The best restaurants serving British food in England

Pancakes were delicious and very filling. Our waiter Leon was welcoming and ensured we were looked after. Would highly recommend to those wanting good food.

Danish pastry completely sealed in plastic. It was really awful so checked packaging. They make them and seal them for a 3 day shelf life, so no fresh bakery produce here, you are as well with a mass-produced supermarket one. Checking the ingredients, they aren't even Danish pastry ingredients. The "superdough" part of the ingredients was just a chemical filled anomaly of things that shouldn't be there. That is not a Danish Pastry. And why all those unnecessary ingredients in the icing? Icing sugar and water would suffice. Interestingly, there is no flour listed on the ingredients for the superdough so I doubt it is a legal list. That is quite a serious omission! I attach a photo of the ingredients list. Philps comment is that they do mention flour later under possible allergens

Extremely tasty pasties! We visited the main Philps in Hayle as a family of 6 with our dog. Dogs cannot go in the shop, but there is bench seating and table benches to the side of the building. There’s a great choice of pasties, together with sausage rolls, big pigs (similar to sausage rolls just half the length, with 3 times more meat inside) and a delicious cake selection. There is a gift shop and refrigerated drinks available too. We had 3 steak and cheese pasties and 3 sausage rolls. All were absolutely delicious and consumed very quickly. We had two iced fingers and a Rocky Road for pudding. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The main store has parking too! The owner kindly let us keep our car in the car park while we took a short walk along the harbour. We did ask permission)

Very loud and a bit expensive for what you got

The food was amazing, and so was the staff 😃

Fabulous place. I had a yummy bacon and egg sandwich. Delicious. The toasted teacakes look fab with cranberries!

We loved it. Perfection location and the quintessential English pub. Outstanding food and service and the ambiance, decor is so wonderful. The highlight of our Cotswolds trip. Near to Jeremy Clarksons new pub as well so this little area is the perfect spot for a weekend spent in the pub. Well done Swan.

A sunny Saturday afternoon meet up with friends. We sat outside and enjoyed sharing a bottle of fizz before eating. The outside area is a lovely setting with lots of big umbrellas. We all enjoyed the food but we did find the portion sizes a little small. For example, we had the baked Camembert which was tiny for a sharing dish as advertised. Luckily we had also ordered the calamari, which was some of the best we had tasted! A bit of extra bread and some olives and it was fine. We all enjoyed our main course choices and we had room for pudding which was a bonus. Delicious chocolate fondant and my friends loved their crème brûlée. Very nice rose wine too. All in all, a very enjoyable afternoon /early evening. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I would eat here again.

Disappointing food. Had the haddock and there was a very small piece of fish in a soup of Hollandaise sauce. Half of the mains were not available.

Macy is an absolute legend. Made our experience so much better. More of her please. Always smiling and a great laugh. U R QT

Fantastic food quality was phenomenal and service was so good and what we loved most is they allowed dogs which is fantastic. They even asked if the dogs could have a treat which was lovely.

Love this place. The food is excellent but what really entices me back is the fantastic friendly and helpful staff. What a pleasure to be served with a smile and friendly chat. Well done Knowles Arms. You have nailed it.

Had a fabulous meal here today. Food was excellent and the service was 100%. The one little issue we had was dealt with professionally and extremely satisfactorily. Would highly recommend.

Came here in November for a meal The food was absolutely fantastic. Had a share platter (£97) The seafood all tasted so fresh and was cooked to perfection. The piece of seafood tart/quiche that came with it would have been nicer warm, we didn't eat it all, but the rest of the food was delicious. Will certainly return

Had a lovely lunch, good quality food, reasonably priced,
