The best restaurants serving British food in South East

My partner and I went to the cafe on Easter Monday morning and enjoyed a tasty, well cooked breakfast with quality ingredients. All cafe staff gave us a warm and friendly service. I was even offered a kitchen plaster when a cut on my finger opened up. After breakfast we were given some help when choosing a raised bed kit by friendly staff and had a quick chat inside the store with the lovely staff member who was giving the place a good hoover! Overall we were very impressed with all aspects of our visit

We had a children's fish and chips, which was very tasty. Large enough for an light adults dinner. We would definitely go back.

We attended Christmas Day dinner with family and couldn’t have been more impressed. The hotel’s timeless Christmas decorations perfectly complemented the decor, creating a festive yet elegant atmosphere. The bar area, where we enjoyed pre-dinner drinks, was cozy and relaxing, while the restaurant itself was beautifully decorated, enhancing the holiday spirit. The traditional Christmas dinner was exceptional, the tastiest meal we’ve had on Christmas in years! The starters were delicious and beautifully presented, and the entire meal was outstanding in flavor and quality. Service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring our day was truly special. A big thank you to the team for making it such a memorable experience. We had the best time and can’t wait to return!”

The food and service were very good both in quantity and and quality. The ambiance of the place was also very pleasant. Where we felt it was lacking was in the choice as the menu selection was not that great

We went to the Bell on Sunday with our family for a Sunday roast. Warm and welcoming as it always was, new chef, so glad the pub is open again. Lovely big garden, great food and even better service.

We found Kates Cottage last year and come here every time we visit the Island. The ladies who serve are very friendly and we get a warm greeting. Our little cockapoo is also welcome. We mainly have the OAPs roast dinner which comes with a dessert included in the price. On both lunch visits last week we had roast lamb, roast potatoes, green beans, peas and carrots. The beans and carrots both freshly cooked. With our desserts and two big mugs of tea our total bill was £19 each visit which was excellent value. We have always found Kates Cottage clean and a lovely atmosphere. We look forward to seeing everyone again when we are next on the Island. We recommend as there is a good choice on the menu for everyone. My husband is a coeliac and he was catered for.

Saw an advert on Facebook for Sunday Dinner with "Kids Eat Free" so decided to take advantage, and take the family. My wife, 3 children and grandparents had a fantastic Sunday Roast and look forward to returning in the future. At £20 for 2 courses and £25 for 3 courses, the meal we enjoyed today offered exceptional value for money. Between us, we enjoyed 2 starters (both had smoked salmon), 7 main courses (4 x Roast Beef, 1 x Roast Chicken and 2 x Fish & Chips) and then x6 desserts (a selection of ice cream sundae's, chocolate brownies and cheese and biscuits). Given the quality of the food, and the service too, I would be very pleased to return on a Sunday when the kids meals are to be paid for...... it was that good. We already can't wait to return.

Llamaron a este café para un desayuno tardío. Pedimos dos tés y un sándwich de salchicha y un sándwich de tocino. Los dos tés llegaron en unos diez minutos. Luego tuvimos que esperar 25 minutos más para los dos bocadillos. El sándwich de salchicha fue lo más asqueroso que me sirvieron, cocinado en exceso sería una eufemismo. Después de haber terminado mi té, pedí otro para beber con el sándwich, pero como no tenía dinero en efectivo, tuve que quedarme sin él. Incluso le expliqué que tenía un problema de swllow y necesitaba una bebida con él. Esto fue tratado con burla y el camarero se fue.

Usually I have been very happy with the cakes and coffee here, always fresh and tasty but Saturday we purchased some doughnuts and it was obvious on first bite that they were stale, at least from the previous day. Little jam also. Disappointed

The Best Fish & Chips I’ve had in ages! The shop is spotless and service was quick ! The Fish is not too greasy and the Batter was a perfect crisp!

Not impressed. Low quality. Order came out wrong and even though I tried to call them several times they kept ignoring me.

We just love this venue. Food, setting, ambience and staff are all absolutely ace. Cannot find anything to complain about !! As I am usually the designated driver when we visit, the only improvement I might suggest to their offer is something a little more exotic in the way of non-alcoholic drinks. The alcoholic-free Chardonnay is good when it is really chilled as is the gin but I would love to be able to order a mocktail or two just to ring the changes. Would really love to see 2 or 3 on the Menu for the future. Apart from that, don't change anything. Defo the best Chicken Caesar Salad for miles !!!

We had fish and chips from holbury and dibden purlieu, last night we went to blackfield and they were the best I've tasted for a long time and value for money.

I have used this pub occasionally for years. Had some very good times there and always enjoyed the real pub feel. Unfortunately this time, wow, what a difference. I had my go to meal of gammon, it was OK and that's not what I normally say after I've eaten there. Don't know what happening but would not recommend this place based on that. My friend had prawn tagliatelle main served very poorly in a pudding bowl. Sorry that's not acceptable. Half a dozen prawns and some pasta at £18 was very poor.

My daughter and I found this cafe by accident. Here are our thoughts. 1. too small to allow dogs indoors. 2. could do with a bit of a refresh. The chair pads were stained and there were grease stains up the wall by our table. 3. toilet was very clean but on the first floor which meant climbing some very steep steps. Not disabled friendly. However my daughter who is vegetarian had a really good choice of foods and thoroughly enjoyed her meal. The young staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The coffee was delicious as was my hummus platter with Greek salad. The prices were good and I would highly recommend but I think it could be even better with a bit of a refurb. Didn't get to see the garden as it was too hot to sit outside but from the photos it looks really nice.
