The best restaurants serving British food in England

Well, we were here today for a Mothers Day lunch. We’d been a couple of years ago and it’s been decorated since then. It looks much better. We looked at some of the meals been served nearby and they all looked decidedly underwhelming and a bit “ greasy spoon cafe”. So, undeterred we thought we’d play it safe. We just ordered mains. One daughter had the mussels and my wife, myself and our other daughter had the roast chicken. The chicken was really nice but the vegetables were overdone, the Yorkshire pudding was a limp sponge and my roast potatoes looked like boiled ones. Having said all that I did polish everything off and it was quite tasty. Jess said her mussel sauce was a bit bland and the portion was small for a main course. As for the positives: the wine was good, my gluten free beers were great, our cocktails (quite a few of them) were very good and so was my coffee. But everything took an age to come out of the kitchen and one of the blokes bringing it out looked like he’d been sleeping in a duvet in the nearest bus shelter. Our waiter, the only English chap, was excellent but he had to keep apologising for the slow service. For Richmond, the prices were not bad and we actually had a very nice time - but then we are a family that gets on and pretty much always have a good time when we are out. In essence, it’s a good place in some ways but a gastro pub it is not.

Cold food tasteless burger just shoved in my face no words spoken

Amazing food great pub perfect location

Went for a meal with friends - we received great service & the food was hot and tasty. Place was clean and peaceful. Thanks to Shania & Remel for looking after us all

Bloody brilliant. Food and ambience superb. Service with a smile. Superb plaice and monkfish Thai curry. The desserts are all made by the chef. We had a pavlova but look forward to coming back for the chocolate torte. Very underrated restaurant of the highest echelon.

No wheelchair access we were looking at starting a business venture there but with no disabled access it's not something that we are interested in

Me and my friend came here for dinner and it was absolutely wonderful! Alex who served us was so welcoming and informative. He made our experience an absolute delight. The food was incredible. We are so glad we travelled to eat here. We will be back!

Great meal with good service and friendly staff.

Served in the Bar for a second time on Saturday 28th September and served by the two same men. They were amazing and went above and beyond to make the experience for us as enjoyable as possible. They gave us a lovely table despite an event being on and even set up the specials board accordingly. Service was friendly, quick and fantastic. Food was good too, as were the drinks and the ambience overall. Can't recommend highly enough.

Just a great pub with great ‘real’ food. Absolute gem.

Bday brunch and Ella was the best had such a good time. Jill who took the brunch orders was really on it despite how busy it was defiantly cone again

My favourite place for breakfast after a sunny, bracing walk from St Davids along the coastline. Service was spot on and food was delicious. On way out, grabbed a brownie to go. The chef had just made marmalade and asked if I'd like some to go with. Lovely! Warmed the brownie and marmalade that evening and good god now I no longer want to eat anything else. Heavenly.

Lunch on the 8th hit the spot as always 👍..& has often been the case, 2 😋😋 omelettes were consumed with gusto 👍👍... You know we'll be back & probably for the reasonably priced Christmas fayre menu..👍

Ok booked here for an anniversary meal. On entrance no greeting from boy staff. Never asked for our reservation and just sat us down. The place was empty with droll music playing from the 1920’s unfortunately unless I was in my 90s I already hated it. The waiters who were very young and experience were nice enough but needed an older head to guide them. Ordered a flat glass of champagne £18 per glass how they can justify that I don’t know. Looked at the menu but was put off by the whole atmosphere so left after a glass of fizz. Can’t comment on the food unfortunately but if its as uninspiring as the restaurant we’ve dodged a bullet. Maybe need to look at a few other places in the area to see how service is done. Very poor I’m afraid. Would not return!

Very good Sunday roast. Good value for money. Definitely recommended.
