The best restaurants in East of England

Lovely evening with the launch of the new Spring Menu. My husband and I have been visiting The Pheasant for the last 5 years and Always have an enjoyable experience. The new menu was inspiring with plenty of choice from pork to duck, fish to steak but it was the great array of starters that I had trouble deciding between. Great service, lovely atmosphere. It was busy but in a way that created ambience over noise. Will happily return.

Make sure you walk in with a smile on your face. Some of the wait staff maybe kinda reactive. A furrowed brow might result in petty behavior thrown your way.

Excellent food, really good choice, staff very welcoming, value for money. We booked late, staying in the area and they very kindly fitted us in

Very friendly staff, can’t fault the initial service.

Had lunch with a friend having been recommended to this restaurant- lovely friendly staff and quaint old building and very nice lunch

Absolutely brilliant night service atmosphere and food amazing booked to go back next month highly recommend

Wow!!!! Smashing , Jucy and what it says on the tin. Well done for a great value eat and nice people. Great selection and great value AND FRESH!

Had a nice meal on Saturday night waitresses were nice and polite and helpful definitely will go again

This place was a really nice find on a March Friday evening for a middle-aged but youthful couple visiting Lowestoft. Our B&B recommended the place next door (pink neon lights, fishbowl look), not for us! But right next door is a 'proper' nice pub. Comfortable, clean, and most of all, very welcoming. As soon as we were halfway to the bar, we got a cheery "hello" and "what can I get for you, are you going to be eating" I'm a bit grumpy when people are overly (falsely) friendly. But the young man and young woman who served us got it just right. Left us alone when wanted, and were quick to respond when we asked. The food is simple, (we had "chicken in a bucket') but the portions are good (but not wasteful) and really tasty and fresh. We've never been to Lowestoft before and probably never will again as we were here for a very specific reason, but our visit to this lovely pub turned a 'functional visit to the town into a pleasurable meal/night out. Thank you

Every time we try to eat here it's closed. Unable to leave no stars. Will not try again. Their loss.

Very good pub in Woodbridge. Recommended.

Great pub, great staff, perfect spot for chilling and they have a great little sun trap at the front and round the back of the pub. They do BBQ and it's a perfect place to relax with friends..

Everyone should go here just for the milkshakes. We even had an extra milkshake instead of dessert because they are soooo good. Rayna May was a friendly, efficient, knowledgeable waitress. The place was really clean and comfortable. The food was very reasonably priced. My salad was amazing, my friend really enjoyed her burger and did I mention the milkshakes 🤣🤣🤣

Lana our waitress was amazing. Excellent service and food was very good. Excellent value for money. Lovely family, country pub vib. Would visit more if there was a small children’s play area or something to accommodate children in the garden area.

Took the grandchildren to the Merrivale model village which was excellent. We ordered a large bowl of chips each at £5.40 I'd hate to see a normal size portion. When we asked for some vinegar we were told they had been busy and had run out. We then had to eat a dry bowl of chips, fortunately not to many! They had also run out of toilet paper which we did tell the staff about, to prevent customer distress.
