The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in South East

We booked the private room for a business lunch for 17 people. It was £300 booking fee but because it was daytime we negotiated it down to £100. Menu sent 2 weeks prior as everything had to be pre ordered. Day he fire event sent new menu- told any changes can be booked on day. Annoying but ok these things happen. We arrive- room not ready. Left for 15 minutes waiting for room.clearly forgotten we were coming. We said if you can’t accommodate us tell us now and we will go elsewhere. Told that kitchen will be fine. Finally get into room- has other things stored in it, no prep done other than cutlery put out. Then waited 10 minutes before anyone came to do drinks. Then given our preorders and three menus and told to check order against new food options! Drinks took ages. Had to take sheet with new orders to bar. About 15 mins later they come to say some of the new food not available. Unbelievably unprofessional. Whole thing was a joke. We were set to be there for 3 courses and drinks. We told them not to bother with anything else other than mains. Server comes down with first meal ( we have been here an hour) and yells like a fishwife at us. We stood up and left, got our £100 room fee back at least. So embarrassing for us as we were hosting a business lunch. Try to use local businesses and this is how they treat you. Never again.

We used to frequent Longacres Garden Centre regularly before the pandemic, but their price hikes and often overcrowded restaurant made us look for alternatives. Whenever we go to Farnham, we kept passing this new place and decided to give this place a try. Upon arrival, we navigated the one-way car park and found a convenient spot near the entrance. As we entered the centre and walked to the restaurant, we were amazed by the elegant decor, which reminded us of The Dorchester Hotel in London. The space was spacious, clean, and stylish. We ordered the Egg Royale and two coffees, and my gosh, they were absolutely delicious. Will we return? Definitely!

A wonderful setting but £12.50 for ham egg and chips. The eggs were sort of microwaved or baked and hard and rubbery. I pointed this out to the waiter who just said "Oh" and walked off.

Went in today and found it to be very dirty with extremely sticky floors and toilets full and not been cleaned! This then put me off purchasing anything in here including the beer! If they can’t clean the toilets and stairs then do they clean behind counter and their lines!!

I'll not be doing that again very expensive small portion junk food glorified jumped up greasy spoon cafe

Been a while since I reviewed cafe. I’ve always enjoyed beans on toast here which other customers look on with envy. Due to a busy schedule decided to have a full breakfast along with normal pot of tea. The breakfast was excellent and service was prompt. Staff are always friendly but often pushed due to staffing levels. Today admittedly was quiet and the reason for 4 stars was due to being cold but I understand this is due to an ongoing heating problem.

Short staffed again.... Will only do take away cups as they've not enough staff to clean tables..... Still charge sitin prices though.... Had to have my coffee from paper cups. Not a good experience....I won't be back

Outrageously good - both the service and the coffee!

It's hard to write a review when you didn't get served, but here goes. We go here now and then for coffee and a Danish pastry, it can be busy but this time we found most of the tables were empty, so sat down and then I went to order. In spite of so many empty tables and plenty of staff, when I tried to order I was ignored for a good minute or so by the teenagers behind the counter. One then decided to speak to me and said "we're not taking orders as we're too busy, come back in 20 to 30 minutes". They said the same to the people behind me, so now I know why it was half empty. At least I was spared the pain of the pastries that cost over £4. It's a pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by, but never again. I don't like being told my custom isn't wanted because they can't be bothered to get themselves organised. I can see this coffee shop going the same way as the others that folded recently.

The waitress was sat on a bar stool when we arrived, looking at her phone. She momentarily stopped to look us up and down then resumed Facebook. We sat on some broken down chairs that had old cushions stuffed in the broken rattan, then moved to slightly less uncomfortable chairs but with a dirtier table. Once we'd been served our small, cold wrong eggs breakfast I used the bathroom. It was 0930 in the morning. You look at the pictures attached. Never go. It's dreadful

As good as the original with shorter lines than the deli it replaced.

In a lot of ways, it’s a brilliant cafe, mainly because of its lovely community feel - it feels like a central hub for the community. Unfortunately, there are two major issues that let it down: 1) Extremely long queues and long waits to get served 2) Consistently unfriendly, unengaging, rude staff who ignore any attempts at a greeting or conversation, bark questions and instructions at you, and then ask you to give them a positive rating on the app “so they get paid more.” I don’t know of a cafe with more of a community feel, and at the same time, deeply unfriendly, sometimes quite rude and aggressive staff.

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.

Absolutely disgusting rock hard fried bread black pudding and to make it worse cold after waiting ages. Coffee machine not working. Avoid and fire the chef.

Costa in Tesco Wokingham is a great place to go for a coffee. It’s always clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
