The best restaurants serving British food in England

Had 2 course lunch which I can honestly say it was amazing... we upgraded to have the steak which was cooked to perfection. The service was first class. I would strongly recommend a visit.

Dead during the week. Nathan wants out of pubs. No future in pubs unless they do food

Was so impressed with everything, the staff, service , food , extremely good value and spotless it made my day had oap special fish and chips tea b and b and dessert all for £11 !!

Wonderful Sunday Lunch. We cannot remember when we have had such an excellent meal out. No ping ping bought in processed food here. Fresh vegetables, beef was to die for, enormous home cooked Yorkshire pudding. The dessert menu looked lovely but we all were too full. Definitely going to be our first restaurant of choice. Thank you to all of the staff, both front and back of house for a lovely meal.

I went for a friend's leaving do. The pub has a good choice of local and popular drinks. The food is tasty and came out promptly. Their menu is varied and when it was served, it had been prepared well.

Lovely child free evening, live music in the background, absolutely loved the Allerford chicken, hubby had the steak would definitely recommend paying the Allerford Inn a visit.

Our first visit today and definitely won't be the last... A real gem of a pub. The roast dinners were beautiful - tasty, veg cooked perfectly, huge crispy Yorkshire puds and lots of meat. The service was great - polite, friendly and professional. Bathrooms were clean. Easy to park. Thank you, will definitely be back again!

It's always nice to find a cozy pub which is so accommodating of gluten free. Most of their menu items could be offered as gluten free which was such a treat. I had a lovely fish and chips followed by a chocolate honeycomb pudding.

Came to try the restaurant. Upon arrival at 7pm the place was empty with only one customer. We asked if they had tables available for two. They said no and that were extremely busy and wouldn’t take walk ins due to demand of the restaurant. I looked around a bit confused due to emptiness. I asked is it possible to be seated before any book ins came as we would only be quick. They said no and that they had no bookings. Me and my partner were left feeling confused and disappointed. The staff just stared at us till we left. They lost out on custom and service that night. How disappointing. I would have understood if busy.

Amazing pub. Something for everyone. We come regularly and enjoy the amazing food and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend

Great food and excellent service will be back soon

Having just experienced a masterclass in bad service, I was moved to write a first-ever restaurant review. My wife and I walked in mid-afternoon without a booking on the off-chance there'd be an available table. After checking, the maitre d confirmed no tables inside - fair enough - but that we could eat outside unless we wanted to wait until 6pm to eat. Outside we went and sat in a heated booth with a reserved sign. The server then told us we would need to move but couldn't confirm what time the booth booking was due, and all the other reserved signs were just there to help manage walk-ins. Odd way to handle it, but no problem - we moved to a non-booth table and the server kindly moved a patio heater for us, took our order for a roast each and placed our cutlery on the table. He then returned to tell us that in fact there was no food available. As in, no honouring of our order, no starters available, no food at all. On questioning he said it was because they needed to 'protect advance bookings'. No answer to what would've happened had we waited until the 6pm table; seemingly no solution for walk-ins whatsoever. So we ordered a cold sausage roll bar snack. And then the cherry on the service cake - the poor server was sent out by his maitre d to collect our cutlery. No attempt by the maitre d to apologise, make any attempt to explain, comp the cold sausage rolls or offer us a round of drinks. If we'd been told at the beginning there was no food available, we would've understood and left without spending money on a round of drinks (and the cold sausage rolls). It will take quite something to convince us to return. To the owners of The Talbot - you've done a lovely job on the renovation, your food looks great, and you've created a great vibe. But your customers are your lifeblood and your people are your key strength and you seem to have forgotten both those essential points.

Enjoyed a delicious avoid and poached egg brunch on sourdough toast. Big portion, great value for money. And got to sit in the rare November sunshine -idyllic!

My husband and I went here for Dinner last night for our anniversary, and the food was outstanding. The service was excellent too. So good we have booked to go back for my birthday.
