The best restaurants in East of England

anhar was fantastic the food was delicious and the the service was very fast overall we had a splendid and lovely evening, will definitely be returning

A nice pleasant cafe very polite fresh food good cup of tea.

I'm sorry here but I find this more with our pub food nowadays, they are tending to sway too far towards a-la -carte dishes. All four of us said the same about the accompanying salads , they just never went with the main, the chips, huge lumps of potato, just far to much, the Rib eye steaks which we asked to be rare to medium turned up like well done minute steaks, no fat in or around the meat at all, more like a thin lean sirloin. The service was good, no complaints there. Sorry, not for us this time.

Omelette was very tasty and my boy loved the pastry

We picked up a meal deal in the early morning then had lunch there later. Friendly staff and good food. Very well priced. The sandwiches on granary bread were stuffed full of filling and the bread was fresh, soft and just gorgeous. The lentil and bacon soup was wonderful too. Highly recommended. Support small local businesses and give the expensive pubs a miss. 😊

A fabulous time at The Real Greek in Braintree Village. Great food. Great drink. Great company and great staff. Thank you. We'll be back. Thank you Ellie.

Went to watch my brothers band play here. Lovely old fashioned corner pub. Comfy with a decent range of beers. Dog friendly. Great Pizza menu.

The Load of Hay is a Watford Jewel that has become a second home for me and my partner since we moved to the area. The atmosphere, the customers, the staff and especially the landlady Julie are what makes this pub an absolute joy and treasure in the local area. Supporting your local businesses are important, and the Load of Hay is the family pub that will always look after you. So many fun events to attend including Karaoke night and Blankety Snatch. If you haven't been to the Hay yet, then make sure you put it on your radar when you're next in the area and say hello to everyone!

Great beer and friendly bar staff. Food took a very long time to come around 50 minutes. Barman was very apologetic and gave me a free beer.

Having walked past this establishment many times when visiting the numerous charity shops in Bungay, and observing patrons enjoying an enticing looking afternoon tea, my wife’s birthday was the perfect opportunity to try out this tearoom. The helpful waitress asked us to choose our sandwiches from the menu for our lower tier, and then a scone (savoury or sweet) from another varied selection, and finally a cake from the display on top of a nearby cabinet. Whilst of all these items were prepared in the kitchen, our hot drinks were brought to the table for us to savour. The waitress then brought out the afternoon tea stand filled with our food, and a very nice touch was the birthday candle on the cake on the top tier of the stand. The food was very nicely presented and more importantly tasty, the décor of the establishment was quirky but quaint, and the vintage crockery and champagne flutes completed the experience. Would we come here again? Most definitely yes.

Won't rush back...Poppadoms stale,old and to the point of being soft,Prawn puree absolutely tastless and bland,mains passable just..won't go back..

Always a great atmosphere, the best cocktails in Norwich from talented mixologists, love this place, and now they serve fab Brazilian food, we tried it and were not disappointed, roasted chorizo, patatas bravas, meatballs, croquettes were all fresh and tasty, another great night out.

Fantastic base to explore the area and a quick hop to Cambridge and the brilliant Park and Ride service.The hotel is very clean and very friendly.We have stayed here many times and can heartily reccomend it, plus there is a great supermarket just opposite for all your supplies.

Excellent food, staff and atmosphere.

Another great experience here, food outstanding as usual... So consistency; which is what we're looking for. Highly recommend.
