the shop and butchers. Very friendly staff 👏

Food delicious we both had breakfast. Quality sausage and bacon , black pudding , tomato, mushrooms, beans , fried eggs
