The best restaurants in East of England

Yer good pizza charging the money but doing it right keep it up it’s very simple in this inbred area we live in thankyou you can’t go wrong thanks again

Another great night here. Took a few new friends and they had a great time and loved it. Such a gem for Braintree, a place to be in your list if having a night out in Braintree, book or you may not get in! Great cocktails and service

Great lil cage in a beautiful setting.

On arrival we thought this looked a nice place for breakfast. We found a table by ourselves we waited then went to the staff. God forbid they actually looked after their customers and asked for a menu for breakfast to be told they have stopped serving breakfast and there will be an hour wait For the switchover of menu I am so pleased that they clearly with only three tables used could afford to turn down our family of five whom would’ve all had food and drinks. Sadly, we can’t come in on the food or drinks because they were too busy on their phones and talking to each other to worry about the elusive paying Customer

Attended for breakfast with work colleagues. Both had been before and highly recommended the venue. A nice location and atmosphere. Good selection of teas. Tasty and reasonably priced food. Special mention to Maisy for her service

Perfect. Arrived in good time and hot. Tasted amazing and great choice of pizzas and toppings. Can’t wait to have another one.

We had a really good evening together celebrating an 80th birthday. all of us want to come back to Old Hall for another experience. Some ideas that would make the evening even better.... a menu without the prices so that we could identify each of the delicacies..... something to deal with the flies..{a minor irritation}... a method of attracting someone to attend the bar when we needed it. These did not spoil our evening but would have made it even better. Grazing

They do a lovely flat white with decent dark roasted beans. I took out but very quick service. Interior is nice also. Will be dropping back in next time I pass by rather than going to Neros - Cortado is much better!

Was really looking forward to visiting this place last Saturday when a friend was coming from out of town to have a coffee. She found it. I was surprised a is never seen it in the Harlequin (Intu/Atria)...I got there early.. and set off to find café. I never did.. it didn't seem to exist... unless there is an alternative reality forcefield... it doesn't seem to be there... can anyone explain...?

Tasty, good priced dining experience. Many options for both food and drink. FYI we found best value parking at Victoria Avenue, SS2 6AL!

Exactly what the name suggests - its great!! - been here a number of times, mostly for funerals - cheap beer and great atmosphere!

Maura's Bakery has the tri-factor of having amazing food, incredible value and wonderful service. I visited this weekend with my husband, three year old and one year old and they couldn't have been more accommodating. The food was everything I could have wished for and I am unbelievably jealous my husband works in Chelmsford now I've under covered this gem as it means he can have amazing lunchtime treats. Our marriage is dependent on the doggy bags he brings home! Thank you again for the food but also for your warm hosting. After eating here once I can easily say it's my favourite place to eat in Essex.

We had a lovely meal here on 04/01 and everything was perfect. Tony and Alina are perfect hosts. They were totally engaging explained the food in detail. The Tiramisu is to die for. You need to pre-book as place is not very big.

Tasty veggie breakfast, beautifully presented. Welcoming staff. The only thing that would improve it - in my opinion - would be sourdough bread.

Great little gem of a sandwich shop. Great friendly service and Selection. Come every week with my son who loves the fresh fish finger wraps. Nice weekly offerings too.
