The best restaurants in South East

Warm welcome, rather pushy waiter taking order, good service BUT food mediocre: my husband’s aubergine melanzana was not good he said, and his dish of the day pasta bland & tasteless; based on glowing reviews I chose the lamb, that was more less without flavour inc sauce & I’d been pushed to order extra veg by waiter and got a watery spoonful of spinach @ 6.50. Expensive meal and really disappointing

A Well cooked meal, hot and well presented. The Ibex is situated in Chaddleworth, a pretty village in West Berkshire, about 7 miles North of Newbury. A good chef.

Never been before, always so busy when i’ve passed, so today decided to see what all the fuss was about! Decided on the meze plate! asked to change the vine leaves for halloumi, no problems all! was expecting it to come out in polystyrene boxes and pots………. How wrong was I…… served on a lovely platter even had a smilie face in the hummus 🙂 Amazing value for money and so so tasty! Thanks guys i’ll absolutely be back!! Hopefully you can see just how much you get for £10

Traditional English pub experience. Excellent Sunday Roast, beer well kept, staff attitude very good. Will for sure visit again !

Met up with local friend to visit this establishment that got great reviews and wasn't disappointed. Romanian food is freshly cooked on the premises. Lots of food and drink choices. The place has a friendly atmosphere with Romanian artifacts adorning the walls. Toilets on the same level and all step free accessible. Book a table whilst they are still available.

What a night, Lissie and Jessie were amazing. From the set up of the bar, to helping me get ready for our guest, was rushing around preparing/putting food out, to the amazing cocktails and service. Will definitely be using them again.

We wanted to send a massive thank you to Ateen and his wonderful team for allowing us to hire the venue and hold a Christmas theme Hen-Party. The food was amazing as always. The hens were so impressed with the quality of the food and different choices available. Flexibility was given to us with the decor and communication up to the event with Ateen was great. Thank you always and I’m sure you will see some of the guests travelling from afar just for the food!

The best breakfast ever! The food is delicious, amazing quality, fresh. The staff are absolutely lovely and always welcoming. Hot chocolates are amazing.

Best breakfast in a long time. Will be there as often as possible. Really good breakfast. Really good . Lovely & clean /warm & friendly.

Food arrived on time but was cold and chicken substituted for (see picture as not even sure what it is??!)Called to re order but lady hung up on me - called back 6 times and now going straight to voicemail- will not be spending over the odds on what used to be decent food again!

Was looking for a nice lunch pre-theatre trip and The Pantry was excellent. Nice atmosphere, good food and nice service - Highly recommended.

We booked Avenue 141 for a birthday celebration. The evening was huge success.From the canapés to the desserts, the meal was delicious. The student staff were attentive and professional and nothing was too much trouble, especially considering we were a large group. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and I cannot recommend it highly enough Thank you for a memorable evening Avenue 141

Great beach side coffee kiosk with plenty of picnic tables and deck chairs. Wonderful coffee and hot chocolate. A great range of milk alternatives, vegan ice cream and vegan cake available. Also plenty of umbrellas to keep the seagulls at bay. We came many times during our holiday. Also because of the concrete path accessible by wheelchair and pushchair.

A really great place - coffee is good, cakes are great. Fantastic for my coeliac partner, just a real all-round gem in Reading.

6 months on and I’m compelled to reiterate just how much this place is a no-brainer, destination stop for anyone who appreciates the very best food, served with the very best engagement, in an environment that is relaxed, friendly and welcoming. I’ve extolled the virtues of this cafe to every visitor that’s stayed with me since my first discovery of the culinary magic that is Kostas, Gino & Co. No pun, but I’ve risked serious egg on my face, such are my oft deployed superlatives ! Yesterday the Veggie Breakfast was added to the long list of offerings that just don’t disappoint. Cooked perfectly, it was the freshest doorstep toast that simply sealed the deal - ‘it costs a bit more, but it adds so much’ is Kostas’s philosophy. ‘Worth it !’ was our clear sentiment & endorsement. And the Greek yoghurt - extraordinaire - which I’d wanged on about, was apparently even better on the tastebuds than even I had given it credit for. I’ve since discovered that this yogurt is imported from Greece and maddeningly, cannot be bought retail ! The usual cafe suspects of the High Street have their place but nothing can better a proposition that has true heart. With Eaten cafe, there’s nothing fancy, nothing overtly commercial. Just authentic, home made cooking, created & served with love, passion and a commitment to we the Diners. Quality @ value, every which way !
