The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Since I moved back to the area I wanted a place to eat, drink and have the less busier side of Crowborough. This is the perfect place. The staff Natalie,Oscar, and others are so very welcoming and friendly it has become a place I look forward to visiting weekly. Alone or with friends I definitely recommend this lovely place!

Visited on a Friday morning and was struck by the friendliness of the team. Great location with lovely view across countryside.

Two nights running had to wait over 1.5 hours for the food to be served at the table, it was not busy & everyone else seemed to get there food if they were more than one person in they party, they were alright to serve you drinks, the prices at this restaurant are out of this world compared to others, the food is cooked to a good degree but you can get better in a ordinary pub.

Absolutely useless. I write this review, some 25mins into my wait. I came in, asked for a fairly mundane order, which you'd expect a reasonable Fish & Chip shop to be able to handle in 5/10 mins max. Oh no, this is no reasonable Fish & Chip shop... This is below par, the staff are downright rude and dismissed my questions when asking how much longer it's likely to take? Do yourself a favour and don't waste your time. I wish I'd read the reviews before I ordered.

Been going here for years, good food ,prices have gone up a bit but good portion sizes n nice fresh food 😋 if in sittingbourne it's the best place to get proper food Inc roast dinner, highly recommended 👍

Very well positioned, it is a nice place to stop for a meal and to admire the views. Food is good, but is not cheap and service can be hit and miss depending on how busy they are, but overall pleasant. Toilets were clean and they do accommodate children pretty well.

Cafe is very basic so adjust your expectations. I dropped in for tea whilst leaving my car to be washed by the staff. Appalling job leaving the car with filthy smears on the paintwork and obviously poorly wiped down at the end with so much missed. The tea was watery and they used full fat milk despite me saying I didn’t want that so tasted nothing like tea. Questionable hygiene in evidence so I avoided ordering food. Cannot recommend so avoid the cafe and car wash as they’re part of the same organisation.

Reading the previous comments they must have been to a different place to me. The food what there was was terrible. We dined on two occasions in a evening about 6.45 pm and the majority of the items were not available . What was served was absolutely nothing like any of the pictures on this website.where you say English food the only thing was fish and chips which they only had one portion. The real reason people did not have sweets they were unavailable.

Saw the Illegal Eagles, great venue with very lovely staff. Quick entrance into venue and a great atmosphere. Would go again

Took a chance that there would be a table at hilltop today. Sat inside and was told by the waitress that the table was not booked today. She couldn’t be more helpful. Tasty sausage roll, although this was the only savoury at the counter. Lovely and peaceful, beautiful view. Tom, part of the front of house team put on the music - much louder inside where the speakers were. On asking the music was turned down, but as we finished our meal, he turned it up again. He also seated someone at the same table even though there was another not booked for lunch. My mother went to the counter to place an order and like other comments already posted, there was no acknowledgement or reassurance she would be served. She gave up. I went in a her place and was given two cinnamon rolls for the price of one. Was this an unspoken acknowledgement that she should have been served. Was appreciated. Still had a nice time, but front of house perhaps too busy or need to consider all guests and not just those they know by name.

Staff that have worked hard yet under pressure... just to make money for a owner that doesn't care. Very sad

Lovely bright doggie friendly cafe - really good value with a toasted sandwich /French fries or salad meal-deal and a hot drink for £7.50. Great relaxed atmosphere and friendly service 😊

Food was delicious, the sauce that comes with the sea bass was amazing. And they substituted the House salad for the Caesar salad without complaint which I really appreciate. But it took over an hour to get any food to me from when I ordered to when I was served, and midweek that is bad. They apologised for it which is good, but I can't ignore how long service took. On the bright side they let me in despite being dressed as a hobo, so they don't discriminate.

Henry’s Play Cafe is so much fun for the younger children. The staff are friendly and the children can play freely in a Calm and clean enviroment. The cafe is a great addition for parents too.
