The best restaurants serving British food in South East

After reading the very inviting comprehensive website I called to make a breakfast reservation in The Lounge at 9.30am. I was told by a very supercilious telephone operator that this is not possible ...it is 1st come 1st serve before 12.30pm which is not listed on the very comprehensive website.I then asked for other options and was told very superciliously that there were none.I expressed my disappointment in this not being listed on said website and she didn't give a darn. Well shes getting paid regardless.

Fantastic food and very nice member of staff called Dom who looked after us really well …. Big Thank You

Nice pub with a nice beer garden, friendly and fast service and delicious food. A stop there is worth it 😊

The Crown was ok. It does seem expensive for what it is. My sandwich had very ordinary sliced white bread, one corner of which was slightly stale! The filling was nice as was the slaw and fries. It just felt like new management from when I had much more enjoyed it in the past. So, ok only.

We had a lovely meal. We all had the mackerel pate to start which was delicious. The interior is classy and comfortable. The staff are friendly and professional. It's not cheap, but is probably worth paying for. I'm vegetarian and the choice is limited. For vegans, it doesn't provide any real choice. I think this could and should be rectified as it is easy to modify the menu.

Lovely lunch, great service and beer that tasted just perfect. I started with some really delicious sourdough bread with marmite butter and thai pesto, next was one of the most satisfying soups I had tasted in a long long while, a red thai curry soup that was both creamy and spicy. Next I had a tender wild garlic marinated chicken breast with chips and beetroot salad. Again sumptuously tasty, but with a flavour that reminded me of 'proper' chicken. Add to that, the meal was served by perfectly attentive, good humoured staff who really know how to their stuff. Well done!

Calm setting and nice food, great service

Attempted to have breakfast here: we sat, but never got served despite calling a waitress twice. We decided to leave

Lovely meal great staff. Just an update had a family occasion and the staff did a great job and looked after us all thank you.

Best fish and chips in Brighton

A fairly nice place. Staff were very friendly and service was very quick. The place felt crowded and cramped, but not too noisy. The full English I had was not perfect, since it was missing bacon. The mushrooms were not amazing.

Really great food and a lovely old pub. An interesting menu, beautifully cooked and well presented.

Great restaurant, excellent food menue. The food was tasty, not long to wait and reasonably priced. The staff were polite, attentive, and helpful. Excellent choice of drinks, reasonable price. I will definitely visit again.

Awesome as always great garden, lovely food

Loved this place whilst we were on holiday. A lovely afternoon drink and a snack. The place is stunning and dog friendly. The staff are so friendly. Both of us loved this place and are looking to book another trip and I will include here as one of our venues to visit again. .
