The best restaurants in South East

Warm and cosy. Great food. Had Sunday lunch here before, which was very tasty and not shy on the portions. This time we dined on a Saturday evening. Dishes included,to start, fishcakes,arancini and soup of the day. Mains, homemade burger, homemade pie, catch of the day, all with plenty of sides. Everyone throughly enjoyed what they ate, and again portions more than ample. Good selection of local drinks. Service was very polite and attentive. Will be dining here again and would recommend.

Amazing staff! Lovely experience

Fish restaurant with interesting food choices. I had the soft shell crab and a very nice pan fried sole. The service was good very few diners there on that occasion

A great spot to catch up with friends over cake & coffee. Beautifully decorated for Christmas & staff so welcoming & helpful. My only grumble was that the cake was a little dry, I’ve had better there before. But still delicious & edible.

The before and after photos are enough of a review, but we went for a Steak & Harveys ale pie, a Cheddar & caramelised onion pie, both with perfect chunky chips, thick flavoursome gravy plus red cabbage, and tenderstem broccoli sides. Thanks.

Food was good! A little disappointed that some menu items were not available

We have been making a regular 10 mile journey to the Plough for nearly two years. This is because the venue, the hospitality, the amazing Thai food & the staff are first class. We highly recommend!

If I could give it a 0 out of 5 I would!!!! The worst curry I genuinely have ever had, I have had ready meals from Sainburys miles better than this watery mess. I can’t believe how expensive it was for the standard of the food and wait time. Please do not waste your time with this restaurant and go to any other restaurant. This is not an exaggeration, I would not even describe what we tried to eat as curry. We ordered 2 chicken tikka masala’s and saag aloo, couldn’t even eat it after 2 mouthfuls, horrendous. STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT 0/5!!!!!!!

Surely impossible to find better pizza anywhere in Brighton! The food is always delicious and the service is invariably swift, friendly and efficient. Negative reviews from those with no TA history can safely be ignored. VIP is nearly always full and it’s normal to see a queue outside the door so booking in advance is advisable. Highly recommended.

Really well thought out themed Italian restaurant. Every last detail from the menu to the decor and the food was superbly done.

My Uncle and I have been visiting the Green Dragon regularly for the past 9 years. The food is incredible and the staff are fabulous. As a vegan, I know that I am always going to be extremely well catered for. Last night, we had a lovely surprise in that, they had a music bingo event on. It was hilarious and so much fun. I’m so pleased we joined in! Will definitely be back for more of their events.

We had booked the bugle for a weekend away having seen Chef Lenny on James Martin. We arrived Friday afternoon and checked into our room before popping back down for a quick beer, the bar and outside seating area were busy with a good atmosphere. By the time we came back down for our evening meal the whole place had a fantastic buzz and there was not a spare table! We were shown to our table and offered drinks before deciding on our dining choices, the food was clearly freshly made and both starters and mains were high end pub food. The rooms are a little tired but very comfortable and wanting for nothing, and whatever you asked for the staff were soon on hand. Breakfast is superb, having opted for granola with yoghurt followed by a full English nothing else was required during the day! Highly recommend the Bigle if you are in the area, we visited Winchester for the day via the local bus service which is a 2 minute walk from the pub We will be back

It was ok, nothing special. It wasn’t bad and it wasn’t wow! Average..would we return if we’re in Eastbourne again? Probably not as loads of other restaurants around here to try. This review is purely based on the food as the waitress was really lovely and friendly.

Beautiful village pub 🍻, with the highest quality of service and food ,I really enjoyed my experience here and I'll be going again

Hi Chris Just wanted to say a huge Thank You to you and the team, including Tobias! for another great Christmas night at the Oak Barn last Friday night. Food delicious and hot, entertainment spot on, service impeccable…Bloody well done!
