The best restaurants in South East

No matter where you seem to find them, test kitchen food always hits the spot. Must have tried almost every item on the menu by now and never been disappointed. Amazing veggie/vegan options too

We were cycling on a busy, sunny Saturday and came across this delightful cafe. The staff were warm and welcoming and offered us a secure place to park the bikes so that we could go inside to escape the sun (although there is also outside seating.) There is a good range of all day breakfast and lunch items, all of which are cooked fresh and our avocado, feta and egg on toast was perfect. Lovely coffee and cakes too!

Fantastic place for Chinese food. Everything is vegan and so amazing. Even my animal eating guests were impressed how lovely the food was. They used to be a restaurant now only do takeaway and for only 3 days a week.

I often come here for morning coffee with friends and we are normally very happy with the coffee, but the last couple of times we have all agreed that the coffee is not as good as it used to be. Is it a different kind of coffee or do you have a new Barista? It is always very busy when we come so perhaps the coffee making has just been a bit rushed? I wonder whether anyone else has said anything. Hope it was just a blip as we love everything else about the cafe.

I am a regular visitor of this little gem. I love everything they sell! Their cakes are gorgeous, they offer a delicious selection of healthy colourful salads, the coffee is decent and their toastiest are to die for! So happy to have this so close to me. Staff are always very friendly too.

What a lovely, warm, friendly bar. Excellent service, food & wine. I would highly recommend a visit.

We always buy our fish from here when in Rye. Great choice, friendly staff and most importantly superb fish. Always helpful in choosing the best fish for you.

What isn't to love about this jewel of a pub, without the exception of some of the local roads that is? We found this gem of an establishment a while back when a booking at a nearby pub had to be cancelled and they recommended the Red Lion. On our latest visit, we met up with relatives from Battersea for lunch on a cold, very wet Saturday lunchtime, weather courtesy of Storm Bert. From the minute we walked through the door, we were greeted by the welcoming landlord and members of his team. Being dog friendly, as soon as we were seated at our table, our accompanying Golden Doodle summer was treated to a bowl of water and even some doggie snacks from the bar. The was a good choice of real ales from the bar and the menu, was usefully concise and yet loaded with lovely dishes to tempt us. By coincidence, we all, one by one ordered the fish and chips and our post meal comments varied from "brilliant" to the "best I've had for years". Service throughout the meal was attentive, polite and so friendly. And to top it all, the bill was very reasonable considering the quality of the food, beer in fact the whole experience. I note that their website states: " Everything we do at The Red Lion is evaluated through the lens of asking ourselves whether or not it'll make people return". Well they certainly knocked that one out of the park for us, we'll be returning as soon as we can and we live over 100 miles away(!). If a two hundred mile round trip for lunch isn't a recommendation, I don't know what is!

Amazing, the food and drinks were delicious. The service was great, definitely my new favourite place. Small but beautiful what more could you ask for

thank you Debbie for your beautiful homemade cakes and scones and a great selection of teas! We were a party of 20 and the service was excellent too - everyone loved the afternoon and we’ll definitely come back

Had the opportunity to go out for food instead of takeaway and decided to try out Thann Thai in Weybridge! We looked at lots of options but a lot of restaurants we have been wanting to try on a Tuesday are closed and this one had great reviews on Trip Advisor! There’s a big street parking bay outside which is great as long as you grab a space! We were welcomed by a very friendly hostess and got a lovely seat in the window .. it felt very VIP! Great Menu .. I wanted to try so many dishes .. so have loads to try when we go next time! We got prawn crackers, sweetcorn cakes, fish cakes and veggie spring rolls to start! The fish cakes and relish dip it came with were definitely my favourite! All of this took some juggling to fit on the table with our drinks! For mains I got an amazing : PLA YANG KAENG-KAEW WAN Pan grilled sea bass fillet on a rich piquant green curry sauce with pea eggplant and wild ginger. Garnished with red chilli and sweet basil and dressed with coconut cream. £16.50 Which was a gorgeous crispy fish .. about 3 fillets so really reasonable too! Lovely green curry sauce! My husband got: MASSAMAN CURRY - TOFU Mild coconut cream and rich southern curry of warm spices potato, roasted peanut, shallot round, carrot and tamarind. £10.95 And PAD THAI - PRAWN Rice noodle stir fried with egg, bean spouts, sweet tunip, carrot, spring onion and crushed peanut £12.95 And rices to go with! And to top it off the baked banana. Which was good but I do secretly wish it was fried in caramel sauce 😈 and was a bit more decident! Really gorgeous food and we will def be back for a takeaway or another meal!! Thank you so much

Booked Afternoon Tea as a treat for my sister. Had to order sandwich fillings in advance from a really good selection. Perfect Afternoon Tea, had so much food had to have a doggy bag. Service was great, really friendly and checking if anything needed. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back. Place was really busy for an afternoon during the week as well.

Popped in for a quick toasties. I had ham and cheese my wife had ham salad. 10 out of 10 for service and taste. Served by very friendly staff. Try them, you'll love them. Owners dog is very friendly too!

Warm welcome, rather pushy waiter taking order, good service BUT food mediocre: my husband’s aubergine melanzana was not good he said, and his dish of the day pasta bland & tasteless; based on glowing reviews I chose the lamb, that was more less without flavour inc sauce & I’d been pushed to order extra veg by waiter and got a watery spoonful of spinach @ 6.50. Expensive meal and really disappointing

Had a takeaway from the Gurkha restaurant and it was amazing as usual, service was above and beyond, our driver called to say he was running 10 minutes late more like 5 minutes when he arrived and handed us a bottle of beer on the house due to the delay. Top class food and service all round.
