The best restaurants in South East

We live locally and love visiting Cuculo regularly to pick up cheeses, salamis and other Italian treats. Their wine selection is also carefully curated by one of the owners, James, who organises wine tastings (including via collection and zoom during lock-downs!) and even wine tours in Italy. On a Thursday and Friday evening you can pre-order a delicious pizza and enjoy a glass of great wine whilst waiting for it. I can highly recommend their Salare red wine! Do visit as it’s lovely and we’re very lucky to have this cracking deli and wine shop in Heathfield.

I didn't know this site, I ordered a plant that had been catching my eye for a while, the service is great for delivery and super friendly! I am happy to learn that it is also a company from our beautiful province of Luxembourg! ☺️ you can fall in love with their pretty plants with your eyes closed!

Nos detuvimos un domingo mientras pasábamos. No estábamos planeando comer, pero el menú parecía increíble y el olor de la cocina era una locura. Teníamos una variedad de platos y todos estábamos sorprendidos por la calidad. 4 muchachos muy felices, volveremos.

We visited on a drizzly Wednesday evening, decided to go here after reading the positive reviews. We were literally the only people in there during our meal. Nice warm welcome from the only member of staff who was front of house. Pleasant atmosphere and nice decor. Our starters was delicious. Main course was a bit of a let down, dessert was lovely. A little pricey for the quality of the food.

My partner, dog and I love it here. A lovely cosy quirky feel and food fresh and delicious and cooked to perfection. Always friendly and welcoming. We always look forward to our visits. Thank you.

It's a great place. Always kind and friendly, good service, good food, and a lovely outdoor space. Would certainly recommend for families, friends or couples.

Fab fathers day lunch, brilliant value for money and delicious food. Our girls loved it, and lovely staff. Thank you

My partner and I came here for an early valentines meal and we were incredibly impressed! It was lovely to see that it was busy but everyone was attended to; the staff were really kind and fun as well. The food was absolutely delicious and we can’t wait to be back!

Brilliant food and great value Superb tasty coffee Great friendly staff Wonderful place to stop on a coastal walk for a break Couldn't fault anything

Highly recommend this lovely cafe, friendly staff and food was excellent. Hubby’s cauliflower cheesy soup was delicious (and he doesn’t normally like cauliflower!!). Will definitely go back soon.

Great little place with lovely staff. The toasties were delicious and there was a wide selection along with many other choices for a light lunch.

Nice quirky place with a good range of coffee, and cake very minamalist in its decor. Staff are great and it attracts a good eclectic mix of people. I had the sausage roll and a cold dring and they were great. All in all a good place for a chilled weekend brew.

Kate helped us with catering for two dinners for eight people over a weekend on the Isle of Wight. From my initial enquiry, Kate was incredibly helpful with suggestions for well balanced menus using local seasonal produce. Both dinners were dropped off by Kate at our rental house and we were given perfect instructions to heat up the various courses for both evening meals. The detail and care that Kate put into both dinners was exceptional and everything was absolutely delicous. I couldn't recommend Kate and Angel in the Kitchen more highly.

Wow, decided tonight to use the local pizza place instead of the big boys. Sorry Dominos we won’t be back! Mr Pizza friendly, personal and absolutely amazing.

A really enjoyable evening in an eclectic mix of people. Jon and Jo made us feel welcome in their home, delicious food accompanied by delightful singing! We were greeted by cocktails then moved on to a three course meal with additional treats. A donation was made to a very worthy local charity fir homeless people. A misy relaxing way to start the bank holiday weekend. Thank you both very much!
