The best restaurants in East of England

The landlord was so friendly and accommodating and even opened the kitchen after closing on Sunday. Totally recommend this pub.

I absolutely love this unique cinema and it's restaurant. It has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, superb selection of drinks, food and treats! So much nicer in every way than the large impersonal cinema chains. The food was delicious, amazing roast beef!

Recently returned to this lovely courtyard restaurant whilst visiting Diss The food is truly inspirational. Service is very professional and friend, would highly recommend without hesitation you wont be disappointed .

The food is good here, that wasn't the problem. As with some of the other reviews, we found the old man ( I presume he is the owner ) extremely rude. He came to take our order as soon as we sat down. He didn't ask if we needed more time, he didn't say anything, no greeting, or 'What can I get you?' Just stood with his pad, pencil poised. We had barely had a chance to read the menu or look at the chalkboards so my friend asked if they had crab salad. The old man did not answer, just shook his head vigorously, -no apology offered, or 'No, I'm afraid not' A young lady served our meal, she was perfectly pleasant. As soon as we finished eating the old man came to clear away. He took my friend's coffee and she hadn't finished drinking it. As we wanted dessert we asked what 'crumble of the day' was. He just shrugged and said, 'well, we finish at three here'. It was ten to three, so no dessert for us. The opening times on the website say they close at four. If you have reached an age when you simply want to be an old curmudgeon and feel you can no longer offer your customers a warm welcome, it really is time to retire. Before you wreck your business. The strange thing is, there are many good reviews for The Mulberry Tea rooms. Perhaps they weren't served by him. Perhaps he has good days and bad days. We won't be going back to find out.

Great service, super food, excellent quality now with NEW potato chips too! Service with a chat and smile. Four happy people

Had a lovely delicious Sunday dinner here. The food was perfect.♥️ Staff were friendly and very welcoming One of the nicest pubs in Bedford. Will definitely be going back again.. Thankyou

we got food poisoning from nut roast & after being unable to hold anything dwn since , its now Tuesday. I was screamed st by whoever answered phone & told food poisoning takes 24 / 48hrs before symptoms??? Well personally I was

Really enjoyed freshly cooked, massive portion, and friendly staff. Only issue is that we had to travel from Holbeach to find very good fish and chips. Will definitely return.

Chose to go here as they allow dogs inside and was nice to see the 'help yourself' station to dog bowls, water and a treat jar. Lovely breakfast and friendly staff.

Service very good, drinks expensive. Adult x 4 meals were good, 2 pizza and both linguine. Price reasonable. Kids menu VFM. Drinks expensive :- £36 Prosecco x 1 bottle £7-8 beer x 2 £4 coke x 4 = £70 (4/10 of the £178 bill) Add £13 service charge which we did not mind paying as most of the staff were engaging, pleasant and helpful.

We went to the Mulberry Tree and had a family meal. The venue was relaxed and pleasant. All the staff were excellent, pleasant, polite, prompt and attentive. The food was very good. Will definitely go back. The only very slight negative was the limited vegetarian choices available.

Took my partners parents out for lunch for their anniversary to this pub. Very friendly staff with a fantastic menu. Cannot begin to describe just how good the food was!, meat was cooked to perfection. Was a shame that I was so full I couldn’t enjoy a dessert! Really hoping the pub is doing an xmas lunch as we’ll defiantly be booking if they do

Why I have taken so long to come here I do not know ,has been going for over 40 years. The service was incredible so personal, wine recommendation spot on, the food was amazing . The food is freshly cooked, you can so see this in the taste and presentation , and there was a sweet trolley too !!! My husband and I had such a lovely evening here, will be coming back too

Colin the chef is still at the top of his game and he should be as he recounts working in French restaurants from the age of 16 - he is now 75. So you can taste and appreciate the flavours of his excellent seafood. Restaurant still has very French rustic feel. Do not expect linen and crystal and fine surroundings. Concentrate on the no nonesense food served at great prices and forget the frippery. Bring a smile to his face by paying in cash as he sources his food from local fishermen who prefer the same

Only had a hot chocolate. Female staff handling croissants & then putting them into display cabinets - gloves would be appropriate.
