The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Great Value for our Family Gathering 16 of us dined at The Sloop a couple of days before Christmas. Staff were really friendly and 'Liker' at the Carvery was a fun character. We were not seeking a fine dining experience, we simply wanted a space where we could together for a meal and drinks.... & The Sloop ticked those boxes.

The worst Sunday Roast I have ever been served. Raw Yorkshire puddings and beef that was so tough you couldn’t cut it. To top it all off had to wait 2.5 hrs for this pleasure

Great place to stop off for lunch, Matt and Paul were very helpful and food was lovely. Recommend the gammon steaks! Thank you

Cheap food , noisy disrespectful diners . Have to make your own hot drinks. No compromise on swapping menu items. Staff common as muck . Unclean with cobwebs and sticky tables. The oldies love it but otherwise I will be steering clear .

I allways have mixed emotions at Eastbourne Tobys. I enjoy the food and selection but it allways seems understaffed and the employees stressed. It’s not a complaint , rather an observation. This visit was no exception, they were very busy. However the staff member serving the meat was down right arrogant and rude, a complete disgrace to your company. He was bearded and tattooed with an aura of wishing he was somewhere else, we were being served and my wife said the gravy has run out . To which he replied. “Not my problem, gravy has nothing to do with me “. He may well have been right but only had to stick his head in the kitchen to advise someone. But no , I’m not sure which charm school this man graduated from but he’s a disgrace . Perhaps if he’s so unhappy in his role he should try waitressing the tables, then he would have a rude awakening. So Tobys, please learn from this . This individual seems to be more than just a training issue. If he doesn’t want his job there’s plenty that would welcome it .

My boyfriend and I came for dinner this evening and had lovely skewers, chicken parmigiana, with a side of chips and shredded chicken, would definitely recommend. Served by the lovely Erin and felt well looked after, would love to go again :)

Great place to go to and friendly service great choice of cold beers and facilities are very welcoming. Well done guys

Booked for 1 pm. 20 min wait for our drinks. Shared starter arrived at 2pm. Mains given to us before we had finished our starters. Fish and chip meals all over cooked. We won’t be visiting again. Service and food way below par!

Booked a table for 6 for Friday 7th March. Great service, great food, great atmosphere.

Gracias por la encantadora comida de cumpleaños. Buena comida y vino. Realmente me sentí bienvenido y tan contento de ver a The Wolvercote sintiéndose amado de nuevo... Te deseo lo mejor para el Año Nuevo y la reconstrucción del comercio

Great food and our waitress Sue was brilliant, so friendly and helpful. Was a pleasure to be waited on by her, would definitely return and hope she is our waitress again.

I have just enjoyed a meal at the Brewers Fayre in Hastings, whilst staying at the Premier Inn. I only had a few minutes before the carvery was finished but wanted a starter too. Emma arranged for my food (carvery) to be kept warm until I finished my starter. Emma went above and beyond; I haven’t experienced such fantastic customer service in a long time, hence writing this review. I will definitely be returning when I’m next in the area.

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

As usual the carvery was tasty, good selection of meats and vegetables and well cooked. We were looked after by all the staff, in particular Sue and Kieron who made sure we had a lovely time

Regularly come here, cheap food and great atmosphere. Today we were served by Scott - he was great! 😊 All the staff are lovely and really patient with each other, it’s great to see and makes a massive change to the atmosphere.
