The best restaurants in South East

Very friendly staff and delicious coffee. The sausage roll was a generous portion and the flapjack was v yummy. Highly recommend:)

If you like Middle Eastern food, you will love this restaurant. We had Koobideh (mince lamb skewer) and tender lamb mini steaks. Both came with a very nice salad garnish and complimentary chilli sauce if you ask for it. The food was very well prepared and presented. The service was friendly and efficient. They also had a nice Lebanese red wine. The Restaurant is spacious with no loud music so for us was an excellent experience all round.

We had such a special lunch at Damson and couldn't recommend it more highly. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, and the food was delicious from start to finish. We had a vegan among us and the team prepared a bespoke menu for her in advance, which she absolutely loved. Damson is such good value for money and would be great for lunch or dinner - in a couple, or a group. The menu changes frequently and we can't wait to go back!! Such a gem.

Absolutely brilliant find! It's a little out the way so never noticed it before. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, all vegetarian/vegan. Did not miss meat at all! Service was lovely, was a little unimpressed that 12.5% service was added to the bill but was happy to pay it. We will be back!

Absolutely amazing food and service very authentic and amazingly fresh tasting food will definitely be visiting again very soon

Whilst touring around we stopped here for lunch and so glad we did. A very pleasant cafe, lovely people running it , great food. The first thing you notice is how well kept and clean this place is. Secondly it’s difficult to choose from the varied menu, so many favourites.! So pleased I chose the sausage and mash. Never thought I’d rave about sausage & mash but it was lovely. Everything is cooked to perfection with high quality ingredients. Well worth a visit. If I lived nearby I’d be eating there regularly

Make sure to get here when they have turned on their barbecue and enjoy a good cocktail while waiting for a lovely plate of food

The Star kindly agreed to host mum’s wake on Friday. It couldn’t have gone better, communication before hand was efficient, drinks and buffet lunch for 50 served with efficiency. Very welcoming for children, family and friends. I was even contacted to be asked about mums favourite music so that they could put a background play list together. Thank you so much for accommodating us in your local friendly pub.

Well what can I say, Toni's is a fabulous little tea room located on the sea front. We visited just before lunch as we wanted a snack & a drink. Pobably the best I've visited on the Isle Of Wight, lovely staff, a restful atmosphere and above all, freshly made food. Oh, how could I forget, the beautiful little dog Tolusha, fast asleep on a chair she made her own, bless her. If we are ever back on the IOW, we'll definitely return again. Highly recommended.

I ate here last week and the experience was incredible. I tried many dishes including the empanadas, croquetas, chorizo malbec, pulpo and of course a rib eye steak! Everything was delicious and the service was exceptional. The vibe of the restaurant is great, with lovely interior design and nice lighting. It was full, even on a Tuesday, so it’s good we booked a table! Couldn’t recommend more for an authentic taste of Argentina and Spain 10/10

What a great welcome. Stop for a refuel bacon bab was prefect top class bacon nice soft bab and perfectly cooked. The cafe was spotless. It’s a place not to be missed.

Great atmosphere complete with fab Halloween decorations. Superb menu with some delightful home made additions. Good attention to allergens, strongly recommended if you have any of these. Best of all? Stunning food, even the grandson was happy, rare 😎

Best local pizza outside of New York! Always very friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth a visit or two or three!

What a lovely tea room. Great atmosphere, charming staff and delicious cakes! The ice cream shakes are to die for. Will return and definitely recommend.
