The best restaurants in South East

I brought along a group of staff and students from Surrey Maths School for an informal social session, to help the students get to know one another and build their community. The Hideaway was perfect! We booked the meeting room so we had enough privacy but were also able to enjoy the lovely cafe area as well as the beautiful outdoor spaces. The food and drinks were delicious; several of the students discovered the smoothies and raved about them! The atmosphere was warm, friendly and welcoming, and we couldn't be happier that we chose The Hideaway for this important event in our school calendar. We will definitely be back & in the meantime, THANK YOU to Leah & the Hideaway team for making our afternoon so special.

A group of us went to Clava on a wet Saturday afternoon an enjoyed the tasting menu. Only one word comes to mind to describe it "superb" There was nothing that was put in front of us that everyone didn't devour! I especially liked the venison ragu with fettuccini. The lunch was a culinary delight and we will be making a return visit in the new year.

Had a el Chapo with fries and spicy chicken wings, absolutely delicious, the only problem was, not enough chicken wings, so moorish, went down lovely with a cold beer. Will definitely be using again

I just love everything about this place, the welcoming staff, the quality and range of food (in particular the salads) the environment and convenience. I’ve never had a less than excellent dining experience.

Great people and great food. Not much else to be said although I think we need a Cliffs breakfast van

Our family live in various parts of the country and arranged to meet here at the Berwick Tea Rooms in memory of our late Mum. We weren't disappointed, we had the most delicious afternoon tea. The lovely Georgie made us very welcome and catered for all the family dietary requirements. We also had the canine division of the family with us -lovely Luna and adorable Diesel both were well behaved and were also catered for. The food was delicious. I can't select one particular favourite as everything was brilliant. Thankyou for such a delicious spread x

I visited Saucy Flo's with my wife on one of it's steak nights. We both had the Galican fillet and I can honestly say it was the best steak I have ever eaten. The quality of the local produce is amazing and coupled with the reasonable price, it just can't be beaten. It's rare to get such a great standard of food and good portions too. The waiting staff were so friendly and there was a lovely informal atmosphere. But the star of the show was definitely the food! We just about had enough room for puddings and managed to squeeze in a peach and blackberry cobbler and a chocolate brownie and both were delicious. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Top rated is the food at this small charming venue.Depending where you sit you can watch the chef cook your food.The food is fabulous .Small menu but big enough choice and realistic for the size of restaurant .I had crab salad, the beef and brûlée for afters.I had to stop short licking the plates.Wine was good,beer good and cider good .Service attentive not all over you great balance.To sum up brilliant small restaurant cracking food and service.

Superb anniversary surprise. Every tiny detail of this evening has been excellent. The food, drink and service all 5 stars. I would say Furna deserves the best in Brighton and possibly Sussex accolade. The team couldn’t do more to make our evening memorable. Can’t wait to return.

Please support this amazing local business. I love a good pizza and these are just the best I’ve ever had. The staff are lovely too and are always happy to slightly customise my pizza due to dietary requirements. Great place, give them a try.

I have used it on 2 occasions now and both times has the service and food been wonderful/ Fresh ingredients and wonderfully flavorsome.

Excellent Saturday night Music. Happened to be passing heard the live music which was brilliant. Lovely Cocktails stayed till closing

Local bakery with tables to sit down. Choice of drinks and a selection of savoury pastries and a wide selection of sweet treats We had a coffee and a hot chocolate. Add a couple of cakes and the visit was a pleasant one. You order and pay at the counter and they deliver to your table. Staff were both pleasant and fast at serving

Wonderful service from Rachel who is a great host! Lovely to see someone in this venue again, and the cafe is lovely inside, very warm and welcoming. We had a black coffee and hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows, very good price and much nicer than visiting the normal chain coffee shops. Got some chocolate banana bread to take away too which was delicious. Will definitely be returning!
