The best restaurants serving British food in South East

No longer a pub - it was closed down months ago and has been undergoing a lot of construction work. There is local talk of it having been purchased some type of medical conglomerate.

Shockingly bad… I came here for breakfast a few weeks ago with my little one and it was delicious, so I suggested to my partner we try for dinner … what can I say…. Firstly on arrival , we were ignored for about ten mins waiting to be seated, the place wasn’t overly busy, the waiter then said oh you can just sit anywhere, if you can find a clean one. We sat down ordered our drinks and food via the app. 50 minutes later still no food ( ordered a sandwich and some tapas) I asked the waiter if our food would be coming soon, he said he would go check! He didn’t come back to let us know or apologize etc … 15 more mins and our food came … it was stone cold, and seriously overcooked…. What I couldn’t understand was the place was not busy , there was no food coming out the kitchen so how it took so long and eas so cold and overcooked I don’t not know! I would not recommend…. Seriously disappointing

Pequeño pero acogedor pub típico del campo. Encantador ambiente y alrededores, vinimos a tomar unas copas y los lugareños muy amables

Tuvimos tanto la cena como el desayuno aquí mientras nos alojamos en el Holiday Inn, parte del paquete de ofertas de comida. Buenas opciones para la cena y una buena opción para el desayuno buffet. El servicio era un poco lento en la noche, a pesar de que el restaurante era tranquilo - era un martes, así que no es el día pico para las comidas fuera. Definitivamente vale la pena lo que pagamos.

A really good spot for a great coffee. They also had local authors displaying books which was interesting.

Tenía el bistec gourmet de 10 oz costilla ojo no bueno muy masticable y sobre cocinado enviado de vuelta y volvió todavía sobre cocinado, así que no feliz, pero el miembro del equipo nos ofreció una bebida gratis en la casa que era agradable de ellos, la comida en este pub es por lo general 100% es por eso que comemos aquí regularmente

Food is good but not the cheapest.Very expensive for garden centre cafe. But worst of all is the service. There is always a long slow que.As management do they not have the intelligence to address this problem which has been ongoing for at least 18months or more.It is so obvious to see that either the staff need sorting or the barrister or both.

We visited today (19 Nov) for the £1 pensioners special and guess what - no soup until the 22 November! Soup hadn't been available for the three days previous. Thought Asda was a supermarket, obviously not if they don't sell soup!

This is about prats that park outside the pub it's dangerous and should be stopped if you don't know why then you are stupid

This cafe is great for coffee and the staff are Superbe. I was there on a morning where they had a short book reading by local authors which was interesting. Good atmosphere and great space.

The hotel was as expected. Our main is was the bar/restaurant area, after returning from a family funeral, we stopped for drinks with family. It was absolutely freezing, paying £30 for 4 drinks and sat in our coats! The area was also so brightly lit it was uncomfortable.

Modern bright café with a good ambience and obviously plenty to look at. Twinnings Earl Grey and a nice Granola bar. No complaints.

Sadly we won't return and only visited this time because a family member assured us they'd upped their game. The restaurant offered very few cakes and we're uninspiring in their display. My husband picked up a tray and upon arriving at the till the waitress asked what he wanted. He asked for two scones and she simply said 'tray'. He was unsure what she meant so showed he had picked up a tray. She held her hands out across the counter to which he guessed she meant for him to hand it to her. She made no effort to stretch herself indicating he needed to lean further over towards her. She then rested the tray on the staff side and paid out scones and drinks, then handing it back to my husband. She was rude and unhelpful. It would make more sense to have the trays on the staff side of the counter! The tables in the restaurant were festooned with dirty cutlery and customers were clearing spaces to eat themselves. The chairs, conservatory style, could do with a deep clean. I guess as it's the only garden centre in the area they don't feel it necessary to try very hard. We won't go back.

Good place with efficient staff and value for money range of food. Popular with many to simply have coffee, cake and natter with friends. Lunches are pleasant too. On edge of popular garden centre. Nothing to fault.

We came here for lunch on a Saturday. Food was okay but lots of mistakes with our order. Hash browns were missing from the all day veggie breakfast, toast was burnt in 2 dishes and had to be sent back…where’s the quality control??? They also ran out of kids menus. How does this happen? Staff need to learn to smile and come across as pleasant…several waiters looked like they were being punished to work there. One waiter in particular was seen rolling up his cigarettes for everyone in the restaurant to see. Not a good look and not something I want my children to be witnessing… Would say it was an average visit. I much prefer other franchises where we have had better experiences…!
