The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Excellent cafe, great food and the staff are exceptional at there job...

We had not long arrived in East Wittering for a weekend away with the family and were looking for a bite to eat before checking into our accommodation. We came across The Boulevard whilst exploring the town and having a stroll down to the sea. We enjoyed a delicious lunch, all so fresh and arrived quickly. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The staff were superb and we were very well looked after by Kate and Ollie. We will be back for sure! Thank you!

Just a nice cafe with freshly cooked food and lovely friendly service. Sea and pier views. I would go there again.

Having seen The Royal Oak on the 'Great Places to Eat' TV programme, we decided to give it a try. It's a very small pub, with a big garden and an undercovered area with wooden tables. It was packed inside, so The Wife & I took the drinks we'd bought at the bar to a table (shared with another couple) in the undercovered area. Food is ordered at a kiosk overlooking the garden and the choice is pretty much 'Ploughman's lunch or Ploughman's lunch'. However, the Ploughman's can come with cheese, gammon, smoked mackerel, smoked trout pate, quiche, sausage roll or pork pie, and there are vegan and/or vegetarian options available. All are served with warm ciabatta, coleslaw, pickled onions, mixed leaves, chutneys, pickles - fantastic! At £14 per plate, this is great value. Wonderful place... will revisit.

The food is excellent and it’s also very good value for money as well

This is my first review, prompted by a deeply disappointing experience at this restaurant. With considerable experience in the food industry, I expected the produce to be fresh and well-sourced, especially given the restaurant's location. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I began with the calamari, which was not fresh and tasted as though it had been defrosted and microwaved. For my main course, I ordered the ribeye steak. Although it was cooked well, the meat was extremely tough and did not mask its poor quality. Additionally, all the food was served at an uncomfortably cold temperature. It seemed that, on this particular night, the staff was attempting to compensate for the subpar service and food quality by offering excessive amounts of parmesan cheese. My partner and I were approached three times by different servers, each offering more cheese instead of addressing our need for water. In summary, while the atmosphere was pleasant, the overall experience was an unfortunate waste of money that I would have preferred to spend elsewhere.

We visited the premises for a midweek evening meal in August. We had pre booked the meal several months before, a must in high season. We were met by the new maitre de, who was in his second week at the restaurant. From reading previous reviews, he is a good addition to the premises. He was attentive and knowledgeable and made us feel at ease immediately. We opted for the 7 course taster, but not being great wine drinkers we sought advice. On his recommendation, we were able to share a ‘wine flight’ between my wife and I. They even gave us a spare glass on each course. This elevated the whole meal experience for us. The entire meal was sublime, with faultless service from the staff. Only one observation was the over attentiveness of the owners wife, who had a habit of over lingering at a table once a course was served. Sometimes less is better👍. Will we return ? Absolutely Yes! Highly recommended.

Great food, great service and great value

A great place to stop for a coffee and a cake. I was out cycling and we passed through Windsor. Located in the old ticket hall of the station, it’s a bustling cafe with tourists visiting Windsor castle and cyclists from all over, stopping here for a break. It’s really accommodating for cyclists with its indoor bike racks, heated glove warmers in the winter time for those who like winter riding. It’s the highlight of a ride when we head out this way

I park on the south side in the ♿️ parking area. I would like to know why there is nobody working a checkout on that side. I hate using the self checkout. You are making it very inconvenient for the handicap.

Lovely little cafe. Our first visit while we were passing. Such a lovely little polite team and the food was good too!

Lovely Inn situated in a great area, very busy I would recommend booking in advance. The service was excellent everyone were very friendly. The food was very good, good portion sizes and reasonably priced. I would definitely return and recommend.

My favourite coffee place in Southsea for breakfast, the coffee is the best and the food is amazing☕️☀️🌱

Myself and my Wife both had a great meal at the Mulberry Inn last night. Great staff and a beautiful Pub/Restaurant with a roaring fire. Very inventive menu with a Middle eastern theme (mostly Lebanese) although there are also plenty of traditional dishes to choose from for the less adventurous. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again if in the area.

First time visit as a group of 11 on a packed Friday night. Great selection available on the menu, staff friendly and helpful particularly with two food allergies in our group. You get the feeling that nothing is too much trouble for them. Will definitely be back.
