The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly and attentive bar staff, best food ever. Shout out to Taylor for giving me the best customer service I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend!

Sunday Roast here is a true vibe! I went with my family and family friends and it totally hit the spot. I started with the roast beef as the main course, and it was just perfect, very tender and juicy, melted in my mouth, and the gravy was really nice too. I loved the "pigs in blankets" as the extra side dish - tasty sausages and nice crispy bacon. For a side, we also shared the cauliflower and cheese, and wow, it was cheesy goodness! The plate is rather big though, so better share between 2-3 people. My English pudding for a dessert was awesome, I went for the one with cream but you could order with some ice cream. Honestly, the whole experience felt really good, I would love to be back and try something else on their menu. Good choice of beer in the bar, loved the Neck Oil! Great service too, thanks to Izzy.

What a fantastic experience! Visited this pub on a sunny day in the middle of a hike. The food, vegetables too, were delicious and some declared the best they’d ever eaten!! Cheffing at its best. Try the sweet potatoes 😋. The staff were delightful, the interior modern and welcoming, the outdoor seating and gardens beautifully kept. Thank you folks, we will be back. Soon. 😊

The pub felt dirty with substantial cobwebs around the ceiling and lights where we were sitting. The service was ok but with only one person running the bar and taking and delivering food orders, really that efficient. The food was adequate but nothing worth having again. The chicken was very tough, over cooked and greasy and the puddings were tasteless and microwaved. To top it off there was a 12.5% service added to the bill for three of us and poor service we all thought was far too much. The entire pub needs a face lift, but until that has happened I will not visit again and the same goes for the friends I was with. Such a shame as it could be such a lovely pub!

Lovely staff. Excellent service and great pub lunch. Would highly recommend even for a quick pit stop. We had a cheese and tomato sandwich and a scotch egg. Both were fabulous

My wife and I had an absolutely superb evening at the Dog and Duck in Wokingham. A clean, tidy, warm and very hospitable atmosphere. All of the food was yummy scrumpy delicious and the staff very attentive and friendly. Given the very high standards all round, and its central location in Wokingham, I can’t believe the excellent value for money. We will definitely be going back again and again… why wouldn’t you!

From the outset the bar staff were friendly and helpful and could not be faulted the food was exquisite and the portion sizes were just right , the value for money was spot on. The ambiance with the view over the Solent as the sun went down was captivating Thank you Seaview Hotel for a memorable evening

I am very surprised by the good reviews. This was the worst pub restaurant we have ever been to. I phoned the day before to check that they were dog friendly. I was assured that they were dog friendly, and I had read some reviews saying that dogs were welcome. We have two very small very well behaved dogs. When we arrived we were met with an elderly man who was extremely rude and grumpy. His first words were that we must not allow the dogs on the furniture or in the garden. He made us feel extremely unwelcome and very uncomfortable. We had a dog pram for the dogs so it was obvious that we were considerate dog owners. We were considering leaving, but we had all travelled quite a distance and didn't know of anywhere else locally. The furniture was old uncomfortable and tatty. The garden was a muddy hole with two swings. I asked if I could have chunky chips with my sandwich and I was told it comes with small fries and if I wanted chunky chips I would only get 3 chips! Surely working in hospitality, this is not the way to treat customers. Perhaps he should have suggested that I could order a side order of chips... when our food arrived the waiter spilled coke over one of the plates. He did not even apologise or offer to replace the meal. The food was ok, nothing special. No one asked if everything was ok, or if we wanted anything else. We were just left alone. It is also very overpriced. For 3 small lunches, 2 glasses of coke and a small bottle of water, we were charged over £60. I wish I had been told they were not dog friendly when I phoned. This was very unfair and ruined a special day for us.

Great place, we like it here it’s just nice to come to a lovely laid out garden centre which has a variety of all sorts good prices too But we love the cafe/restaurant never had a bad meal always been very good, coffee great too It’s a busy little place friendly staff plenty of room to park always a joy to go

This should have been super duper as the area in the town is sited in a pretty cobbled market square in the old historic town centre. The sun was out and we walked into the cafe with only compliments about the range of pastries and food on display. We ordered two ciabatta with feta and salad filling ( I hadn’t got my specs on so couldn’t read the £) our friends had a vegan roll and a sausage twist. I asked for a “pot” of decaf tea. The problem arose when I asked for another pot of hot water….. the waitress brought me a cup half filled with hot water ?! I thought she had misheard my request ….. as a bug flew straight into it i returned it and asked for a replacement, but a “pot” with a lid on it ( to keep stray bugs out and the heat in). They said they could only give me a cup of water ?…. I thought they might not have any more tea pots spare. They said no I wasn’t allowed another tea pot ! I was only allowed a cup and if I wanted, as suggested a disposable cup with a lid I would be charged 20p extra. The fact that the sandwich ( tasty but by no means huge- was £10) and the bill arrived at £26 you would have thought a pot of hot water wasn’t too much to ask for. Anyhow we won’t return there as the manner by which it was handled ( infront of other patrons was unprofessional) I felt sad for the waitress who looked embarrassed. I happen to think a good service of a pot of tea should be offered with extra hot water I like to take my tea on a certain way - maybe she thought I was going to run away with her pot?! Sad as we’re staying in Abingdon but won’t patronise this cafe again.

We held my uncle's wake here on Saturday, December 28th in the upstairs function room. From start to finish, we were looked after impeccably by the whole team. Nothing was too much trouble. Buffet lunch was plentiful, hot and delicious. Everyone commented on how nice both the food and venue was. The whole team made the event go without a hitch and I genuinely cannot thank them enough. Wishing all at The Wenvoe Arms a very happy new year!

This local pub is well used by the locals and visitors alike the food is very good on the both days I eat there. The staff and locals are very pleasant and welcoming and a pleasure to meet

On a horrid rainy New Year's Day I went into Eight with three friends for my birthday. Daniel & his team were absolutely lovely & made me feel special & really spoilt me. The food was delicious & the customer service outstanding. Thank you for a lovely time & a happy new year to you all.

As a local, with the beach on our doorstep, O'Sheas would usually be my first choice when it comes to Fish and chips. However, I can't tell you how disappointed I feel after a visit there today. Customer service is applying. I won't be returning.

If you like good Frito Misto this is the place.Ideally placed opposite my favourite bar Whistle Trago in George Street this tapas restaurant is a great change from fish and chips.The Frito
