The best restaurants in East of England

Great crab sandwich Service friendly Big problem No Toilets

Lovely village pub with local ales and beer garden. Plenty of parking spaces for visitors. Very friendly helpful staff.

Delicious tacos, lovely new years eve meal

Dropped on this restaurant while at the Travelodge and it was just great. Lovely clean, welcoming place serving super tasty Indian cuisine with great friendly service. Best meal for a while and very reasonable, thank you guys 👍

The sausage and burger were nice. Chips were cold and dried up. The delivery man knocked on the wrong door to deliver our food. I saw him and opened my door to shout that we were here. He said the wrong number. No apologies just gave me my food and walked away. I’m pleased I did look out for him as he didn’t ask me for the delivery code which means if the other people did answer the door he would have just given them the food without asking for a code. I thought that’s what the code was for????

We were very disappointed that again, on our second visit to Okka for lunch, the front of house staff showed an incredible lack of awareness of my wife's Gluten and Dairy intolerances despite having made this clear when booking a table and then at the point of giving our order and finally at the moment the food was delivered to the table. We made it very clear to the server that the choice of dishes from the set 2 course menu for my wife needed to be both Dairy and Gluten free and checked with her if this was understood. On the arrival of the food it became immediately clear (fortunately) that they had completely ignored this request and had a served up the meal complete with a standard pitta bread and rice cooked with butter. When this was pointed out to the waiter he looked completely nonplussed and had to be told to go back to the kitchen to confirm that the pitta was GF and the rice was simply plainly cooked without dairy. The plate was eventually returned without both rice and pitta and without any apology for getting it wrong. After 10 minutes a side plate of GF bread was brought to the table BUT STUPIDLY COMPLETE WITH A PACK OF FULL DAIRY BUTTER! So sorry but this lack of understanding of even the simplest allergen requirements, both front of house in the kitchen causes grave concern and the lack of training needs to be urgently addressed by the management before serious harm occurs to a customer.

Great friendly restaurant, excellent choices on the menu, with the added bonus of the special on the blackboard, good portion sizes, great tasting food, and the puddings, rice pudding and jam all I can say is wow, 10 out of 10, highly recommend.

Spend my Christmas Day and dinner at the half crown this year. I’ve been a regular customer for 20 years and this was the first time. I can honestly say the food was excellent, the value for money and service was exceptional. Tess and her team worked tirelessly for the whole day. It was a lovely day and I would recommend anyone to try Christmas or any other day at The Half Crown.

Had another amazing meal last night. It was extremely busy but the service and food were first class. We pre ordered the leg of lamb it was incredible. We have been going here for years and have never had a bad meal. Well done to all the staff.

Food was exceptional great taste Staff were brilliant couldn’t do enough Will definitely recommend to family and friends Top notch team and great place

We’ve been out of the country for a couple of years but this lovely country pub still retains all its character and charm. Always a warm welcome, and the mulled wine was a highlight. Merry Christmas everyone at Team Greyhound

Best foodspot in Watford. Customer friendly services. Customer satisfaction 100%. Highly recommend.

Probably the best burger joint in all of London. Forget about the hype and TikTok, check this place if you want your cravings satisfied. Thank you guys for the awesome burgers

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at The Elm. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel most welcome by the fantastic staff. The bar/restaurant is absolutely gorgeous - very well designed, lovely decor and immaculately clean and tidy. The bar was very well stocked and the bar staff were beyond helpful. When we checked in to our room we were delighted with it. Very well decorated, spacious and with a superb en-suite. We had a lovely coffee machine in our room with plenty of pods and a mini fridge stocked with milk and water. We stayed for two nights and had breakfast and dinner on both nights too. The full English was delicious! Nothing was too much trouble and it was lovely to have the chef come to your table and serve the wonderful food he cooked. The evening meals were also delicious and cannot be faulted. Special recognition should go to the fantastic bar staff that couldn’t do more for us to make our stay a complete joy. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I would thoroughly recommend The Elm for a stay - the building is absolutely stunning and it is set in a picture perfect area. Thank you to all who worked over the weekend, you are a credit to your employer!

Had a nice meal with friends at the Alberto Lounge. We weren't able to book a table for the 5 of us because our group wasn't big enough so I was a bit surprised to see tables for 4 reserved when we arrived. Despite being quite busy we managed to find a table upstairs and ordered using the app. There is WiFi available but you'll need to provide all your darkest secrets to get access - and then enter them all again when you register for the app. I should have ordered at the bar. The food was good and arrived fairly quickly despite how busy it was. The highlight for me was the sherbet lemonade drink - that was lush!
