The best restaurants in East of England

Another lovely meal at the cod & Waffle great service and amazing gluten free options

Visited on a busy Wednesday night. Heard that, unfortunately, this place will be closing soon. Which is a shame because the burritos are amazing - one to share in our case.

Excellent food and service would recommend staff friendly, good value, will be going back for sure good surroundings dog friendly.

Looks a bit tatty from the outside to be honest, but a proper old pub inside. Great selection of beers and ciders, which I couldn't unfortunately sample as I was driving, but I got told (numerous times) by the other members of our large party... Food was just good pub stuff, fish and chips, burgers, chilli etc - but my partners whitebait was some of the best I've ever had. Simple food but well made with fresh ingredients, easy really.

I paid just under £5 for a small cup containing approximately 10 chips from the snack menu. I felt cheated and taken advantage of by this miserly portion. I went to one of their other Deben Inn pubs a few days before (Kings Head) and the portions were huge by comparison. There is no consistency or comparison on value for money and whomever decides on the portion sizes at the Fox is taking advantage of customers and needs pulling up on this. The coffee cup is bigger than the bowl in which the chips were served! Outrageous! See photo.

Honestly amazing restaurant food is really good but what makes it stand out from the rest is the amazing staff that are very kind and deliver brilliant service if you ever go to Southend try this restaurant trust me it will be worth it.

My first meal here was for a special occasion. The food was amazing. Great portion size too. 4 meals, 3 deserts and 3 drinks just over £100. Service was great too.

Our 1st day in the UK and we decided to go out for some beers and a bite to eat. We came upon The Unicorn, lovely place and super friendly people. When we decided to finally eat we found out the kitchen had closed up an hour before. The owner Deb asked if we liked pizza and literally called a place down the road and booked us a table for 2 and then drive us there.amd walked us inside to make sure they took care of us. After eating we walked back just to hang out and drink with the locals and thank Deb. I highly recommend stopping in, having a pint and saying hi!

Flujo constante cuando llegamos, pero nuestra camarera, Shaunah, era increíble moverse alrededor de sus mesas y todavía estar atento. La comida estaba deliciosa y mi pequeña estaba muy contenta con su comida, afirmando que estaba rellena antes del postre, pero no podía resistir el tentador carrito de helados. Iré de nuevo.

Food and service of great. We had a great meal. Had elderly mum with us, and they were perfect with her. Even gave her a free drink for her birthday. 2 for 1 drinks until 8pm. Great place to go.

Small portions and one dish was all out and in the bottom of the bag!! Not impressed!!

Great little cafe in a lovely spot. Staff are so friendly. Highly recommend 😊

Excellent choice for a pre theatre dinner. Had the two course set meal before 7pm. This had a big choice, the food was really good with big portions. Excellent value for money. Service was very polite and happy. Thoroughly recommended thanks.

We've been meaning to come for ages, it was definitely worth the wait, and we won't leave it so long next time! The lunchtime set menu was amazing value for money (even tho we were greedy and went for an extra dish!) We had the chorizo (perfection), whitebait (superb), prawns, tortilla, jamon y queso patatas, cerdo iberico, almond & lemon tarts - all were absolutely authentic, flavoursome and hit the Spanish spot perfectly. Marie was a wonderful hostess and looked after us impeccably. We'll be back very soon and hopefully it will be sunny enough to enjoy the garden and have the full Spanish experience! Thank you all.

Excellent service and food was exceptional. Good selection of food for all including vegetarians. Would definitely visit again.
