The best restaurants serving British food in England

Still a great bar, been here forever and always been brilliant. Has a few Shindigger beers on tap and a good selection of bottles and cans. Still has good DJs on too, defo earned its place in the city's music history going back to the acid house days

Nice pub with friendly staff and fellow customers. Only went in to keep warm before going to a Southwell Minster Evensong (we like sacred music and fab architecture). Beer okay,excellent home-made sausage rolls straight out of the oven - could have eaten three! Coffee poor but it doesn't set itself up to be a coffee shop. Overall worth a drop in.

We walked through the village into this cosy, charming pub. We'd phoned an hour earlier, and could only get a table for 6pm as it was fully booked on a Tuesday evening. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a good table, so could look out at the pub and it's characterful decor. The pies were superb. I had chicken and mushroom. The icecream dessert was excellent.

We booked a table over the phone and explained that 11 of us would all be having the £8.95 lunch deal (sandwich and a soft drink). We were asked to order in advance which was absolutely fine with us and we went ahead and emailed the advance orders to them a few days ahead. On the day, we were shown our table and the food took about 15 mins to arrive which was fine. Everyone enjoyed their sandwiches and all plates were clear so that's a positive! Upon paying we were expecting to all pay £8.95 each. However, once we had all paid we were told there was still a £30 balance but they couldn't find out why. This went on for about 10-15 mins. Then the waitress discovered it was for a service change! £30 to serve us 11 sandwiches that we'd pre-ordered! Wow! We were never told of this ridiculous charge at the time of booking. Eventually they took this charge off the bill and apologised for the error. The sandwiches were great, the lunch deal was great but the managements decision on adding a service change to a lunch time deal offer should be questioned.

Visited for Sunday lunch with our two children. The food was fantastic (recommend the trio of meats Sunday lunch and the fish pie), loved the extra jug of gravy that comes with the meal. We were visiting the area and booked ahead incase it was busy. We were made to feel so welcome by the landlady and the gentleman that served us. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning next time we are in the area.

Sandwiches, toasted or not, well filled and freshly prepared. Other choices also looked delicious. Chips stay crispy! Delicious coffee, even the decaff. Lovely people running it, very friendly and helpful. Dogs welcome. Only open evening is Friday, also do Sunday lunch roast.

We are local living in the next village and invited some friends for Sunday lunch. We were horrified to learn that at 2.15 they had run out of beef and cauliflower cheese. They serve until 4pm. I then ordered pan fried chicken which was overcooked and tough, the portion was half a chicken breast. The roast potatoes were not roast potatoes very tough to get in to. The vegetables were stringy all in all this was the worst Sunday roast we have had and we eat out at least 2/3 times a week. Finally I do not mind paying for good food but to add insult to injury the food and drinks were overpriced. They are charging city centre prices. I will not be recommending this pub to all our foodie friend

Both had lamb which was lovely and came with really delicious veg including cauliflower cheese and perfect roasties. Excellent sticky toffee pudding too. Service was good and the staff extremely helpful and pleasant, despite being very busy. Husband asked for ice cream with dessert as well as the cream and mentioned it was his birthday. They produced a plate with 'Happy Birthday' on it with a bowl of ice cream on the side! What a lovely gesture. Highly recommend this lovely place. Upstairs dining room is gorgeous.

This is our 2nd visit this year, Hotel and staff very friendly nice to see familiar faces always have a lovely welcome, room 6 has fab view of the beach and see.

Very decent coffee and friendly staff

Dixons has gone so down hill it’s unbelievable. The girls that work there are just soo disgraceful and make up the rules as they go along. Was told previously they stop doing milkshakes at 9.30 so now I just waited half an hour in a queue got to the front at 9.10 and they go now they stop it at 9. Completely disgraceful will not make it as been waiting for soo long they can’t be bothered to even put up a sign at what time they actual stop making the milkshakes. Peed me right off simply won’t come here again. They getting soo many complaints lately losing customers won’t be surprised if sooner then late another establishment that will close down if it keeps going like this.

The venue is great with sea views, we found it a little chilly though. Service was a little slow, didn’t seem to be e ohh staff so those that were there were a little pushed. We skipped starters and went straight for mains. The beef shin was lukewarm and a little dry. The crying beef was disappointing and came with an unidentified dip that appeared to have fermented-This was brought to the servers attention who took the comments to the kitchen where the chef agreed that the dip was past its best and the batch would be thrown away. The poke bowl was served on a plate (!) -say it like it is! Desserts were disappointing too-the baked Alaska was clearly just bought in and was covered in crunchy meringue instead of the soft meringue as expected. The white chocolate and pistachio donuts were tasteless, no hint of those flavours at all-the black coconut ice-cream was good but completely smothered the donuts-maybe re-think the presentation on this one.

Delicious food in a lovely country pub 💛
