The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Had Sunday lunch with friends. Food was excellent, service was great. Very friendly staff, would definitely go back here again.

This is a lovely old pub with a probably 1980/90s hotel extension on the side. Friendly reception and waiting staff. Fairly minimalist old school breakfast although my eggs Benedict (oddly with bacon rather than ham) was tasty and well cooked. I didn’t eat in the restaurant so can’t really comment. The public rooms are older worlde characterful but the general feel of the bedrooms is dated (stained dark wood, chipped furniture, not enough power points, poorly sealing windows, particularly a problem if you are facing the A34 trunk road). Attempts have been made to update (nice bed throws and a capsule coffee machine in the rooms) but it can’t hide the reality. The place needs investment to gut it and bring up to date. Perfectly usable but not a “destination” or up to international standards.

The worst place we have ever stayed. Rooms were filthy - we had to move rooms because our shower did not work and looked like it was about 50 years old! Nothing felt clean in the room. The cracks in the walls were taped up and painted over. Breakfast was very standard, porridge pots from Tesco!! Couldn’t wait to leave in the morning! Please don’t waste your money and stay here! We have requested a refund but no-one ever comes back to us!

There were 6 of us and all elderly and very cold. The log fire not lit and radiator next to us cold. We had warm clothes on. Disappointed but food ok.

We made a special trip to discover this pub and were very excited. En route we took our dogs for a walk and when we arrived, we were told that dogs were not allowed in. The pub is warm and cosy but we could not come in. We decided to find a table on the patio (it was cold and rainy) and sat in our coats ordering a quick snack rather than a long Sunday lunch that we were hoping for. We were unable to experience the atmosphere of the pub or any hospitality as no one came to speak to us, just came out to deliver the food. A real disappointment. It is very rare to find an unfriendly dog pub these days.

Well, it all started when we came to the front door and the bar man was so unwelcoming he may as well of told us to leave before we entered. To say the least it was a disappointment. However the bar ladies was very nice. What a shame the barman’s unwelcoming behaviour overshadowed the bar lady wonderful customer service. It would a much better pub with out him in my opinion.

We have been to this pub before, and promised ourselves we would come back to eat. It was worth the wait! We had a delicious Sunday roast at The Plough. The portions are very generous, and the team are great! And to top it off, it's a dog-friendly pub. We will be back again - next time after a bit of a walk to make more room for lunch 😋

There for a few beers and stepped out into the smoking area, when I tried to get back had been told that the manager had pointed out 4 people who they didn’t want back in, and I was one of them. No explanation why, I’d literally just chatted to the other people outside for the first time and had only had 1 beer. Anyway, avoid. I suspect they don’t want customers of certain demography which was very much the impression the bouncer gave when I asked him why weren’t allowed in. Beer is overpriced here too.

We took friends out for lunch on our first visit and although the pub was clean the food was very very disappointing for the price. Will not be going back!

Such a beautiful pub so quirky. Amazing staff made us feel so very welcome. The food was outstanding! All freshly made and home cooked. Will 💯 be going back and highly recommended.

We felt so welcome and taken care of! Such a cozy pub in a gorgeous location and lovely surroundings. They have an extensive beer list and it's such a good pit stop if you are in the area!

Reservamos la sala de actos de arriba para mi fiesta de cumpleaños 60. Qué fabuloso hallazgo, todo el personal muy servicial y amable, no podía hacer lo suficiente por nosotros. Casi no tenía el catering de la mesa de pastoreo, pero me alegré de haberlo hecho. Fue increíble, excelente elección de comida fresca sabrosa todo muy bien presentado. Toda la noche fue memorable, tuvimos un cabaret Elvis, muy divertido. Nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a todo el personal por hacer que mi fiesta funcione.

Great little pub and service was ok, reason for 1 star is that the juke box is not playing in the pub, paid £5 for 15 song that was showing on the juke box main screen but not playing though the pub . Why even have a juke box ??

There were 5 of us, all friends. We had different meals. The food we thought was average. They do not do French Fries - what a shame. The service was excellent. Pity on emeal was forgotten and had to remind staff. That should not happen.

Right so me and my sister went for drinks on Christmas Eve and there were this group of boys making inappropriate/ derogatory comments about my sister so I told them to keep there mouth shut and they did but they kept on bringing it up so I got up and left and my sister followed me out and we started having heated conversation and then one of the Owners come out and said to me specifically that’s I was barred for DEFENDING my sister when he told me that I just thought to myself this man thinks I’m bothered when there is multiple different pub in the area
