November 15, 2026 Sofia Marchetti

Best of British Pub & Cafe takes No. 1 in our British Pubs rankings with a Net Score of 91.2 — why it won, and what to get when you go.

3 minute read

Best of British Pub & Cafe is the No. 1 British pub in the Orlando metro — not by our say-so, but by the numbers. In Orlando Citizen’s Top Businesses rankings, it posted a Net Score of 91.2, the highest in its category, on a blended 4.74★ drawn from 814 public reviews across the Google, TripAdvisor and Yelp figures we could retrieve. The pub sits at 16909 High Grove Blvd in Clermont, just off Highway 27 at the top of the 192 corridor, in the villa country where Central Florida’s British expats and holidaymakers live.

Our Net Score blends a business’s public ratings across the review sources we could retrieve — here, Google 4.8★ (584), TripAdvisor 4.8★ (77) and Yelp 4.5★ (153) — weights them by review volume, and then applies Bayesian shrinkage (m = 200) so a handful of five-star reviews can’t outrank a proven track record. Best of British cleared a field of 11 ranked businesses in British Pubs — a genuinely thin category, four of them theme-park venues. It finished ahead of a near neighbor, The Friar Tuck (89.7), also in Clermont. Scores compare only within a category, and the underlying ratings were retrieved November 15, 2026.

What to order starts with the Full English breakfast, served from 9 a.m. daily: proper English back bacon, thick pork sausage, black pudding, Heinz beans, mushrooms, fried eggs, tomatoes and buttered toast made with English bread. The fish and chips — with curry sauce, per one delighted review — are the other flagship, and the Sunday roast is the weekly event reviewers plan around. One seven-person table worked through fish & chips, doner kebab and chips, cottage pie, chicken sandwiches, a Scotch egg and coronation chicken, then ordered sticky toffee pudding and bread pudding to share, and reported all of it delicious. Savory pies, sausage rolls, scones and a rotating tap that includes Old Speckled Hen fill out the menu.

The room itself is half the draw. Reviewers describe stepping off Highway 27 straight into a cozy corner of the UK — warm lighting, football memorabilia, live football, rugby and cricket on eight big TVs, and a double-decker bus with a backstory the staff are happy to tell. Owner Martin is a recurring character in the reviews, praised by name for making customers feel like family. A British goods shop runs alongside the pub, and one Yelp reviewer who has lived in the USA for over 14 years called it the only place they have been that actually feels like a real British pub. TripAdvisor awarded it a Travellers’ Choice for 2026.

The ranking does not pretend the verdict is unanimous. TripAdvisor’s own review summary notes occasional inconsistencies in portion size and quality, and at least one takeout order — raw fish, soggy chips — badly missed the dine-in standard. That spread is in the data, and the data still puts Best of British first: no other British pub in the metro combines this rating level with this much review volume across three platforms.

Find it at 16909 High Grove Blvd, Clermont, FL 34714, open daily from 9 a.m. — go for breakfast, stay for the football, and ask about the bus. See the full list: The 10 Best British Pubs in Orlando — every ranked business in this category, with scores.
