The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Havent been here for years & popped in for an anniversary drink. So glad we did as service really friendly & though the actual building hasnt changed it is so much cleaner & welcoming. Outside seating improved & will def return to try food. Best place to drink in marina.

Lovely venue, comfortable and good atmosphere. Good selection of beers and soft drink options. However food expensive and underwhelming. Everyone felt the same having all had different dishes. The explanation on the menu sounds delicious- but in reality was over priced and bland. Such a shame as good venue. So drinks only for us next time !

Called in at The Trigger Pond for Lunch on a Wednesday. Could'nt fault it. Friendly staff, excellent service (Ollie Martyn) Tasty food and good atmosphere. We will go again.

After a long hike through the Surrey Hills I stopped here for a spot of lunch and to catch up on some correspondence. This is one of the best pubs in Surrey, the food was amazing, fresh homemade cooking and a pudding to die for. Fireplaces stoked, amazing art on the walls and fantastic staff. 0% Guinness for the cherry on top. Good enough for me to write a review.

Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had in a hostelry! The men's toilets are disgusting! They have a drug problem with some of the customers snorting in the toilet stalls! The bar staff are surly! The manager is an oaf who thinks he can talk to people like dirt! As for the Sunday roast? I like vegetables drained of water,gravy with something less like brown water and a slice of meat thicker than aluminum foil! Three years ago they had a polite,enthusiastic manager that kept the place well run and had a beer garden devoid of trash and toilets that had operating facilities and didn't smell! The ale selection was fantastic too!

Ordered a takeaway to satisfy our late night sweet cravings. Got Smores Hot Pocket - Crepe with dark chocolate , marshmallows and fudge cake, topped with white chocolate drizzle and crunchy crumps - The crepe was really good 🤤 & Hot N Cold Choc Cake Volcano Sundae- Hot chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream, toffee sauce, milk chocolate shavings and wafer- Sundae was delicious 😋

Dropped in for lunch on way back from a day out. We hadn’t booked, but were seated swiftly in the garden. Can honestly say this is one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten, and I have had a lot of pizza! Salad and fries also lovely and fresh. Even though it’s a 40 minute drive from our house, we will visit again just for the pizza!

We came here to eat at the restaurant. The food was good, I'd say 4/5, but there were a lot of things that we found disappointing. The service was quite poor, it was almost a privilege to get some attention, and when you did the staff almost seemed surprised that were asking for something. The cutlery was blunt, making it almost impossible to cut through a roast beef dinner, the roast potatoes were quite underdone. We booked a table for 5 and only had 3 place settings, having to ask for the place settings to actually be made by the time the mains arrived (nothing given for starters).....really needs some improvement on the service side!

Nice bar. Especially outside area. Cheaper drinks than other places on the Cowley Road. It's a shame I had to leave such a bad review. But waiting over 1 hour 20 minutes for 5 Chicken Goujons isn't acceptable and to not even get an apology was a disgrace.

Decided on this establishment after looking at the menu as we only wanted a light lunch. I ordered a prawn and avocado sandwich with granary bread, when it arrived it was ok, but the crusts of the bread were very hard. I would say that the prawns were actually old shrimps. My husband ordered a club sandwich, about 5 minutes after ordering the waitress came to say that there was no more chicken so he had a bacon and egg sandwich. When it arrived the bread looked like it was cheap supermarket bread, the bacon was also over cooked. And finally the chips were a mix of freshly cooked chips and others that had been cooked before. I have to say overall I was disappointed

First time here. Had lunch with a friend. Slightly pricey but the food is excellent, service was great and had a lovely ambiance with quiet background music. Will definitely be going again!

Cool vibe in the summer blasting out tunes on the stereos, bit pricey for the drinks though

What a shame! We have been meeting friends at The Bricklayers Arms for many years and always had good food in a very friendly atmosphere. On our latest visit there was a restricted menu and what food we had was over cooked, poorly presented and in one case inedible. On the plus side the young lady who served us and appeared to be the only staff on duty in the bar and restaurant was very friendly.

Lovely old pub - beams, log fires, friendly staff and great food. All at reasonable prices too! My lasagna was comforting and filling. Given that the restaurant was full on a Monday lunchtime - we can assume that this pub is very popular. I will definitely return!

Lovely food, great friendly service always very accommodating . Great ambiance and large car park . Reasonable prices and great choice. Good use of local products
