The best restaurants in East of England

My family go to the Blue Rooms Cafe as a treat on occasion. It's a lovely little tea room / cafe with a great menu and friendly staff. It's situated next to a garden centre in Abridge with plenty of parking. It's popular so you might want to book a table.

Great place staff and food all good

Just had the most friendly experience at the parrot & a super Sunday roast,full credit to the whole team

Excellent fish and chips (and scraps) – delicious (and super friendly service) – review needs some more characters (they were walking around as we ate).

Great dishes and even better service .. will not be disappointed , worth the visit and worth the money ... would highly reccomended

Well what can I say…just left this amazing restaurant after enjoying a super meal. From the generous starters to the even more generous main courses the food was awesome. Our server, Margarita, was so welcoming and friendly and knew the menu inside out giving us great recommendations. All in all this has been a most enjoyable dining experience. Many Thanks 🤗

Had a lovely meal for my dad's birthday really enjoyed it there was 16 of us service was really quick and staff was very helpful enjoyed so much came bk the next day highly recommend

We have dined there on several occasions. Food is outstanding and staff are very efficient and helpful. We had a party of 14 family and friends who all very much enjoyed our lunch. We had a various selection of food and all was enjoyed very much with all having three courses.

Cheese missing - felt like it made a big difference.

Lovely old pub with a cosy atmosphere. Delicious food and excellent service. Can really recommend it.

Amazing food, lovely friendly staff. I will definitely be back very soon!!

We went for a meal to the Three Horseshoes and thoroughly enjoyed it. Pie of the day was a very nice beef bourguignon. They also have a large outdoor area.

A very friendly welcome from Steve, he lit a fire & allowed us to dine in the bar by it on a very chilly day which was most thoughtful. The food was amazing, table for 7 on Saturday lunchtime all served together and deliciously good, generous portions. The board games, play area & donkey’s an added bonus. Highly recommend especially for the cozy & traditional atmosphere, coupled with the quality of good food & service make this a must visit

Been waiting patiently for 3 months to try this place and wow we wasn’t disappointed. No probably about it this was the best roast dinner we ( 4 people in agreement ) have ever had. We went easy on starters as heard portions were big. Shared the fried olives which were lovely and very different , some breads with the burnt onion butter ( this butter is like spreading air , delightful) and scallops were excellent. We upgraded for 3 of us to the prime rib and one had the sirloin. Think Rib was £110 complete with trimmings , works out about £5 pp extra against normal sirloin but wow well worth it . The trimmings and Perfectly crisp roasties were in abundance . I have had some lovely roast dinners but there is no way I see this can be beaten , faultless!! Unfortunately a five month waiting list! Michelin star roast without a shadow of a doubt , parking easiest by the abbey near fish pool street👍

Took grandchildren for a meal. Food was lovely, staff attentive and friendly. We've been to the carvery a few times but this was our first midweek visit. Highly recommend.
