The best restaurants in East of England

This is a fantastic venue. The decor is outstanding. We went here on Mother's day, the staff and food was great and lovely that the owners interact with their guests. Loved the atmosphere will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making Mothers Day so special.

Fabulous little place to stop for a coffee on our dog walk or lunch. Staff are just lovely and always friendly. We stop here a lot and take many friends here on our walks and they all rate this little gem.

First time experiencing Khaya Kitchen! I walk pass it every Thursday with every intention of ordering but today was the perfect day! The brown strew chicken with rice and peas (regular) was enough for the perfect lunch. The festival was tasty too! I was torn between brown strew chicken and curry goat but all the more reason for me to come back! Thank you for your lovely service, friendly smiles and delicious food! Definitely recommend ⭐️

Thank you for helping to make our family celebration a great event. The service was excellent and the hog roast was delicious. We will be booking again!

A wonderful afternoon tea in beautiful surroundings, lovely traditional tearoom and excellent service . Couldn’t fault it . Can’t wait to return.

Had the most amazing steak here for lunch cooked exactly how I like it. Full of flavour and all fresh cooked to order. Wheelchair accessible too. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Visited on Saturday lunchtime with a walking group. Really nice small local cafe - excellent snack type lunch. Friendly, helpful staff/owner. Sensible prices. (Helpful with advance booking, table ready etc - nice to see !!)

This restaurant was recommended and I was shocked by how talented the young chef was… The prawns were meltingly fresh and the quality of the drinks was simply amazing. I was the only diner at lunchtime and I felt Hannah went above and beyond without being intrusive. Next time I will certainly try the fish pie if I can tear myself away from the wonderful shop below it… A real hidden gem 💎

Visited before and always been happy with service and coffee. This time had cake too... most delicious lemon cake... so good went back and had another slice the next day! Coffee very good, purchased coffee beans too, to take home.

Absolutely love this place! Boris is such a kind man with a gentle soul x Food is top quality as well.. not just frozen to frying pan! Definitely a nice place to stop by with a lots of options on the menu!

This was a real gem of a find. Four of us went there for breakfast. We all opted for x items for £x. Big thick slices of proper bread, no plastic stuff here. Beautifully cooked and will definitely go back there again. Staff very pleasant. Sat in the court yard on a lovely sunny morning.

If there’s one thing I know from my first-class days, it’s how to spot top-tier service and great food—and the tapas evening at Cap & Feathers in Tillingham did not disappoint. Four of us touched down for a night of food and fun, and we were in for a treat! Every table was packed, and yet the service was smooth, with friendly staff and that fire roaring away, adding the perfect cosy touch. Now, onto the food: prawns, chilli chicken, beef, and a paella that made us want to stay grounded for more. Those dishes were the stars of the night, bursting with flavour and seriously good value. It’s not every day you find a menu that matches the quality you’d expect at 35,000 feet! A special shout-out to Dave, the chef, who came out for a chat, making sure everything hit the spot. It’s those personal touches that make all the difference. And with the music and buzzing atmosphere, it felt like a full-on fiesta—no turbulence here! Honestly, it was an evening where everything came together perfectly—great food, great company, and even better service. I’ll definitely be booking another seat at this culinary flight!

The stall was selling wraps at a great price comparied to neighbouring stall & my chicken wrap was stuffed full & very tasty. The owner kindly allowed us to sit outside his shop in the market.

Best food van ever. Great food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Highly recommended a visit when you’re in harwich.
