The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Fantastic service, sadly my husband had some of the blue label in his wine which went un noticed until we mentioned it and I had a large bone in a small fillet of seabass. There was no apology, just a response from thr head chef of oh, that sometimes happens. This made me feel that we were there at their behest, not enjoying a relaxed Anniversary celebration as was intended. The waitress referred to my husband and I as guys which wasnt appreciated. Some incredibly odd food pairings of black garlic in a petit four and castel blue cheese and German sausage on a plate of Highland venison. It is the most beautiful building but I have enjoyed better tasting food in other locations. Sadly not for me, an8d I am classically trained in food cookery.

Beautiful setting, delicious food. Friendly faces upon arrival and all throughout the evening. This has been our go to for family Xmas meals for the last couple of years and we already decided it will continue next year. The warm beautifully decorated restaurant sets the scene for a lovely festive get together. Massive well done to the waiting staff and chefs for the top quality service and delicious meals.

Excellent food and service. Could be a little warmer on cold days. But worth a visit.

Disappointed with our visit. Was recommended by a friend. So decided to take my mum for her birthday. Afternoon tea was very nice. Cakes on stands looked very nice. Lovely crockery and the tea room was very pretty. On arrival thought it was very pleasant. Unfortunately the staff let it down. Didn’t feel very welcome. The two young ladies who served us were friendly and the other lady who brought out afternoon was nice. Unfortunately one member of staff was rather frosty. Had booked for 2 but had to take my toddler last minute and was made to feel this was an inconvenience as had to sit at a different table and told had to leave by certain time. Looks like a very nice place and food was good but service greatly let it down. Don’t think I would visit again due to this.

It's was mine and my friend first time. The staff are super friendly. The atmosphere and food/drink are great. I would definitely recommend to others. I'm going to be coming back more

Tasty fish and chips and friendly quick service

This place is truly the last bastion of great cafes/takeaways, always good roasted meats and potatoes, and all served by some lovely friendly ladies! The gobbler is a must!!

Visitamos en familia para 8 (6 adultos, 2 pequeños) y nos atienden perfectamente. Todos disfrutamos de nuestra comida y la selección fue genial! Incluso los niños de 3 y 6 años en nuestro grupo eran felices! Gracias por la deliciosa comida, un entorno encantador y un servicio encantador, haciendo pequeños ajustes para mantener a nuestros pequeños felices!

This pub came well recommended, and the reviews were great. I called the day before and spoke to a very professional member of staff called Jack, who helped book us a table for the following day. I'm glad we booked because when we arrived at lunchtime the car park was full, as was the pub. On arrival, the staff were very professional and explained how their system worked. We sat at our table and gave our order to the polite waitress that attended us. Some pies come in short crust pastry or puff pastry, and some have no choice at all; check the menu. Each pie comes with chips or mash, and we also received a pot of veg and some gravy to share. There were two of us, we could have shared a pie tbh as they don't scrimp on portion size. I tasted both, and I can say that both pies, the mash, the chips, and the veg all tasted amazing. Drinks were a decent price, and by the end of our meal, we were both stuffed solid. I had a Chicken and Honey Roasted, Parsnip Pie in shortcrust pastry. The wife had Morrocon Lamb with Apricot in a puff pastry. Excellent visit, and we'll be back at some point for sure. Only mistake was a mix up in the tonic requested for a gin, but that's very minor and doesn't mar our visit. Great venue.

Bijan’s Kitchen never fails to impress! Their food has remained fantastic over the years, making it the only place that truly satisfies my cravings for Iranian food. I feel so lucky to have this lovely restaurant nearby. The owners’ kindness and warm hospitality make every visit even more special. Highly recommended!

Spontaneous date night. Popped in, on the off chance as we were staying in the hotel next door. They managed to squeeze us in (I would suggest making a booking as it was so busy) and I’m so grateful they did! Food was first class, I highly recommend the scallops. Great service, with a smile, from our lovely waitress (Ellie). The place was really busy and it had a great atmosphere. We will definitely be visiting again.

First time here today. great service and food was fantastic definitely recommend will be coming here next time when in eastleigh.

Excellent food. Staff are very friendly. Will be back for sure.

As always exquisite food, amazing service, lovely atmosphere. Cannot fault it. Will be back in January. Surely just a matter of time until the star is awarded.

We ate downstairs...always a delight to visit this place ..Great food and lovely people looking after you!!! 10 out 10...
