The best restaurants in East of England

Just had a nice dinner with my friend, we shared the gyros chicken club and we loved it. The costumer service was excellent, Edison and Mimis made sure we got the best experience of the Greek taste.

Good quality food and reasonably priced, staff were lovely and helpful..

Great quick fry up at reasonable prices!

Great Greek food served by lovely staff. The Vegan options and Vegan Mezze box is delicious!

We went early New Year’s Eve staff very friendly food and service great will visit again soon

Lovely as always, staff are really good, friendly and helpful x

Used to go here a lot but haven't been for a while as the order system is a bit weird you can't just order when you ready like everywhere else you are put on a list and have to wait your turn.We went there today but left without eating as the lady in charge was rude we have noticed before that she's rude but thought we'd give it a go .such a shame as the food is lovely .

Great food here, with pleasant staff & atmosphere 😁

The place is absolutely amazing! The food was prepared quickly and it tasted great; would definitely recommend this place if you're ever hungry in the area. As to the service, the best I ever had. The owner is really kind and helpful, and I was able to have a great conversation with him; and I hope more people can come here and appreciate this restaurant so it can get the recognition and business it deserves! Will definitely be coming back here if I come back to Southend!

I visited The Waggon & Horses last night with a group of 11. It was my first visit, although others in the group had been before. On arrival, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The woodburner was alight, creating a lovely, warm, and cosy atmosphere that made us feel at home. Once seated, our pre-ordered food arrived quickly. I had the lasagne, which was delicious, homemade, and very cheesy – the perfect lasagne. It came with chips, salad, and coleslaw, all in very generous portions, for a very reasonable price of £15.95. Several in our group had the Beef Stroganoff, which looked amazing, had very large portions, and was 100% homemade. Not a single complaint from anyone at the table! Somehow, we all managed to squeeze in dessert too (all homemade). I had the Toffee and Pecan Pavlova – it was so sweet and creamy, I couldn’t fault it. The staff remained friendly and attentive throughout our meal. This was my first visit, but it definitely won’t be my last. The Waggon & Horses is everything a good local country pub should be and more. I’m looking forward to returning in the spring/summer to enjoy the beer garden.

Called Friday just gone to check if could place an order for Saturday (yesterday), was told they don’t take orders on a Saturday, so travelled on the Saturday for 4.45pm to find out it’s shut! No idea why, says open from 4.30pm, and wasn’t told anything when called the day before, absolute waste of a journey, need to communicate correctly opening times so don’t waste people’s time in travelling for no reason, ended going to The Frying machine which was open, please communicate opening times, or at least say on phone when we spoke on the Friday

Came here for lunch and honestly it might be one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten.

Excellent food, friendly helpful staff!! Fantastic food and great veggie options too

Came on the off chance that they could fit us in, which we did. I had the pan fried bream and it was the best fish I had ever eaten. The staff were really nice and professional. The portions were an OK size and they were a decent price. The seating was nice and inviting and the decor was really nice. We visited twice and as I was visiting, the bream will be forever in my dreams.

Had a lovely roast dinner with the family! Food was spot on and service was fab. Couldn’t fault it!
