The best restaurants in East of England

We looked online for opening times but arrived to find it temporarily closed

Visited here when staying at seashore. Great pub, fantastic staff, excellent food. Played bingo one night what a good laugh and also used the pool table and darts. Would definitely recommend and will use again when visiting Great Yarmouth

Really good Italian food here. Wonderful!!

Great food and 1st class service, how anyone could give this restaurant less than 5 stars is beyond me. A genuine hidden gem

I personally think canvey Labthworth Cafe is excellent. You got a welcoming service and the staff are very helpful and friendly Also, there is plenty of choice for food and drinks Plus you have an excellent view from inside the cafe of the sea 🌊 front I rate them with 💯 plus gold stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ plus for service superb

Lovely food and plenty of it. I had a high protein salad. Friendly , happy and helpful staff. Coffee was lovely. I really enjoyed this experience.

Excellent quality food and very tasty. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Amazing salad bowel - lovely service too.

Lunch was underwhelming. Despite only a few diners, service was slow. My £21 courgette tian looked good but lacked flavour, and other dishes were similarly disappointing. My mum’s scallops were gritty and not properly cleaned—she’s had stomach issues since. Plates weren’t warmed, which didn’t help. Overall, the food and service didn’t live up to the setting or the high prices. Also, no hand soap in the toilets—concerning for hygiene. We won't be returning.

The food is always on point, the baps and the sweet treats are 10/10. My only complaint sadly is recently, going on a weekend has become very busy with small children/babies so it can get LOUD, and doesn’t exactly give you the best atmosphere when trying to enjoy your breakfast/lunch after a long working week! Especially for the price, if you’re spending £30 pp for brunch to then be subjected to babies crying etc… doesn’t exactly make you feel relaxed. Which is a shame, as I do love this cafe and think the chefs are very talented, I just don’t love the recent demographic it’s attracted… maybe I’ll try and visit during non peak hours

One of the friendliest coffee shops in town. The food is superb, and the coffee is delicious. I truly love this place and cannot recommend it enough. The staff are so lovely and kind, and they always make you feel welcome.

Poor customer service. Overcharged and wrong food given to me. When queried I was spoken to quite rudely so we did not get the food we wanted.

You may need a mortgage to eat here for a very average meal. I have one of their larger plates lunch specials. The only thing larger was the plate, food portions were small. I shall not be eating here again, much better value and food quality to be had elsewhere and locally!

Attended with work party and had the ham hock to start, a perfectly cooked steak (and chips) as main and a chocolate mousse to finish. The food was fantastic and could tell they care about the food they cook. Staff were amazing and could not be more attentive and friendly. Always on hand to grab drinks and assist with anything needed. The restaurant itself was a great atmosphere and looked great. And was in a perfectly central location.

Lovely restaurant, the food, the service, as a family we love this place.
