The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in South East

An almost authentic step-back in time to 1960's station buffets right down to over-priced awful coffee. The only thing missing is the fog of tobacco smoke! If you want to relive your youth, or see what you parents endured, this is a must. The building and decor are almost all vintage or antique, and you can look out on the steam trains.

This is a lovely coffee shop, food is good, and well priced, its just a shame the staff are unfriendly and miserable.

Great location coffee shop with loads of inside and outside space Varied snack menu with some great looking cakes Slightly let down by the sourdough which seemed to be normal white bread and food just not-quite-there Needs a little more attention to detail and could be a legendary stop!

Food and drink fine but don't drop in if you are walking your dog. I live alone with my dog and I like to take her a Jack Russell with me. I often go into cafes and pubs with my dog but Costas do not allow dogs.

Pierre's is a sandwich bar, really, rather than a cafe as such. Great selection of sandwiches, wraps, baguettes, and baked potatoes listed on the boards, and they cook their own baguettes in an oven right in front of you. However, as I said, it's not really a cafe. I stare up at the boards. I'm in the mood for a baked potato - with chilli, preferably. That's not on the menu, but I spot three Christmas specials pasted up onto the baked potato list. Turkey, stuffing and ham etc. So, I enquire if they are fills for baked potatoes. "Well, you can have anything you want in a baked potato", says the young lady behind the counter. "You can choose from anything on the menu and we can put it in a potato, but it might cost a bit extra." She's late twenties, dyed blonde hair, heavy makeup, and a strongish eastern European accent. She's trying to be helpful, I know. But I'm lazy. I don't want to have to design my lunch from scratch, though I know a lot of people do and it's what sandwich bars pride themselves for. I'm also slightly confused what the Christmas specials might look like (a mini dinner?, a sandwich filling?). So, not wanting to create a fuss, I panic and go for the lowest common denominator: a bacon baguette, packet of crisps and an orange juice – to eat in. It's nice enough, but maybe a bit steep at £6.50. I finish it quickly, not because it's particularly tasty but because the door's wide open, it's mid-December, and I've got my coat and scarf on. And the ambience is business-like rather than relaxing and inviting. A gentle stream of new customers enter and order, and some sit down to eat, like me. Behind the counter, apart from the blonde young lady there are two big blokes, also in their twenties. They're wearing aprons so must be serving staff, but they just seem to be hanging around not doing much. They all give the air of being temporary staff and that sandwich-making is not the first love of their lives. Cheerful enough, but not wonderfully friendly. I get up to leave. On my way out I call "Thanks", trying to catch someone's eye, hoping someone might smile back at me. I'm invisible. Nobody seems the least interested. I might be back for a sandwich some day. Not sure I'll be back for a sit-down. But then, it is really just a sandwich bar rather than a cafe, after all.

Service and atmosphere all fine. Drinks, not so much. Got chai latte and was so bitter! Don't know how it was made but just wasn't good at all. Very unhappy with this

Awful Starbucks. Poor service, and an even worse coffee. 3 shot tall oat latte, tasted terrible so I asked for a remake and it still tastes terrible. Do better.

Really lovely place great food very friendly staff. And it's dog friendly definitely worth a visit. Cranbrook is a lovely small town very clean and tidy

I'm giving this review whilst the restaurant is closed (22.9.24). . . How long will the place be closed for, as it seems to be forever this particular Wimpy has been shut due to refurbishment. . . . . Please open soon, as not everyone likes a MaccyD or other burgers. Some of us miss the spicy bean burger and other items on your menu. . . .

Took my dog in here because I was told they did dog "drinks". Its basically a bit of cream in a cup but my dog loved it. The staff were really nice and my dog loved being around people. Though he was a little nervous at first... This is now going to be a weekly thing. One of the staff even got my dog a refill lol. Thank you very much Starbucks staff!

Food was good. Starters took ages to arrive as did the drinks. Then we were almost rushed with our starters as the mains were ready :( They turned off the hot chocolate machine at 2130 which meant no hot chocolate but we could have tea. Our visit last night was OK, but previously it has been exceptional. Please don't turn off the hot drinks machine until all customers have finished eating. If you are going to be slow delivering our starters and drinks don't then rush us for the main course with the threat of our dinner overcooking under the lamps. That is your job to manage not the customers. Last night could have been better.

Never have a bad experience at Costa. Great tasting coffee, delicious snacks and always friendly helpful staff.

Shopping here feels so stressful due to how rude, cold and dismissive most of the staff are. They seem so miserable to be there. I have witnessed so many staff being so cold and dismissive to friendly customers just looking for assistance. You'd be best off going to Aldi down the road. This place is appalling.

Estaba buscando un asesor de viaje para restaurantes locales, no planeaba comer aquí, pero una vez que di un paseo por el hotel y leí los menús tailandeses que ofrecían, me convenció. Fui por la opción 2 y la comida estaba impecable. Recomendaría comer aquí si estás en la zona. Muy buena comida y servicio también.

Lovely peaceful place to enjoy ur food or coffee/tea. Lovely people work there and service is fantastic.
