The best restaurants in East of England

Still holding the crown for 10 years! Do you have any idea how hard that is in hospitably? Hiring the right staff, training service and customer focus, constantly managing standards. Great coffee / great environment. Hats off to them, to be honest. Yes - the coffees are served at the correct size (you're not going to get a pint of it). Yes - the food touches on the expensive side (it's all made fresh and in house). Yes - it gets busy. (Makes me extremely happy I have to wait in an independent coffee shop). Keep up the good work, see you soon.

1st time we have been bit of a wait for the food but were told when we sat down as they were busy, but it was well worth the wait it was pipping hot & very good selection of vegetables & a good choice of desserts as well, the staff were very friendly & helpful & polite would recommend it & will definitely go again

9 of us went out which was really good to get together with friends- but the food I would say was rather lacking Starter of Creamy Mushrooms was excellent but the Main Mushroom Wellington was over Microwaved the pastry was very hard and tough I cannot speak for the rest but alot was left - also as being staff I was very disappionted when the AM did not let us have our staff discount

Absolutely amazing and authentic Thai food!! Too bad we only discovered it today and they told us it’s their last day!! All their staff and chefs are Thai people and from my understanding they’re retiring and going back to Thailand 🙁 so if you see this review and it’s not too late go today!!! Every single thing we ordered was good. They said to keep a look out for their update on the website they might find another location and open up again, but not till next year April time (roughly).

This was the best Fish and Chips experience I’ve had in a long time! The fish was incredibly fresh, perfectly crispy, and cooked to perfection. The chips were golden, crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The presentation was thoughtful, and the portions were more than generous. The tartar sauce and other sides complemented the meal perfectly. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and impeccably clean. I can’t wait to visit again!

We consider ourselves ‘foodies’ and eat out a lot. Sadly, and all too frequently, the experience doesn’t live up to the hype. The Boarding House on the other hand was exceptional - the food was simply delicious and faultless. Friendly service, great value and an absolute joy. I would say I have high standards - others would say I’m a fussy bugger - and I’m not often moved to leaving reviews - I’m almost reluctant to share what must be the best kept secret in Halesworth - but these guys deserve all the credit they get. Can’t wait to go back.

Superb service - professional and friendly - and wonderful food. I had the bangers and mash and they were the best I'd ever eaten. Pudding - crumble with custard - again fantastic. And the price - great value for money. All in all a wonderful experience. Will return and so will my friend and her family.

Great friendly staff and customers,dog friendly, good value nice local little pub. Great outside area.

Ok so maybe I’m being biased but when a place is called (smoke house) you would think that the food is cooked over open coals/bbq…….sadly not the case! If you want to eat a very overpriced rustlers burger 🍔 this place is for you, the staff on the other hand were lovely but oh my goodness if I wanted to eat my doormat it would most likely be a lot more flavoursome! Don’t waste your money on overpriced Rustlers!

food was good and hot this was a birthday suprise from my wife thank you

Pin Wei was always my go to restaurant. Such a shame it closed. It was a really nice place to be and the food and staff were always amazing. Hope they reopen if not there somewhere else. Miss the restaurant and friendly staff. 5 stars all round.

Fabio's is the perfect spot for a Sunday treat with the kids! I took three children for ice cream, and we were all impressed by the wide selection of flavors and the incredibly fresh taste. The lovely weather made it ideal for grabbing our cones and strolling around town. The staff was quick and efficient, which is essential on a hot summer day when the shop is buzzing with customers. Overall, Fabio's is definitely a great choice for a family outing—highly recommend it!

Really nice cafe, friendly staff, great food, good value, big portions! We loved the music as well. Would definitely recommend Rosy Lee Cafe.

Had breakfast here today. Very nice and good price too. Lovely lady that served us had a sunshine personality too. Only slight negative is having to pay to park but parking cheap so worth it.

Sadly shut forever unless someone comes up with extortionate price Fullers want. Could be such a great destination pub with right chef
