The best restaurants serving British food in South East

I have visited here 3 times now and every time the service and food was excellent. It’s a beautiful pub with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Would highly recommend and can’t wait ti visit again.

Not one clean plate out of 7 all had dried food at the bottom. The lady changed my plate it was just as bad. We had a long day travelling otherwise I would of had a refund and walked out. The top was clean!

I live not far away but never been before. Friend suggested it so why not? As we weren’t terribly hungry we chose quite simple basic meals, and were both happy with our food. Ive now found another venue to visit for a bite to eat and will definitely return.

Spirit to serve first class Food/Kitchen first class This Fullers tops even my local Fullers … a lot to learn from these guys !! Unbelievably warm and welcoming ! Wine well worth the money Faggots piping hot and utterly delicious (fried sage leaves topped it literally !! ) There’s so much more I could say without wishing to sound gushing … other than ‘beyond impressive’!!! Take a bow 🙌

Daniel was really helpful and great guy that looked after us very well. The food was first class and the prices Very realistic Fred Finn world's most traveled person Guinness World Records 718 flights in Concorde 15 million miles

El Wolvercote en Oxford se está convirtiendo rápidamente en un lugar de visita obligada, y no pasará mucho tiempo antes de que eclipse a los viejos Jacobs. Desde el momento en que entras, el servicio es inmediato. El filete aquí es brillante – cocinado perfectamente a su gusto, con patatas fritas crujientes y sabrosos aros de cebolla que acaba de dar en el blanco. Es uno de los mejores filetes que encontrarás en Oxford, manos abajo. Lo que realmente hace que el lugar se destaque es el servicio. Kayleigh y Michael son increíbles – son súper amables, bien informados, y realmente asegúrese de que se sienta atendido. También conocen sus cosas cuando se trata de alérgenos, lo que es una gran ventaja para cualquier persona con restricciones dietéticas. Entre la deliciosa comida y el servicio de primera categoría, The Wolvercote definitivamente va a lugares. Si estás buscando buena comida y un todo - alrededor de gran ambiente, este lugar debe estar en la parte superior de su lista.

Popped in for a spot of lunch with my family no frills but you know what you are getting in this type of restaurant . Will come again

We booked a table, for the festive menu. When we arrived the team where very organised and helpful and everything ran very smoothly. Food was good and very well priced. Would recommend

April was an amazing server, she was welcoming and had a very cheerful personality. The food was great and drinks were a plenty. Happy New years The Windmill The Oakley Fanily

10 of us pre booked our annual Christmas get together here. I emailed over the list of people’s choices to give them a heads up. The waiter was very good going through the list and everyone got what they ordered. I ordered Prawn cocktail but as I was previously a chef I know how things are prepared. The prawns were very small and completely tasteless as they were defrosted by running under cold water, not strained properly so when served in the dish there was water at the bottom. Bread roll provided but no butter. Now we come to the Christmas dinner Turkey covered in gravy, 1 very small pigs in blanket, 1 Yorkshire pudding, 1 stuffing ball, pre frozen roast potatoes, dried up peas and burnt carrots. All played and brought to the table…. Cold. Sent it back and received another that was warm but not hot. Well over a hour later along came pudding but you can’t really go wrong with them so no complaints there. We left after finishing, paid the bill, tipped the waiter as the restaurant closed. I was thoroughly disappointed with the food and wished we had chosen just off the normal menu. If I was paying the Christmas Day prices and was served what we had tonight I would be very worried. Such a shame that chefs, cooks or whatever they want to be called can’t take pride in the work.

Had a desire for spare ribs for a birthday lunch and so googled "best ribs near me" and the Shinfield Arms was top of the list. A reservation was made and a confirmation email was received which was appreciated. We arrived and were shown to our where the menus were perused. Our drinks orders were taken as well as selections from the bountiful menu (a full offering of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes is also available from the menu) from staff members Sam and Darren whilst the day's specials were explained to us by the pleasant maître' d' , Victor. Garlic pizza bread with garlic and herb dip was a great start to the main course and was full of flavour. Mains followed shortly afterwards and the ribs lived up to their reputation! They were tender, tasty with oodles of barbecue sauce - absolutely divine! Slightly larger portions of chips and coleslaw would have been nice as they did not last partircularly long. Other items ordered were the pan-fried calves liver and bacon, the bacon double cheese burger, a prawn cocktail and chicken goujons and chips for the youngest diner which are all applauded. Dessert was graciously declined but a number of tasty dishes were available. Our glasses were kept charged during the entire meal by the attentive staff. A thoroughly enjoyable outing to the Shinfield Arms was had by all and kudos to Darren and Sam for their splendid service. A return visit will definitely be on the cards!

Really lovely village pub with a great menu and the mocktails and food were excellent. We really enjoyed our lunch and I've already recommended to friends. Fabuous cheese souffle and mushroom tartine - great for vegetarians! Thank you.

Good value for money, nice food, decent staff. Friendly and easy going atmosphere

Went for a sunday roast around 15:30 and it was nice and quiet. Good experience, lovely staff - (Thank you to Vicky and Lennon). Everyone was accommodating and we enjoyed the experience overall.

Had a better greeting from the bar staff on our way through then from restaurant front of house, restaurant looks very pretty, the service was just very average/poor, hardly saw anyone and it was not busy, one of party choked on a started and no one came to aid or to check after if all ok, just a very bizarre experience? Literally zero customer service, staff clearly unhappy, food average but overpriced. No atmosphere in the place at all, when they opened up the middle doors it was like sitting outside and freezing cold. Just not sure what they are trying to achieve here? This is not a la carte, fine dining it’s gastro pub, otherwise you need to step up a lot! I gave 3 because there was a lady serving from kitchen to table who was lovely, other than that it was like being served by robots.
