Like all of the World Showcase pavilions, you will feel as if you have taken a trip right to the actual country.  All of the waiters and waitresses are from the United Kingdom and very excited about their culture.  This restaurant is broken up into two sections: the dining room and the pub.  At the pub, no reservations are required and you can walk right in and usually be seated immediately.  The pub's menu is similar to the dining room, but is a little bit shorter.  To dine in the dining room, usually you need a reservation but the menu is a little larger with more variety.  The decor is classic United Kingdom and makes you feel like you are in a pub.  Obviously this place has some of the best beer in Disney World and is a huge crowd pleaser.  

The menu is the best of the best of British cuisine.  My dad always gets the Scotch Egg and is never disappointed.  Basically it is a hard boiled egg surrounded by sausage!  My brother and I are huge fans of the potato and leek soup .  Obviously one of the most popular items at this restaurant is the fish and chips.  They truly are spectacular because the crust is so crispy, but the fish is moist and tender.  

The Fish and Chips

This restaurant does have a kids menu that has a few different items other than just chicken fingers and hot dogs like fish and chips and bangers and mash.  This restaurant is probably more enjoyable for older aged children or adults, but it is definitely appropriate for the entire family.  For me personally, I love stopping here in the middle of the day for lunch and being able to enjoy the view of the lake in the middle of World Showcase.  Another perk to this restaurant is that even though it is a different cuisine than just American, it is not as adventurous as some other cuisines like Moroccan or French which is definitely a plus for the picky eaters in your family.
