The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Perfectly functional venue selling reasonable snacks (not the cheapest) but traffic seem efficient and organised. Clean and serviceable.

Large pub, good value for drinks, friendly staff. This is a place for a couple of quick drinks whilst out an about.

Sadly a poor experience for me and my husband, just wanted a hot drink and a piece of cake, husband's mocha had way too much choc powered but the worse thing was having to sit with the sound of a children's party going on, I think either you cater to the general public or for children's events, not both at same time, noise was too much and we left quite quickly :(

It is such a shame that this brilliant chef is supported by a team of people who have absolutely no idea what is going on. This was our fourth trip back. Each time we have been here since the refurbishment, the quality and flavour of the food has been amazing but each time, we have had terrible service. This was the last chance and I'm afraid we won't be going back. We put in our order for food and drink which just disappeared off the face of the earth. Our lunch wine was served before the pre–lunch drinks, had to keep looking at the staff for any sign of food to which they panicked on the realisation that we were STILL there with no meal. One of the young male waiters, who actually was on the ball, couldn't apologise enough and genuinely looked very embarrassed at the whole shambles. Credit to him, credit to chef but the rest of you, sort yourselves out! It's just not good enough.

I have always found the fish and chips from this shop very good, this evening however, it was as though I had visited a different place altogether. I ordered two medium haddock, but was surprised to see two very small pieces of fish, not what I have experienced in the past. I dread to imagine how small the small fish are. Maybe I was given small by mistake. Sadly the chips were overcooked, which added to my disappointment. So sorry to make such a negative review, but I will try there again as past experiences have been much better.

Had a very nice coffee and brekkie..altogether so much better than previous visits. Well staffed, good service and...clean.

Llegué justo antes de las 11. 30 y me apetecía un almuerzo / merienda ligero temprano. No había menús en las mesas. Después de largas esperas en colas bastante cortas, pregunté si estaban sirviendo bocadillos o similares. Dijo que no hasta mediodía. Viendo un menú de desayuno dije, ok voy a pedir algo fuera de aquí. A lo que ella dijo que dejaron de desayunar a las 11. 30 . Así que lo único que se ofrecía era pastel. Locura. Estuve aquí antes, siempre lento el servicio y caro. Mucho mejores lugares donde se puede ir en la zona.

Horrible slimy strawberries and hard red blackberry on pancakes wrong coffee latte not cappuccino, not a good experience

Having arranged to meet friends here, I was really looking forward to it and ended up being so disappointed. The selection of cakes was nothing special and the slice of chocolate cake I chose looked nicer than it tasted. Factory-made, it was dry and overly sweet (with not much actual chocolate flavour). It had clearly been on display for days and had an odd aftertaste. I ordered a latte but the barista (clearly untrained) served it with such a HUGE foam top that it ended up being a cappuccino. Not what I asked for and way too strong for me, as a result. I asked them to remedy it but all she did was add a tiny bit of milk, leaving the 3 inch foam layer intact. The only thing this cafe has going for it is free parking and a nice display of Christmas items for sale nearby in the garden centre. If you want a well-made coffee from baristas who know what they're doing and fresh (tasty) cake, I'd recommend going elsewhere.

I bought cod and chips from the Gordon chippy and ate them from a box, on a bench in the grassy area opposite the little shop. Had to wait, so they were piping hot. I really enjoyed them. At first, I thought the chips looked grotty--but it was only because they were browned. But chips don't have to be golden, and they had fresh white potato inside and lots of flavour. The cod was decent, with plenty of white flesh, in a rich batter. Friendly lady served me, old enough to remember how fish and chips should be.

Went for a big breakfast and it definitely was! Food was cooked well and, despite being fairly busy, arrived without too much of a wait. Staff were all friendly and the cafe was tidied quickly. Nice atmosphere. Good value for money, would happily visit again

Very well positioned, it is a nice place to stop for a meal and to admire the views. Food is good, but is not cheap and service can be hit and miss depending on how busy they are, but overall pleasant. Toilets were clean and they do accommodate children pretty well.

Very soggy batter and chips, nothing is cooked properly. I don’t no why I have tried here several times it just gets worse. The service is always super friendly but the way they are taught to cook food is horrid. The curry sauce is watery and lumpy. The price is also crazy for what you get. My photo is of a large chips I also had 2 battered sausage and a fish cake with curry sauce for just under £17. I hope they get a new owner/management soon. It was so much better years ago when the previous owner was there. We have been going to littlehampton to get fish and chips but couldn’t be bothered with the drive today. Wish I had now.

It was lunchtime, the cafe was nowhere near full. There were no clean mugs, the teapots definitely need a good clean/descale and then there is only one hot water/coffee machine in working order. Speaking to others in the queue the machines have been out of order for many months?!? It's not expensive but surely one should expect a decent service?

Friendly staff, good fish, but the chips were soggy / oily and tasteless (cooked to order) Chip portion size not commensurate with price either. I understand fish being pricey, but potatoes? Not the greatest overall, room for improvement.
