The best restaurants serving British food in South East

This might just be my new favourite pub! The interior is GORGEOUS and they have a fantastic drinks menu. There’s so much space inside and so much space outdoors too. It was raining when we popped by and they have a lovely covered area (perfect for the smokers and vapers). We’ll definitely be back to try the food.

Pleasant pub with spacious front garden. Worth a visit.

never arrived and no communication

Visited on a Sunday morning, quiet enough at 11am, and still tables through beyond 12.30. No football being shown despite a lunchtime game, not the worst thing. Nice that they had the front windows open on a nice day for a bit of a breeze!

Chimney Burger, Macaroni and Chicken strips were delicious. Kids loved the food.

Never disappoints, fabulous roast dinners, friendly staff, it’s a really great pub!! There wasn’t any element of the roast dinner that I could’ve improved. The staff are so friendly, I wish I had a pub like this where I live!

Contacted the Hornbrook by 'phone at 7.15 last night to see if they were open and serving food. It was answered by a BOT who said they were very busy but eventually made a booking for 7.45. When we arrived the pub was almost empty and they had long stopped serving food. This was disappointing but the really poor thing was the attitude of the member of staff we spoke to who, instead of having empathy, told us it was a bank holiday and the kitchen had closed early. We were told that, apparently, the website says different hours may apply to bank holidays (we didn't communicate via the website). The strong implication was that it was our fault for not knowing any of this. It was pointed out that the BOT had taken the booking on the 'phone (which a collegaue confirmed was on the system). Asked why the 'phone BOT wasn't adjusted or switched off we were told that was all organised by head office. I spent a lifetime in customer service and if it's one thing that is guaranteed to upset a customer even more, it is lack of empathy and lack of responsibility by hiding behind the "it's all down to Head Office". I am not an irregular visitor to this pub but I think I will be taking a wide berth because of the very poor use of a BOT and the poor attitude of the staff locally, whose overiding attitude seemed to be that this was, somehow, our fault.

Came for the first time last week, your food was out of this world, absolute quality. I had one of the special pies, it was gorgeous. Really nice seating outside. Would really recommend to come here.

First the good parts. Excellent location for Mary Rose and the rest of the historic dockyards, right by Isle of white ferry and train station and spinnaker tower. On the other hand the pub only serves food at lunchtime and despite what the instructions say check in is at the Keplple Head hotel 2 doors down. The room was sparsely furnished with no reading light and a blind instead of curtains. The parking next to the B& B is only for residents of the Kepple Head Hotel and so you have to street park with a permit you buy from reception

Fabulous little find. Was looking for a place for Breakfast and found the Robin Hood. Great choice of Breakfast and lovely view. Food tasted fab and good portion sizes. Great friendly service as well. Well worth a visit.

After a 3 year long quest to find the perfect country pub roast, we finally have a winner. The beef was cooked perfectly, with lots of flavour and the vegetables were fresh and nutrient dense. Nate? served us and he was a ray of sunshine, nothing was too much and we felt very welcome. We look forward to returning soon.

Nice place. Cosy nooks for intimate drink with friends. Not too loud. Well designed. Drinks are expensive

5 stars all around. Lovely Food, nice setting & the evening was topped off a treat by the very polite and professional Kelly. Couldn't do enough for me and my mum especially with all her Greene King Question's being a fellow Greene King Employee herself. She even gave her a Map of all the Greene King Pubs / Hotels around the UK. Nothing nicer than service with a smile. Thank you.

They occasionally have a really good DJ playing there

Popped in for a couple of pints over the bank holiday weekend, great environment, beer and a fantastic atmosphere.
