The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Matt always pours me the perfect pint, Jess ain’t too bad either :)

Why would they choose a business partner that charges their customers £60 with the threat of £100? So disappointed with this venue which is well-placed for family from different directions to get-together. Visited twice: on Mothers’s Day and then the following week. More fool me - the Parking Fine was in the post. No point saying that you upload your car details at the Bar when it’s table service, is it? Second time was an awful experience. Long wait for food. Half of the table received a lukewarm Main Course - two people had finished theirs before the last one was served. Had Pulled Pork and got the squits. Plenty of other venues nearby, so - Not going back there again.

Staff excellent, food is microwaved but good value, and drinks are reasonably priced

Great food & service, inexpensive and a good setting. Staff were lovely & knew the menu well to make recommendations. We will return on future airport visits

Excellent food...superb service from Camila ...highly recommended !! We are also staying here and the rom is superb...no faults at all !!

Fantastic food and service! Lovely evening in a comfortable pub with great company and staff! Hannah was awesome 😀 Thank you!

For a cheap and cheerful dinner out it is difficult to knock this place. Gourmet it is not but that does not mean bad food. What we had was nice enough and satisfied the family , even the gluten free member. The menu selection was quite wide so there were choices for every one

Stopped here on our way to Hayling Island - we don't usually stop but Easter Friday traffic had been quite bad. Standard Fullers pub menu , we sat in the bar area and ordered from the sandwich lunch menu, Fish Finger sandwich and Sausage baguette, both came with fries and portions were generous. Food was good, service quick. There is a nice big outside area if weather permits.

We had a wonderful time at the Windmill Brewers Fayre in Hastings! Despite not having a booking, we were seated within about ten minutes – a lovely surprise on a busy day. The staff were fantastic from start to finish, especially our server April, who was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, we didn’t catch the name of the other server, but they were equally lovely. Our food was absolutely delicious and arrived hot and fresh, well worth the 45-minute wait. The three-course meals were excellent value – we paid just £33 for one adult and two children, and we were all full and happy by the end. The kids also had plenty of time to enjoy the play area, which gave the grown-ups a chance to relax. The entire atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfect for families. We’ll definitely be returning – highly recommended! --- Would you like this tailored for a TripAdvisor or Google review format?

Nice friendly pub where we had lunch, very reasonable price and tasty.The staff are very friendly and helpful and very dog friendly. They supplied water and treats for our dog and made a big fuss of him.

Such a curate's egg. (This has been my experience here before.) The pie and mash, roast carrots, greens, gravy: this was all delicious. Really good pub grub: good value, good taste; very nice. The thai veggie currie by contrast was terrible: rice undercooked, tiny portion of veggie curry which was anyway unpalatable, a desultory piece of flatbread. (My partner and I would have been gutted if we'd somehow accidentally cooked something so bad as this curry at home.) Because it was so unsatisfying to eat the curry, I then ordered a 'starter' of chicken tenders and chunky chips. The chips were delicious. The tenders, three meh pieces of chicken in dry crumbs, surrounded by a swirl of bbq sauce and raw chilli and spring onions. I would go here again, but be careful about what I ordered - probably sticking to the burgers and pies. Oh, there was one young woman on the bar, and she was also waiting the tables; she forgot that it was I who had ordered the starter so we didn't get it for a while. In the past, though, the staffing levels have been fine. Clearly a pub trying to find its way, sometimes getting it right, sometimes failing.

As usual the carvery included a varied selection of meats and vegetables. Sue our waitress looked after us very well as did the meat carvery. Good value for money

I don’t normally make reviews like this in fact i didn’t initially want to however i feel like i must be honest and sincere My mate and i came to this pub last night on the 15th of April 2025 initially to watch the champions league football match we ordered pints and watched the game when suddenly from behind one of staff members who was holding at least 4 beers on a tray dropped it right on me and my mate making the glass explode all other the floor and me and my mate soaked i understand that these frustrating incidents happen but what shocked me and my friend the most was that the lady did not even apologise to us instead it had to be another member of staff who was a witness apologised on behalf of the other girl this was not it as later that night a very small bottle that i had purchased in a corner shop earlier that night that i did not consume at the pub because i am aware it is disrespectful and not permitted so we had consumed a quarter of it beforehand and outside the pub i did not have a bag to put it in so instead i left it on the floor below the table bare in mind that i had not consumed alcohol at the pub which did not come from the pub as i went to the toilet they took it away from me they refused to give it back to me and they proceeded to put it in the bin in front of me i know i should not have resisted even though i tried to stay calm and composed the staff rudely kicked me out and the lady even got 2 male staff members to chase me out all i wanted was my bottle back i had spent 18.99 at the shop for it i was not going to put it in the bin so i took the risk i understand it’s youre policy but the staff didn’t have to react in that manner i wouldn’t say that i would not recommend this place because the location is nice and so is the decoration. Additionally it has got good football tv quality but it’s a shame that the staff were acting so rudely in fact i’m pretty sure that because me and my mate are young 18 year olds the staff treated us with less respect as they would normally do to other customers and made us feel less welcome in some way i talked about it with my mate and he agreed about the feeling of discrimination as they were giving a “ go home little boys " type of vibe in conclusion not satisfied at all 70 pounds worth of clothes ruined for both me and my friend not an apology a 20 quid bottle gone and being chased out in a aggressive way after we bought 2 pints each from the pub not good enough we tried to remain tranquil and polite all night

Lovely friendly pub with restaurant and rooms. We had Bluebell room, nice big bed with tea, coffee, fridge for milk and water. Big shower bathroom (water pressure amazing!). View over pub garden to fields, has a little terrace to sit out. Good breakfast and evening meals. Would definitely stay again.

The food was really nice. The menu is limited (unless you want a pizza). Starters are refreshingly different to usual fare, mains are more mundane. Starters took a while to appear even though both were cold, although I had expected Calamari to be served hot (No indication on menu that it is a cold dish). Mains were quicker to appear and were delicious. Serving staff very good but I was disappointed to note waiter held the tines of the forks when laying table next to us. Altogether a good experience if a little expensive.
