The best restaurants serving British food in England

It always a pleasure to visit this very friendly tea room and enjoy some of the wonderful cakes, as well as the well cooked breakfasts and lunches that are on offer. Ben’s lemon drizzle and poppy seed cake that I enjoyed yesterday was food for the gods. I know of no other such business that when they make a hot chocolate that you get a cup of it, and alongside it a jug of the same; both for a very reasonable price. Brilliant customer service and I can’t wait to go back for another visit. The venue can also be hired for private functions and I often notice as I drive past in the evenings that such events are taking place. Dennis Usher

Lovely little place, so friendly and reasonably priced. It’s not just a cafe but also a shop where you can get party supplies and order birthday cakes. Excellent breakfasts and afternoon tea (think you have to book afternoon tea) and the cakes are really good. My Friday morning choice for a bacon sandwich takeaway!! Last time I went in there I heard someone say they did cake decorating parties for children which sounded a great idea 👍🏻. Don’t let the lack of parking straight outside put you off, park on one of the nearby streets or down closer to Titanic mills and have a walk on the canal before or after!

What a wonderful idea to have afternoon tea delivered! I tried them out based on the recommendation of someone and wasn't disappointed. We went for the ploughman's platter with the add on dessert tray. There was so much choice in the platter - and so much food! So nice to be able to enjoy something like this during lockdown. Even once lockdown is over, the platter would be great to enjoy as a picnic with a bottle of wine. Have ordered the afternoon tea for mum. Lovely family run business. Will definitely use them again and highly recommend.

Sonia and the team are so welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Very tasty breakfasts, all cooked fresh, presented well, and great portions too.

Fantastic range of cakes all made on site. Slices, or large cakes for Parties, Weddings Birthdays etc All fresh and very reasonably priced. All to take away.

Sucedió al otro lado del carro en el Birmingham Weekender. Tomé un café para llevar, pero a diferencia de muchos de esos lugares, este es café recién hecho.

Well, this came up on trip advisor and we just had to investigate. The Cafe is inside the main entrance of the assisted living building. It's very clean, well laid out and nicely presented. The prices are competive and the food was freshly prepared. If you are in the area and fancy a tea and a sandwich then this is definitely worth seeking out.

He comido allí un par de veces (desayuno), y también he cenado para llevar un par de veces. Es una cafetería encantadora, dirigida por un personal encantador que siempre es muy amable y servicial. Los desayunos son increíbles, con una amplia selección de alimentos que normalmente no pensaría para el desayuno, pero son deliciosos. Sin duda volveremos a frecuentar el Silk Route Cafe.

Decided to make a quick stop to grab some breakfast. Ordered breakfast baps and was delighted by the quality. Great stop for food made to perfection

Perfectly located for a snack before visiting adjoining Charlton House. It was pleasant to sit outside and watch the world go by. Staff were welcoming and helpful, going the extra mile to ensure everything was the best it could be. There is a good mix of people from the local community - the real world rather than a rarified segment. Good honest cafe fayre, but done with care and with an eye to quality. Would certainly seek this place out again if in the area again.

Came actually by accident, but had a lovely breakfast and coffee From outside you wouldn’t know what was inside, but it’s well worth a visit

We visit Belton every year, and last year, discovered this wonderful place! Tucked away in the hamlet of Welby - off the beaten track [use a Sat Nav!] is the fabulous Crown and Anchor. This is a proper country pub with the addition of it's own Smokehouse - and what and amazing addition! We visited twice this week, it was so good... The menu is extensive and varied, with a combination of tradition British pub food and their smokehouse specialities. All extremely well served, presented and tasty, not to mention the generous portions. You do not want to miss the rack of ribs [full or half - although the half is what most places call a full rack ] - be prepared to be full! And the amazing Smoking Board, consisting of Ribs, Pulled Pork and Korean Chicken - all from the smokehouse, accompanied by their hand cut chips - hot and crispy and soft inside, coleslaw, extra BBQ sauce and dressed salad. Finger bowls and extra napkins are provided and needed! Also available are a fabulous range of very different burgers - including the triple - beef, pork and chicken - oh my! Starters are available in abundance, as are desserts - but we have never had room for either - but they look fab Beers and wine selections are plentiful and varied as well as reasonably priced. Service was attentive and excellent - couldn't fault it. As I said - you do not want to miss this place - just north of Grantham. Enjoy!!

Mainly snacks, such as wraps and toasties. The food is prepared to order, with precision and great attention to detail. The restaurant is extremely clean, and the hygiene standard was extremely high, both in the seating area and behind the counter. Very friendly, polite staff. Oh that every snack bar was like this ! Seating is limited currently to five tables. Take-aways available.

Great food as always ! Prices are fantastic one of the cheapest arounds . Staff are super friendly . We go a least every couple of weeks
