The best restaurants serving British food in England

We had supper here on a Saturday night while staying at a local Hotel & Spa round the corner. The atmosphere was really warm and friendly, staff were polite, knowledgeable and friendly. The place was clean, good selection of drinks behind the bar. We went for a bottle of prosecco which was very drinkable! Menu was small but food was a real treat. We started off with the soup of the day — sweet potato & coconut which was one of the nicest soups I’ve ever had! Served with a delicious homemade bread roll with poppyseed. For mains I had the wild mushroom linguine which was really delicious and well cooked. A light, creamy sauce and you could taste the different mushrooms. My partner enjoyed the steak and ale pie and everything was cooked to perfection. The pie is apparently made by a local butcher and had one of the mixes steak fillings and light, crispy crumbly pastry. We shared a pudding - pear and winter spiced berry crumble with custard. Again, very tasty! Would recommend and wish we could had booked a Sunday roast the following day but sadly already had plans!

As newbies to Skipton, we’re still exploring good places to eat - and this cafe is now right at the top of our list! We went for Sunday brunch and I had the French toast with bacon and maple syrup - plus some cheeky black pudding on the side - and it was absolutely delicious! The presentation was fab, the interior was light and modern and airy, and the owners were so lovely! A top tip is to definitely phone ahead to book as it was pretty busy when we went. Very highly recommended!

Brilliant cafe staff are very friendly food is amazing plus waiting time is mins as they no what you want as soon as you go though the door lol

Fantastic homemade gluten free cakes and snacks. Best offering for gluten free in Bexhill!

We booked Coghlans at Barningham to do some external catering for us for our Wedding at The Blackton Grange Estate, on the 9th December 2024. Andrew and Janet were fantastic!! I would highly recommend the team to anyone needing their services. They were amazing from the point of contact, all the way up to the big day. We had an initial consultation over the phone a few months prior to the wedding, where we sorted out the wedding breakfast and a meal plan for the day before the wedding. This was all sent over via email and a price was agreed. The day before the wedding Andrew came to the venue and dropped off a meal for us to reheat in the oven as we arrived, he brought fresh bread, jams, pain au chocolates and croissants for the morning of the wedding, along with fresh local milk and butter, which was all delicious. On the morning of the wedding, Andrew and Janet arrived promptly and set everything up in the kitchen. They provided all of the crockery, cutlery and table linen and set out the table following our seating plan. Andrew and his team even went the extra mile pouring us some celebratory glasses of bubbles after the ceremony, and then announced us into the dining room, we really weren't expecting them to do any of this for us, but they absolutely pushed the boat out and made us feel so special on the big day. The food was all delicious, a full 3 course wedding breakfast and plenty of extras for those with big appetites. There was more than enough food for all of our guests and everyone commented how tasty it all was. It didn't stop there, Andrew then made sure all of our guests had drinks and kept the wine and bubbles flowing all afternoon, they even went to the trouble of carving my fathers meat up for him as he is disabled. After the meal, Andrew and Janet cleared everything away, including the dirty dishes, and they left the kitchen spotless!! Coghlans also provided a grazing table for the evening, which they left with us. What an absolute credit to the day Andrew and Janet were, they really made our day go without a hitch. We would absolutely recommend Coghlans for a catering service to anyone getting married in this area, you will not be disappointed!! Mark & Anna

Great place to eat. The staff are great and the chef is amazing. Celebrated a relatives birthday with 15 other family members. The food was amazing. All three courses were outstanding. This is a bring your own booze place so there was no extortionate drink prices to pay. Would definitely recommend. There is parking on the street free from 6pm.

Very nice food, but a couple of the staff were rude and unapologetic for the fact our table wasn’t anywhere near to being ready for us when we arrived.

I ate here at the weekend, and it was really lovely. The food was SUPERB - well presented and very filling. I had the Garden breakfast with salmon - I will be recreating this at home - and my niece had the avocado on toast with cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. The service was very good - polite, smiley and very welcoming. I loved that when we sat down at a table, a member of staff turned on the heater. The atmosphere was intimate, and the interaction with some of the other customers was fantastic. I absolutely loved the decor and the plants, and the very cool playlist was a bonus. I will definitely visit again when the weather gets warmer.

We were directed here from a sales person in St Ives he told these were the best pasties in Cornwall It didn't disappoint

Amazing food. Arranged to meet family there on the way to Ashcombe. Really friendly staff, very comfortable and the best liver and onions ever. Would highly recommend.
