The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Bagels are incredible. We will struggle without when back to the grind next week! Great location, friendly staff, served piping hot.

Lovely little spot for quick tea/coffee. The kids had bubble waffle and ice-cream. It was delicious and we enjoyed it very much. I really really enjoyed the homemade coleslaw, best I’ve ever had. The service was great and we were greeted with a smile. We will definitely be returning.

We were the first through the door on Mother's Day, looking for a light breakfast before travelling home. What a great place! Everything was exactly as it should be. The cafe was spotlessly clean. The view of the downs and the famous Tiger Inn through the large front window was exceptional. The food was fresh and great quality. The coffee was excellent. But best of all was the service. Despite it being 09:30 on a Sunday the family that owns and runs the cafe were bright and cheerful. They served us as if we were regulars with smiles and the odd joke or two. Great job all of you. In the time it took us to eat our breakfast, several other people turned up and were made equally welcome, including 2 adorable dogs. Our only regret is that we live so far away that it will be a while before we return. But return we shall whenever we are in the area. Thanks again for a great time.

Fantastic tasting & looking food! We were knocked out by the food and the service here. Waldorf salad was off the scale amazing. Hummus was Über special Beetroot crumble great roasted pepper terrific. Brownie was a sinful pleasure. Price was good too. So was the music!

Excellent iced coffee, friendly, accommodating service and a delicious meatball panini. Very reasonably priced. Will visit again.

Delicious Sunday lunch with options for vegetarian and vegan in addition to the usual Sunday roast. The starter of smoked salmon and avocado was really tasty. I had the mushroom loaf and roast which I was kindly offered as a veggie option whilst my husband had lamb with all the trimmings including cauliflower cheese. As part of the Easter special menu the bread and butter pudding was irresistible. Excellent service and very good value. Thanks to the Star team for our Easter treat.

What a treasure! Our party of seven over three generations were warmly welcomed and quickly served. Having drinks and food served to the table by train was an absolute delight and kept the children entranced. Excellent food in a truly unique setting.

Easy parking as always. Warm welcome from Tanya. We enjoyed paninis and baguettes, teas, soft drinks and iced coffee with icecream floating on top! Prices always great

Avoid! I honestly can't understand how this place has the good reviews it does I'd seriously question who wrote them or if we just got unlucky. We were greated by the most miserable waitress not the best start, ordered 2 teas and 2 toasties 31 pounds? That's fine if the food is good and of a decent quality but it's not.Oily and trying to be something it's not is the best way to put it. Definitely far better places to go.

Very pleasant small tea room, home made cakes and sandwiches. Very friendly, not expensive. Great place to stop off for food and a chat

Nos detuvimos un domingo mientras pasábamos. No estábamos planeando comer, pero el menú parecía increíble y el olor de la cocina era una locura. Teníamos una variedad de platos y todos estábamos sorprendidos por la calidad. 4 muchachos muy felices, volveremos.

My partner, dog and I love it here. A lovely cosy quirky feel and food fresh and delicious and cooked to perfection. Always friendly and welcoming. We always look forward to our visits. Thank you.

Nice quirky place with a good range of coffee, and cake very minamalist in its decor. Staff are great and it attracts a good eclectic mix of people. I had the sausage roll and a cold dring and they were great. All in all a good place for a chilled weekend brew.

Visited here recently Fabulous experience Great choice of drinks - special cocktail offer Good choice of local beers including draft Extensive menu especially if you’re a vegetarian Also daily specials board Yummy deserts Staff go the extra mile to assure you have everything you need Deserves to do well - highly recommended

first time popped in-most tables were already taken having breakfast; always seek decaffinated coffee(from machine-not sachet!!) and said to us-"no problem". 4 staff busying around in kitchen area to cope with orders. Few minutes later large cups duly presented to us with a biscuit-nice touch and without asking -a jug of hot water(rare sight) The coffees were excellent. worth going back for a meal someday.
