The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Great overnight stop restaurant. Like all London area restaurants a bit pricey. Hey ho

Sadly this pub remains closed. Some work has been done on the building but there is no indication that it will reopen soon. Best to check before travelling. The nearest pub is the Black Horse at West Tytherley which has good reviews.

It was shut when it said it was open

Outstanding first class service, absolutely nothing was too much trouble. Harry went above and beyond and we were and are really grateful especially given the reason for our stay. When needing a room in Petersfield, we have no reason not to stay here again, 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Thank you to all the staff that worked during our stay xx

Visited for the first time today, what a lovely pub! If I could rate this more than 5* I would, food was absolutely lovely, the pub was nice and clean and the staff provided excellent service. Will be returning for sure, keep it up :)

Visited on a family day out, to eat and walk along the river. Total failure here so moved to a much better location nearby. Unfriendly and unwelcoming in general.

Those of us who remember the Poet in its heyday will be disappointed at how far the place has gone downhill. For example, a few years ago, it served the best veloute soup and pork belly ever, but today's offerings are really substandard: tepid insubstantial soup, and a dry, tasteless pork belly made in a factory. with really unpleasant trimmings. Again, the service used to be genuinely friendly, but it's now supercilious and fake. For example, our waitress spilt drinks all over my guests, with only the meanest of apologies, and zero offer of compensation. I was planning on not leaving a tip, but when the credit card machine arrived (which I had to wait ages for) it mandated a £50 service charge. To cap it all, there was a small puddle of water under my chair the entire evening, making my shoes wet. God awful place now. What a pity.

Had a good experience veg pizza was good but mozzarella sticks are best avoided. Service was good thank you Natalia

Went here based on a recommendation in a paper. Sadly it did not live up to expectations. Welcome was functional not especially friendly. Where we were sat was crafty and I kept my jacket on for most of the meal. Sunday roast was average. Slightly dry and lacking seasoning chicken and soggy roast potatoes. The Yorkshire puddings however were excellent.

The smell in the bar area was horrendous you couldn’t enjoy a drink and we couldn’t get out of there quick enough! Used to be a lovely pub..

I attended a Christmas Afternoon Tea there in a larger group. The venue is beautiful with a lot of unique art pieces. Food was nice and tasty. Tea selection was good and refilled couple of times. I selected the Bottomless option but had to approach the bar several times to get another drink - that is the only part I thought could have been better.

Food intolerance now I can't buy from here but remember the egg and bacon roll. Well used . Staff look flustered but it must be hot inside the unit.

Good selection of beers. Great service .

Excellent value for money and speedy service of both food and drink. Can’t fault this spoons. Well done all.

What a gem. Food was fab, would strongly recommend prawns, cod and basque cheesecake. Was so good we’re going back. Prices are as you’d expect for a delicious meal like that. Great place for a works do.
