The best restaurants in South East

Excellent food and service. Nice ambience

My partner and I have visited Bella Luna regularly over the past year and the food, service and atmosphere is always perfect. The staff are really friendly, welcoming and polite. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

Always enjoy going to this lovely local pub. Super friendly service and great overall feel. We particularly enjoy the Harveys and Brighton Gin.

Excellent fish takeaway service

Who is the Chef here!!!! #amazing Today we added to the review as the Sunday Lunch was EPIC. Check out the rib eye beef and the pork belly!! Yum yum 😋 The White Horse Pub in Hawkinge is an absolute gem, and my recent experience there was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by Abby, who provided exceptional service throughout my visit. Let's talk about the food - an absolute culinary delight crafted by the talented chef, Keyleigh. The garlic and chili prawn on sourdough starter was a burst of flavors that tantalized my taste buds, setting the perfect tone for the meal ahead. The beef and Guinness suet pie with triple cooked chips, accompanied by gravy and vegetables, was a hearty masterpiece. Each bite was filled with rich, comforting flavors that left me wanting more. And let's not forget the grand finale - the banoffee pie dessert was a divine indulgence that rounded off the meal perfectly. The ambiance of the pub was inviting, with a well-presented interior that exuded charm and character. It provided the ideal backdrop for a memorable dining experience. What's more, the value for money was exceptional, considering the quality and quantity of the food served. In summary, the White Horse Pub in Hawkinge is a must-visit for anyone seeking a combination of top-notch service, delectable food, and cozy ambiance. With Abby's professionalism and Keyleigh's culinary expertise, it's an experience that promises to delight all the senses. Go give them a go, you won’t be disappointed!

Galileo is one of the few restaurants that holds it quality. I'm writing this review because this place is hands down the best.. I can't recommend it enough. At some point you can expect emoji to come check on you (he's the owner/head chef).. the food is by far the highest quality.

Finally an Asian restaurant who were so accommodating for my intolerance Chef even came to chat over the menu and was so diligent I was honestly WOWED Absolutely tasty too! Will be back for sure Thanks so much

Great chippy! Very popular. Good choice. Friendly staff. Family run.

Delicious foods. Clean and nice atmosphere especially the sushi chef(maybe boss) was very kind

Well, where do i start. We arrived at 7:20pm for our 8pm table for our 2 window seat as previously requested, having recieved a confirmation email 24hrs previously inviting us to enjoy a pre dinner cocktail in the bar. Bar was shut. Left to have drink in local pub Dog & Duck (recommended). Returned to our table (away from window) at 7:55pm to find the restaurant about half full. Ordered the £40 Rose and requested 2 x mains almost immediately, waitress returns 5 mins later to say there was a 30m wait for food. This was probably due to the 20 odd people sitting at the bench seating next to us. Needless to say we did not fancy the 1/2hr+ wait for 2 mains & left, cancelling the wine. Suggestions for the management; 1. Tell customers the bar is shut,not open 24hrs before. 2.Tell the customer there is a 1/2 wait for food apon arrival ( they tell you that in pubs). 3. Don’t take massive block bookings at the cost of other customers. 4. If you do, food must be pre ordered from online menu with deposit taken. 5. If you can’t do that,make sure you have enough staff to work the kitchen. Needless to say we shall not be returning as we do not want special treatment. I did not even mention it was my wife’s Birthday apon making the original booking.

Chaplin is no longer what it once was. Damage.

Was served a black coffee by a sweet little girl, she said her name was Lottie, she was fantastic, gave me all the information about the town and served me a lovely ramen what was packed full of flavour, She then went in to tell me it was made by a lovely gentleman named Joe. From my understanding they are together and make a fantastic power couple runny the place like king and queen. 5🌟

We had a lovely Sunday lunch, beautiful food, plenty on the plate, very nice staff nothing too much trouble, well recommend, we'll be going back.

First time customer, and the last. I don’t know what they are cooking them in ,but they have absolutely no taste what so ever, the fish haddock was over cooked and very dry, the batter not crisp at all, more like leather, very disappointed in this chippy.
