The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Shout out to the blonde male that served us. Six of us have just been for lunch and all thought his customer service was outstanding. Professional but relaxed, welcoming and attentive. Food was amazing; clean, fresh and well presented. Cocktails tasty.

We tried to find this place and think it is closed now. Lots of building work going on in what we thought have been it’s location.

Lovely fish and chips, served by excellent friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Spent a pleasant hour or so here, early evening on a Saturday. Beers were well kept and fairly priced for the area. Atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.

Great cocktails and excellent staff

Gone down hill used to be amazing.

Lovely staff, food and authentic Italian experience looking forward to trying the specials board ❤️

Poor service by a male staff member on 29 Aug 24 around 1515hrs Asked for salt pepper, was informed to go and get it at the main door Used to get better service eating inside outside your not looked time after much Onions were not cooked on hot plates, but food was fair quality Prices above average if i was waited on and the food cooked better don't mind paying extra

This is a very old Inn got loads of character. Hannah, Mark and the team all really friendly. Bedrooms have very uneven floors need sea legs 😀. But very comfortable room. Set in a beautiful little village. I would stay again

Very welcoming and friendly pub. Great staff (thank you Tanaka for looking after our table). Excellent menu choice - their Sunday roasts are just yummy as is their bangers and mash!

Jess made us an absolutely stunning and delicious wedding cake at short notice. She perfectly understood what we were looking for both in terms of the cake and the decorations. It was so beautiful the whole room went quiet when it was brought in, and we had so many compliments on the taste as well! The whole process was very professional and reassuring, and really allowed us to take our minds off of it - which was especially important as the baker we had originally intended to use had to cancel only a few weeks before the wedding. In hindsight we're very pleased they did, as we could not imagine anything better than this!

Came to a friend's wake here. It's just started doing Mexican food so l'm not sure what the menu might be like ie whether it will include non Mexican items! Pretty standard pub with a bar that covers 2 areas plus a conservatory. Limited parking.

Excellent service, food good value and fine. The bench seating needs replacing, and atmosphere - a working pub. Very clean and new toilets.

This was a nice looking hotel in a lovely area. It is just scraping the 4 stars I have decided to rate it though because there were several points that were disappointing but none of them huge deals to me. However, one of the points should really have been a bigger deal to The Vines because, after booking, my details were clearly compromised somewhere along the line. I had booked via a third party site so it may have been their fault. I received SEVERAL emails and then WhatsApp messages from what was clearly a scam trying to get me to confirm my booking and payment via strange links. I called The Vines directly to confirm the booking and explain that I had received these communications but the lady who answered my call had no interest in the GDPR breach and simply confirmed my booking. To be honest, I couldn't be bothered to school her as to how that could have serious implications for the business. I had managed to get the messages to stop before I called. When we arrived at around 19:30 for our stay, we were informed that no food was being served because they were undergoing renovations. It wasn't the fault of the polite, young man who told us but we felt this should have been communicated prior to our arrival. Fortunately, we weren't that hungry and we did have snacks in our bag. Unfortunately, there wasn't a refrigerator in the room to keep them in despite the room description saying there was. There were many other things missing too- sugar for the tea making facilities, hand towels, TV remote for example. Also, when I booked it said I could bring my dog and this appeared to be at no extra cost. After I had paid for the booking I received a message telling me I had to pay more money on arrival to bring my dog. I wasn't asked to pay this when I got there thankfully. We were placed in an upstairs room and would've preferred a downstairs one since we had our dog with us but there was a decent green area to allow him to eliminate and a footpath opposite the hotel where we could give him a brief leg stretch before we set off the next day. The room was clean and spacious enough too, and the breakfast area was very nice, and our cooked breakfast was also good, and we appreciated it being included in the price. The location was great for us and made it easy to explore pretty Cotswolds villages and towns within a short drive as well as Jeremy Clarkson's pub. There's a lovely big garden centre for browsing in nearby in Burford but, if you're bringing your dog like us, it's not dog friendly sadly. I may consider staying at The Vines again in future, because I'm sure we'll revisit the area but it would depend on the prices.

wonderful place, came here after tiring and disappointing day of fossil hunting and the service and food just blew new life in me. unforgettable and can't wait to return again.
