The best restaurants serving British food in England

Great pub with good food and a lovely atmosphere.

Been coming here for regular business meetings. Always a smile at the door and a happy atmosphere. Taylor behind her bar always attentive and keeps our glasses full!

Some friends and I had just completed a bike ride in the area & we were attracted by the 'home to the famous 2 in 1 pie' sign outside the pub. The service was impeccable - young blonde server had us sat down with drinks very promptly. The 2 in 1 pie with steak & Stilton was the best pie I've ever had. Outstanding service & food - must visit if you're in the area.

Lovely Sunday lunch, great carvery. Courtney, our waitress was an absolute breath of fresh air! Made our experience even better! Thank you!

Just a beautiful spot to go for a meal, it's full of charm and history. However parking is absolutely horrendous. I had chicken it was small portion, but good, gravy could have more flavour and was thin. The broccoli was undercooked and hard. The other person had the beef, which looked tough and was. The serving staff were friendly, attentive and quick.... However, one of them looked like she had been pressed gang into working. Obviously no one has to smile, but if your welcoming people it helps. As much as having staff ask if the meal is good, it's better to make sure that the food is cooked well so that being asked becomes less like of a thing... This might sound like I'm saying the food isn't good, it's so much better that other Sunday roast dinners locally. Well worth a visit.

Stumbled upon this lovely cafe when looking for somewhere to get coffee and cake after a walk at Troutbeck. We got a very friendly welcome despite it being fairly close to closing. Amazing selection of cakes including gf and df. Definitely recommend stopping by.

Beautiful place and restaurant. The only issue is, when choosing a piece of steak, we were told that the only way chef would cook it, is the only way chef would eat it. Which meant rare. I don’t like rare, and my husband hates it. We came to a compromise. Unfortunately when served, it wasn’t rare, it was raw. This cost £100! I just wish that I had been served food that I enjoyed eating. Unfortunately I won’t return. We have supported this establishment and the chef, but we felt that we just weren’t listened to. Indeed we were told next time the chef would only cook to his desire for each cut. It’s a bit of a liberty, especially when you try to support local. Maybe listen to your customers.

Probably better atmosphere in the evening

Bottomless brunch was just that. Grace made our visit a very pleasant one. She was attentive and made sure we always had a drink. Chatty and friendly made us feel very welcome.

The Sunday roast was tasty and lots of vegetables - the lamb and stuffing portions were fine - though Yorkshire pudding would have been worth adding. The brownie dessert was very good. Service was excellent.

After 1 hour and 15 minutes of waiting for our 3 meals. Two arrived only to be told they had run out of turkey which was the only option left on work the carvery. To then be told we would have to wait till the chef could cook some chicken as a substitute. The others in our group had all eaten nearly 40 minutes before. Everyone having ordered at the same time. This is no acceptable by any means. The food was good. The waiting time was a joke

It was probably the worst Sunday roast I have had! I booked this on the back of the reviews on Tripadvisor which is a joke. You cannot rely on Trip advisor to give you an honest review !

The front of house staff were very friendly and helpful but the chef wasn’t and in fact didn’t have a personality at all. He’s clearly not picked up on the friendly service that’s always been given to us by Adrian and some of the other chefs over the years. The beef was lovely but the roast potatoes were like bullets and inedible and the dinner wasn’t very warm. What a shame, as we’ve been dining here for years.

We recently decided to treat ourselves to an afternoon tea at Morley Hayes, it was absolutely delightful. The ambiance was serene, and the selection of teas and treats was exquisite. Our waiter, Finn, was incredibly attentive and polite, ensuring our experience was top-notch. Highly recommended for a lovely afternoon out! ☕🍰

This pub is glorious. Jess, Adam and the staff team are the tightest of tight-knit bands. They've all got each other's backs, and new staff become part of the team and "get" the culture in the blink of an eye - it must be infectious! The beers are lovely. The food is home-cooked magic. In summer, the walled garden is a sun-dappled sanctuary from the bustle of life. In winter, the twinkling lights and open fires warm the soul. We love the New Bowling Green!!!
