The best restaurants serving British food in South East

Always a treat grabbing lunch here. The staff are charming and the portions generous and tasty. The "Three Little Pigs" bap is a MUST.

A lovely evening to celebrate my daughter’s Birthday. The atmosphere is relaxed as the staff are very friendly and helpful and the meal was very tasty. Bijan’s Kitchen is in an ideal position with good parking nearby. Altogether a lovely place to eat - and a bonus candle on a cake at the end of the meal was very much appreciated.

Great service, good food and lovely music too!

Best burger I’ve had in a long time. Juicy, flavoursome and definitely didn’t go hungry afterwards. I asked to try the onion soup as I’ve always been a put off by it ….. I will 100% be ordering this the next time. Delicious!! Hats off to the chef!

We have been to this restaurant before, for Christmas dinner last year. On that occasion it was fantastic. So, when choosing a restaurant for a casual evening meal on a Friday night, and having limited choices as other places were fully booked, we chose to go to The Long Bar. The ambience & service was good. However, my choice of 'fish on a Friday' (Tuna steak) was underwhelming and bland. It has not put us off, but will definitely choose differently next time. Another thing I need to mention is that there were no prices next to the options on the menu! Therefore, I was not able to take the cost into account when making choices. As a result, our bill came to £187! This I consider to be extortionate for a casual meal for three people! I will be interested to hear the justification. Thank you for an otherwise pleasant experience.

Fantastic breakfast, veggie option was great too. Kept us going all day. Staff were lovely. Very clean and loos were nice too.

My husband I visited Humphrey’s for our anniversary. The menu for vegetarian was so disappointing. The items on the menu were a mismatch , there was no specific cuisine type. I ordered the pea and mint soup as a starter. I had to ask for Salt and pepper as there was no seasoning . I couldn’t taste the mint and the soup was gritty. It was not smooth. Perhaps it was not meant to be, but seasoning should of been there. When the waitress asked how it was, I was honest and said it was not great . Her response “ ok” ! My main was chosen from their main menu, rather than the vegetarian menu ( as it was not enticing) I chose the mushroom risotto. The waiter told me that they can make the risotto vegetarian friendly (without Parmesan) . The dish arrived and Again no seasoning. I thought it was me being pickey, so I asked my husband to try abs he agreed , it was flavourless. I asked the waiter if they can add seasoning. He told me that due to no Parmesan the taste will be pretty much the same. You think being a fine dining restaurant they would have vegetarian alternatives to parmigiana cheese ( even I have in my fridge ). I then asked not to bother to remake with seasoning and thought maybe something from the vegetarian/ vegan menu will be better. I chose the spaghetti in tomato sauce. I was better of not ordering it and eating the bread. It was something a child would eat. If an Italian came To eat this , they would be appalled. I ate 1/4, out of politeness. I didn’t say anything, as at this point I just wanted to hurry up and leave. Final course chocolate fondant ... finally something that was great. I wish I had just gone straight to the dessert . When the bill came, I couldn’t believe that my tasteless meal cost £68. How can spaghetti in some tomato sauce cost £22. I have had some amazing simple pasta in fine dining Michelin star restaurant and willing to pay high price. But this, as I said is something a child would get at school. Also my husbands food was great , crab, prawns to start and halibut for main. That I understand to £68, but for vegetarian it was ridiculous. Even in Michelin star restaurant, the set menus or tasting veg menu is a little cheaper , so this place is just taking advantage. Vegetarian/ vegan food has come a long way and many chefs have learnt the art to take a vegetable and turn it into a incredible meal. This place has clearly not adopted this and think serving some spaghetti in tomato sauce with no seasoning is fine dining! Even other items on the veg menu didn’t look great. If you are vegetarian/vegan, do not eat here. Plus side, deserts were great and main menu was good ( according to my husband)

I have never had a bad experience at this restaurant and tonight was no exception. The food was sublime. The service exceptional. Will be back again and again.

Fresh, cooked to order, delicious and affordable!! I wish I lived near this fish and chips I’d be there weekly! Visited due to the reviews on here and it did not disappoint. Large cod fresh and tasty, chips fluffy and crisp, gorgeous food. We also had the curry sauce and sausage in batter. Will be back when we visit Eastbourne.

Vanilla cone with water wafer...best ice cream I have ever had!!

Called in Friday afternoon with family for lunch staff were very friendly and helpful had a great time thank you

I went for the Taste of Thailand evening with my husband. The atmosphere and service was very nice, the students were very attentive and polite. There were six courses in total and I went away extremely full. In terms of cooking, I understand that they are learning and will definitely not have gained the skill and experience of trained chefs or cooks from that region so the fact that they gave it a go was fantastic and something to build on for the future. If I could just give some honest and specific feedback about the food, hopefully it will be taken on with a view to improve. The Golden cups were cold (not sure if they were supposed to be). The chicken satay sticks were over cooked or maybe breast was used which can dry out quickly, the peanut satay sauce was lovely with big chunks of peanuts and the cucumber salad dip was a nice compliment to the meat. The Khao soi was quite decent for a beginner but really missed the picked mustard greens which can be purchased at the Asian Supermarket a mile away, it is essential. The Pad Thai was not bad but it was a shame that nice big prawns were way over cooked. Rice was over cooked for the curry but definitely edible but the curry was way to dry. Finally, the sticky rice for the mango sticky rice was not cooked enough, too raw so not edible. Lots of learning points for basic cooking and I hope they get the chance to keep improving. Good attempt for non-Thai students, well done.

Always good value for money friendly staff

Used to be good fish and chips, now it’s another kebab shop, just what we need! Fish was horrible. Need to find a new fish and chip shop now.

The red cow is a welcoming and lovely environment, not only are the staff friendly and outgoing but the food is incredible too. I’ve always had a pleasant experience going to this place and I’d definitely recommend going here when you have the chance
