The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Breakfast in Winchester and The Old Gaolhouse was our destination. We were in Winchester to visit the Christmas Market and it was an absolute treat, once we'd got through the throng of Santas all dressed up and racing through the streets. The Gaol is a Wetherspoons pub and as such we knew the score... Our breakfast arrived and it was standard fair. Tepid bacon, warm baked beans, nuclear hot hash browns and barely toasted toast. It was all there. The sausage stood alone, cooked to perfection and looking all the prouder for it. A porky sergeant major, directed his under trained soldiers to go into battle. The pub was average enough to merit a visit and yet totally unremarkable.

Great place very helpful staff recommended to visit

We regularly visit here and always like to stop for food but came today and how disappointing, the menu had been changed and is VERY limited now and they no longer offer any form of dessert and have taken away all milkshakes… if you would like a burger or pizza then your fine but that’s about as far as menu stretches… I may add staff are very helpful and are working very hard… but it’s not worth the money to enter anymore as was charged £5 for entering the car park.

Haven’t been here since moving away 12 years ago. Used to like the food here. Came with my children to watch the football and have food. Ordered half way through the first half. Refused to take a 50 pound note as payment. Food eventually came during the second half. My kids chicken burgers were stone cold. Kids didn’t receive their dessert. I had to go to the bar and ask for it over an hour and a half after ordering. It eventually came after the game had finished when I wanted to leave. No apology in the slightest. Very disappointing

Our party of 5 persons came here for a late lunch recently. We had a few difficulties maneuvering my mother in her wheelchair but we found a section of this large place which we could access comfortably. Having settled in, I tried to use the Wetherspoons App to order our food and drinks. However, each person wanted something special so, in the end I gave up and went to the bar. There, a helpful "no worries" guy helped to key everything into the computer behind the bar. I went for a local pint of bitter (Firebird Heritage) and the vindaloo meal which was reasonably spicy. Everybody else enjoyed their meals which were served directly to our table. The toilets were located further and deeper into this establishment. They were acceptably clean and fully functional. All good.

Muy buena ubicación, buena relación calidad-precio. He desayunado la mitad con masa madre suficiente para mí.

Esto se ha convertido en un lugar regular para comer para mí. Como la comida es excepcional, y precios razonables. Personal amable y servicial. Además de un magnífico helado italiano - helado Los domingos tienen elección de asados, y a menudo el lunes también hay un asado en el tablero de especiales.

As with all the other Wetherspoons we have visited this was a very good place for our favourite fish and chips. We got there early so the restaurant was not crowded and the service and food were good value. We are big fans of this chain and have been to over 30 of their pubs and hotels. We needed a taxi to get back to our hotel and they kindly arranged it for us.

So disappointed in the John Lewis Restaurant in Southampton. Lack of staff and no Supervisor around like a few years ago. The only person who had a smile on her face was the lovely lady clearing the tables.

The place needs a revamp It resembles a doss house. The staff, if you can find one looks like they want to kill themselves. They had very few ales on tap, mostly out. You could only pay with cash. Probably one of the most depressing weatherspoons in the country. and I have been to the ones in Wales. Also it's full of old women who could not walk or order slower and are oblivious to the long queues behind them.

Parfait pour les petits budgets avec un grand choix de burgers, pizza et autres mais pour ce prix là n'attendez ni qualité ni quantité. 20 livres pour 3 plats et 3 boissons. personnel souriants et sympas

Awful. The restaurant 's chairs and sofas were filthy.. Even though it was quiet it took ages to be served a coffee and cake. The chocolate cake was very dry and I've had superior coffee at a fast food outlet. Stopped into the Waitrose franchise to buy a loaf of bread - some bread was dated 25th September and after waiting at the till for 10 minutes I left my purchases there. On the positive great range of outdoor plants.

When I arrived I was greeted very cordially, taken to a table, informed that my waiter would be over shortly and left. So far so good. My waiter appeared with a menu and inquiry as to my drinks order. He returned with my drink and then promptly disappeared. I heard him introduced to other prospective diners as their waiter so it looked like he was the only one. I keep seeing him making drinks at the bar, watched by what it seemed were at least another two barmen who didn't do anything to help. There seemed to be a distinct of urgency when it came to the waiter taking food orders so I drank up, went to the bar to pay for my drink and walked down the road to the Beefeater where I got something to eat.

Staff very friendly and efficient. Food nice and as expected for a hotel grill/bar/restaurant. But seriously the prices? £18.49 for an average burger and chips? These are prices you would expect to pay for a burger at a very nice restaurant not at at a restaurant at The Village. It was no wonder it was almost empty except for a load of people in fancy dress who I guess were off to a Christmas "Do" in your function room.

We drove up here from the south coast to sample the cafeteria and generally check out the lay of the land since I last worked at the Gardens back in the early 80s. It being a bitterly cold day, we didn't visit the gardens themselves. We made a bee line for the cafeteria which is nicely set out. The serving staff were pleasant enough but we were shocked by the prices. For our party of 5 having just some simple teas and hot drinks we left 22 quid at the pay desk! We looked at the prices and simply laughed at them charging 6 quid for a sausage roll. I don't mind paying for good, high quality things but we all thought that the prices here were ridiculous. Pity.
