The best restaurants serving British food in England

Went into pow today to have a small lunch was served by Karina the assistant manager who was so helpful and catered to my every need, my food was delivered by the lovely Olivia who is in the Halloween spirit with her spider headband, food was made by the lovely James and was amazing as per usual

Excellent view. Great selection of specials. Seafood heaven. Lovely selection of pastries too. Additional bonus: They sell bait for fishing and crabbing.

A nice place to come for English breakfast in Bristol. Staff are lovely and the food is great value. Seems very popular with the locals even early on a Saturday morning which is always a good sign. Would definitely pop in next time I'm visiting Bristol.

Rude, extremely disappointing, shocking and disrespectful staff! We arrived after making a booking the day before. I booked 2 Adults, 1 child aged 2. The booking itself was pleasant. We got slightly lost, rang in and again very pleasant. Arrived 7 minutes late and walked into a very ‘local’ pub feel. All eyes on us. We were told by the bar person that they were glad we found them. A woman appeared and looked at my Grandson and commented ‘we don’t have highchairs’ I commented that I’d booked ahead with a child on the booking? She said she would go down in the cellar and dust something suitable to bring up then asked me if I had a chair in my car???!!!! We approached the bar and I said I was confused as I’d booked a child ahead of coming. I was ignored, I said once again and the younger woman behind the bar looked at me and in a slightly raised voice utttered ‘well, yes she’s gone to get you something hasn’t she!!’ Based on this experience I told my Friend we were leaving as being treated like this was way beyond acceptable. I wasn’t happy and I let it be known! My Friend and I were left shocked and felt we had been treated appallingly by 2 extremely rude women. Whilst we were putting my Grandson in the car the older women came out and further patronised us with her offering of a dusted off cellar chair and we told her that her colleague was vile and it had gone beyond the chair. She walked off. Having read through the reviews I can see hands have changed and so this may be why I didn’t receive the reputation I had heard of. I have the feeling they felt they were above us! I’m not easily impressed so their Morgan cars and gold large Baroque chairs only further deepens my suspicions that they think they’re better 🤣🤣

One of the friendliest cafe restaurants I have ever had the pleasure to frequent. The food is consistently cooked well & served with a smile. My wife & I go at least once per month to eat breakfast & have done so for the last three years. I would highly recommend this eatery to anyone.

Quick and attentive service. We had cake and tea which was really nice. However, prices were at the high end. Good stopping off point in New forest.

I went for an evening meal with a friend we both had a starter and a main course, I had the tom yum seafood soup which was very nice, my friend had spring rolls which he said were also very nice. For the main course I had the monkfish curry which I thought was very bland and really only tasted of coconut, my friend had duck and said it was very tough. We did tell the waiter our thoughts which he said would pass on to the chef. We paid the bill and left a tip which reflected what we thought of the quality of the food. However on returning home I noticed that we had been charged 12 1/2% service charge on top, which I think it totally wrong! It really should be left to the discretion of the customer, if you have had a nice meal and good service then you leave a good tip if not then you might not want to leave a tip at all. I class this as theft! I thought the food was overpriced and certainly not the best thai food I have eaten and with the service charge on top, I certainly won't be returning and would not recommend.

Lovely atmosphere, food, service and incredible drinks- will definitely be visiting again!

Great coffee and superb cheese scones! A lovely place to stop off on our walks. Need to return for lunch as the meals coming out looked amazing. Good ambience and enjoyed the autumn pumpkin decorations.

Fabulous meal for our Anniversary. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. We would highly recommend No.5. Atmosphere is perfect for couples and equally larger groups. Thank you

Busy place and for good reason. Delicious and the two ladies running the show are amazing!

This was the first visit, my wife and I had the pensioners specials. Food was excellent, portion size was just right. Pleasant genuine attentive staff and very nice surroundings. I had to ask about the mushy peas, best I've tasted... cooked on the premises not from a tin. We used to have a " go to " place in Whitley Bay but I think this is the new one! We will be back

First time visit, food and service were excellent and very reasonably priced. Very courteous staff, made to feel very welcome. More than happy to return

A regular restaurant for us It never fails to impress Food service ambience everything is perfect Caroline and her team run a tight service The food is excellent and very good value for money We will be back

Having driven past for 20 years I finally took heed of the positive reviews and visited for a quick business lunch. We will not return. Nice building, pleasant layout. Cold reception from a disinterested young man in tracksuit at the bar, hardly bursting at the seems with the good and great of Henley, this was a very down market experience. Pie and mash with gravy out of a tin did nothing to improve the atmosphere.
