The best restaurants serving British food in South East

The Subway is awful! Ages to prepare and they were getting many of the orders mixed up. We asked where our waffles and dips were. The man glared at us. We received one of the two portions and gave up. My Veggie Subway wasn't very nice. Very dry! I have never had a bad experience with a Subway previously.

Ordered the chicken ciabatta on the menu which doesn’t mention it comes with bacon and they gave us bacon

Staff seems to get there as the cafe opens, so there is a wait for them to get themselves sorted before they could serve, the cold drinks were all warm as the fridge had obviously been turned off overnight. Got our cutlery and sauces and sat down in the conservatory area, the cutlery was filthy so I had to wash it myself. The whole area seemed unloved and grubby. There were other customers with multiple small dogs at their table which barked aggressively as anyone walked past including small children going to the soft play. The noise just echoed around the area and made it quite unpleasant. The breakfast took around 25 minutes and was barely edible, the sausage sandwich was only just cooked, the sausage ring was extremely anemic with no colour and my partner lost his appetite and left it. My breakfast was ok, my sausage was cooked, was given a large slice of nearly toasted bread with one tiny butter. Some of the staff need to smarten up and have clean uniforms and look presentable. We won’t be coming back here.

I was refused to have a customized order in person based on "we can't remove ingredients because what if something happens to you...", when I tried to remove the beef from loaded fries. This person that said he is the "manager", used reversed health and safety rule that "what if something happens...." to me when removing ingredient (such as beef because I never eat beef but all other ingredients were ok), when actually by adding ingredient to a food is actually the problem in a scenario like this of health and safety. Therefore I was declined my order when many other Dominos shops served me this along with this store's other employees in the past... Worse experience I had with Dominos for many years and Google reviews of 5 stars after my review are proof of biased and influencing from this person to other kind of people to review positively...this is false advertise on Google sadly... and my review is negated.. But this makes my experience even worse... I wish i'd give 0 stars for this...

If you are expecting a modern and polished dining establishment , go elsewhere. This place is a true, timeless local pub. Sussex Best on tap and a merry environment that guarantees a good time for all. Would heartily recommend to those seeking a warm, rustic pub with cheerful service.

Not great, this subs chip shop And cooking everything to order is a crazy idea, ppl are waiting unnecessarily. Letting the fish etc sit in the hot cupboard ads to the product. Food was disappointing fish split in two, no seasoning in the batter runny and little on the fish

WENT FOR LUNCH .VERY EXPENSIVE. TAP WATER SMELT AND TASTED OF BLEACH.SALAD WITH QUICHE WAS HARD WHITE CABBAGE AND POTATO SALAD WITH A PERFUMED FLAVOUR COFFEE MOSTLY FROTH.FRONT OF HOUSE WAS EXTREMELY RUDE.AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

Popped in here with my wife for a quick, Saturday lunchtime, bite to eat. We ordered a very simple sandwich each. The restaurant was approx 1/3 full, so by no means busy. But you’d have thought they were run off their feet - so bad was the service. We waited over 40 minutes for the 2 sandwiches to be delivered. After 30 mins we chased and were simply told - they’re on their way. No apology for the delay. The sandwiches arrived and still no “sorry for your wait” I went to pay the bill no “sorry about the service today” not even a “how was your meal today” Absolutely shocking - weve been here maybe 15 times over the past 4 or 5 years. We will not return. I suspect others have made the same decision based on the fact the place was 2/3 empty on a weekend lunchtime.

Called in here with my wife, we were staying over the road at the crown plaza hotel, But the prices were high, we were welcomed by a nice man who said he was a manager from head office on day experience, he was very pleasant and helpful, the coffees were good and the food too. Worth a visit on a busy enterprise park

Came here with my mum and new born baby in a pram, we ordered food and coffees and was told to take a seat they will bring it over, we were not told to wait at the til for our coffees so assumed it will come with the food. The food arrived and we asked where our coffees were, to be rudely told well you’re supposed to wait for them… they’d been put on the counter far side and had been sat there for quite some time… bare in mind, our table was next to the til and could see we have a baby with us. The server who Brang us the food then retrieved our drinks from the other side of the cafe and was shaking them all over the place and leant over the pram spilling everywhere, we and the table next to us wash telling her to be careful and she got even more flappy and then just walked off. Good job baby wasn’t in the pram at the time!! Or he would be covered in hot chocolate. I now have to clean my pram. A little bit of training in customer service wouldn’t go amiss here. Shocking. Won’t be back which is a shame as we enjoyed coming here.

Stopped here for lunch. Had a sausage, cheese and chutney panini and some chips, as part of a summer panini deal. However the chips served were thin, rather than thick as advertised on the offer poster and they were also really greasy. The panini itself was also very greasy and did not taste nice. Also, the cafe provides sachets of different sauces but these are difficult to open and only contain a small amount of sauce leading to lots of litter and excess packaging. They should invest in bottles of sauces for the tables. I found the food to be overpriced and in no way reflective of the high end appearance the department store aims to achieve.

Been visiting Costa Liscard for years and always put photos on Facebook. I have now been refused service for taking a photo which is not illegal. Lesson learnt woke strikes again

Had a lot better for a lot less , not fresh , sandy , crab was -------- cook could have tried to make it look worthy of the money , I could still see the print of the cling film in the crab ,

Ended up sharing 3 finger sandwiches and a sausage roll (split into 3) between the two of us. This trip and afternoon tea was booked as a special treat but left me feeling embarrassed as we were dividing miniature cakes into two! The castle and gardens are indeed amazing but the afternoon tea was massive disappointment. For about £45 for two people this was a waste of money and should have asked for a refund. I would suggest going to the coffee shop instead.
