The best restaurants in East of England

Visited with my dad for his bday lunch. Was really nice we both had the toasties and had half and half. Very busy even on a Monday lunchtime. Business is booming!

Lovely Father’s Day lunch I had gluten free mozzarella, tomato and basil panini and it was delicious highly recommend- great service to boot

Had a lovely meal here with family. Lovely, tasty food. Very very busy but it was a Sat.night and that made it very noisy. Tables a bit too cramped together but will certainly go again.

Simply the best beach cafe with an amazing view of the sea and beach. Excellent at lunch as well as afternoon tea. One word of warning, look out for pesky seagulls.

Fantastic new year's eve. Food was absolutely outstanding, staff so pleasant, friendly and helpful, and the singer Jonathan Green was absolutely brilliant.

Delicious Italian dishes and desserts. The seafood risotto I had was wonderful. Very friendly staff. Great ambience.

Lovely place. Helpful staff. The Best BLT & chips

Always friendly staff and amazing food whenever you too. Typical cafe fayre, but plenty of it and cooked for you like it. Can't go wrong!!!

Great spot for some vegan ice cream/sorbet. My little boy is anaphylactic to dairy and was very cautious about eating any when he was looking at the different flavours (there were 4 for him to choose from). The lady quickly realised he was upset and got some fresh utensils out to reassure him and he gladly accepted it! It's finally nice to know we can take him somewhere and he can join in! We'll definitely be back. Thank you for making an allergy child feel included x

Limited menu, service was brilliant as was my nachos, but the salsa and guacamole were poor. The burgers were not the best but The chips were good.

Lovely roast and rice pudding dessert

I went here with my other half for the first time and had a lovely meal. No starters, a curry each and shared a side and naan. Not bad food and thought we will come back. That is until the bill came… The total was £81 (I would note written in a different pen to the rest of the bill) so we just went through to check they hadn’t added anything extra on as it did seem quite dear for what we had had. All looked fine. Then we looked at the totals and did a rough count up in our head and thought it couldn’t be right. Now we don’t normally sit going through our bill when we go out to eat as you like to think you can trust it is ok. Sometimes mistakes happen but we can’t see this was a mistake. We ended up being those people who got their phones out to calculate to ensure our mental maths wasn’t failing us and sure enough it totalled £51. We added it 3 times to check. I was giving the staff the benefit of the doubt trying to see that the 5 had just looked like an 8 but it was 100% an 8. Also they had written £81.50 and the bill was in actual fact £51.15 so even the pence was wrong. My other half handed it back and just said “there is a mistake” and with no fuss the waiter took it away and brought it back to us amended to sure enough £51.15 and the waiter just said “you are right.” So all the behaviour alluded to the fact they knew they had tried it on with us. They also couldn’t thank us enough when we left. I was presented with quite a large chocolate bar when the bill came which was quite random and could have been a distraction technique. We got it resolved no fuss or dramas but it’s a shame as the food and atmosphere was nice but it’s not nice to know you are trying to be conned. Just makes us wonder how many other people they’ve done it to who haven’t noticed or questioned it. A 60% mark up is huge!! Sad to say we won’t be going back.

I ordered Chicken Marsala and garlic cheese bread I was not disappointed food was absolutely delicious.

I would give this zero stars if there was an option! The restaurant may serve better food but I doubt it, we had a takeaway and it was awful. I’ve never seen a runny korma in my life but this one was. My dhansak was no better, or the side dishes. There were no saving graces and we wished we hadn’t wasted our money on what was quite an expensive take away. Bombay potatoes were the wrong type of potato - floury and disintegrating. No fresh flavour to anything . Couldn’t have been more disappointed

Friendly staff, good menu selection, we shared the vine leaves to start, my wife had the chicken shush and I had the lamb shank. Absolutely delicious, well cooked and presented, only issue was there was just so much we couldn’t finish it, and we hate to waste food. Next time we’re back 8n Sudbury we’re definitely going again
