The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Came here for breakfast this morning. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. The full English breakfast though was over priced and very disappointing. I was told they were having maintenance work in the kitchen so was told food will be served on bamboo plate and tea will be in paper cup. I said that's fine. When it arrived all the food was piled on one plate! The scrambled egg was tasteless there was no seasoning and the sausages were grizzly (not the first time I've had breakfast there and had grizzly sausages) . The rest of it was ok but I felt like I was eating part of the bamboo plate as it came away whilst I was eating it which put me off. Would of been better with 2 paper plates. They also charged me for pot off tea when I had to have it in the take out cup. Price for 1 person was £14.50 which is absolutely ridiculous! Especially when it wasn't great. Garden centre is lovely and so are the staff I come here regularly but the cafe was a let down and very over priced!

Iain and Linda were absolutely fantastic, their service was great and they were so friendly! The food was exceptional! We only happened to find this pub as our train at three bridges had to stop and they closed the station, the snooty fox was just across the road and we decided to try one of their lunch time deals of honey halloumi in ciabatta with chips and we did not regret it! I would stop in three bridges again just to visit this pub! Thanks for the great food and friendly service! 😊

The service was great but a little slow, they were very accommodating to our wishes, but forgot a couple of things. The Sunday roast was a disappointment, it was lukewarm and a bit bland, not well cooked at all, definitely felt like the last few potatoes that had been sat out all day… overall nice people and lovely area but poor food.

Fabulous as ever. We were a party of 11 for Sunday lunch, celebrating a family birthday, we had a very enjoyable meal. Great value for money menu and friendly welcome and service. Book a table!

Planning permission was eventually received for conversion of the pub into residential units - and work has now commenced on the car park. A great pity - as this pub has played a large part in the lives of the local Reigate Hill community for many decades, and now has gone forever.

We went for Sunday lunch, the second time in four weeks. The food was delicious, well cooked and served in a timely manner. Staff were friendly and polite.

Had a beautiful roast in the crown today. In the area for a gathering of friends and visited every day we were here. New manager is amazing and very welcoming, catered to all needs. We will definitely be back if we visit the area again.

Meal was OK - ham, egg & chips but 35min wait with no explanation until 2mins before it was brought out- not ideal £4.75 for half Fosters lager shandy - ripoff 🤬☹️

Fantastic week's stay at this hotel. Beautiful outlook over the solent and gorgeous sunsets. Rooms were lovely, comfy beds and good amenities We did intend to go out each evening for a meal but the food was so good and by the time we returned from our days out, we ate here every night. Good entertainment on Monday and Tuesday nights, Nathan organised both and they were very well done and great fun. Would highly recommend. Liam did ask for constructive criticism and the only thing I would say is WRITE THINGS DOWN, he'll know what I mean

We went for Sunday lunch - great food and excellent service! Very pleasing inside and outside; Plenty of parking space. Would definitely go back!

With regret, I so agree with Paul, August 2024. We have been coming here for years, throughout the seasons, and have always enjoyed everything about the place. Location, staff, food, drink, fellow guests, general ambience, but not last weekend Didn’t recognise any of the staff, and somehow atmosphere didn’t feel the same. Service OK, but food definitely below par - “we have a new chef “ was response when question about food was asked. That shouldn’t be the customers problem. The menu seemed much reduced, as did the portion size and general food quality, with the prices inversely proportional !! I sincerely hope this was just a blip, as we want to continue coming to the Jack and Jill. Haven’t read anything about change of ownership etc, so hope things will return to normal ASAP

Had a fantastic day at The Sovereigns music festival, great atmosphere on the day, great fun for all family, bouncy castle, face painting for the grand children and absolutely fabulous music. It's a great community pub, all funds raised this year for Dementia Emma's House, a lot of work gone into organising and so well done. Thanks Sovereigns for a great day, will be looking forward to next year.

Had my best ever Ploughman’s lunch here today. Scotch egg was immense. Generous with the cheese. Rosie looked after us brilliantly

The food was good and the service - BUT the toilets were dirty - not just the sanitary ware but there were cobwebs at all levels and one of pans leaked water all over the floor so trousers had to be rolled up to avoid getting them wet! The tables in the restaurant could also have done with a wipe down and the carpet didn't look as it had been hoovered in a while. Would suggest getting a cleaner and then more people would return. I'm afraid we won't be, for a while at least.

Lovely fish and chips and pint of Guinness. Great value here and staff are always courteous and prompt. The clientele are diverse and everyone seems to get along, just fine!
