The best restaurants in East of England

Lovely coffee and cookies! Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely setting. Would highly recommend. Have tried various coffees and all are excellent 😊

Nice clean restaurant with a variety of food options. Kid named Alin took my order and was I was very impressed by the quality of the service.

The best Pakistani / Punjabi food I’ve ever tasted! Would highly recommend the saag! 😍

Arrived at twelve thirty and were told they were not ready asked us to come back. Asked if we could have a bubble tea at least the answer was no. Vintage car show on that day.... they should have ready and waiting for customers..

We had a wonderful lunch at Cheerful Chai. It was relaxing and the food and service were fantastic. The food was freshly cooked and hot. The menu was great. Most importantly, the cakes all looked delicious and tempting!! I selected the carrot cake, which was lovely, but I was tempted to go back for more!! (I resisted, because I was full!). We didn’t feel in any way rushed, even though it was busy and near to closing time. Cheerful Chai is a great asset for Broomfield, although I’m quite sure people travel here from further afield.

Good food from Bari, execellent portions, crisp service and very authentic. The panzerotto in the oven, Calzone style is superb value at approximately £5!!!! Great service and staff b or tri-lingual. Nice atmosphere. Fab range of food on menu and very modern Italian cooking, unlike some restaurants in Bedford and environs. Well done! Bravissimi tutti! Maggie

This is by far and away the best pizza locally. Probably the best pizza nationally. Highly recommended. Tastly perfect sauce not at all greasy. The dough is to die for!!

Sadly disappointed. Wanted a couple of pots of whelks but advised we’re still frozen. As were the prawns & cockles. It was 1pm.Chise to have a bag to go. While waiting asked for 2 oysters to enjoy at the small stand up table. Oysters were opened and prepared and offered to me on nothing. I asked if there was a plate and after waiting the oysters were again offered this time on top of a square metal pot of ice. They were delicious. I also noticed how other customers had the same frozen issues with one electing to have crab/fish sticks. The sticks were picked up by hand and bagged as the gent serving did not seem to know another way.

It is not bad as a community place to help many people in need. The food and drink was nice but ee would like our meals close to same time.

The bar staff were very polite , fast and friendly Food was excellent There was always enough staff all the time Jodie was exceptional She made amazing Espresso Martini

If the managers reading this can you comment on when you are likely to reopen for the public, particularly for the plants.

What a truly fabulous old fashioned pub with very welcoming landlady Anni and her customers, especially Janet and Peter, when we joined in Quingo yesterday afternoon. It was thrilling to win the picture quiz. The room was warm and cosy due to its great wood burner stove. The complimentary sandwiches were an added bonus! Thank you so much for the welcome and will join you all again in the New Year.

We finished here because there is no real Mexican restaurants in Cambridge, but only 10 min away from Cambridge we fell in love with this cosy place with a very tasty food and even a better service. We will definitely come back. Pd: pork tacos is a must!

Top quality 5* food. Delicious, stunningly presented, hot and perfectly cooked. Amazing waiting staff too. Thank you 👍
