The best restaurants in England

Great Christmas meal (vegan) and lots of it. Starter, main and dessert. All delicious and very tasty.

Excellent! I had a lovely time at the establishment. The staff were really warm and friendly. Definitely visiting here again.

Fantastic coffee, friendly owner, great atmosphere and good pastries. The place has a steady stream of regulars, who the owner knows by name. All in all, the perfect neighbourhood coffee shop.

Myself and my partner are local and have used this restaurant before, so we decided to change things a bit and book for Christmas dinner. What an excellent choice and will probably be booking early for Christmas 25. The atmosphere, service and attention of the staff was second to none and nothing was a trouble. If I am being really picky, we do tend to book upstairs as it is a little quieter. The full menu was on offer and the recommendations of the member of staff looking after us was also excellent (my partner normally has lamb naga, but mutton was recommended, which proved to be a good move, so tender and flavoursome) My main was a chicken madras (I have this regular it does vary from chef to chef) and I have to say it was probably the best I have ever had. The flavours and heat were extremely well balanced. My naan was sliced into 4 quarters which made it easy to eat. The attention to detail of the whole meal was superb. If you like Indian quinine and you are fairly local, you must try this restaurant.

We missed out on coming here in October due to it being so busy so this time we made sure we booked a table. It really didn’t disappoint . The pizza arrived quickly (you can see it being cooked). And it was so incredibly tasty. Definitely in top 3 of best pizza I’ve ever eaten!! The staff were incredible with our 2 year old daughter too. If you get the chance to come here then do it. You won’t regret it.

We came here mid-walk for lunch and were just in awe of the wonderfully kind and cheerful staff who provided us with a warm welcome and delicious food whilst also running a busy Post Office! Cakes are fabulous too. We were visiting in 'Twixtmas' and would recommend anyone visiting at a similarly busy time to book as it is rightly very popular with tourists and locals alike.

Lovely panini, fresh and tasty, plus a great cup of tea and tasty fresh flapjack. Lovely service and great place on the Lymington Quay front.

Very poor service christmas dinner terrible ive had better when i was in prison looks like a micro meal from Morrisons atcept cold

A fabulous local restaurant/cafe - amazing food, super healthy lunch had by us both of their chickpea curry and my partner the veggie curry. The friendliest of people, fab colourful decorations, great service all round. We will certainly be back soon Thank you

I really want to like this place but feel the service is letting it down - although looking at other reviews, we might be an anomaly. We had reserved a table and ours was the last table free - a good sign. But after we had been seated, it took over 20 minutes for anyone to come to take our order, and even then it was only after we attracted attention. Obviously we could see that the restaurant was full, but the staff didn't seem like they were rushed or short-staffed, and were being very attentive to other tables around us. When we were placing our orders, we asked if the house wine - listed on the menu by the glass only - was available as a bottle, to which we were told it was. But when we asked for a bottle of the house red, the waitress said, 'Oh no, only rose or white.' Bit confusing and frustrating, but we were still able to order 2 glasses. After that service did speed up a bit and the food came out at a reasonable interval, beautifully presented and delicious. We decided we wanted to order a dessert, but once again we had to flag someone down to request a menu. I'm not sure if we were in a blind spot, or if there was a mix up over who was meant to be serving us, or that we booked for a bad time, but the service did mar the experience for us. The staff were all polite enough, but we felt forgotten and like we'd inconvenienced them when we drew their attention. It's a shame because the food is so good and the chef is so friendly, and clearly loves his work. I'm not going to say I'll never be back but I have been put off.

Best burgers ever!! Food is delivered on time and hot. Chips do not need anything added just love this food. We have introduced this to friends who have gone on to order again.

Always hot delicious - just that pizza do die for thank you alsways a good service Plenty of filling the crusty always gets wooded up in our house thank you

Went for a light bite for lunch, the Deli Carlo BLT was one of the best BLT I have ever had. Everything used was fresh, taste was fantastic. This was matched with a great service and above all friendly staff!

Once again, excellent. Mr & Mrs and staff, always friendly & helpful. Food perfect whether it's starter, main, desert. Good selection of drinks. Food cooked to perfection You need to book and if they can, they'll fit you in, and try their best to meet your needs.

This cafe was so lovely! From the beautiful decor to the fab service, me and my mum were so impressed! We were both served quickly- we had toasties and a hot drink each, which tasted delicious, and the plates that the food was served on had a lovely flowery design. Also, the toilets were clean and nicely decorated.
