Favorite British Restaurants

[SaladFingers]

Which is your favourite restaurant in the UK? Or perhaps, where was it that you had the best experience?

One of my personal faves is Hipping Hall. I save going back there for a treat, saying that its been a while now. I really like the Brown horse at Winster for somewhere less formal.

I remember having a good meal at Haldanes in Edinburgh about 5 years ago, not so much food or service, just had a really good time. Sigh, seems ages ago now.

How close to Kirkby Lonsdale is Hipping Hall? and presumably they serve lunch?

It looks really nice but I seem to remember reading someone here say it screams 'give us a star'. I think Jason Birkbeck is the son of my Mother's friend and I can remember her going on about his training. I'd love to try his food now.

Just past Kirkby towards Skipton, about 10mins down road. I've never had a bad experience there, faultless service, beautiful food, lovely surroundings. It deserves/wants a star no more or less then a few places I can think of.

As far as I know, they only do a Sunday Lunch.

It certainly has its fans the wine crowd on wine pages certainly like it, i didn't dislike it but found the tasting menu a fairly standard 'give us a star' menu lacking personality it could have been anywhere, ALC might be the way to go.
