The best restaurants in East of England

We were staying local and found this close to where we were staying, the food was amazing, fresh and very tasty. One of the best Indians we have had. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Would definitely go back.

We were in Southwold for the day and wanted a tasty lunch, we had seen the cafe a couple of weeks ago when on holiday and the reviews looked good The cafe certainly didn’t disappoint, we sat at a table under the verandah overlooking the lake with our dog and ordered jacket potatoes with cheese and beans, side salad and coleslaw - it was a beautiful sunny mild day (18C) The potatoes were beautifully cooked with a fluffy hot inside filled with cheese and beans and the salad had a really tasty vinaigrette on it, plus a cappuccino and a tea Happy and helpful staff, serving really good food at a very competitive price made our day and we will return on our next visit to Southwold Thanks to all staff

Our family and friends have been going to the Curry Inn for decades, we love it for their amazing service and their secret weapon. . The chicken Sheraji! Give it a try.

A really lovely country pub with some really delicious food

Great little cafe, we had full English breakfast and can say we weren't disappointed what a plate full even had black pudding.

We had a fantastic meal here last summer everyone enjoyed their food it was full of flavour especially steaks and reasonably priced! Staff were lovely, restaurant is decorated nicely and is comfortable, definitely hope to return soon!

First time here, and I would never go they again, not accommodating at all, the bar lady was friendly and the 2 young girls was nice, the chef was rude, the whole experience was awful 😢 I do t recommend at all

Just stopped on the off chance to get a double espresso and a black coffee I’ll get around a bit. I think a lot of coffee and it’s the best coffee I’ve tasted and I drove out of my way to come again the next day 👍

A great time as always at the Millstone, the food and service continues to impress, so I thought I’d finally say that here!

Brancaster Staithe is a beautiful Harbour with free National Trust carpark and a loo . The Crab Shack sits in the carpark with daily fresh seafood in tubs and sandwiches. Delicious an beautifully presented run by very friendly people. Much better value than some other fresh fish outlets along the coast.

We ate here tonight. The food was excellent. All six of us thoroughly enjoyed our dishes. Great service. Would 100% recommend!

Absolutely love the Potting Shed!! The staff are so friendly and helpful, and the food is always yummy and good value with generous portions. The specials menu changes regularly and often reflects seasonal produce so if you are a regular visitor (like me!) then you have new options to choose from. On this visit, we had a black bean salad with halloumi and a chicken tikka burger. Both were delicious!! I also like to spend some time having a look around the lovely garden centre afterwards too :)

Exellent all round cafe. Had breakfast and was very pleased. Cooked to perfection and good portion sizes will definitely be back.

Good fish and chip shop good choice of food friendly staff. The reason I dropped a star is the chips are soggy and very greasy, I have visited a few times and normally have chicken sushi but decided to try the battered sausage and chips batter was nice and crispy and the sausage was very pale. I would like to advise that if you could cook your sausage then batter it it would look better which in turn would make it look more appealing and the chips just need a couple of minutes more to crisp them up which in turn should drain better. I found that this chippy was hard to get in and out of with my wheelchair but if you order over the phone they will bring your food out to you. Great customer service.

We arrived early for our reservation and were warmly greeted and quickly shown to our table, where we were to meet my brother and his wife. Since it was lunchtime on a Thursday, the restaurant wasn't busy. We were offered drinks, which we happily accepted. Once we were all ready to order, the staff gave us a detailed account of the menu, highlighting that many of the dishes were homemade on the premises. We decided to share a combined starter for four, which was delicious, freshly cooked, and beautifully presented. The main course was also very good and enjoyed by everyone. Although this place is a bit remote, it is worth visiting for a great dining experience.
