The best restaurants in East of England

Saturday night is obviously popular here. We met up to celebrate my mum's birthday, as they had been here previously with friends and enjoyed it very much. We were not disappointed! The food was great, juicy and full of spices. The waiters were attentive and nothing was too much trouble. It was a great night.

Sat in the car park eating another roll from the crab hut! Cold and wet but the food is excellent and makes that bank holiday Monday more fun. Had the smoked salmon sub and it was delicious!!! I’ll be back!

So, I thought I'd been drinking hot chocolate on and off from my early childhood through to my midlife. No. I was fooled. I was lied to. Tonight, really was the first occasion in 40 or so years that I actually experienced authentic hot chocolate. The Bedford Lodge Hotel has set the bar. It was almost wrong to drink. Was this a dream? Was this a quarter of a pint of melted chocolate under a whipped cream topper? It was a life event. Yum.

Delicious food served by such attentive staff and very reasonable prices! We had the most wonderful evening and I’ll certainly be back!

Very delicious lunch. Husband and I had the liver and bacon with mash and peas. Nice garden with plenty of shade for the dogs. Good menu. I could order the lot. People were super nice.

Thoroughly enjoyed the takeaway I ordered on Friday 14th March. All dishes were top quality and the staff were very friendly when I picked the food up. Order was produced bang on time. Will definitely return.

What a find, we managed 4 visits here while on holiday. Breakfast was lovely, we visited another day for a toastie, and also just for a drink while walking. Each time we visited the service were polite, friendly and efficient. Will definitely return.

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!

Lovely food and warm service. Really recommend for a chill brunch in a cozy place. Went with my mum, husband and baby, and everyone was pleased with the food they chose and all the staff was amazingly lovely and gave a family feeling to the brunch.

Probably some of the best brunch food I've ever had, the taste and presentation of the food is very good. However you will be waiting a very long time for it to be served.

Great selection and choices on the menu at reasonable prices. Friendly, helpful staff. Great atmosphere. Large car park. Level access.

We hosted a family celebration, lovely atmosphere, buffet excellent, vegan gluten free supplied and kept separate from other food. Everyone said it was an excellent venue close to town. Thank you Harry and the bar staff.

Such a lovely café in a beautiful location. Chris & Matt are wonderful people and have been working so hard to make this a great place for the community. There are always fun activity evenings and classes being run and let's not forget how delicious the cake & coffee is!

Efficient and friendly service. Tasty and clean tasting food. Reasonably priced. Great vegetarian. options! Fabulous quintessentially English tea room. Very good job for table of 8. Would definitely go again.

Great food, the tandoori mixed grill was excellent. The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly. Very good service. Fast!
