The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in South East

Afternoon tea was lush! Couldn’t fault it service was great plenty of sweet and savoury cakes and nibbles. Fairly priced nice atmosphere!

I visited the cafe 3 times during my 4 day visit to Abingdon. The customer service was excellent with lovely friendly staff who went out of their way to help other older customers even when busy. Very nice location on the square.

Tasteless coffee, slow service, staff no enthusiasm, staff smoking outside the entrance. Only went for the car cleaning.

Este fue un gran lugar para los niños, se permiten perros Me sentí muy cómodo. increíble servicio al cliente. Fue una gran experiencia. La comida era sabrosa yo tenía el pescado y patatas fritas y era tan bueno el pescado estaba húmedo y patatas fritas frescas y crujientes.

Pass by many times but this time I have decided to give it a try and do my usual coffee break here. The space is alright, the service was okay and the coffee was good. The atmosphere was not the best but the location compensate. I will come back for another coffee breaks.

Impossible to eat, you do not get any service! Stay in a budget hotel, they have better service. I am writing this while sitting in the restaurant

Avoid this place..tried to rip us off.charged my friend £20 for a baileys. Pint of cider & a pint of lager to which my friend asked whats the price of the beer & cider & the still wet behind the ears lad said £5 a pint so it's £10 for a baileys. He replied it's a double & we only asked for a single. I said why did you give my wife a double instead of a single cus she might be driving & thinking its a single & drinking it could put her over the limit. He unbelievably said " my brother told me to " & I said where's your brother? He said he didn't know. You couldn't make this up could you.. they obviously knew we weren't from the area & tried it on because there's no way it was a double baileys but charged for it..the locals wouldn't use this place if these prices were for them. I asked the guy at the bar in our hotel about it & he says him & his mate's go in & aren't charged that much. On the Saturday night we went to a nice pub up the road & the gaffer said it's happened before with tourists being over charged. So folks if you do go in the SNUG BAR be very careful of what your being charged. Plenty of better pubs than this close by anyway..

Observation: Not comfortable with dogs in the restaurant area. Staff appearance and hand cleanliness needs to be much improved.

I took my elderly father to Waitrose cafe in Hythe, Kent for a light lunch. Not good. The cutlery in the self serve drawer was not clean, wet and actually had previous food smears on it. I mentioned this to the staff member filling it while I was trying to find clean cutlery for my father and myself. She continued adding the mucky cutlery wiping it with her thumb which was not impressive. I’m sure it’s no coincidence that even though we live apart, my father and I both have painful stomach upsets and diarrhoea. All the cutlery needed to be re washed or sterilised in boiling water. I wonder if the general hygiene of this kitchen and cafe is observed and taken seriously enough as it didn’t appear to be. I don’t know how they/Waitrose get away with it. Just to say, the fleeting menu is not possible for the elderly to easily read. My ham and cheese toasty was with rubbery white bread, barely toasted with very little filling. We won’t bother to visit again.

Aweful service, visited with my sister for a quick lunch, took ages for our sandwiches to arrive, my hot chocolate was cold, plates/dishes left on tables - seemed to be plenty of people milling around in the kitchen, and that’s where they stayed. One person bringing food out, two behind the counter - no co-ordination. Queue to be served was ridiculous. Don’t think I’ll be visiting again.

I like the blue diamond go a lot and I always think the food in both the restaurants is good. But the service today was awful and has been the last couple of times I have visited the patisserie. Looks under staffed and when I asked for some salt and pepper I was told to look over there and just waved at at. Same when I asked where the spoons were for my soup. Soup was nothing special either under seasoned catering type pack I guess. Shame it’s gone down hill.

We visited today for coffee and to purchase an artificial xmas tree. We chose scones and coffee, one cheese and one fruit. Both of these were virtually inedible, the cheese had no flavour whatsoever, both that and my fruit scone were dry and extremely dense, neither tasted either nice or fresh and we were unable to finish. My black coffee was awful, a distinct undertone of washing up liquid or similar, undrinkable, I had to resort to glasses of water in an attempt to push my scone down. The selection of artificial xmas trees was abysmal, so the whole outing a huge disappointment and one we will not be repeating.

Went on a Saturday morning wasn't too busy but still had to wait quite a long time ordered to breakfasts and some pancakes with drinks it came to almost £40 which is extremely steep. The drinks were made well, the food came out quick maybe too quick as my eggs on my breakfast were cold, spoke to someone who said they would make some more but had a horrible attitude. Not on m&s expensive and poor service

Lovely, friendly staff who always try and accommodate specific requests. Food is prepared fresh and arrives quickly - we’ve been here a lot and also had a positive experience! Great for breakfasts but does t open until 9am so don’t arrive too early! Nice, uncomplicated menu with a friendly atmosphere - highly recommend!

Beautiful location, great coffee and an array of homemade cakes. The carrot cake was one of the best I've ever tasted. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Dairy alternative milks available vegan cakes too. The cafe sits right next to the lake where you can sit and watch the variety of bird life and the numerous dragonflies flying around this aptly named cafe. Take a walk around the lakes too such a peaceful area the car park isn't huge but seemed to accommodate visitors well enough. If you're a cyclist a friendly and warm welcome awaits with room to leave bikes safely and enjoy a well deserved coffee. Highly recommend this little oasis.
