The best restaurants in South East

Quirky pub, good beer and great food

Once again we have had another wonderful breakfast! The staff are attentive. The food is flavourful. My favourites are the hogs pudding and the hash brown!

This was a lovely meal and my first time - I was impressed! The ambience and food was fantastic. The waitress was attentive and friendly xx

As a first-time experience, I HAVE to say how impressed I am. Excellent service and excellent value. The staff are very good, friendly and accommodating. My son has very specific dietary preferences, and they were very helpful. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious halal food. The service was friendly, the food arrived quickly and the portion size/flavours were well worth the price. Highly recommend.

What a find for this evening, after spending a day at a wedding conference we had made plans for dinner but cancelled when we saw Albero online, from the first phone call to the end of our dinner we can safely say it was amazing, food , ambience, wine, and lemon cheesecake to die for. We only wish that you were near us as you would be our go to favourite place to eat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was great and service was very good and nothing was to much when asking them to do something. Highly recommend this place.

Have driven past this a number of times. Just off the M25 on a roundabout. Plenty of parking. Have to register to park. Fantastic menu. Good value. Not cheap but great streaks. Extremely friendly service. Really nice inside. A little surprised by this but should not be. Good bar. Great ambience. Clearly very popular. A great treat. Lots of special from the app if you have it. In the area? Great place to eat with the family.

Charlotte Andy an team always make a super experience. The service and food were just great. A massive step up from the usual pub grub

My friend and myself are both vegan and we had been recommended here for the mushroom bourguignon and it didn’t disappoint! We were both amazed at how tasty and delicious it was. We are so impressed we are already planning our next visit here. One of the best vegan meals we have ever had!

During our visit, together with my wife, to the Old Thornes in January 2024, we ate here twice. The food was delicious, the location was very cozy and the owner was very gallant, my wife was in a wheelchair and the owner was very helpful and very friendly. Satisfied guests from the Netherlands Nino and Ratna Bear

Lovely staff and tasty food. Definitely recommend

Absolute pleasure to celebrate our anniversary at Filippo's. Ms. Filippo was friendly, attentive, and enthusiastic. The customer service was fantastic and the food was even better. I don't say it lightly, but this is the most authentic Italian cuisine I have eaten in the UK, no doubt as a result of the Sicilian chef. Everything we ate was fresh and made to order. We also enjoyed the best tiramisu I have experienced outside of Italy. All of the above is made better knowing that this is an independent, family owned restaurant. We will definitely be going back.

The concept is cute but badly executed. Everything is done cheaply including spray painting foliage with bright neon colours (badly!). Very cheap plastic tables and chairs with tacky plastic table clothes are rammed into the garden, leaving not even an inch between you and the guests at the next table, this makes it very hard if you want to get up to use the toilet. The women owner seems incredibly unhinged and the man who works alongside her seems absolutely petrified of both her and customers. We sat in the garden with our friends and our dogs. My dog is a nervous elderly rescue who has hip issues, meaning if he sits on a hard floor he quickly becomes in pain and will let everyone know about it. As I typically do in dog friendly places, I sat slightly back from the table with him on my lap, the woman owner scorned me and said he can't be there due to 'health and safety', if this was the case then most establishments on the island would be shut down as everyone allows well-behaved dogs to sit on laps, especially outside. I explained my dog's issues and still she said no, my dog was on the floor barking, at which she then complained about. These people shouldn't advertise themselves as dog friendly when they clearly don't like or understand dogs at all. I ordered an afternoon tea and asked to have green tea instead of English breakfast, the woman told me with a very snide look that it would be extra, I told her I was fine with paying extra and she looked angry that I was willing to provide more money to her business with this change. I said if it was a problem I would happily take the English breakfast and have a green tea on the side at an extra cost and she just walked away in a huff. When my tea arrived, my cup was dirty, no big deal as I understand dishwashers aren't fool proof, I asked the gentleman server for a new cup and he practically exploded with nerves at the idea and couldn't handle the request well. The food is average at best

Great service and great taste👏🤗
