The best restaurants serving British food in England

Went here for lunch with our two sons 8&11) and my husband after they had played football golf at Tapnell farm and I walked the Tapnell walking loop with our dog. Shakshuka with feta was delicious; my husband and I both had it. Burgers on the kids menu and main menu were tasty and homemade. Our youngest wasn’t keen on the tortilla chips with his kids burger so only had the burger and two halves of cucumber. Oat latte was really good. Parking is available on the street but might be trickier in busy times. Would definitely recommend for lunch.

Food was fabulous. They offer a wide range of delicious foods that are GF and DF. Service was great. Staff were friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The environment was comfortable making our lunchtime feel not rushed. I would recommend 😊

Think I dropped unlucky on my visit, the chips weren't fresh cooked although plentiful. The batter on the fish was thick and soggy. I'm hoping my visit wasn't typical of the usual standard . The lady behind the counter was very friendly but with the economic crisis going on people have to vote with their feet and I'm going to be more careful I'm getting value for money

We went for lunch on Sunday: it was very busy, staff were rushed off their feet. We had a long wait in noisy restaurant, when food arrived it was very ordinary - not worth the price. Would not recommend.

We had a wonderful meal which was very tasty and fresh. The appetiser of pizza and dips was a welcome extra, while we decided on drinks. Great service for the staff

Food was fantastic and the service was too. The food in particular was absolutely delicious. Throughly enjoyed our time at Elliot’s we are regulars and always love it.

I found Piecaramba on google when looking for a non-boring place to eat given that we were only visiting Winchester for the day and i didnt want to go somewhere that i could just go whilst at home. Piecaramba did not disappoint. I booked a table and the staff were prepared, very welcoming, warm, friendly and just very tentative to what we needed. The restaurant itself doesnt look much from the outside but is bursting with personality inside and the food is exquisite. The fact that i was able to play the original playstation (which i very much played in my youth) with my kids while having pie and mash (not just a standard one either, really flavourful) and a cheeky spritzer was just amazing! I felt so at home here. Really cannot emphasise enough how much i loved this place, gutted there is nothing like this where i live. Really recommend. My kids had the best day! Thankyou.

Popped in on feb 13th with our small dog..There was large selection of food on the menu. Prices were very reasonable and service was excellent. Staff really friendly and helpful. Food was cooked lovely and was piping hot.. (some classic tunes playing in the background) not to loud as to spoil our meal. Would definitely recommend for breakfast 5 out of 5 I will definitely pop in on our next visit Broadstairs.

Have not been here for a couple of years.. i went today and got brown stewed chicken portion of hake and sexy juice and my partner had callaloo and okra.. and i just said to him i need to leave a review portion size has improved loads and the taste is 10/10! Really enjoy my meal… only downfall my partner asked for white rice and got rice an peas😕.. but other than that can’t fault it!

We bought sandwiches from Cintra to take away for our walk. Just a cheese and tuna baguette and a cheese and cole slaw baguette - nothing fancy - but they were £8 each! Neither sandwich had any seasoning and were completely underwhelming. If you’re going to charge that much for a sandwich, make it memorable and delicious. We won’t be going back.

Having spent 25 years in the hospitality industry, working front of house and management side I am well aware of the correct ways when dealing with people. We would always do our best to ensure customers were happy and enjoyed their experiences. They would then recommend our establishment to friends and family. I can never recall an occasion when we turned away an opportunity to make money. Especially not for the sake of £10!! I was part of the group of 10, changed to 8, who were spoken to very rudely by the "owner" of The Tardebigge on 24th October after querying the non return of a deposit To be asked "well do you want the table?" in the way she asked us was totally unacceptable. I told her we obviously did as we had no intention of losing another £40. At that she completely lost it and said she would give us the £50 we'd paid and we were to leave. I fully appreciate the need for non-refundable deposits at Christmas, weekends and other busy times of the year but a Thursday lunch hardly comes under that umbrella and to return £10, make customers happy and likely to tell others, whilst also taking around £250 is surely the better option? We'll certainly not return

We booked the private dining room for a birthday celebration and have to say it was perfect! We had liaised with Craig, the manager over the last 4 weeks and he ensured all our requirements were met. We arrived last Saturday night to be greeted by Charlotte and our party of 17 was shown to the room, she was extremely helpful and friendly. The room had been set out as we wanted it and decorated tastefully. Charlotte checked that the pre-order was correct and arranged for the first courses to be served. Food was exceptional, gaps between courses so we could chat and staff very attentive to ensure drinks were topped up when needed and any sauces etc. were required plus checking to ensure the food was OK. The party was a great success and everyone enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Many thanks to Charlotte, Aaron and Joe, who all worked hard to ensure the night was enjoyed by all and were a credit the Vane Arms. Thanks also to the Chefs, who created some great dishes and all served in a timely manner, highly recommend the crème brûlée, absolutely perfect!

We had a wonderful lunch in the garden for a birthday celebration, we had done the same last year and had a wonderful time so hoped this year would live up to our expectations from last year. It really didn’t disappoint. A wonderful setting, great staff and top quality food. You never feel rushed or over crowded, so it’s very relaxing. A real gem!

Had a wonderful brunch here, full English breakfast and friends had different but all food was superb as was the service, nothing too much trouble. Quirky booths with lots of games that can be played whilst waiting. Have also been here just for coffee and tea and service is brilliant, will be back again soon.

I shared tge vegetable flan with salad with my mum, prices very high! The flan was bland, pastry soggy and the green salad was practically inedible, not fresh and covered in a nasty dressing to disguise the fact!!The potati salad was powdery with a cheap mayonnaise and I'm not sure what the winter coleslaw was!!! Really disappointing, overpriced and no care given to the food at all. A very amateur concern.
