The best restaurants in South East

After just moving into the area, we landed up living very close to Spitfire. We have had a few pizzas since and cannot recommend this place enough. Incredible, fresh pizza and amazing price. Thank you so much! 🍕💛

Probably the best Indian I have had. I don’t usually write reviews but felt compelled as the food was so good. Staff are welcoming and the restaurant is spotless. As someone else mentioned, you are in for a nice surprise if you order the onion bhaji. My wife mentioned that the wine tasted crisp. Great experience, will be the only place I go to now for a curry.

Brilliant food Best cafe on island ,cheeky staff 😋 but brilliant and friendly and very clean nothings to much trouble as sometimes we can be a pain ordering different things .

A great family run business and a fantastic place to eat. I love the deli counter and fresh produce. Highly recommended 💜

Great place to stop mid walk or bike ride. I opted for a bacon roll and an egg roll. Three hefty chunks of bacon and three eggs. Unbeatable for taste, value and service. Comfortable picnic tables too. Carlesberg don't do cafes, but if they did...

Tony and Jack arranged my Aunt's wake. We couldn't have asked for more. From initial enquiry right though to the end of the day nothing was too much. Catered for all dietary requests and the food was first class and plentiful. Thank you from all the family

Delicious Tapas as always its our go to place for delicious food and a fabulous welcome. Inventive menu and always really good.

This is a great place for Sunday lunch. The decor is lovely, the service is prompt and friendly and the food is just fantastic. Very generous portions and beautifully cooked. Highly recommended.

Having just returned from 2 weeks training in Portsmouth I cannot stop raving about Kyes Cafe to everyone! Whether you are passing by for a quick bite to eat or on your lunch break, they have so much variety, very generous portion sizes, a different special everyday, the best hearty home comforts to satisfy any craving and don’t even get me started on the biscoff and kinder brownies and Victoria sponge! Kye and the lovely ladies alongside him make a fantastic team and always make you feel welcome, greeting you with a smile. You can see so much effort and love goes into their cafe and I will be sure to pay a visit whenever I’m back down in Portsmouth.

Quite Contrary is my favourite local cafe. Scrumptious cakes and scones baked in the cafe . Today I choose the delicious Chocolate and Orange Cake . Kim and Sue are always polite and cheerful.

We have been here on and off for over 40 years through many changes in ownership and guises. It is a lovely building and it was good to see that the current management had a fire going in the magnificent bar fireplace. We came for lunch and had fantastic food which was exceptional value particularly compared with other establishments in the area. My bacon, lettuce and tomato ciabatta was lovely and a full meal with chips and the best side salad I have had with a pub meal for a long, long time. My husbands lambs liver was also delicious. We look forward to returning.

Always a delight visiting Carlo deli. Today I picked up my absolute favourite Italian dish melanzana parmigiana, very hard to find! And some delicious (and so pretty) swirly biscotti da latte. Wonderful. 🇮🇹 💗

Yet another great meal. Always a friendly welcome and the food is always to a very high standard. My chicken kebab with salad was delightful as usual.

Stunning spot with wonderful teas, coffees and homemade cakes. The vegan brownie was divine. Friendly, efficient service. A really unique spot under the cliffs a short level walk or easy cycle from Brighton.

Stopped here this morning for a cuppa. Hubby had a cheese toasties and tea , I had a coffee and doorstep toast. Both were very good, really enjoyed them.
