The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Haven’t been to The Plough for a while. I love that it’s cheap and cheerful and happy to partake in a breakfast for a change! John who served us was like a breath of fresh air and fully deserved a mention! Also tried my very first Bacon and Maple Syrup waffles! Delish! Unlimited tea and filtered coffee.

I used to come here 50+ years ago when it was a steak house... prawn cocktail, steak n chips, then Black Forest Gateau for about £2.50!. My oldest sister had her wedding reception in the upstair function room!!! Now a lovely pub / gastro pub. Good real ale selection. Had to have Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter. Madge had a local wine, only £11 a glass. Casta should take her home to Spain.

The pizza was not even edible. I have never tasted anything so revolting. I called to complain and the person that answered just told me the boss wasn’t there and hung up. I can see that getting a refund isn’t going to be easy either. I now have hungry kids and have had to order elsewhere. Honestly do not order from here if you want to actually eat it

I will not be ordering from you again. First of all the food turned up&i was looked like card board. You forget our milkshakes&tell us that apparently the driver had to do an emergency stop. I call you, to then speak to someone who doesn't understand me&then have the phone cut off not once but 2times. The customer service is poor. We loved ordering from here because it's the only restaurant that doesn't have poor food but from today I will not be.

Very poor service, struggled to get our table on arrival along with very poor table service from quite an abrupt young man. I ordered the mushrooms as a starter and was served some very dry toast with a few mushrooms and barely any sauce. When I asked if I could have some more sauce I was told no as it was an exact portion! The food was generally poor!

Booked for a family lunch for Easter sunday. Good service throughout. Didn't have to wait for our food. My husband doesn't eat any veg and they catered well for him giving him extra meat, pigs in blankets and stuffing. Food was hot and delicious. Good selection of wines and beers. Thoroughly recommend College Farm for a good meal.

The young man looking after us was very pleasant and efficient. Our carvery was nice but how does a restaurant serving a roast seven days a week run out of a basic ingredient at 4.30 on a Sunday afternoon. There were no parsnips at this time which surely is a basic mistake in the ordering system. As usual the ladies toilets were disgusting, wet floors in the cubicles, broken locks, dirty sinks.

Absolutely awful service. Waited a total of 19 minutes to be seated even though there were loads of empty tables. When finally seated waited another 12 minutes to be asked what we would like. Ordered two small breakfasts with 2 small coffees then waited another 14 minutes for coffees then another 17 minutes for our breakfasts by that time we finished our small coffees. As for the small breakfasts certainly NOT worth the money. They were warm NOT hot and not very nice. IN TOTAL OVER 1 HOUR FOR 2 SMALL BREAKFASTS AND 2 SMALL COFFEES RIDICULOUS. Will certainly NOT be going to this restaurant ever again. AVOID!

Excellent customer care from all staff members we encountered Rhydian was very efficient and checked back regularly to ensure everything was okay.

We had never been to The White Hart before and went with an open mind as to what to expect. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, with the food very good, and the staff very attentive. We would certainly go back again!

Travelling by train from my sleepy home village of Emsworth to the cosmopolitan city of Oxford on a very hot Saturday in April 2025 I decided to break my journey at each of the railway stations which had a J. D. Wetherspoon chain pub within easy walking distance, and call in to enjoy a bottle of cold Aspall's cider, which happens to be one of my favourite brands. The Rodboro Buildings is a large Wetherspoon pub, spread over three floors of a historic former motor car factory, on Bridge Street, between five and ten minutes on foot from Guildford railway station. For a Saturday lunchtime the establishment was surprisingly quiet, with a mainly middle-aged or elderly clientele and University students notable only by their absence. My 500 ml bottle of Aspall's Cider set me back a very reasonable GBP 3:84. There were plenty of 240 Volt, 3-Pin and 5 Volt USB electric power sockets dotted around the bar from which to recharge the battery of my laptop computer, although the ones downstairs near the former dance floor were switched off and the staff on duty didn't know how to turn them on. The men's toilets were clean and well maintained. Service was prompt, polite and efficient. The tables were cleaned regularly and the soles of my boxfresh Reebok training shoes did not adhere to the bespoke carpet when I walked across it. I never got round to trying the coffee or the tea!

Me detuve aquí un par de veces durante mi estancia en Chichester y me gustó mucho el matcha. El personal es amable y amable y las pequeñas obras de arte de Chichester en las tazas hacen que la experiencia sea extremadamente memorable.

Hace 3 horas Nuevo ERRÓNEAMENTE ACUSADO Y EXCLUIDO. He estado viniendo a este pub durante unos 30 años para comer y beber. Probablemente cada dos semanas. Fui ayer con mi hija. Estábamos reuniendo amigos para una comida. El encargado se me acercó y me dijo que no era bienvenido en el establecimiento. Me sorprendió y me preguntó por qué, dijo que miembros del personal me habían identificado como involucrado en un incidente a principios de año, bailando en la mesa y comenzando problemas y que había que llamar a la policía. Dijo que era yo o que la persona se parecía a mí, así que claramente había un elemento de duda. NO FUI YO. Pedí hablar con los miembros del personal que me identificaron y me dijeron que no. Le expliqué que no era yo y que había estado viniendo al pub durante años y de hecho estaba allí dos semanas antes y varias veces antes desde principios de año, así que ¿por qué no se me pidió que me fuera antes si era yo. ¿Por qué dejar que meses después del incidente me lo impidan? Tengo 50 años y tengo artritis y no hay manera de que me ponga a bailar en una mesa, no hay música allí para bailar de todos modos. El gerente de turno no lo tenía. Pedí ver el CCTV que dijo que no se podía ver en una semana. Dije que si llamaban a la policía seguramente tenían un nombre de la persona y podían comprobar mi identificación. Me dijo que no, que era completamente extraño y que me humillaban y acusaban de algo que no había hecho delante de mi hijo, mis amigos y sus hijos y un pub extremadamente ocupado. Fue muy molesto. Traté de explicarlo y el gerente de turno nos sacó y dijo que nos prohibieron. También se negó a dar su nombre cuando le pregunté. También había pedido bebidas y me dijo que recibiría un reembolso en 3 días. Estoy tan molesto y decepcionado de que me traten así en un pub en el que he estado durante muchos años.

Awful experience. Over an hour wait for food ( no prior warning given) Child's chips arrived covered in salt and inedible. When I complained I was told the chef seasons the chips before they leave the kitchen. I pointed out than non of the six adult meals we had ordered had salt on them, waiter just shrugged and walked off. Such a beautiful setting but the service was shocking. Won't be returning.

I came here on mother day. The place was basically fine but a little grubby. Service was very slow despite the place not being that busy. My food was fine but overpriced. I bought a lime and soda which was v expensive and there was very little lime in it, I asked for a bit more and was charged a further £1.20 for the pleasure. The scenery from the garden was lovely but overall is was overpriced and underwhelming.
