The best restaurants serving British food in England

Absolutely amazing little pub, great selection of beers and friendly staff

Excellent food with polite and attentive service. Thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the roast lamb.

Comí este restaurante con mi amigo para celebrar nuestros cumpleaños. El restaurante ofrecía un menú degustación halal, así que opté por eso... ¡no fue decepcionante! El pollo frito, el pez monje y el cordero fueron particularmente memorables. Terminamos nuestro menú degustación con un chocolate especial de ladrillo rojo que representa un área histórica en Birmingham. El personal también nos dio algunos mini cupcakes para celebrar nuestro cumpleaños. Este restaurante tiene de todo: personal amable, comida de alta calidad, buen servicio y ambiente, y algunas huellas de la historia y cultura de Birmingham. Realmente recomiendo este restaurante!

We had the best night out staff was so friendly and welcoming service was excellent quick service music and band very good

Can’t recommend this place more. We ordered the duck, steak, lamb, scallops and beef wellington - each dish was outstanding. Lovely service too

Lovely set up..afternoon tea in train carriages, like a journey back in time. Staff were very attentive, afternoon tea was delicious. To much food so we had to take some home...a good complaint.

Great food & experience as always

A belated review. Me and my partner have been regular diners at The Venus for over 30 years. I have not wrote a review before now because the restaurant is always excellent, lunchtime, evenings or private functions. The food, setting, staff is first class. We have been today (12 December) for a Xmas lunch, 3 beautiful courses, wonderful service and incredible value.

Spot on great oysters. Good wine. Smooth efficient service

came for a birthday, very beautiful building ! Friend staff and wonderful artwork all around. I would love to visit again to have a good look around ! x

It’s a good idea, and I enjoyed my meal, but it’s not really what I was looking for.. the chips were much more like pub chips than chip shop chips.. I’ve had chips from chip shops all over the UK, dozens and dozens of them, No Catch was the only one to serve this style of chips… which tbh I’m not into. What I want, and what I think most people want, from No Catch is the authentic fish and chip shop experience.. just without the suffering. They haven’t quite achieved this and tbh it makes me not want to go back as it just doesn’t hit that spot. I had the battered sausage with mine, pretty sure these are the Richmond no meat sausages, however I have no issue with that as they are very taste, shame they’re not the classic length but it can be forgiven. The sausage did hit the spot, would be curious to try the ‘fish’.. But please, revise your chips!

My first visit to The Dove and I was not disappointed! I love how it has been decorated and there is a great atmosphere. The service is outstanding! My unique dietary needs were catered for and I am so grateful! The food is fantastic and you can tell they put a lot of care into what they do. I would definitely eat there again!

Tiny burger world! Fantastic locally sourced burgers, lovely sides and good drink choice

Best meal we've had in ages, and some of the best chips potentially ever. Highly recommend for meat eaters and veggies
