The best restaurants in South East

Xavier at El Santo Tattoo recommended this lovely cafe. The food was so good we visited twice. There are dog friendly cafes and there are those that are dog welcoming. Juna is one of those, a cafe where you can ask for a menu of Woofchester dog treats, for good dogs only. Lots of pretty homeware and cards perfect for gifts. Great selection of cakes and the best bacon sandwiches ever. Thank you Juna, what a lovely place to visit.

Wonderful food & great value for money. We don’t live locally - we are about a 40 minute drive away but love the area and often come for dog walks. We know the cafe closes for winter - we were lucky to have lunch the last day they were closing for winter & struck gold today when they were open for the first time in 2025 We both had cheese & ham toasties which were packed with tasty Wiltshire cheese & thick cut ham - no supermarket thin ham here! Both toasties with a side salad plus a delicious serving of chips (large is v large - we couldn’t finish!) plus 2 cans of drink = £16! Best value & top quality! Thanks guys!

Visited Sat 27 March, excellent Rock &,chips, bought some cockles and was gifted some salmon croute, lovely people, fish fresh and selection & products to die for. Will visit again! Thanks, made my day, my best, Mark

Excelente comida y servicio, especialmente disfrutamos del sushi. Las alitas y el filete tenían mucho sabor. Experiencia gastronómica informal

Always have the same when I go up there which is a bacon and sausage baguette which is always enjoyed by myself and mum always has a jacket potato and always very filling plus everyone is very friendly xx

This place was recommended so one evening popped in for some treats for them. Selection was large and varied. Sadly we found it very expensive,and judging by other customers orders in front of us,didnt seem good value for money,however we decided to give it a go One of the assistants seemed really moody and hardly cracked a smile,and made us feel like she would rather be elsewhere. One thing that did put me off was the smell of old chip fat,which was apparently the mini doughnuts cooking,but why did it smell really 'chippy-ish'? The milkshakes were pleasant but overpriced,but the biggest disappointment was the so called whippy ice cream.. For £5 id expect a decent amount but all we really got was a dollop,hardly any 'twirls' and a tiny amount of biscoff crumbs. We spent over £25 altogether which was too much for what we got,sorry Maybe put your staff thru customer service courses and teach them to smile and make customers feel like valued,not uncomfortable ?

Comido aquí un número de veces ahora, la comida es realmente sabrosa y cada plato es único interesante. Los maridajes de vinos son generosos y de nuevo probé algunas bebidas que no he tomado anteriormente. Pequeño restaurante con un entorno muy relajado, el equipo es increíble y el servicio de todos ellos excelente. Fácil de acceder para aquellos que se aventuran fuera del centro de la ciudad. Volveremos regularmente ya que los platos cambian regularmente.

Visited here for the first time on the off chance for a table on a Friday evening and they managed to squeeze us in. Decor could do with some updating but the food was delicious, particularly the nan bread. Friendly service too. Will definitely be back!

Cannot recommend this little gem tucked away tranquilly in Leighton Buzzard enough! Most delicious cakes and treats served by the loveliest ladies there could be - not to mention the collection of unique crockery and decor that will bring back precious memories... simply beauiful, and definitely a new found staple for regular meet ups with my special girls!!

I am a conneisseur of fish and chips as I was brought up in Yorkshire ( God's own country). The fish in particular is truly excellent every time .Generous portions of white chunky fish , cooked to perfection . I challenge you to find better anywhere outside Yorkshire. So come on you soft Southerners , give it a try !

Honestly an amazing place to get breakfast or lunch I love the feel when eating it ( especially because they don't blasts radom hit radio) oh and the food great all fresh ingredients fast served ( and actually hot ). The only reason why I have given it 4 stars os cus the price's are pretty high but I would still recommend it to try sometime.

Heard so many goid things about this place and was really looking forward to a meal here with my sister. Very disappointing. Yoghurt bombs to start were amazing but mini poppadoms I think came from a packet. I had chicken murgh and my sister had a king prawn curry. Both very bland - tasted the same but different colours. Service very good but very disappointed with food. Not sure if we chose the wrong things or if it was just a bad night.

Just had a fantastic cream tea courtesy of Bethany’s at Westgate in Kent. Fantastic food and superb on time delivery. Thank you it was perfect 👌 and made our weekend.

Took my kids here for lunch yesterday - we had the falafel wrap and hallumi wrap and some vine leaves. The food was delicious and lots of people around us seemed very happy with their food. The smell of the charcoal grill added to the experience. We would recommend. Only downside, was not a great selection of drinks....

Came to Hastings for shopping and decided to have a bite to eat and it was wonderful. I had the American style signature steak burger and it was amazing! Great food!
