The best restaurants in East of England

We had a company Christmas meal for twelve today. Everything was perfect. The food excellent, service quick but not hurried, fantastic friendly and helpful staff. Good wine list for those that drank and overall a wonderful experience. Planning to return for next Christmas but plan to visit well before then with friends and family.

Worst experience ever avoid guys is all a scam from the stake to the service nothing that you order come as you order service took to long i mean all a scam avoid all coast and very expensive

Good food and great service from Elle.

Always a great place to eat , relax and buy a few local produce quality items 👍

Visited Today, Saturday 28th, 7 adults & a cockapoo, Christmas treat for the family, wonderful meal in a lovely pub, staff brilliant, food as always, amazing ! Thoroughly recommend this place

Delicious Suffolk chorizo and local cheese baked potato served with a great cuppa! Our dog was made very welcome and the service was great.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Friendly, helpful staff. Great old country pub.

The best fish and chip I've had in years. The batter was light and crispy the fish was cooked to perfection and the chips was tasty without a bitter after taste. I would recommend the chippy and give a score 💯 You have to try it for yourself and thank me later.

I visited columbia this last weekend on the Friday evening, I was appalled to see a blond waitress completely intoxicated and reeking of alcohol. Her speech was completely slured and was being very Abrupt and loud infront of my kids...which put me off eating here again. Hair not tied back as is a must due to food health and hygiene laws. Appalled by management to allow it. Food was standard. The other service we received from other staff members were attentive..however seemed rather understaffed for a friday night as had to wait a while for the bill and when it did finally come some of the prices were wrong which I did correct with another staff member, who was lovely and thank me for my honesty. As we went to pay at the bar we got ignored by the same unexpectable staff member until another staff member took our patment and as we were leaving we heard the intoxicated staff member say just f**k off from behind the bar. Disgusting behaviour!

Lovely venue, friendly efficient staff, great food. Ordered steak and was given a steak knife, didn’t need to use it as steak so tender. Lovely choice of desserts. A bit on the expensive side for a pub but we will definitely return.

Had a family emergency making us unable to attend the booking and was charged £20 per person cancellation fee. Disgusting in this economy. Conveniently the notice telling you of the £20pp fee is conveniently down the bottom of a huge T&Cs list Edit - Have been now and changed review as food was really nice! However service was not and head manager quite rude and snappy, put a damper on our night. Not surprised really from the passive aggressive undertone of the reply on my previous review insinuating that I did not have a family emergency. Place is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside - has an adjoining room with extra seating too.

I have been to many Indian restaurants, but this byfar was the best. In fact traveling back from my home this Friday, (Manchester) to Basildon & will definitely being going to this restaurant on Saturday. Adam & his team are first class. The food is beautiful 😍

Always great service staff and food

Went with my wife and found the restaurant is beautiful inside! We had abit of everything and I can honestly its one of the best Turkish restaurants I've eaten at. Came down from Milton Keynes and will definitely be visiting again with family and friends :)
