The best restaurants in South East

Lovely Coffee shop, came after a long walk, had a Latte and a piece of cake both very tasty, great service and good value

Such a charming little place. The staff seem to know everyone by name so obviously a regular clientele. Such a shame it will close on 21st. I’m sure it will be missed as seems like a real community hub

So to summarise. The Surrey Hills cafe is superb. Really great quality of ingredients in the full english, the sausages and bacon are clearly high quality. A really great variety of ingredients-for example rarely do you get bubble and squeak as an option on a full english anymore but yes here they do. Everything is presented really well. The staff are freindly and welcoming. Its just all round a great place for breakfast or lunch. Prices are great-for the quality and amount of items you get on a breakfast it really is amazing value.

Went here on a Sunday Lunchtime to meet with friends. Our table on arrival was ok and table space was ok too. The problem started when I received an overcooked Toasted Salt Beef Sandwich. I didn’t complain as we where with friends and didn’t want to spoil the meeting. There food was ok but nothing special. Thete Lasagne had far to much cheese on top. Also my coffee could have been warmer. Probably won’t go back.

Always one if my first stops when visiting Whitstable. Joy’s food always hits the spot. Her food is fresh, outstanding quality and the taste rates as 5 ⭐️ The Thai fish cakes and pad Thai are perfection, stop by and grab a bite.

One of the fun things about travelling around, (often in your own 'backwoods'), is when you unexpectantly stumble across a small eaterie or coffee house that you did not know existed... as was just the case for me recently with Forest Edge Roasting in Lyndhurst. I spend quite a bit of time in The New Forest and especially in Lyndhurst, (the de facto capital of the Forest in fact), for one reason or another and am quite well acquainted with the High Street coffee chains & independent outlets in the main part of the high street..but I don't normally have reason to head further up the village past the terrific Lyndhurst Antiques sited on the corner. However last week whilst visiting a couple of friends who trade in the Antique Centre somebody mentioned Forest Edge Roasting, just around the corner..so offering to buy them hot drinks, I popped around the corner..just 3 or 4 doors up... and there indeed it was. Not sure if I had opened the right door, (it looking for all the world like an entrance to one of the flats above), a good-looking, well laid out & spotlessly clean, coffee bar met my eyes, with several comfy-looking nooks in which to sit... and in the far corner, a small wee business-like area where, I was told, the owner actually roasts the coffee beans..so you can't get much fresher than that!. The delightful young lady behind the counter was very welcoming and appeared to know well the specific coffee order that I was putting in for my two friends..and for me, well I opted for a hot chocolate. Probably a sacrilegious thing for me to order in a 'proper' coffee house', but she was very happy with my order and so, thankfully, I got my 'rare treat'! On a cold morning, I am so glad I stuck to my guns and ordered my favoured hot-choccie as it was just superb..and was even more pleased that I ordered their large option..for though in my experience of ordering take-out drinks, hot chocolate is an easy drink to get wrong: too thick or too thin, too sweet or not sweet enough..luke- warm or mouth-burningly hot....however Forest Edge Roasting's offering was spot-on and just mouth-watering.... ....and my two pals also gave the thumbs up to their coffees as well! So if you ever find yourself down in Lyndhurst, (you may have popped in to view the famous Ferrari garage down at the bottom of the village or you are perhaps heading up to see Alice Liddell's grave...the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's 'Alice Through The Looking Glass'... in the Churchyard of St Michael & All Angels Church at the top end of Lyndhurst), make sure you find time to you pop into Forest Edge Roasting, ( at the top of the village on the right-hand side), for cuppa..either in or as a take-out..! Here you'll get a wonderful welcome, a cracking hot drink...and you'll also be helping another hard-working, small local business compete with the major high street chains in these times of tough trading! 👍

Good food good service quick for a good medium priced lunch Not too busy so one could talk Quality of food great what more could you want

We thoroughly enjoyed visiting as part of a walk. A stunning pub, with an amazing garden, big fan of the range of events on offer.

Dropped in on spec when driving through. Friendly ambiance, excellent food freshly cooked. Looking forward to finding an excuse to go again.

Great asset for the village, as a local store, and very welcome break on a cycle as cafe stop. Always lovely fresh sandwiches, pies and flans and cakes, plus great coffee from the van beside.

Gran servicio y deliciosa comida y pasteles frescos. El dueño siempre todos muy bienvenidos. Sin duda recomendaría probar este café.

There food is really nice and I'm glad I've found a descent kebab place to get a takeaway from now on. The staff are friendly I give this place a 10/10

Great spot - excellent food, gifts and coffee! Although there is nothing nearby to compare it with - it is all the better for it, as I don’t want to go anywhere else!

Really good food excellent value and freshly cooked. It is a must for a visit. It’s also very clean with friendly staff. ❤️❤️

We’ve been here a few times for sandwiches, today we thought we would try the Brie, bacon and cranberry paninis. I can honestly say it’s the worst panini I’ve ever had. The bacon was really very fatty and cold. Both of us only ate one mouthful and then had to remove all the bacon. The lady behind the counter was very busy so I didn’t feel able to complain.
