The best restaurants serving British food in South East

We were staying locally and came here for dinner. Food was excellent and a good selection of options. Both had starters - Chicken satay and jerk prawns. For main we had pork belly and monk fish with Pak Choi and a creamy coconut sauce. Really nice flavours and decent portions- too stuffed to look at dessert menus. Service was good and felt looked after. A little on the pricey side (£77 for 2 with an alcoholic drink each) but not too bad, especially for the quality and portions.

Best cafe in Ashford. Girls in there are all so welcoming and friendly. So clean and tidy! Great place to take the kids too! 10/10 will definitely be returning

You get what you pay for. Curry very thin like a soup. Ribs were almost grey in colour. Must have been a bad night but won’t eat here again.

£15 Sunday roast deal. Best cut of beef I've ever had. Everything tasted incredible. Service top rate as always. Highly recommended.

Cracking bar with some nice reals ale and a couple of craft beers on. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely space out rear. Didn't have any food

My partner and I ate here the other day and it was perfect absolutely amazing definitely can't complain, food was top notch, people are very pleasant. Lovely experience would definitely recommend

The Selsey Arms, you have really outdone yourself tonight! Bar staff have gone above and beyond for us tonight, friendly and approachable. The food just keeps getting better and better. I cannot recommend this country pub enough.

We had a group of 11 for lunch and I must say the food and service were just brilliant. Food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. We will def be back to this great country pub

Having eaten here 2 nights. The food standard was excellent both nights. The ambience in the restaurant would be better with more clients. The service on both evenings was attentive without being intrusive.. The trout small plate was delightful in taste and presentation. The lamb and duck dishes were cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. Both dishes were well balanced and filling. The cod dish was very filling and an unusual presentation of cod and crab. The meal was complete with great champagne and wine without a need for a pudding! Compliments to the kitchen brigade and waiting staff

Delicious food, good portions and a beautiful menu on an ever changing chalk board!

Sunday roasts are excellent, can't say the same for midweek dining, had a fish dish that was on the specials menu and it was anything but special, was quite fishy/not that fresh.

We visited Tides as a big group the Food was excellent the service was excellent friendly helpful and very efficient a hidden gem Tides does not disappoint well worth a visit.

If you are eating here stick to 'difficult to FU' food. Fish and chips/burgers for example. Gastro it is not. Otherwise its a nice countryside pub with a good outside space. Locals were not so friendly, nothing sinister just charmless.

Our all time favourite fish and chip shop! When we drive down from London and The Verne is our first stop.

Crab and mackerel right by the sea. What more could you want? Not cheap, but nobody wants a cheap crab pasty and everything is here is top quality and is really good value. The wine is good quality too and compliments the food. Also, the setting is fab and with access a bit challenging you feel as if your meal is well earned.
