The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Had a great lunch for three of us yesterday. The steak I had was really good for a pub offering and the others liked their fish and chips and burger. The service was excellent (well done Dillon) and we will go back again.

Beautiful pub on edge of Wokingham and nicely decorated inside with lovely clean toilets and disabled loo. Friendly efficient staff and food was excellent . Definitely be returning again. Big outdoor area with heat lamps

Slightly limited menu because the head chef was on holiday. Very friendly and helpful bar staff. Food was standard pub grub but very nice. I will go back again just because the staff were so friendly. Shout out to Morag and Camilla. Great job ladies!

There is a shop & a cafe here, both super friendly and it overlooks the railway station so you can see the trains pull in. We turned up literally 5 minutes before the last train was due in & then they close. The cafe staff were clearly cleaning everything and packing up. We asked for 3 takeaway teas and the lady served us, which i was very grateful for as we were cold and a hot drink was very welcome. I also managed to squeeze a quick purchase at the shop as well. We also saw the last train draw up which was good timing on our part. Friendly and really nice people. Thank you.

Proper British roast! Lovely staff and an open fire, bliss. Really good selection of beers, too. Right beside the beautiful park.

Four of us from out of area dropped into this pub for lunch. We sat in the garden as the weather weather was good. We ordered food and this was brought out to us. The food was tasty and well priced. When I went back in to order post lunch tea and coffee I reminded them of our table number but was told very sharply "you have to take them out yourself. We don't bring drinks out." I had to ask for a tray (4 drinks). When a lady came to clear the table I said "can I say something". She said aggressively "you can say what you want". I expressed the view that asking a customer to carry 4 hot drinks outside, including opening a heavy door, was dangerous and had I spilt some and scalded myself this would have been a problem for all concerned. This was said in a calm manner - no shouting, no bad language. She said "I'll get the manager - I don't like being spoken to like that". Another lady arrived, apparently the manager, and asked what was the problem. I told her. She said they don't have the staff to bring drinks outside. The customer must do it. This lady was scruffy, rude and totally uncompromising. She eventually said sorry through gritted teeth. I do not expect such rude and appalling treatment. Eat indoors if you want to stay safe and not be insulted.

I'm well aware you pay a premium for food at these places, but this is something else. £9 for a terrible sandwich, packet of crisps and a water. Quality of other food is alright, portions are tiny yet price is inflated. Avoid.

Visited yesterday with family.Very busy as had a Christmas event going on . Waited awhile in queue and for our food but the Macaroni was delicious and the cakes were too. Just need more staff to clear tables and serve.

Three women stood behind the counter took an age to take our order then an age to bring it out. £26 for fish chips chicken nuggets. Don’t offer take away boxes, won’t give take away bags. Disinterested, rude and ignorant. Plenty of good chippies around I would avoid this place like the plague.

Buddha bowl, not that much and rather bland, delicious "smoothie" though but all round quite pricey. Its a little dark but a window table makes it OK. Wouldn't go back!

Great local pub, friendly staff

Came for our daughter’s 18th birthday today nice cocktails made by Vicky (berry blush I recommend)! :)

This is the first time that I’ve been in the Bluebird for many years and I was pleasantly surprised. The interior is bright and the tables well spaced and the layout is much more welcoming. I had a toasted bacon and sausage sandwich which was delicious. The wholemeal bread was thick and chunky with ample filling of spicy sausage and bacon. My friend had a small breakfast which he said was equally tasty. The prices seem reasonable and the staff are pleasant so I would be more than happy to repeat the experIence.

Unexpectedly excellent meal, we had a visit arranged for a tour of a local vineyard and stoped here for lunch. When we arrived we were greeted and shown to a table having ordered our drinks. On perusing the menu I spotted one of my favourite meals, linguine with salmon and prawns. When I queried what sauce it came with the chef came to talk to us to explain how he cooked the fish in the oven in an olive oil sauce with baby tomatoes. I ordered this meal and my wife ordered a small steak with home made onion rings, and the usual mushrooms, tomatoes and chips. When the food arrived it looked amazing and my wife immediately took a photo of the food. I can only say that I was very impressed by the taste and how well it was cooked, my wife was also very pleased with her steak and onion rings. The beer was their standard bitter and was a nice clean pint. The service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. I would certainly come back for another lunch if I am in the area.

Came here with some friends on Tuesday and was kindly greeted by two of the staff. Throughout the night I thought service was great and made me want to come back for a drink another day
