The best restaurants in South East

Prince of Wales pub, Shippon. Had a Sunday roast here for about 18 guests to celebrate my mothers 90th birthday. Nic and her team worked closely with me to ensure the occasion went off without a hitch, even accommodating my father in his wheel chair and his height adjustable table. The food was excellent and the addition of the log fire made for a convivial atmosphere. Many thanks Nic for a wonderful afternoon that all enjoyed and commented upon what a lovely venue you have..

The food and service here is always excellent.

The best food by far in Didcot, the chilli chicken starter is so good and I love the mixed noodles 😋

Lovely food, big portions, stunning little garden and good service

Lovely original pub , good friendly knowledgeable staff. Pint prices are affordable! Cheers

Went through the drive thru for a quick coffee. Pulled up to the speaker and said what i wanted. Young lady proceeded to ignore everything i’d said and asked a bunch of questions that i had already answered. I asked for oat milk but they had ran out which is ridiculous for a coffee place. The most popular non-dairy should always be in stock. I didn’t want to complain as i know hospitality can be hard and things happen, it’s the person who did the ordering’s fault not theres. then i asked for caramel syrup, paid extra for caramel syrup. We pull up to the window and they proceed to not say anything as we pull up and when they pass us the drinks, the rudest customer service i’ve ever seen. Then as my partner drives away and we join the a40 i taste my drink to find there has been chocolate powder spilled all over the cup which is now on my clothes and there is no syrup in my drink. Absolutely disgraceful and will not be going back here ever again.

Lovely pub Always a good atmosphere With the pub cat sitting on the side enjoying the dishwasher steam Coffee section for those who are driving

A nice place to meet up with mates, friendly staff and nice selection of beer 🍻

Very tasty for a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Chips were horrible, not properly cooked had to throw them away.

Collected a takeaway and brought home. Four dishes ordered, and three were inedible. Lamb madras was old, dry and rock hard lumps of meat in watery sauce. Chicken shaslik was dry and tasteless. How can you make a garlic naan soggy and burnt at the same time?? We rang to discuss with the manager and he was defensive, arrogant and belligerent. No apology, no offer of a refund, zero interest in keeping a regular customer. What a shame. Never going back. GO TO MEGHDOOTS IN PETWORTH… better food, nicer people!

Had a lovely evening. Had the 5 course meal which was extremely tasty. Every dish was presented beautifully n tasted different . Hannah served us with a smile n that made a big added plus . Will highly recommend

Here we are again at our very favourite IOW hotel, once again celebrating a special occasion,as we always do. I found this hotel when I sang here at a friend's wedding and knew it was special. We had our wedding night here in 2020 which, being at the tail end of Covid, the staff (David and Cathy at the time, now retired), and everyone made it as good as it could be, we had our wedding blessing and reception the year after, which was phenomenal. All the staff gave us a wonderful magical day with food to die for and a wonderful memory forever. We've been here since but today's my birthday so another stay at this lovely place, James, the Restaurant Manager, couldn't do enough for us at our lovely "home from home". Beautiful dinner, lovely ambience, and extensive sea view, always meted out with flawless customer service. What more could we ask? David and Cathy have left the hotel in the capable hands of Julian and James so I know it will continue to flourish. Some not so good reviews on here, I honestly don't recognise the hotel they are reviewing, NH is, and always will be, our favourite place to stay (and we only live 10 minutes away). Thank you guys and see you at our next celebration.

One of my favorite pubs in penarth. Good quality drinks and a great backyard. The staff are kind. I highly recommend it.

Really great fish and chips. One of the best
