The best restaurants in East of England

We visited recently and were impressed with the reviews. We had a variety of dishes from Prawns in garlic and olive oil , Spanish potatoes, tortilla omelette, Padron peppers were all good but unfortunately two large paella’s were not cooked enough and the rice was crunchy. Also the fillet pork was overcooked and tough. The wine was excellent and good value for money. I thought the decor was a little basic and lighting was to too bright. A little more ambiance please. I did complain about the paella but I was brushed away and was told it that’s how it should be! Mmmm I’ve been eating Paella for nearly 50 yrs all over Spain. A good Paella has a crust on the base of the pan this was undercooked.

What a great find! Beautiful well cared for plants trees etc. Great cafe with inside & outside seating. We had a breakfast & it was one of the best we've had! Freshly made local ingredients & lovely & hot. Reasonable prices too & lovely staff. Well worth a visit, we will definitely be going back. Thank you. Fabulous big carpark which looked like it was soon to be resurfaced. A little more signage on the road leading to it may be an advantage.

Food is not bad. And ambience is nice. Just a bit slow service but it was alright as on Tuesday there were barely any people

First class food, excellent service

Lovely place with good food and good atmosphere.

I reserved a table for 12pm (yesterday) meeting my friend outside the restaurant. She told me the restaurant is shut! I was stunned so I went inside to get some answers they told me they sprung a “leak” in the kitchen and had to shut. Whilst the staff inside were laughing joking around. A staff member apologised to me but they had my phone number and email address so they could of had the decency to tell me reservation has been cancelled. I won’t bother coming here again.

Local pub with amazing staff and wonderful food ..

Very nice atmosphere and tasty food

We have started to come regularly to the Carpenters with our 2 little girls. We always feel very welcomed, even with small kids. The staff is wonderful and very caring. The pizzas are delicious (the dough is simply perfect and the menu has a large choice of pizza and other dishes, as well as a great kids menu). The atmosphere is relaxed and there is a good selection of board games, and even a few colouring books for kids!

Good Italian place in a small town

Great range of beers. Have to book for food though

The food was excellent and good value. Very well presented and a quiet homely environment. Good service and friendly staff.

The nicest team and the most delicious food. We usually get the penne arrabiata and vegetali pizza and it’s consistently delicious. The team are just the sweetest. Please don’t change food/service :)

Excellent experience for 4 of my colleagues and myself. From start to finish, the greeting as we entered, immediate seating available despite being busy, attentive staff, the food was freshly prepared and delicious and the farewell at the end made it an overall excellent choice.

Love this cafe. Had a bacon roll which was really good. Nice coffee too. Friendly staff.
