The best restaurants in East of England

Came in for food this afternoon and the new trainee Zack served me, who was very helpful and seemed to be picking things up quite well! Food was delicious as always, lovely vibe at the bar

I’m new to the area, had been in a few times, the food was nice, queuing for a coffee was a first for me, nice place everything was fine, went in the second time asked for poached eggs? Felt like I’d hit a nerve? I was told “we don’t do em”. My friend was shocked, he actually said “a cafe that don’t do poached eggs?” I can understand the we are too busy to faff about, are they not really 100% cafe people? I just thought they wanted a. Easy life? Queue for coffee get your own cutlery, give me an apron I’ll cook it as well!! Shame really could be SO MUCH BETTER! See if it’s improved this summer? It appeared there’s all walks of life uses this cafe maybe it’s not just me who has a gripe with this CAFE. PS I’m not slating the food.

Perfect! Great atmosphere, food and service ± great kids garden to keep kids happy.

Visited the George and Dragon after a nice walk around Castle Acre. We went at lunch time and had a main and dessert. The food was excellent but the service was sub standard. Had to go to the bar to order as we were being ignored, the lady then served the food to us whilst on the phone. Hopefully just a bad day at the office.

Pub was too packed to give a proper score but must have something going for it. Had a quick drink and left

Ambience is very good but food is just average.

Popped in today for fish and chips to take to the beach and eaten out of the paper (no better way to experience the seaside) The fish was huge and beautifully cooked. Batter was tasty and fish thick, long and flaky......perfect! Chips were great too. So much food even the dog got a bit (and she loved it too) Highly recommended and can't wait to return.

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast here, poached eggs on toast and toast and marmalade and coffees. They have cakes and pastries all home made.

With Southend having limited options for halal dining, this is a good choice. The experience the first time I visited was a nice. The food is decent, and the staff on shift were very friendly and welcoming, leaving me wanting to come back. However, my second visit was less impressive. I went with a group of 15 to celebrate my brother's birthday, and the server seemed visibly irritated, both in his facial expressions and tone of voice. Despite this, I wouldn't discourage others from visiting, as the server might have just had a bad day. Overall, I think it's worth trying for a casual meal.

We have enjoyed the Sunday lunch at Morston Hall twice in the last three weeks and have booked again for next month! Just sometimes you get to experience a meal that is absolute value for money. Morston Hall are now doing Sunday lunch for £50. This is a Michelin Star restaurant and they offer a three course meal for £50 - a bargain. The setting is great. You enjoy lunch in a lovely conservatory with all of the little touches that you expect such as bread and canapes. Then on to a three course lunch which is cooked to those Michelin star levels. Service is pleasant and efficient. I could go on to describe all the dishes but do yourself a favour and book it yourself! I reiterate when do you get the chance to enjoy a three course meal at a Michelin Star restaurant for £50? Well done to Galton and the team - you deserve to be fully booked every Sunday - just make sure that we can always get a table though!

Had a great roast yesterday! Complimentary butternut squash soup to start, both mine and my husbands roasts were amazing! Staff were super friendly and attentive! A local place doing it right!

La atención al cliente del personal fue excepcional, el personal de espera y el maitre de fueron atentos y serviciales. Las cenas asadas que pedimos eran geniales, la opción de verdura era muy buena también. La selección de bebidas fue buena. Todos servidos con cuidado. Sin embargo esto no es un “pub de campo”, no hay una zona de bar solo un restaurante extendido montado , con servicio de camarera en el bar. Me sentí como una cadena de mercado. Disfrutamos de un pub inglés montado , donde podemos llegar temprano y disfrutar de unas copas antes de ser llevados a la mesa , y beberlas con mayor comodidad informal.

No puedo comentar sobre la comida, ya que no nos quedamos a comer realmente. Nos fuimos. Puede ser comida decente, pero la gente deja mucho que desear. Reservamos una mesa y llegamos a tiempo después de haber corrido el guante de fumadores hoscos reunidos fuera. Nos dijeron que tomáramos asiento. A algunas personas no reservadas se les dio una mesa por delante de nosotros. La gente era muy desagradable y nadie hizo ningún contacto visual. Después de 15-20 minutos decidimos ir a otro lugar y no volveremos. No importa lo fabulosa que sea la comida no hay excusa para overbooking, mala gestión y grosería

Decent deals always having a laugh and a joke with the customers. Always go here and never disappoint.

Not your everyday pub, the tables were very clean. No sticky residue on the tables unlike other pubs. The chicken roast was great.
