Boulters Restaurant - Maidenhead
It's no surprise that Boulters Restaurant & Bar has been called the 'Jewel of the Thames' with its glorious waterside location looking downstream towards Maidenhead bridge
  
Nobles - Battle - Sussex
Paul Noble's self-named restaurant occupies a stylishly refurbished townhouse in the historic Sussex town of Battle (the scene of a famous confrontation in 1066!)
Situated in Kemp Town 'village', between Brighton Pier and the Marina, Sam's occupies the site that once traded as One Paston Place. Chef/proprietor Sam Metcalfe is well-known for his endeavours at Sevendials Restaurant, and his new venture aims to capitalise on his feel for seasonal, bistro-style food in relaxed surroundings (complete with fresh flowers and family photos).

The menu is refreshingly unpretentious; how about steak and kidney pie with mash, cabbage and a pint of Bass for a tenner?

A fixture of the Sandwich scene for hundreds of years, the Bell Hotel stands on the Quay, adjacent to the historic Barbican Gate and Toll. Its main restaurant has recently had a stunning makeover
