The best restaurants in East of England

Has this place closed, been trying to order for months. Did order months back and wanted to try more

I've been to sweet tea several times since moving to sawston and I love it. The people that work there are super friendly, I'm moving out of sawston soon but I'll be back just to go to sweet tea, particularly enjoy their breakfasts which are great value as well as quality

Lovely café on the High Street, close to riverside walks. Friendly staff, clean and attractive environment. Very tasty food served in generous proportions at moderate prices. What more could one want?

We stayed at this hotel the day of returning to the UK. On arrival at the hotel, again we were greeted from a lovely young lady and Otis was there and remembered us. The lady booked us a table in the restaurant. As dinner was booked for 7.45pm, we decided to have our usual starters on arrival in the bar. Again the prawns were amazing. On arrival at 7.45 for our table, we were greeted by a lovely lady (we found out later that her name was Zara) The man who took our order had served us two years ago and we knew his service was good. I was a bit dubious in ordering because the last two years there was a problem with my meal ( the first visit lasgane was cold, last year my steak come up with balsamic vinegar all over the plate). But, we were hungry and wanted to finish our holiday with a nice meal. A young man (later found out he was called Tom) and a young girl brought over our food. My husband had burger, which looked really good. My lasgane was absolutely covered in parmesan cheese, which is an extra that you are usually offered in restaurants. I refused to eat it as I do not like parmesan cheese and it should have been offered. Tom and the young girl didn't know what to do and said that they would take it back to kitchen to see what could be done. Also, i refused to eat my fries as they were to accompany my lasgane. The first waiter came over to see what problem was, he went away and returned to say they were cooking a fresh lasgane with fries. My husband ate on his own. Zara came over. She was very apologetic and told us that Tom had told her i was refusing to eat it. She said that the meal and drinks were on the management as a mark of apology. She was nice. We thought she was a manager because of the way she handled the situation. She said she was a supervisor. She came over to check on us a couple of times with more apologies. As she had solved the issue, we were ok. But still very unhappy that something had gone wring for third year on the trot. And yet again, my husband had to eat on his own. We were never offered anything for the previous mistakes. Apart from Zara this time, which we thank her. We advised Zara that for our first night at the hotel (25th September) poor Tom was the only one running food in the bar. We said how well he had done and felt sorry for him. She said she would look into that as he shouldn't have been on his own. We are travelling the same time next year and always like to stay in an airport hotel. We want to stay here again, but we are worried that the food will go wrong again.

Food and Staff 10/10, I recommend 😁

The restaurant is small and sparsely decorated but the food was truly delicious- there was not one thing that I tasted there that wasn’t excellent- I don’t live far and will try the take away menu on another occasion- but would highly recommend

I had the Smoked sweet potato and falafel wrap with tahini etc. and it was very good. I initially thought that £8 was a bit steep, but it was worth it; the wrap was crammed full and I had to take the last quarter home to finish it. Yum.

My partner and I popped into plates on the off chance they had space on a Friday night, luckily they had space! we were actually on our way to an Indian restaurant around the corner, and I am so glad we took a chance on plates. They had a set meal (including meat) for £48pp and I must say it was well worth the money! We had to take our food away because it was so much. The flavours were incredible, we loved trying Pani puri- such a fun experience, all of the meat dishes were so tender and delicious. I don't have a bad thing to say! The stand out dishes were the tortilla, chicken curry, greens & paneer, and the rice, poppadoms and naan were better than I have ever tried before! Service was amazing, we loved the personal touch, to be able to speak with the owner & chef. If you have tried plates for brunch, you must try their Indian plates! Incredible- coming from someone who generally is not a fan of Indian food..

Good venue run by & for special needs staff.

Best coffee I have had this year, great sourdough toasties and picked up a couple of great vinyl LP’s too. Friendly staff.

Good food, great service, reasonable prices

The food was very tasty, they were the best wings I have ever had, I will visit this place often and recommend the others They deserve the 5 stars

Honestly the service, food and atmosphere was spot on. The service was friendly and efficient and they personalised each table. The roe buck it’s self is amazingly decorated mixing old and new with French style menu, my french onion soup was superb - don’t take it off!! Thank you

This is the best cafe in Bedford. Lots of selection and there is something for everyone. Good service with a friendly atmosphere. You won't be disappointed and you will find your be returning. Can't wait till tomorrow. Great guys.

3 of us had lunch here. We all chose something different and each dish was great. Everything was lovely and fresh. The soup was homemade with a generous portion of bread. The sandwich from the specials was accompanied by two types of salad as was the sausage roll. The service was efficient and friendly too. I highly recommend.
