The best restaurants serving British food in England

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch here. The food was absolutely excellent - although very limited for me as a vegan. But staff were really accommodating and couldn’t be more helpful. And it’s the staff that really are the stars here. We chatted to one young man who was incredibly helpful and also surprisingly knowledgeable about the Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple films (some of which were filmed here!) and he couldn’t have been nicer. Then there was Kate who waited our table. Hands down the best member of waiting staff I’ve ever experienced - anywhere. Helpful without being overbearing. Genuinely friendly. And able to anticipate our needs without us asking. Setting, ambience, food and staff: all excellent. We WILL be back.

Adecuada inicio - grub formulada en su mejor. Era un servicio realmente bueno, una persona de nuestro grupo es alérgica al gluten. Después de mencionar a Mike todos estábamos completamente atendidos y muy feliz! La alternativa verdadera ventaja sobre la opción libre de gluten. Seguro que volveremos, delicioso

Fantastic! I’m a regular visitor to this shop and I’ve never bought anything that hasn’t been perfect. From the “Cumberland curl”, a variety of marinated chicken breasts, lamb joints, bacon (including treacle and breakfast), a variety of different pies, “chilli growlers”, marinated lamb shanks and so the list goes on. Absolutely first class. I’ve been nudged into writing this review after my husband tried their new spicy lamb pie. He said it was “excellent” with “great spices”. All this with such friendly, professional, informative service. All I can say is if you’re in Windermere don’t miss a visit.

Always a warm welcome accompanied by great food and fast service even when busy. In an atmospheric Victorian cottage A real Gem. Simon

Hemos disfrutado el maravilloso pan y bollos de Jane y Craig durante un tiempo, maravillosamente hechos y deliciosos, con un servicio tan amable. Sin embargo, mi hija de 12 años y yo nos unimos recientemente a uno de sus cursos de panificación por primera vez y tuvimos un día maravilloso. Hicimos tantas golosinas y Craig y Jane fueron muy generosos con su tiempo, conocimiento y experiencia. Aprendimos mucho y trajimos a casa tantos panes y bollos diferentes, fue una excelente relación calidad-precio y nos ha dado una habilidad para toda la vida. ¡Gracias a los dos!

Absolutely gorgeous food, classy interiors and fabulous waiting and cooking staff. I thoroughly recommend this to everybody.

Just a bus ride from Leicester, small and cosy place to eat for a breakfast, which we did, and had their pancakes and chocolate and hazlenuts. Enjoyed it so much we went back (we had time to kill in Barwell!) for lunch and had a lovely rustic lunch. Tasted excellent, portion sizes just right. Nice and fresh food, great service. Enjoyed our two visits in the one day very much. Would definitely return.

Superb anniversary surprise. Every tiny detail of this evening has been excellent. The food, drink and service all 5 stars. I would say Furna deserves the best in Brighton and possibly Sussex accolade. The team couldn’t do more to make our evening memorable. Can’t wait to return.

Halal Meat Breakfast..well presented and delicious. The staff were very attentive and the food came out piping hot. The place itself was very clean and spacious. Very child frfiendly. The toilets were very clean and smelt very fresh.

Wow fully exceeded my expectations. The service was prompt and quality of food was great. Will be back again. Everyone enjoyed it

Never go anywhere else to eat when visiting town, in fact we make a special trip just for our lunch. All the food is homemade and the specials are top notch. If the Corned beef pie is on the specials then that is a must!! The atmosphere is welcoming, friendly and that goes for the customers and the staff and the owner/chef is a great guy!

Very quaint and quirky cafe with a lovely atmosphere. We had the most amazing afternoon tea, simply delicious 😋 the staff are very friendly and engaging. Don't worry if you can't manage it all, as you get a dinky box to take home everything you can't manage. Thank you for a super afternoon! Loved it 💖

We have drove past this place many times and always said we would give it a try - today was the day! We were pleased to see that they have an upstairs area with additional seating which was useful as seating is limited in the main part of the deli. I ordered the chicken pesto melt and my partner ordered the halloumi, harissa and hot honey sandwich with a side of crispy potatoes. We also ordered a vanilla latte and a vanilla iced latte. Both the food and drinks were very tasty and plentiful. The sandwiches arrived toasted with crisps on the side which was a nice addition. We found the menu to include a varied choice of options which swayed away from the generic cafe sandwiches which is always good to see. We will certainly return as the food was good quality and a reasonable price.

Absolutely outstanding fish and chips! Crispy yet fluffy chips cooked to perfection, beautiful fresh fish with the lightest batter. We also had pineapple fritters, which were the best we've ever tasted. We found Charlie's by chance after reading a blog recommendation as a last-minute dinner, we were so impressed we went back again on our holiday. Huge thank you to the staff for being so kind and friendly. You are really great ambassadors for Truro and your business.
