The best restaurants serving British food in South East

I was a bit worried initially it was more of an instagram trap but the coffee and cake we had was lovely and the overall vibe has a charming tranquil quaint feeling to it. The pricing falls in line with most other places, I would definitely love to return to try some other drinks at some point. I think one thing I might suggest to staff is maybe adding something to prevent the back door from slamming quite so loud, I found it easy enough to just close it gently but most were just letting it slam shut.

Lovely staff and super fresh food. Other half had a build your own breakfast and I had a veggie one. Both very nice. Wouldn’t hesitate to go again.

We’ve been here so often now! It’s always a pleasure. The food is fresh and delicious, the range is great and there’s something to suit everyone - in our experience, picky, plain and adventurous eaters, vegans, those with light and hearty appetites and everyone in between will all eat well, and even your dog will get a biscuit. The service is always friendly and welcoming. It’s a lovely place, we strongly recommend it.

We eventually found your cafe with the help of a local man. He brought us to the cafe as we couldn't find it. His name was Keiran. A really friendly guy. Well it didn't disappoint. We had been to a funeral,it was freezing and we were in need of hot food. We got the large breakfast, not the mega one. I have to say it was hot and delicious. Plenty of tea, coffee, toast, brown and white. And a full plate of delicious food. It was huge. I couldn't finish all of mine...but what meat I didn't eat,I got some foil and took it home to my little dog. The owners were from south Africa originally. Mother and daughter and I think a brother. They were so very nice. Really friendly. Thank you. It was a real pleasure eating in your out of the way cafe 😋😉

Lovely food, staff can't do enough for you and are very friendly and helpful, good portions no matter what you order! Best cafe in town by a country mile 👌

Best cafe in Medway amazing cakes 🍰 delicious produce tip top breakfast 🍳 highly recommend 👌

Great food. Great service. In the restaurant and delivery

We booked, paid in full in advance to the 24 Jan pop up in the Blue Jasmine restaurant in Southampton Ocean Village; what a disaster and disappointment it was. Ending our dry January early to celebrate our engagement we paid £170 for a taxi as well as paying for the multi course dinner. No welcome drink and no food not even some bread (despite asking for some) for an hour. After this a table of six left to eat in the Jasmine; we wish we’d joined them as after another our we had only had one starter. After three and a half hours we left in frustration at the lack of food, or any apology. To summarise, Don’t Go AO!

Me and my family on day trip to sheerness we struggled to find good food around. Then we came cross THE WALNUT TREE bar and restaurant. Hidden in village beauty. Best lamb shank I have ever tasted great atmosphere indoors and outdoor also little chicken coop. Hen was really interesting in people around. Best day

I’ve been coming here for years and have always said this is one of the best, consistently good fish and chip take aways in the area. But you don’t come here for atmosphere or the looks of the place, it’s the food which has always been good and great value. The portions have always been known to be generous so been warned if you order large chips. It’s that traditional retro take away that has good character and the basic menu which is perfect, no frills or fancy extras but all you need if you’re after decent fish and chips take away. It’s clearly a family run business and they have always been nice and welcoming to me, and more than happy to cook you fresh if the size isn’t want you after in the counter. It’s cash only, so take note, literally and expect a little queue on Fridays.

Always a pleasure to dine at the college restaurant. Students were attentive and polite good great.

Excellent service with friendly, welcoming staff. Our group has been here before. Now under new management, it’s still fantastic. We enjoyed our roasts and Loaded nachos. The lasagne tasted great but was a little small. Overall, excellent and will go again.

This was my first visit to The Salmon Leap although I have heard about it for years. I had thought because of the name that it was close to the river which it is not, so that was a bit disappointing! As others have said the value is very good, I had Rabbit and Bacon Pie which was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful cocktails! Best atmosphere and hospitality with Alex making superb cocktails. Great music and a fab Saturday

Thank you so much we had my friends baby shower on Sunday and it was absolutely fabulous wonderful service beautifully decorated. Nothing was too much trouble and the afternoon tea was amazing. I would highly recommend. Thank you. Bluebells tea room.
