The best restaurants in South East

Fantastic place for Chinese food. Everything is vegan and so amazing. Even my animal eating guests were impressed how lovely the food was. They used to be a restaurant now only do takeaway and for only 3 days a week.

Oh my goodness we had such an amazing meal. The food is absolutely delicious and the service was incredible. We will definitely be returning

Tasty, very nice service. You feel at home when you enter this restaurant. I recommend to everyone.

Wow! So much excellent food. Don’t visit unless you’re really hungry! We all had different and were so please. Will certainly be back. My husband and I had Lasagna it was great

I often come here for morning coffee with friends and we are normally very happy with the coffee, but the last couple of times we have all agreed that the coffee is not as good as it used to be. Is it a different kind of coffee or do you have a new Barista? It is always very busy when we come so perhaps the coffee making has just been a bit rushed? I wonder whether anyone else has said anything. Hope it was just a blip as we love everything else about the cafe.

What a lovely, warm, friendly bar. Excellent service, food & wine. I would highly recommend a visit.

We always buy our fish from here when in Rye. Great choice, friendly staff and most importantly superb fish. Always helpful in choosing the best fish for you.

The quality of everything here is exceptional! Superb menu, everything is high quality, delicious flavours and quality ingredients. The pricing is always excellent value and the food consistently first class with every visit. Excellent coffee too. Lucky to have this place close by!

We enjoyed another lovely meal at the Red Lion. The interiors, welcome and general atmosphere are warm and inviting. Good Oxfordshire beers, Laithwaites wines and hearty dishes are the main elements of the dining experience. I think since our last visits there are less flourishes, but there remain some lovely surprises, like the feta bonbon with the lamb rump. Leave some room for dessert as the delice is amazing. At the weekend booking is essential.

Amazing, the food and drinks were delicious. The service was great, definitely my new favourite place. Small but beautiful what more could you ask for

thank you Debbie for your beautiful homemade cakes and scones and a great selection of teas! We were a party of 20 and the service was excellent too - everyone loved the afternoon and we’ll definitely come back

Booked Afternoon Tea as a treat for my sister. Had to order sandwich fillings in advance from a really good selection. Perfect Afternoon Tea, had so much food had to have a doggy bag. Service was great, really friendly and checking if anything needed. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back. Place was really busy for an afternoon during the week as well.

Warm welcome, rather pushy waiter taking order, good service BUT food mediocre: my husband’s aubergine melanzana was not good he said, and his dish of the day pasta bland & tasteless; based on glowing reviews I chose the lamb, that was more less without flavour inc sauce & I’d been pushed to order extra veg by waiter and got a watery spoonful of spinach @ 6.50. Expensive meal and really disappointing

Popped in for a quick toasties. I had ham and cheese my wife had ham salad. 10 out of 10 for service and taste. Served by very friendly staff. Try them, you'll love them. Owners dog is very friendly too!

Had a takeaway from the Gurkha restaurant and it was amazing as usual, service was above and beyond, our driver called to say he was running 10 minutes late more like 5 minutes when he arrived and handed us a bottle of beer on the house due to the delay. Top class food and service all round.
