The best restaurants in East of England

I'm a sushi LOVER, and I have to admit I've walked past this place many times because it didn't look appealing from the outside. Today, I stopped by M&S for a quick sushi snack, but their offering was £6 and looked awful. So, I decided to check this place out, and I was blown away by the freshness of the fish. I got emotional with my first bite 🥹I didn’t realize it could taste this good! My husband and I usually go to Shiki because the owner is Japanese, and the food is great, but this place is way cheaper with flavors that feel much more premium. I mean it! From today this place officially become my new favorite sushi spot! I was the Filipino girl who got a takeaway earlier by the way..free meal perhaps for a lovely review? 😅 On a serious note… I don’t usually write reviews—this is only my second one ever—but this place deserves it. And yes, I know I have red wine in the photo; I’m aware it's traditionally paired with white 😂😂 but I’m just not a fan of white wine…sooo shhh… I'm a red wine lover through and through! Definitely will be coming back again 🥰🥰🥰

Pleasant atmosphere, excellent food with friendly and efficient young staff. Our visit was a very good experience all round. We had a wheelchair user in our party and the facilities were very good - although the gravel car park does pose a minor challenge. Highly recommended.

Very Tasty food and polite staff

We arrived on busy Sunday lunchtime (without pre-booking) hoping for roast lunch..we had our elderly doggie in her pushchair - pub was very busy but the team couldn’t have been more welcoming. Gave us a table with room to accommodate our doggie pushchair and we didn’t feel ‘in the way’ at all…we both had roast beef dinner, unfortunately they’d run out of cauliflower cheese but gave us extra potatoes & veg, everything was really delicious and hot! We will definitely be returning - so good to see a local pub so busy…but not in least bit surprised as they are so friendly & offer delicious food…thanks White Horse Team, keep up the great work - we look forward to returning soon 😊

Slowly going downhill - takeaway only - the portions are getting smaller and smaller. Have eaten in and had takeaways since it opened. Will still eat in but no more takeaways until it improves

Great food and service as always. Busy, which is always a good sign

Very enjoyable evening. Lovely staff, particularly Alan who took time to tell us about the local area. We had skate wings which were very well cooked and absolutely delicious.

Had Sunday lunch here in September 2024 and possibly one of the best roasts I’ve had. The pork was tender and tasty, lots of beautifully cooked veg, but the GF yorkshire pudding really was the icing on the cake! A really welcoming restaurant/ pub with a good layout and fantastic menu which had heaps of choice and so many options for GF. I was super impressed and whilst the food was amazing the service especially was exceptional.

Ordered through Just Eat really great food and all dishes were amazing. Overall great experience from take away and will definitely be ordering again

Been wanting to try Mango-T and glad we went! The food was really good and the staff were great. The food came our relatively fast. They have a big menu and there's a lot to choose from. We definitely want to try more of their food so we are going back for sure.

We visited whilst on holiday in the area. We were greeted by very friendly staff. Although the restaurant was busy, being a Saturday evening, we were not rushed and enjoyed a leisurely meal. My friend is coeliac and the menu offered her lots of choice. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Went here for the first time today and will definitely be back. The cod was fresh and so tasty with a light crispy batter. The chips were possibly the best I’ve had, not overcooked or reheated as I’ve had in other restaurants. A bonus was we could have extra complimentary chips as we made our way through the meal. The place was spotlessly clean and the flower baskets at the front and the lovely garden at the back with rows of begonias were beautiful, all well tended, and a credit to the gardener. Our waitress was polite and efficient and very attentive. All in all a lovely lunch ….. absolutely no complaints

Not only is the one of the two hotspots for gluten free fish and chips in Hertfordshire but the are actually the best chips! I can’t resist making a little detour to pop in if I’m coming from that direction, they are big, with a nice crunch and always fresh. Best eaten straight away and when you do, you’ll finish the lot. Whatever you do don’t change, because your chips are a winner.

Our ‘main guest’ loves fish, MarkG’s was recommended by a friendly takeaway and pub owner so was the first option as the venue. Our party of covered all ages, everyone loved the choices from both the main and specials menus. Service was friendly, attentive and well paced. The food was delicious and well presented. As we left our birthday ‘girl’ was praising her experience and Mark the owner/chef was called over to hear her comments which is a really nice touch. Will be returning, in a smaller party, to try more from the menus. Thanks all the team who made the special day ever more special.

Very friendly place. Good service. Good food
