The best restaurants serving British food in England

Overcooked dry steaks and burgers. "Well done" steaks were black outside raw inside. Burgers were close to being charcoal. Food not up to normal excellent standards.

Called in to see if they were serving food after a walk along the river, late afternoon so was not hopeful. However, the interior was welcoming with the log burner lit and staff were friendly. A limited menu on offer as I believe it is under new management but happy with the choices available. Husband said it was the best burger he’d had in a while and the pie was very tasty. Our dogs were also made welcome and given a water bowl. Lovely view out the window. Would definitely visit again, thank you.

Just to say we had a lovely time at the FN .. dinner, overnight in the cottage, and breakfast. Service, food, ambience, accommodation etc were all fantastic .. tasteful, thoughtful and authentic - Adam and team deliver a really warm, enjoyable experience

Went on Sunday 11th Feb, food ok, could have been hotter, would have told them, if anyone bothered to ask, service very poor, young team, no leadership, slow with drinks, took 3 attempts to deliver 1 coffee, brought over with no sugar, had to be asked for, no spoon had to be asked for. No goodbye

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and well priced good food

We had champagne afternoon tea at The Melody restaurant.Everything was delicious, and the scones were the best I have ever tried!The staff was amazing!It was a lovely,calm, and relaxed Sunday afternoon!We definitely we will go back again!

We have visited the Warehouse since 1976 and although not regulars due to living in London for most of the time since then we have never had a bad experience. The food has always been great. We have no problems should the menu be limited. It has been wonderful to eat at a vegetarian venue and I am very sad to hear of the closure. There have been ups and downs over the years and I'm just hoping that for Birmingham's sake someone will come to the rescue. Vegetarianism and Veganism are in vogue so what's the problem?

Always get great food here and treated like we matter. Eaten here a number of times now and never been disappointed. Looking forward to our next visit.

Visited on probably six times during summer months this year 2024 , me and my wife rate the fish & chip /steak pie lunch 10/10 , meals are served hot , on a warm plate , freshly cooked , with a complementary fried onion ring ( very tasty ) and slice of fresh lemon perfect with the cod fish, but the best of all is Sandra`s home made Tartar sause , made by Sandra herself , so creamy and satisfying , probably the best Tartar I have ever tasted , for a fairly priced and enjoyable lunch visit this place , but most of all , ask for Sandra`s home made Tartar its the best , Southport Locals Ian & Deb

Wow!! What fabulous food and service we had tonight! I can't recommend Matt and his team enough. Violet was outstanding! Would employ her tomorrow! Thank you so much and will definitely be back!👏❤

Great pub, good food and drinks, decent prices and friendly service. I was served by HW and RB and had a great time, would go again

A lovely traditional pub steeped in local history that for the last few years has suffered from a revolving door of short lived landlords without a clue. What a refreshing change then to see that the Hinch' has finally got new landlords (Oct2024) who clearly know how to run a pub. Within a short period of time they have successfully managed to breathe new life into what had become a tired and soulless place to eat and drink. On the two occasions we've been since the Hinch reopened we've been super impressed with the food. In fact the cheese and onion pie might well be the best pie l've tasted in the Calder Valley (or ever!) and the flavourful and plentiful Sunday Roast offering was a cut above your usual pub ‘roast’ offering. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the food if you’re looking for somewhere to eat - especially when it comes without the hassle of parking in Hebden Bridge. On each occasion we’ve been, the Hinch was busy with drinkers and diners which is great to see. The trade off is you've only got the choice of Manchester owners JW Lees’ own branded mystery beer offerings. Forget the craft-ale revolution, or the fact that Vocation brewery is literally 5 mins away, the solitary guest beer offering here is San Miguel. I guess you can't have everything, but at least the food and atmosphere more than makes up for it!

Lovely meal, beer and fire in a proper Lakeland Pub. Both had steak and ale pie which was great. Sticky Toffee Pudding was excellent. Price reasonable for this area.

Great place. Afternoon tea is very much worth the price.

Booked for Saturday dinner. Got to the restaurant only to find it had been closed for months. They kept sending us reminders about our booking as well. Disgraceful.
