The best restaurants serving British food in England

Really good quality, large portions. Worth waiting for

After a long period of absence we went for drinks here on Christmas Eve. Not a single pump was working and a small bottle of Peroni and an equally small (and disgusting) bottle of Prosecco was charged at £10! The manager was overheard telling another punter that they were “running down the stock” which translates to “we’re going to be closing soon”. Such a shame - this used to be an amazing pub years ago. Mis-management has led to the state it is now in. Bring back the former owners.

This is definitely the best place to eat in Westward Ho ! Amazing carvery with lots of lovely fresh vegetables. Good choice of other meals on the menu and a very impressive dessert trolly. Good service, clean, comfortable and very friendly.

The double smashed burger + crispidy fries were better than my first kiss with my friend Arthur so I would totally recommend !

Not as good as use to be.Last couple of times theres been a issue1. charged twice when i ordered online got 2nd charge back a week later but not nice getting messages from your bank saying overdrawn when wasn't my fault. 2. Didnt get all i ordered when i rang ahead. Got refunded next day but spoilt my dinner that evening when was really looking forward to it. Will go back to Five ways from now on.

Great country pub, came here for food recently, food and service were great. Will be back soon.

Fabulous food with a large menu. Reasonably priced with large portions.Very friendly staff and attentive service.Loved the Spanakopta starter and the Lamb Kleftico.Good choices for chicken dishes. The breakfasts are varied and tasty. The best of all was the Sunday lunch with 5 choices of meat, just fabulous.

Great value and quality food. Rebecca was as attentive and efficient as she has always been for the last 16yrs. Maybe the surroundings are getting a bit tired and do require an update.

Haven’t been in for a few years as we’d heard it had been taken over and standards had slipped, they certainly hadn’t slipped! It was a packed Thursday lunch, full of ladies due to attend a function however the friendly waitress found a table for us and our two dogs in the snug. I ordered fish cake starter with triple cooked chips as I didn’t want a main course and my husband ordered club sandwich and chips. There was way too much food and we could’ve happily shared the chips and still left some. You certainly don’t leave hungry. Only two negatives, I used to love the steak pudding but it’s no longer on the menu and secondly a hot fish cake on top of a piece of iceberg lettuce doesn’t work. There was no need for the lettuce as it was slimy due to the hot fish cake. The refurbishment is lovely without losing the character of the pub. We won’t leave it so long next time.

What a find! This has been the loveliest meal we have had this year. The food is beautiful, my husband had haddock and loved it. I had rib of beef and it was just delightful some of the best food I have had. The landlord was super lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The staff were lovely and attentive but not over bearing. The menu gives lots of choice and there is a brilliant gin menu. They are dog friendly too so we all had a wonderful time- thank you. We have booked up for Sunday lunch when we are next on holiday over here. I couldn’t recommend this place enough

Just a quick shout out to the Cliff house. Usually put a review on every now and then for the Cliff house. Ate here last week and yet again exceptional service, great choice of drinks and good menu. Had a chateaubriand which was cooked perfectly. Price is ok for location. Thoroughly enjoyable

Stayed here for one night as a last minute break,this was one of only a few places left available in the lakes area at the time,at 1st i thought it was gonna be too far out of the way for anything but im so pleased we stayed there. The place is in a lovely little village and the pub itslef is very cozy with a log burner and a real retro bar full of character,the staff work very hard and nothing was any trouble esp the scotch guy,he never stopped. I wouldnt hesitate to book again,we had a great night and returned home feeling recharged and refreshed.

Dont go for the Tea’s - which are unlimited and fabulous. Dont go for the food - which is actually so delicious, seriously. Go for Jason! He is the heart and soul of the place, he is exuberant, funny, fabulous and friendly. We will be back, because of how amazing our service was.

What a fabulous pub. The place is gorgeous, the staff (especially the incredibly patient Kira!) are wonderful. I had the best pie I think I have ever eaten and my husband had the delicious sausages. Louis the dog was very appreciative of the titbits we shared with him!

Really good food and friendly, warm service. Lovely evening out. Couldn’t fault the welcome and the food was delicious! Great value.
