The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Lovely, friendly place. A warm welcome and great high quality homecooked and extra delicious pub food and including delicious veggie option. Can’t wait to go back when next in Rottingdean.

I am 76. If this is not the best pub meal I have ever had in all my years then I cannot recall which is ! Fantastic food, exceptional service and a great atmosphere. We shall return - and soon

This pub is currently closed down. This was not shown on trip advisor and therefore we had a completely wasted journey. Not impressed.

Lunch on a grey Thursday. Not very full, which was a pity, but the food we ordered, liver and bacon and a sausage and white beans casserole, was quickly served and both were delicious. The sticky toffee pudding was equally light and lovely. This was the first time we had visited for a long time but we’ll be back. Good home cooked food at reasonable prices is a rarity but it exists here.

A few improvements to take on board. Three vegetarians and one meat eater. Ordered two vegetarian nut roasts and it turned out to be boiled rice with nuts and berries. The roast potatoes and parsnips were lovely, the soup my husband had was lovely and the roast beef for our friend ordered was eaten without leaving a scrap. The homemade ice cream was filled with ice crystals and could not be eaten (which was a pity as it was very tasty). For thee meals, one soup and four desserts and four non alcoholic drinks the bill came to £120. The vegetarian roasts need work. I did ask the waiter if the roast vegetables had been cooked in oil and if the gravy was vegetarian and they had to return to the kitchen to ask. Not reassuring for a veggie... All in all it was good food in a quaint restaurant. The restaurant was empty on a Sunday lunch time which I did find strange. A proper veggie roast would have been nice though. A huge plus is that it is dog friendly.

Managed to pick one of the few nice days this year (so far) to have a blissful Sunday lunch in the garden. Such friendly service from all the team and another outstanding roast. Couldn’t be more helpful. Perfect way to spend a Summer’s afternoon.

We were delighted to revisit this lovely village pub under new management! Friendly service, diverse menu and delicious food! Will be going again soon

Friendly relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. We went on curry night, 3 had the vindaloo and 1 a calcutta curry. I had a Thai chicken curry which was amazing. They were served with Naan bread, rice and crunchy onion bhaji's. The price was very reasonable and the staff were very patient as we divided the bill. Would thoroughly recommend

We had our wedding meal here last year so it holds very fond memories for us. After a long walk at Hinton Ampner we decided we were in need of a good Sunday roast dinner and the King Alfred did not disappoint. I had the nut roast and my husband the roast pork, if I am going to be a bit picky it wasn't as hot as it could've been but it was delicious and the roasted beetroot was so good. Staff and service was, as always, friendly and professional. The place was buzzing so that says it all, definitely need to book.

We used to live in the village for many years and it seemed fitting to arrange our mothers wake at the pub we used to pop into for drinks or food over the years. Staff were so friendly and attentive, food was great and even had some left over! We were lucky to have amazing weather and we enjoyed all sitting outside in the garden where there was plenty of seating to seat 50 plus people. Highly recommend

Walking into the pub, the atmosphere was really friendly. All the staff seem to want to make sure you have a lovely time. The food was absolutely lovely, well cooked and tasted divine. Would highly recommend. If you need a place to stay after a heavy meal, consider the beautiful Long Crendon Manor. Only a 10 Minute walk away.

Normalmente como en este pub un domingo para un asado de domingo, pero hoy fuimos al pub. Esta vez comí pastel de pescado. Muy decepcionante. Un tazón grande de puré de papas con unos trocitos de salmón y un par de gambas. 00 Muy soso.

Back again after six months for another evening meal and it was just as good as it was last time. Well presented, delicious food served by friendly, helpful staff. My portion was just too much to finish, especially as it was followed by an equally delicious desert. Can certainly recommend.

I personally don’t rate this chippy,the food wasn’t nice at all…avoid!!!

Very quaint old fashioned pub in picturesque location. Food was great and reasonably priced. The staff were exceptional. Special shout out to Jodie and Jamie. Handled a busy period well. Also - saw a kingfisher from the bridge outside. So all round an amazing experience.
