The best restaurants serving British food in South East

What has happened to M&S cafe in High Wycombe.Tables not cleared..untidy staff..a general look of not kept clean enough.We ordered Toasties and tea.Tea given at the till..then the long wait for the toasties,which was 25 minutes. Credit to the young man heating toasties etc,who worked pretty fast.He puts them down for staff .to deliver to tables,but ,oh dear they just sit there.I went to collect ours ,or we would have waited longer.Of course by then we had finished the tea! How sad to see how downhill this cafe has gone.I think today was the last time I will visit.

Overpriced, soggy batter, not that clean, eddy to park outside, office licence next door. Sadly world not come back.

We were staying nearby, and called in here for a couple of breakfasts. Good value for a perfectly acceptable cooked breakfast.

Popped in for the first ever visit with a big appetite. Staff were very pleasant , premises looked clean and very presentable. Menu prices I personally thought were a bit on the high side. Opted for the breakfast burger at £9.50 to take away. Service was pretty quick, although they weren't overly busy at that time . Was served with my lunch and left eagerly with haste. On arriving back to my workplace with an empty and grumbling stomach , it was the second bite that I actually looked at what I was eating, only to find that the middle of the burger was still raw. Not for me thank you . If I had eaten in I would have been able to complain, but alas this was takeaway. So back to an afternoons work with an empty stomach it was.

Ordered meals for my children they refused to eat as said it tasted funny. The chips were rubbery and everything had an odd tatse to it

My friend threw up approximately 10 minutes after eating.

The only reason it’s got a star is because the chips were ok but was oven chips not chippy chips. I’ve never regretted ordering food soon after sitting down. The place was filthy. The floor and tables looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for a while. I tried too order a kids fish and chip, but only do kids veggie sausage or chicken nugget meals?!??? In a fish and chip shop?!??? Sat down and then the food came. Wow , my pie came cold. They took it off and I heard them say put it in the microwave?!? My wife and daughter had fish and chips, the fish when opened looked light yellow and was wet . The gravy I ordered was so thick it was inedible and had a thick skin on top. The curry sauce was full of oil and had to be stirred for a few minutes to even resemble a sauce. Sorry but I would tell people to avoid this place as it ended up costing me near on £70 for the worst meal I can remember Ps water you plants

Great snack food, excellent drinks choice, lovely view with windbreakers and outdoor heaters. We shared a Tempura Prawns and portion of chips. Quality was high, good size portions for the price. Really lovely staff.

Ordered large cod and chips. When I got home found the fish to be overcooked and dry. Even worse the chips had clearly been hanging around for a long time - barely warm and very dry and hard.

Ordered food online for collection and when I got to the shop it was closed. They still took my money from my account but never got the food. Online it still shows the shop open but I think it has closed for good because they never pick up the phone. This has never happened to me before, disgusting how this shop is run.

Given that the food within Country Market itself – the butcher, the cheese counter and the vegetables are all wonderful this could have been fabulous - However, apparently this cafe has nothing to do with country market at all. My salad (at over £7) was iceberg lettuce, 2 tasteless tomato's chopped into quarters, and about eight slices of cucumber. And the chicken was extraordinary! It had been cut into square sided wedges like chips and had clearly been cooked and then frozen. It was very cold, watery and the first couple of pieces tasted a bit like fish. Suffice it to say that I left the majority of the quite generous portion. When I ordered I was offered by the wonderful staff to have either mayonnaise or have it as coronation chicken – I suspect that was to hide the reality of the meat (if you can call it that) itself. They have no salad dressing. You can only have mayonnaise or salad cream – unless you want to put the malt vinegar they use for the chips on your salad. Olive oil does not exist and apparently they only use vegetable oil in the kitchen The redeeming feature was the coleslaw which was absolutely lovely – as were the staff. The cakes looked great and the people in there seemed quite happy with their coffee. They don't actually have a salad on the menu so I suspect they normally put the chicken in a baked potato or a sandwich but for those people who can't eat grains a salad was the only option. I was grateful that they made it for me however I think cheese might have been a safer bet! I was so stunned by how truly terrible it was that I didn't even manage to take a photograph – very remiss or you would've seen the state of the chicken! I was sorely disappointed – it was one of the worst meals I've ever eaten. I would've done better to have gone into the shop and bought an avocado, a couple of tomatoes and a piece of cheese! I know for next time!!

The Food (burgers) were cold and sent back. Service was slow but polite. How hard is it to cook and deliver a burger warm and fresh?

Cold day, door propped open. Was told to take a seat so assumed table service. After sitting for a while, I asked if I should order at the bar. Specifically asked if it was butter or margarine on the jacket potato as I have allergies to margarine. Was told both and was shown the butter which I appreciated. Specifically asked for no salad as again because of allergies. Also ordered child’s sausage and chips. After 25 minutes the kids food arrived. Sausage was burnt (was told this is how you cook Cumberland sausage). Chips were completely dry and cold. Took this back to the serving hatch. Chef apologised. Jacket potato arrived with a lump of margarine on the plate and salad. At that point I left. I can honestly say this is the worst place I have ever been served at. It’s not cheap either. Jacket 8.00 plus £2 per extra topping.
