The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Chose to go here with my wife as a birthday celebration with son who works locally. Good choice. Lovely table in the corner, good pub food and we were very well looked after from start to finish. Good to judge the staff anywhere when they are rushed off their feet and the attitude of the two on duty last night was first class all evening. Thank you for your efforts.

Visited Thursday 2nd Jan just for a coffee. It was fairly busy and only 2 staff serving but they were quick in taking orders.we were told there was only one coffee machine working which then stopped working when we went to use it. Spoke to staff who got someone to sort it out promptly unfortunately it still didn't do hot chocolate. Also no stirrers but after complaining we were given desert spoons to stir drinks.As the norm with all Wetherspoon's clearing of tables a tad slow. All staff should be told to pick up any empty items when they take orders out. The building is very quirky and the wooden horse is great

Great experience with nice staff, great food, good bar service and excellent service from Dave. Food was delivered promptly, the bar had a good team there when ordering drinks and a general great front of house team.

I have been visiting for the past 28 or so years - lovely quaint tearoom - decor not changed at all but this is the way I like it - lovely private garden - I always have the brown fruit scones which are lovely and their welsh rarebit is really tasty - yes its expensive but worth it - no nasties in the food!

Another great meal at Halfway Bridge! All the meals we’ve had have been fabulous - last weekend we hit the jackpot with fish pie as a special - beyond delicious with a perfect balance between creamy mash (with Parmesan, which was great!) and fresh fish mix. Great wine, great drinks, lovely atmosphere, friendly service and local pub vibes. Strongly recommended.

So we went for quick Aussie Valentines dinner on 13th ( as it was already Valentines in Oz) and one of us off to Italy next day- ci sentivami Italiani. Lovely old English building with thick walls but still great wifi we could get it across the road! We live in an old stone barn and struggle with connectivity- how do they do it ?? !!! Everything so well done. Anyway we had the ravioli- pasta was 100% like my Nonna and Mum used to make in Italy- yellow- surely pasta is best from eggs from poultry with access to chlorophyll.... grass! And the aubergine lasagne- we are not vegetarians but a good restaurant that does vegetarian well ....is a really good restaurant. Staff very friendly. Bravo tutti!

I intended to go but when I called to find they still did not have a toilet we could use I gave up in DESPAIR. I used to love going here, especially as they made such a good attempt at vegan comfort food like toad in the hole. A friend went recently...still no toilet. My Mum is 97...we are not walking with the rollator to the public toilets a good 15 min walk away.

This is a really lovely pub with friendly, seemingly attentive staff and good food. However, although the food is beautifully presented, it really lacks flavour. The goats cheese pappardelle was generous but I don't believe there was any goat cheese in it. The check back was very late - we were almost finished, and feedback was given but it seemed that the waitress wasn't really listening; she nodded but made no comment or apology and I'm sure the message never go to the kitchen. It's a shame as this pub's vegetarian and vegan offerings - on paper - were way better than any other pub I've been to. They just need to live up to expectations.

Nos dieron té de la tarde en el Randolph como regalo de algunos amigos, así que en realidad no pagamos por esto, pero me hubiera decepcionado si lo hubiéramos hecho. Habíamos pedido sentarnos en el salón, pero nos dijeron que no había otras reservas para el salón y por lo tanto tuvimos que tenerlo en el restaurante Alice, que, aunque lo suficientemente agradable, no era tan atmosférico o bien equipado. (Había mucha gente en el Salón también, así que el argumento de que "no tendría atmósfera" era ligeramente extraño. ) El servicio era lento, y por £ 79 , yo habría esperado un poco más pizzazz que cuatro sándwiches pequeños cada uno (ninguno de los cuales incluía carne asada y rábano picante) , un par de bollos y algunos pasteles pequeños. Los bollos estaban muy buenos, y se sirvieron calientes con crema coagulada encantadora y mermelada agradable. Cuatro de las variedades de té no estaban disponibles, incluyendo Darjeeling y Assam. Hemos tenido experiencias previas de té de la tarde en otros hoteles de 5 * donde nos han servido con excelentes entremeses, un servicio atento con sándwiches adicionales y recargas de té, y cajas para pasteles ofrecidos automáticamente, por lo que el Randolph parecía muy pobre en comparación.

This was by far the best Christmas meal, I have ever had. The food was piping hot and the staff were so friendly. My husband and I will definitely be going back again next year. This pub used to be one of my regulars over 30 years ago until I stopped travelling to Dorking. It has certainly kept its charm and wonderful food. Val

Very slow service, need more staff (attentive staff). Main menu is limited. Specials are limited too. Coffee machine broken!

Nunca me han decepcionado cuando llevo clientes a The George para el almuerzo. El ambiente es siempre acogedor y cómodo, por lo que es el escenario perfecto para reuniones. La comida es consistentemente genial, con un menú que ofrece algo para todos. Es uno de mis lugares favoritos: lugares para almuerzos de clientes, confiables, relajados y siempre un éxito. Nuestra camarera Sharon siempre es súper amable y nos hace sentir que nada es demasiado problema

Have used the Stonemasons for a while. Disappointed when it shut a couple of years ago. Delighted to find it under new friendly management. Had a wonderful lunch today. Plenty of well presented, lovely food. A most enjoyable experience and we will be certain to return. Keep up the good work

Such a friendly welcome and it was the best Sunday lunch we have had in a long time! Beef topside with all the trimmings. The plate was very full and so delicious.

We were celebrating a family member’s birthday & had a gorgeous meal, Each course perfection! Fantastic chef Angela & lovely bar staff💕 Thank you all !
