The best restaurants in East of England

Came here with friends for a Sunday roast and am so pleased we chose here! The staff were so accommodating … from making sure there was access for our friend with a broken leg, to keeping the kitchen open late for us. Nothing was too much of an ask! The food was also outstanding … never seen four roasts polished off so quickly. Absolutely delicious. What a hidden gem, will definitely be back!

A small bakery inside the Chelmsford Market. Unassuming. They didn't have the cream puff swans that tempted me here, but they did have something that looked like (to my US eyes) a light chocolate ice cream sandwich. I was told the filling is Belgian buttercream, sandwiched between two shortbread cookies. Absolutely delicious, and decadent. Better than a cream puff swan.

I had a lovely vegan and gluten free meal at The Vegan Way, inside The Natural Way Independent Health Store today. All vegan food and massive choice and so tasty. The person I spoke with was super knowledgeable about all the ingredients in the foods. Lovely people. Lovely food. 10/10, would totally recommend!

Lovely Cosy Cafe down Market Row (DownLeftHandSide) Friendly and professional Family run business With Lovely food to enjoy or just a Brew and Cake, everything served is just Great. Even the Limited edition Fairy Looking forward to my next visit Thank you

They have the BEST paninis in St Albans! They also do a delicious vegan panini option. My sons say they have amazing milkshakes and my husband adores their sausage and bacon baps. Set in a fabulous park for the kids (also very dog-friendly) - suitable for all the family. Go visit!

Amazing food, wonderful staff. Such fantastic service and the food was outstanding. A must visit for anyone who likes Italian and Brilliant service.

I am a food inspector. I really liked the food, I had a chicken kebab and cheesy chips with a salad and a rubicon mango. There was a seating area which was very clean. The man at the counter was really respectful and we had a very good chat. You can tell that he has been in the industry for a long time as he is very professional and it is a pleasure to have him in the Wheathampstead area. The food was cooked to perfection and seasoned very well. The chicken kebab had a really indulgent signature sauce and the salad portion was very generous. The chili sauce had a good amount of spice and wasn't watery like other places. The cheesy chips were fresh and the cheese was of good quality and you could tell that the cheese was not cheap. The chips were well fried and the portion was very big. The wait time was very good. Overall, I believe the quality of the food was stupendous and I think that if you are in the area you should get some food.

We would just like to say a huge 'Thank you' to all the staff who were involved with organizing the reception following our mother's funeral. The food was superb, varied and plentiful and tea and coffee was served all afternoon. The views were beautiful over the golf course and the seating was comfortable and spacious. We particularly liked the screen where we were able to show pictures from our mother's life. A special mention must go to Helen who discretely and professionally took care of us. Thank you. We highly recommend.

We hired these guys to do our wedding breakfast. We had a New York theme and wanted to have a relaxed day with nothing too fancy so we decided on pizza. Heard great reviews so went ahead. The weather was beyond awful and the team struggled to cope. I was always worried it would rain and reassured they would set up the tent as close to the marquee as possible so the guests wouldn’t get wet. They couldn’t set up the tent because of the wind, something that hadn’t been considered. Overall they tried hard with the pizzas, cooking them then running them into the marquee but it was a shambles and people waited ages for pizza. In the meantime they ran out of side salads when we were only halfway through serving. I had ordered salads for 80 and was reassured it was enough food. We had 70 guests and still ran out only feed half of them. Embarrassing to say the least. We had to ask our evening caters to start serving early! When I wrote to them after the wedding to say thank you but i was disappointed I was simply told the guests eat too much not leaving enough for others.

this is a great place to have a cake or sandwich and the food is amazing and beautiful and cakes are out of this world the staff are really friendly

Beautiful lodge in a peaceful surrounding.We stayed for a week in The Florence lodge.The lodge itself had everything you needed. The hot tub wasn’t quite hot enough so messaged the Elton Furze team. Lisa messaged back straight away and came to have a look. She explained the temperature is always set at 38 degrees but turned it up 39 degrees. This was better but it did soon cool down. We did not let this impact our break at all. Visited lots of surrounding villages and towns and ventured into Peterborough. Would highly recommend staying at Elton Furze and would definitely come back.

Bored with the same old lunch every day at work or home and looking for something exciting, tasty and 100% personally made? There's only one option...... Cd's Sandwiche Bar - Braintree. Freshly made Monday - Friday - sandwiches, baguette, rolls, breakfast & salads + more!! Order from your mobile and have a freshly made lunch delivered straight to your door, or while at work, pop in and greet the friendly staff and enjoy the wonderful aroma from the food being prepared, all while you wait. Not just food, hot & cold drinks are available, snacks too. Dietary requirements catered too (no pun intended) Catering orders are no problem for Cd’s - no order too small. Today's order for myself and daughter was a delicious corned beef baguette and mature cheese baguette. Recently been treated to fresh chicken baguettes but fancied something different and was not disappointed! Oh..... They also offer rewards for return customers, simply ask for a "stamp card" fill it up and get rewarded - see in store for more info or give them a call. In my honest opinion, there's no other place I'd choose for my lunch than Cd's Sandwiche Bar. Thank you as always guys

My favourite mr whippy ice cream anywhere- and some nice scooped ice creams too. Plus nice coffees and really nice decent sandwiches at a very reasonable price. Lovely views while the kids can play in the playground.

I only ever come to Orchids for mt fried breakfast. Good quality food, tasty, authentic, well priced and cosy atmosphere. I’ve just visited for Thursday night Tapas and what a revelation! Thanks Simon, great venue, food and hospitality! 👍👍

Can never fault them. Always friendly and always consistent with their food. And I've tried a handful of different things from their menu. If you haven't tried their new menu, you have to try their smoothies. Their mango smoothie tastes like summer and is my new addiction.I often get their stuff to take away and am never disappointed
