Best English Restaurants in Southwater

This restaurant has been a bit hit and miss in recent years but this week we enjoyed an excellent lunch. Chicken Supreme and Greek Salad with chicken. The portions were generous and the standard was high. The prices, although at the high end, are ok as the food is good. Sadly it wasn't warm enough to eat outside but afterwards we ordered coffees to be served on the terrace and the sun did show. It might make for a more sophisticated experience if the waiting staff were better trained and given uniforms including footwear. This was the only downside on this visit. Will definitely return.

Excellent food, fabulous staff, can't wait to book again.

Lovely building, comfy chairs, can bring your dog. Food was very nice, duch starter about touch but still delicious with the ginger and rest of salad. Fish and chips went off well, we prefer take the skin off chips. Lovely coffees and shortbread.

Always a great experience. Fabulous food with great flavours and beautifully presented

We had an excellent evening enjoying the wine-led tasting menu at The Poet on Friday 13 June. It was a pleasure to learn about the wines and understand the reasons for the pairing. The food was delicious and expertly chosen to complement the wines. This was a truly enjoyable experience. I felt truly nourished!
