Top 5 Pubs in England

1 Campbell Square, Liverpool L1 5FB, United Kingdom

“What a quirky pub. We stopped in here for a drink before dinner and ended up coming back afterwards. Very friendly and attentive bar staff. They know their gins - each was garnished well. I love the layout and the history of the place being an old 'drunk tank'. We managed to get a table in one of the cells, a really cool experience. Highly recommend a visit! Lovely beer garden too!”

166 Waterloo Rd, Blackpool FY4 2AF, United Kingdom

“Excellent music venue, packed with character and excellent staff. Relatively small but worth it. We went to watch a particular band and were very pleasantly surprised by the venue, partly because I remember it from the days of Crown Green Bowling 40 years ago.”

105 Stoke Newington Church St, London N16 0UD, United Kingdom

“The finest Irish pub outside of Ireland? Very possible. Always a good time in the Shillelagh, always an interesting crowd and the staff are always really sound and on the ball. Good for watching matches - rugby , GAA and football. Tis narrow for sure, but thats part of its charm”

30 Clasketgate, Lincoln LN2 1JS, United Kingdom

“Gorgeous building, lovely menu and delicious food! Prices were very reasonable for city centre, and a good choice too. The staff were great too, we felt truly looked after! We didn’t stay here but the rooms looked lovely too.”

160 Union St, London SE1 0LH, United Kingdom

“Truly one of the best. Intimate and friendly, beautiful design and atmosphere, and great Thai food and drinks - highly recommend!”

152 Maldon Rd, Tiptree, Colchester CO5 0PQ, United Kingdom

“Visited on Friday 5 January 2024. Hadn’t booked, but we were found a table. I had 2 pints of Maldon Mighty Oak Gorgeous George bitter, which was good. Two courses cost £16.95 each. The homemade steak pie was very good.”

Satan's Whiskers, 343 Cambridge Heath Rd, London E2 9RA, United Kingdom

“This is definitely one of the best cocktail bar in the world. You wouldn’t expect this is the best cocktail bar in the world by its outside appearance, but the atmosphere inside is completely different. Cocktail are all very affordable given the multiple awards that they had. Service are all very good, staff are friendly. Recommend to sit by the bar table as you get to see how the best cocktail is being made. Menu will also update regularly so u dont get the same boring drink.”

Burleydam, Whitchurch SY13 4AT, United Kingdom

“We went for a belated birthday meal. The decor & atmosphere were delightful, a proper country pub feel with roaring log fires & generous tables. Starters, mains & deserts were delicious followed by an excellent coffee which ensured I stayed alert on the drive home. We can recommend this pub and we will return.”

East Cliff, Whitby YO22 4JR, United Kingdom

“We visited whilst the craft fair was on. There were stalls and live music on at the brewery tap. Very good beer and there is an outside area with benches. Seating inside as well. Parking is on the car park for Whitby abbey which is only 5 minute walk. Free parking Nov - March but charges apply outside this period.”

11 Kingsway, Tealby, Market Rasen LN8 3YA, United Kingdom

“We visited after a recommendation from the campsite owner we were stopping on. We had cycled to the pub and as we sat outside the heavens opened and torrential rain. Poured down. Very kindly the gentleman behind the bar said we could bring in our bikes and sit in the walkers bar. A great space with stone floors. We decided to have food and we were not disappointed. Fantastic food and the prices were very reasonable. When back in the area will be visiting again. On the bar they had cask ale and a great selection of gins. Would highly recommend as very friendly staff, friendly regulars, very accommodating and the food was fantastic.”

24 Marygate, York YO30 7BH, United Kingdom

“Brilliant pub with great pizzas and lovely service. Went for the first time on New Year’s Day as a group of four and were served quickly. Pizza choices are great - the pesto chicken was a winner round the table. Great vibe, family friendly. Will be back again.”

28 Kingsgate Rd, Winchester SO23 9PG, United Kingdom

“We stopped for a pint at The Queen Inn on a sunny Sunday afternoon in August. We received a very warm welcome from the bar team and ordered our drinks - which we found were very reasonably priced. They also produce a range of their own beers, and it’s nice to see the equipment as you enter. The pub has an abundance of outdoor spaces, as well as some undercover outdoor seating too. It’s a lovely place to sit out and enjoy the sunshine. We didn’t eat but the food menu sounded great, and I’ll certainly be back to try it myself soon!”

368 Brighton Rd, Shoreham-by-Sea BN43 6RE, United Kingdom

“Best pub in Shoreham-by-sea. A fantastic selection of beer at very reasonable prices. At my last visit it had around 8 cask beers (pales, stouts, IPAS, a slightly odd one and a delicious pale that is brewed exclusively for the pub). They also have keg beers. A highlight is the wheat beer. They serve everything in appropriate glassware. The vibe of the place is relaxed and friendly, it's a "proper" pub with a mix of ages and drunk levels! It's USP is the live music which is most nights, the beer garden is also lovely.”

Skeldergate Bridge, York YO1 9WJ, United Kingdom

“Worth every penny. Had the Yorkshire ham and cheese toastie. To say I’d travel to York just for one of these toasties I’m not lying! The atmosphere was beautiful by the river. The waitress was so friendly, attentive and polite. Beautiful place with beautiful food and people.”

107 Water Ln, Holbeck, Leeds LS11 5WD, United Kingdom

“Extremely attentive staff, lovely food,and great surroundings”

B5009, Queen's Head, Oswestry SY11 4EB, United Kingdom

“40+ years ago I used to pass this pub in my mate's dad's MK1 Granada on our way to North Wales. Finally made it inside. Glad we did. Lovely sandwiches. Go for the crab or the club... Hopefully I'll be on the A5 again in the next 40 years 🤞”

Pavilion Terrace, Burnhope, Durham DH7 0DN, United Kingdom

“Can't believe we've only just discovered this place! What a fantastic find and if you're a petrol head you'll feel right at home. Amazing breakfast and gorgeous latte in large mug. Made to feel very welcome and the service was friendly and speedy ( no pun intended!) We'll certainly be back and look forward to enjoying the outside area in warmer weather.you'll see from the photo it was rather snowy when we visited. Loved the bike helmet hanging baskets 😍🏍️🏎️”

Shepherd St, Littleover, Derby DE23 6GA, United Kingdom

“Came back again after few months, no table booked, restaurant packed and despite that, we were accommodated to the bar area. Waited a bit for the food, but it was worth the wait. Staff friendly as usual, fish and chips still one of the best but I would also recommend the gammon steak: really juicy and tasty. We will definitely come back !”

75 Queens Rd, Nuneaton CV11 5LA, United Kingdom

“Staff were great, music was banging (especially all the late 90s/early 00s rock I haven't heard in years!), atmosphere was brilliant. Cracking pub and gig venue with a great crowd, had an ace Saturday night.”

High St, Findon, Worthing BN14 0SX, United Kingdom

“Found this lovely place after another pub that had been recommended was full, thank goodness they were as we would of missed out on an amazing meal with friends. The food was amazing, such good quality, amazing portions and so reasonable for the stand of food that was delivered to our table. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We haven’t enjoyed a meal out like that in such a long time. Wish we lived nearer. Thank you to all the staff at the Black Horse Inn.”
