The best restaurants in South East

The only good thing are the staff, they were lovely. The food on the other has really deteriorated unfortunately. Very sad indeed, it was once lovely place to go to.

Big family get together, food came out all same time everyone happy, great atmosphere loving the Chicken Pie. Fish and Chips looked amazing, but home made pie stole the show👌

What an exceptional restaurant. It was our first visit on a special occasion and the greeting at the door was warm and friendly. The co owner Ryan came to our table and with a real sense of warm professionalism talked us through the food options. Although many around us were choosing the ‘taster menu’, we decided on a la carte. The restaurant was intimate but spacious, with only 20 covers in an area that would easily of managed 40. The food was sublime, well designed and created and a pleasure to eat. To summarise a magnificent restaurant and a truly memorable evening.

2nd time as came just before Christmas. This time for mothers day could not fault the service from moment you walk in then untill you leave. Alex was fantastic from moment he took our drinks till we finish the meal. Could not fault service.

Great food, great views. It has inside and outside dining available - make sure you book well in advance if you want your choice of where to sit. If the weather is likely to be good, consider outside looking at the sea. Excellent food choice, expertly cooked, served with a friendly smile. A menu that includes specials and "catches of the day". Not cheap but worth every penny if you're marking a special occasion.

Such a cosy and atmospheric place! If it’s warm, try to sit in the gardens. Definitely worth your time, food was delicious

We had a superb evening at the Estate Grill celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary – our reeption had been held at Great Fosters. The food was consistently incredible and everyone who works there was the right mix of polite, friendly and enthusiastic. A particular mention for Molly who gave us excellent service and wonderful menu recommendations. Our special night was made all the more special by everyone at the Estate Grill and, just to mention it again, the quality of the food was unsurpassable.

Absolutely love the Chandos Arms. The service and food is absolutely amazing. True traditional pub! It's a must if your in the area

We have just enjoyed a 3 night stay at the Lazy Lion. Could not recommend this gem highly enough. We were treated so well from start to finish. On arrival the young staff offered to carry my bags when showing us our room. Room was clean, bed large and very comfortable. Loads of nice touches in the room such as lovely china and glasses, loads of tea, coffee and biscuits. Fresh bottled water, large towels, cushions and throws. Room was homely and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant and had the salad, fish and chips, mussels and raspberry and chocolate cake. All well presented and great taste and value for money. The hotel owner was very friendly and made us feel as if we’d known him for years. Breakfast was included and was easily the best breakfast experience in any hotel I have visited. No booking time slots, just pitch up when you’re ready to be greeted warmly. The staff go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and service is speedy. Tables set with nice cutlery, good quality condiments and sauces, linen napkins, cereal and homemade granola and a great choice of hot food. Good quality ingredients. Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs was my favourite but the full English was also excellent. We were full all day from our breakfasts. So overall we thoroughly enjoyed and would return in a heartbeat.

I’m really sorry to have to make a public complaint but I sent an email and got no reply. The reason I give it one star despite an overall good price/quality ratio is to highlight this issue and warn other tourists. I dined at this establishment on Saturday September 7, paying at 6.18pm a $98 bill. I added $20 tip in cash and I misunderstood what I had to fill in the receipt, adding a $20 tip as gratuity for a total $118. A staffer working there told me I made a mistake because I was effectively tipping twice, and that she’d strike out the $20 from the receipt so I wouldn’t get charged the tip twice. She told me that she’d do it because they’re honest and that other establishments wouldn’t be that honest. She could have returned the cash but didn’t and also didn’t give me a receipt, but I trusted her word. Yet more than 24 hours later, on Sunday September 8, I got a notification after 9pm saying the amount charged had changed to $118. It’s not fair to make that change more than 24 after the initial charge, as I don’t have the option to return to the diner so all I can do is to email and to ask here to do the right thing and reverse the charge back to $98.

Love this spot! Staff are friendly and the food is good. Have visited with friends and family. Lunch time is always busy so you may have to wait. Sandwiches, soups, salads, cakes: all delicious. A few tables outside on the pavement but no shade.

What a gem of a place, a very tidy traditional pub with excellent staff and food. A bit of a tardis as the pub extends way back and also has a small private dining room on the ground floor along with a beer garden. Well recommended

Good prices and varied menu.most of us had the carvery which was sublime.couldn't fault the experience in any way.A++++.wish they'd open one in Eastbourne.😀

We hosted an afternoon tea with 30+ ladies at Palm Court Pavilions. Seamus and Rachel were amazing from the very first email and were always on the end of the phone on the lead up to the event. The weather was not on our side that day, however being sheltered in the fully purposed marquee and given our own area was great. All of the staff were brilliant and helped us to set up and made sure we were fully catered for throughout. We had a couple of dietary requirements, which were fully catered for. Feedback on the gluten free option "best gluten free sandwiches and cake selection!". This place is a hidden gem - great just to enjoy in your own time and fantastic for a event / party!

We had a superb dinner at the Clock House. Amazing food, service and wine. Attentive staff made the whole experience a real treat for us
