The best restaurants serving British food in England

Visited the new forest for a family Sunday lunch. The three pubs we tried all booked up so left the forest hoping to find somewhere. By chance we stopped here and so glad we did. Lovely garden for the three children with play equipment. Varied menu with child friendly options. Food came out in a timely way and was hot. Lovely helpful staff. Lovely guy whose people skills were excellent. Bill was reasonable. So what started as a disaster with fed up children turned out to be a very nice lunch.

Sofia was a fabulous waitress and her service was amazing. I had the salmon from the special board which was AMAZING thank you for a fabulous meal and excellent service

Me and the mrs stopped by for lunch yesterday amazing steak and drinks. Lovely service from Bella will be back again.

We were at the Swan last night and felt like we were at home in the living room from the start. Great atmosphere, Andy did a great job (thx Andy 🤟) and we were full too. Lovely evening in a great atmosphere...

Stopped in for lunch and the food and staff were amazing. Good quality food that is reasonably priced and is also dog friendly,

Lovely meal and great service from Sahara.

Great little hidden pub with a good selection of specials.

Perfect fish, but I have had tastier chips, get that right and it would be 5 stars.

Very nice restaurant with delicious food. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I had bariatric surgery last year so I cannot eat large amounts of food and on Good Friday they had a set meal option of two or three courses. However, when I asked and explained I could only eat a small portion, they were very kind and said I could order something different, even a children's meal if I needed. The food is delicious and a good portion size.

Best Oatcake shop that I have been to. The Oatcakes are so good that I had to take some home with me.

A lovely afternoon lunch. My wife and I visited this afternoon and were truly impressed with the food and service. I had the venison pie and it was one of the nicest pies I’ve eaten for a long time. I also ordered a side of onion rings and I was not disappointed. My wife had a beetroot and falafel ciabatta and again it was delicious. Wonderful atmosphere and service was great. We will definitely return

Busy Saturday in Bourton but got a table without booking. Friendly staff, interesting choices on the menu and the dishes were excellent. Overall a good casual lunch and would return

Favourite pub in Bury, food and booze was always great. Edit:Such a shame it closed :(

I played two games of chess with one of the regulars, winning the first, but losing the second. Diplomatically, we kept it at that. However, it was the beginning of a long conversation with a whole host of lovely York people, laughing with nice music in the background and fresh pints strewn about. I would love to become a regular here.

Disappointing breakfast. There was no way to accommodate any changes from the set menu - only taking items off the plate but still charging full price. Tried to contact the management to raise our issue but not even a response! Not the best experience or food in this part of the island - wouldn’t recommend and we won’t be back.
