The best restaurants serving British food in South East

My wife and I met my sister for our annual Christmas lunch at the Waterwitch which we do every year, sometimes more than once a year. We were seated in a very good location overlooking the front car park and the service was excellent.

Nice environment pleasant staff serving but food almost inedible. We were first to be seated yet waited 1 1/2 for main course. The trout and braised beef were dry and almost inedible and we should have sent them back but we were all so hungry by this point. You can’t serve dishes like this for £23 which are worse than school dinners. The fire alarm also kept going off which made it difficult to talk. The staff serving the tables did a good job under difficult circumstances. We regret paying for the food and won’t be returning.

Would have been nice of the company to state that they are closed on their website. It would have saved me a wasted journey to find the building shut down.

Perfect spot for a chill drink! Staff members are fantastic and lovely! Bekah and Jaz are amazing and never fail to amaze me! Food is perfect as always and the drink choices are top notch

We were a party of 40, holding a wake for my father, in an area that provided a private space, without being 'cut off' from the main body of the pub. Dimitri and his team (including Chris, Matt and chef Atila) were brilliant in both planning the event and providing excellent food and service on the day. They took orders once everyone had arrived (we had agreed a tailored 2 course menu which was great value) and presented it efficiently and attentively, ensuring that everyone had everything they needed, including drinks orders. Many thanks for making a difficult day easier for everyone and helping to create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Wow i am glad they are back open now in the mornings and evening. They do an amazing breakfast as it cooked to order . And the staff are amazing and always helpful

Always a great stop for drinks and nibbles with friends. Visited a couple of times since June, can sometimes be very understaffed but the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly - the gentleman in uniform I believe Jordan ?attentive, funny with a hard working team. Will definitely be coming back in the New year for another scotch egg (the best recommendation )

Great looking place, fantastic staff. Came with family for Sunday Lunch. Had to take a photo of menu . Different but fun. Starters, soup is a must. THE DRAGON ROAST. Make sure you can swim. The whole meal is just smothered in Gravy . Very salty gravy as well. Totally ruined the complete meal. It’s the same on the Beef meal as well. I think what’s most annoying is the Manager could see we were not happy with it and just pushed his young staff over to try and deal with it. Still paid the complete Bill but will never being going back. Food with Potential, Great Staff , Poor leadership.

Stood at the bar and totally ignored by the bar staff. Waited over 15 mins and not acknowledged once. Made to feel very uncomfortable so left and spent our money elsewhere. We own a holiday home on the IOW and will not return to this unfriendly pub

We arrived at 2:20 PM on Saturday to find a pub. It was very cold, so we had to eat with our coats on. The service was slow and the food was only warm

We walked in for breakfast not hotel guests. Paula served us and could not have been more helpful, very polite, pleasant attitude and very attentive to my Grandson who even said how nice she was. Nothing was too much trouble, food was good as usual, thank you

Best lunch in a pub for years. Service was very good, friendly and helpful. Food was cooked fresh with no microwaves used. Shame I don't live in Kent to visit more often.

Our preferred city centre coffee shop, obviously it's a chain so not a million miles from other Costa cafes, however the staff at the didcot one are particularly excellent, friendly and chatty even when it's busy.

Called in whilst on way home from holiday, service, food and menu were all good, food was well cooked, overall a great experience.

This hollington store has gone downhill over last few years!...rude dot-com personal shoppers give you dirty looks if you happen to be shopping where they want to shop...if there's a small gap where only one trolley will fit through they're look at you while tapping they're foot and huffing & puffing, they really make you feel uncomfortable! I asked a female dot-com shopper where something was that I couldn't find, and she said "same place as it's always been, isle 4" I couldn't believe her attitude, I was shocked and just walked away. Cars and vans seem to park wherever they want too in the carpark..in family spaces with no family & in disabled spaces when they're not disabled, no staff, security or any other tesco employees do anything about it!....people even park in the pickup and dropoff lay-by and go in to do they're shopping 🤦 We now shop at Asda, where the staff seem to all be polite, courteous and happy to help customers...just like tesco staff are trained to do!
