The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Absolutely adore Southsea Coffee. In my view, the best in town. We've been visiting regularly since day one despite now living 150 miles away! My favourite smashed avocado with poached eggs and bacon is as good, if not better, than ever. The coffee is expertly made and served at the correct temperature and not in a huge bucket of a cup. The pastries are incredible too. I've yet to get to one of their supper clubs, but they must also be amazing. Please visit!

Lovely place, great selection of beers on offer on cask, keg, and in the fridge, decent hotdogs and friendly staff. Can happily spend lots of time working your way through all they have available!

Lovely country pub amazing food portions great settings friendly staff

Nice cafe with friendly staff. Very much hearty meals for the hungry.

Been here several times over the last 5 years when camping near Charlbury. Food and service are always excellent with a good section of beers and real ales. Usually call in for a light lunch, sandwich etc but have also had an evening meal. This time it was the prawn sandwich, posh fish finger sandwich (fillet if fish in tempura batter) and chips. Lovely traditional English pub. Nothing to fault.

The atmosphere was so good and the team who looked after us were delightfully friendly. We had fish which was superb! The wine was top just right and reasonable.

The service was amazing, the people were knowledgeable, friendly and just made you feel amazingly welcome. Food was excellent, my favourite was the lamb and the fruity dessert. Wine tasting also went brilliantly with the food as you would hope, my favourite was the last wine which was a dessert wine.. which given I don't have a sweet tooth but my top picks include desserts and dessert wines tells you a lot. They also took note that it was our anniversary and a few little extra touches was just amazing Would recommend, great food and service that makes you feel welcome and looked after like a star..

Lovely meal for party of six celebrating my Birthday. Great food from set and standard menus, great service and atmosphere. They even put a lovely banner up and gave me a cheekily little bottle of bubbles to takeaway. We’ll be back

Lovely cafe and staff. Food is topp notch too. A real gem.

Although a little on the pricey side, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. We recommend sitting in the outside area where on a sunny day they retract the roof. We've visited on a few occasions and always had a lovely experience.

In regard to the food and presentation this restaurant takes pride of place for us in the Worthing area. I had the fillet of beef, absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection. The service and genial banter with our hosts added to the charm of this delightful restaurant. We were lucky to get the window seat too. If there is a negative we would suggest there is a lack of "romantic" ambience, with quite bright lighting but if "fine dining" is the object of your desire, well look no further.

Genuinely some of the best food I've ever had - the salmon pasty was made of the flakiest, butteriest pastry I've ever eaten, filled with a generous amount of salmon and a lovely creamy sauce (dill I think?). Crab pasties looked lovely - I didn't have one, but those I was with did and said they were incredible, looked lovely even to me as someone who doesn't like seafood very much! Seating is limited but has a nice view of Steephill Cove, although you could also probably just leave and find a pretty spot to sit/.

The fish was fresh and crispy. The beef burger though was dry and did not have a salad, tomato or even a gherkin.

So rare to get a good place to eat in Reading but this place is lovely, food is tasty. Staff were really good and so helpful and friendly. The interior decor is very nice and rustic, lovely atmosphere. Top marks to all at The Shed, keep doing what you're going.

Always a treat grabbing lunch here. The staff are charming and the portions generous and tasty. The "Three Little Pigs" bap is a MUST.
