The best restaurants in England

Sadly we experienced an awful night here for my dad’s birthday. Dreadful service. We were told we weren’t booked in and left waiting around when we were. When they realised their mistake there was very little by way of an apology. It was apparently all a big joke! Then we were taken to our table which was so crammed that a lady was sat with her back to us between myself and my father. Our order wasn’t taken for forty minutes and the waiter went to other tables first and they actually ended up sending him over to us. One waiter came over and I smiled at him thinking he was going to take our order when he turned his back on me and actually walked off!

Has a new owner who makes fantastic sandwiches well. Both panini’s were well cooked and so full of flavour. The beef salad was huge, very fresh and had everything. Give it a try

We've visited this place quite a few times now and never been disappointed, the food is very reasonably priced always a good tasty portion. Staff are helpful and polite and service is quick. We've tried a few different meals but the sausage and bacon sandwiches set you up for a good beach walk

This a fantastic little place. Gorgeous food and lovely family serving you. Amazing value, Ben a couple of times now and haven't tasted a bad dish on the menu. The meatballs are a particular highlight.

We popped in here for lunch when staying at a nearby hotel, and the food was so good we went back again the next day. Lovely food, and owned and run by a very friendly man - definitely worth heading here to support local businesses when you are on the South Bank.

Sometimes when eating on your own for what ever reason - it can be difficult to find a place where you are made to feel very welcome. Sam is an amazing hostess - Alan is a brilliant Wine Waiter - certainly knows his stuff. Great Food - superb friendly atmosphere - and in these uncertain times a rare gem all within the Gov Guidelines. Plenty of parking available and a luvverley garden to look out onto. I can highly recommend this venue. 5*.

My go to coffee and cake place in herne bay. I'm not vegan, but i love it here. Really nice atmosphere with lovely staff. Nice to have a selection of books for sale and an area for little ones to wind down. Coffee is superb and has every type of dairy alternative you can name. I recommend oat milk with an americano if you're new to this. It's a vegan establishment throughout, including the cakes, which for my money are the best in town. Ample in size and rich in taste. On a sunny day it's a sun trap on the pavement and ideal for people watching. The wonderful outlook from inside offers sea views and just a great place to relax and enjoy the best of herne bay.

We had breakfast at this lovely cafe. The food was lovely and was served with a smile. I would definitely recommend this cafe for breakfast and coffee.

Best breakfast lovely and fresh made to order staff really friendly very welcoming definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu

I visited the Lemon Grove over the Jubilee weekend. I found the menu choices fantastic, the food extremely tasty and great value for money (including drinks options)! Great for all the family, for lunch or dinners, or a solo traveller looking for a relaxed meal or a quick coffee. Lovely atmosphere and a great find! Highly recommend a visit.

Had a wonderful Monday evening here. Rich and Antony are superb hosts. Rich is extremely knowledgeable and found a perfect wine for me. Would be a great venue for a business meeting too. Such a good atmosphere. 5 mins from Victoria. Highly recommended.

Excellent breakfast cooked by the very friendly Nicola. The food is all cooked fresh. Lunch is also served each day. It’s great also in the summer as you can sit outside the back that backs onto the canal.

Very friendly and helpful couple who go above and beyond and the food is excellent would definitely recommend

Such delicious food, so many good options on menu, really well priced! all the sauces and sides are also so good

I had the pleasure of eating at Vonnies Balkan Express. Delicious veggie somun went down lovely. Would highly recommend you experience the cuisine.
