The best restaurants serving British food in South East

It's such a shame this park is being run down by the local council, who do not pick litter or clean graffiti on the property.

This was not a pleasant experience. My ‘spaghetti’ with prawns and chilli arrived floating in sauce (more like a soup), the spaghetti was cut up, a spaghetti being about an inch long. There was no prawn in sight (most probably blended into the sauce). It would need a spoon to eat it. It looked like food for a toddler or out of a tin. I have never felt that I had to reject a dish but this was definitely one of those moments. I am a friendly person and I always appreciate good staff but the waitress frankly couldn’t give a dam. My husbands Wagu beef burger was burnt but he decided it was edible and didn’t complain. I was so shocked at what I had been served that I decided to skip dinner. The food is definitely a conversation topic but not in a good way.

If u wanna pay gourmet prices for wetherspoons food. This is the place for you. At least the burger I had anyway as u can see from the pics.

Waited 10 mins for somebody to appear, then ordered scrambled eggs, didn’t have any !!!! Although it has a store of hundreds of eggs, but nobody is allowed to cook, so have to wait for them to be delivered in a package - health and safety i’m told. Why or why are they not intelligent enough to put a sticker over the sign , which would have saved me 20mins out of my working day

Lovely dinner sitting on the terrace overlooking the park. Well timed and friendly service from Katie. The swordfish was delicious. Reasonable prices too.

We tried to catch afternoon tea, but were appalled by the downmarket clientele. We immediately left. Avoid at all cost.

Food was overall decent. I have 3 issues though. Firstly, you order with an app and at the time of order you need to leave a tip. Totally nuts. At this stage I hadn’t even met a member of staff, nor had any food, and yet I am supposed to be deciding on what tip to leave. I felt I had to leave a tip though (fearful that if I didn’t I may then get very bad service). Secondly, the napkins and knives and forks were very hurriedly dropped on our tables, and not given to each of us. The napkins, whilst not dirty, were clearly not fresh from the bag, as they were a bit rumpled. I’d guess that they were left over from another table and perhaps correctly determined not to be sufficiently damaged to discard. Lastly, on this app, I asked for no chilli flakes for my daughters avocado sandwich. Sure enough, it came with chilli flakes. Makes a mockery of the 10% service charge I had to pay up front, and the efficiency of the app. Please, Bardo Management, do hold off on making clients commit to service charge before they know what service they will actually receive. It’s annoying having this charge thrust on you, but to have it done prior to getting any service makes no sense (At least makes no sense to the customer; clearly it works very well for the business and staff)

Brilliant fish and chips! The quality of both the fish and the batter is great. One of the best in the area, from my experience! Chips are good too…

Car park was packed when we arrived at 10.15 on a Sunday morning. However we got served quickly and food came out in good time. We had the Turkish Eggs and the sweetcorn fritters.- very tasty - will come again

Really disappointed. Food expensive foe what it was. The house special of fish n chips, was nothing special. Whilst fish itself was good, the batter wasn't particularly crispy and size wasn't big as you'd expect. Bright lights, no candles, furniture bit dated. Staff were lovely and helpful though and after several attempts to adjust the lighting,it didn't make any difference! Dessert was limited, badic 3 choices for ice cream, and it wasn't anything tasty, bland vanilla!

Highly recommend fajitas friday & takeaway cocktails pina colada & strawberry woo woo excellent service easy to order excellent value for money

We chose a full English Breakfast at the Gatehouse Cafe and a coffee each after shopping in the garden centre. The service was prompt and attentive, the coffees were of a generous cup size and lovely and hot. The breakfast was beautifully cooked to order, hot, and of great quality. It was the best cooked breakfast I’ve had out for a very long time. The waiting staff were attentive to detail.. they brought marmalade quickly when requested and also went out of their way to bag me up some coffee grounds to take away which was very kind. Pricing was about right given the current economic crisis and the quality second to none. I would particularly like to thank the lady chef in the kitchen area who prepared and cooked our breakfasts last Sunday.

The cafe is situated right behind the main historic dockyard reception area and has a great view out towards HMS Warrior and Spinniker Tower. Although there’s a large restaurant further inside the dockyard, a number of other cafes are closed due to the current Covid situation but it’s quieter here as most visitors head straight on to the dockyard attractions. Not sure about opening times as it closed for a period in the afternoon whilst we were there - not sure if it was due to staffing or some other issue?

Stopped at this cafe for lunch. Very warm and friendly welcome from all the staff. We sat at a table and ordered food at the counter. I had the tuna melt panini & chips, washed down with a great cup of tea. The panini was filled to the brim with tuna and delicious melting cheese oozing out the sides. Served nice and hot. The chips were lovely and chunky. Very reasonably priced. Toilets nice and clean - all on one level. Plenty of tables inside and out. Although this cafe advertises bike nights, you should not be deterred if you don’t have a bike. We arrived in a car. The atmosphere outside was buzzing with friendly, relaxed bikers chatting, drinking and eating, The lovely cafe is also dog friendly - so even furry customers are welcomed 😁 The cakes & cookies ladened out in the display cabinet looked amazing too. We will definitely visit again.

After a walk around Sheffield Park we went into the Coach House Tea Rooms for some drinks and a snack.- A limited Choice Both of which were Okay, but nothing more and a little overpriced but it served our purpose
