The Canteen at Maker Heights — Restaurant in England

Incredible food incredible view awesome service. Have come here many times over the last few summers and it’s always a highlight. The setting is amazing but the food is what keeps us coming back. The price is so good for the quality and quantity you get. The menu is always changing and the way the lush fresh seasonal flavours are put together with some nice inventive touches you sense the chefs wouldn’t be at all out of place in a wanky Michelin style restaurant but prefer to make awesome honest food in an unpretentious setting . Seems to often be heaving with locals and even when it’s busy you always get service with a smile. I don’t usually go for salads but the beetroot, goats cheese & walnut combo I had there recently was incredible. Wife is veggie too and they had some lush options for her. I really can’t fault it, just wish it was in nearer to home.

**update just returned (2023) it’s BETTER. Food is even better but also the road up to it has been resurfaced and the place has a slightly more refined feel, but without loosing any of its original charm. Can’t praise it or the...

We were staying on a nearby campsite and had seen The Canteen on Trip Advisor. We arrived at around 11am and breakfast was available - no other food until 12.30. We had a breakfast each and it was delicious. So much so that we returned at 3.30 pm for a late lunch. In between we had done a lot of cycling to ensure we were hungry again! I had the Bubble cake and my husband had battered sole with crab in a roll with some salad and home made potato salad. We both agreed that it was the best plate of food we had for a very long time, especially at £10 each we felt this was very good value. My Bubble Cake was simply heaven on a plate, bubble & squeak, asparagus, poached egg with a delicious spinach sauce. The service was friendly and efficient. The food did not arrive that quickly, but for us, this means it is prepared fresh - a good thing, and well worth the short wait. It was a lovely day and we sat outside admiring the stunning views. We simply did not want to leave. We will most...

We just had lunch at the canteen and we absolutely love it! My husband asked for the crispy mackerel and it was just 👌 perfect, the chips are insanely good! I asked for the poached eggs (that were poached at its best!) and bubble cake and the mix of flavours and textures from my plate were delicious 🤤, I love when they put so many vegetables! The portions were good size too!

For desert we had the chocolate cake and the bread pudding both were pretty good!

The quality of the food is really good and the presentation is lovely, we also have a scone to take away because they look delicious. The service was great and we like the concept of the place, we ate indoors because it was a bit chilly outside. But next time we plan to eat outdoors because the view is marvellous. Nice music btw!

You can’t miss this place,...
