The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in South East

I would have given 4 stars if the owner hadn’t charged us for an extra person who didn’t show up for the meal. I find this practice absurd—it has never happened to me, even at the best restaurants. It feels unfair and unreasonable. If 3-4 people don’t turn up, would they charge for all of them too? Ridiculous!

Typical spoons in its way. Cheap drinks etc. Atmosphere what it is. Staff can be ok, nice with manners but one or two such as the largeish woman with big earrings never can be bothered. Treated like a bug on a windshield. Manners are free which most forget. Otherwise what it is.

Lovely pub with links to the 60's film 'The Battle of Britain' - very friendly staff, dog friendly and decent food and beers available. Ate in the bar area which was very pleasant but also has a large conservatory/restaurant area.

All the staff are friendly, they go out of their way to help you. Lovely armosphere, food its lovely and generous portion sizes.

Excellent lunch! Highly recommend it. Good wine list, great food, friendly and efficient staff and lovely lighting creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely on our “go to again” list.

We came for a family lunch expecting the great service we usually receive; however unfortunately we left extremely disappointed. We ordered a burger sizzler combo, but the lady on the till put through a full monty instead. We pointed this out to our server straight away when it arrived, and he was extremely apologetic and raised this with the bar staff. However, the bar staff were immediately defensive and practically called us liars saying that we had ordered a full monty; even though my partner read our order to them directly from a list he had written on his phone which they then had no response to. It took a lot of back and forth for the staff member to eventually put through the correct meal, and then immediately came over to our table to take away the full monty (which we didn’t want in the first place and hadn’t touched!). The only apology we received was from our waiter who was so lovely and accommodating, and it wasn’t even his fault.

We haven't been here for a while but it was just as good as we remember. Everything we ordered was excellent and the landlord was particularly helpful with wine advice. I like a nice pale but the local Chapel Down was out of stock too so I ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio. The landlord offered us tasters of a South African rose & the Pinot. We went for the excellent SA Pinot blush, which I would not normally have chosen.

Staff are always lovely and up for a chat, good pool table and jukebox.

Excellent Christmas meal! Delish turkey main with a great selection of vegetables. Service fantastic! Would recommend.

Staff are amiable and give good customer service and care.

We returned to The Trout for Christmas lunch this year after a lovely meal there on Christmas day last year. Unfortunately we both felt disappointed this time. We were squashed into a corner for starters. Last year the dining room had literally half the number of tables in. This time it felt claustrophobic and hot. To be fair, Hannah the manager did ask if we were OK, but by this time we had our starters and didn't really feel able to start moving around, plus there was really nowhere else for us to be seated. The food was really disappointing. The roast potatoes were still white and hard, they must have been in the oven for such a short time. The service was slow, mistakes were made on our bill and the whole experience wasn't really very special. You pay an extortionate amount of money for Christmas day lunch, and this really didn't feel as though we got anything near what we paid for. We wouldn't go back next year. It's a real shame.

I refuse to use this place as the owners obviously have no pride in the look of the place. Rubbish piled up near the entrance. I took the photo on a good day, usually it’s much worse than this. How do the customers not consider this an eyesore, unbelievable.

Never disappointing Great service Fab food Clean and tidy Don't own a dog but it is a dog friendly restaurant

My husband and I celebrated our 23 wedding anniversary and ordered fillet steaks served with chips, mushrooms and fried onion with a pepper corn sauce drizzled on the steaks. This was cooked with perfection and presented well . The service was professional and polite . The rioja red wine goes extremely well and sets the flavours . This gives a feeling of satisfaction and puts a smile on your face .

Nice location and looks like a nice selection on the menu. We've never tried it before as have been warned off the place by others in the Marina. Unfortunately they were right. Breakfast came out looking nice but items were either luke warm or cold. No one checked on us to be able to tell them and I wasn't going to get up again after already having to chase down clean cutlery and condiments. Ate part of it and gave the rest to our dog. Not amenable with any changes to items either. Expensive for what it was.
