The best restaurants in East of England

Great place for a quick bite, the few times we have been here is for brunch and both times we have had avocado with pumpkin seeds and chilli oil and poached eggs on toast, delicious would recommend. The staff are always helpful and have a smile on their face. Thank you 😊

My partner and I chose here due to the signage outside. The service was good. You have to pay before u eat. They accept cash and card. The meal was nice. . I had a large cod, chips, and a mug of tea. The fish was meaty and plentiful. The chips were a little disappointing. My partner had 2 fish cakes, chips, and mushy peas with a mug of tea. She again said nice meal but chips were disappointing. With other alternatives around, the quality of chips needs improvement. However, clean restaurant and pleasant staff.

Had a mixed gammon and beef roast, was lovely food and very friendly staff, only downfall was what seemed to be a regular drinker in the pub that approached myself making inappropriate comments. My partner pointed out that he’d sniffed my neck whilst I was ordering food at the bar. We Enjoyed our food but was easily distracted and made to feel uncomfortable as we noticed he’d done the same to other women in the pub.

Great pub in all weather. Lots of entertainment n gardens

Ananta was a horrible experience from the start. We were seated and rushed through an ordering process and waited 1.5 hours for our food to be brought to us while guests who had entered after us had already been served multiple times. One of the guests who had been served their starter had offered to give us food as they noticed how long we had been waiting for. The food was not very flavourful, the vegetables look out of date and they were undercooked. The excuses from the waiter had become too much. The food tasted like leftovers from a week before. After paying the bill of £44 hard-earned Great British Pounds, I have decided I won't be going back. I wouldn't go to this restaurant if you're not easily pleased. Or if you have developed taste buds.

The inconsistency here is just annoying. At times the fish and chips is outstanding. At other times, you get oily congealed batter and soggy scraggy chips which are an insult. It appears to be be 1 staff member in particular who can’t cook or who just doesn’t care. How you can serve oil drenched food is beyond me. He needs to go! Shame to give a bad review, if you’re lucky enough to get the owner or other staff you’ll get a very good meal if not you’ll get a bad meal.

It was a pleasure to be at thr re-opening of the Horse & Groom. We attended Friday Saturday and popped back on Sunday too, each time we were greeted warmly each time, served with lovely wine and real ales. The atmosphere was great with some fantastic live entertainment. Can’t wait for them to begin serving food later this year. Great start Matt & Mike, looking forward to seeing you again soon

Visited The Anvil when holidaying in area , so pleased I did , what a find . Felt very welcome as soon as I walked in . I asked if they did veggie dishes when i booked , waitress had a note made to the effect I was veggie . Great choice , terrific value. Excellent service, 1st class food . In fact 1st class in every way . Well recommended

Usually go here for a takeaway if I'm in the area. Food provided very speedily after ordering, considering they were pretty busy on a Friday night. On my experience, they are pretty reliable and the food has been of consistently good quality, if a little oily.

Great dining with lovely staff and restaurant ambience. Food was excellent and we have no hesitation in recommending 👍

Nice place, but coffee too bitter... They need to learn from hot numbers, dulcedo, etc .. or re assess where they source their beans or who is roasting them. Room for improvement

Spacious and clean. Relaxed visit as you did not feel rushed. Nice food. Can easily miss so suggested to try and keep rac sign that is up as in the roadworks.

First time here and what a great place, food was lovely and plentiful, both waitresses were brilliant, well done.

We always stop at this place as a family on our way to our caravan and have breakfast but today we didn't need breakfast but just the toilet and it was disgraceful that they had a gatekeeper for the toilets and you could not use them until you bought something. I saw so many families with kids having no other choice but to buy something just to use the toilet. It's best to be transparent and take down the signs you currently have and put up some that state PAY TOILETS FROM 1.00. Coming here for breakfast never had this issue but today saw that this is the kind of business that makes parents pay for their kids to use the toilet.... Such a shame.

All 4 dishes were really tasty. Veg biryani with madras sauce, chicken tikka masala, lamb madras and Chef’s special curry. One of the best biryani’s I’ve had in a long while. Staff were lovely and very attentive. Looking forward to returning
