The best restaurants in East of England

Took a friend for afternoon tea for her birthday, lovely little tea shop, excellent afternoon tea, would highly recommend

The worst takeaway we’ve ever had, I have to be a bit careful here as we stated one of our orders was for a caoliac, ie gluten free, her dish arrived and swimming in soy sauce. The rest of the food was less than average, tasteless and very dry. Trading standards have been contacted as the order processing call was recorded stating the allergy, and a follow up phone call to confirm gluten free! See you in court

Christmas lunch at Lovejoys with the family. Food great and very generous portions . The service was impeccable. Great day thank you so much.

We ate out every day during our Center Parcs stay (Bella Italia, Hucks and Forsters Inn) and overall Las Iguanas was the best main meal (with the exception of Pancake House) but still not anything outstanding. Portion size was decent and the food tasted pretty nice, but it was fairly standard, nothing special. It was a bit on the expensive side but all the restaurants are there. The food was brought over by a little novelty machine which was very entertaining! The main downside of this restaurant is that there were long wait times to have our drinks/food order taken and an even longer wait time for someone to take payment when the restaurant wasn't exceptionally busy. The food itself didn't take too long to arrive, but we waited almost half an hour to be able to pay the bill.... There was also an added optional 7.5% service charge (which is applied at all restaurants across Center Parcs) which would have taken even longer to get this removed so we reluctantly paid this one as we just wanted to get going. There was one waitress working in there called Jess who was the only one who seemed to be doing any work, she was amazing and was tending to all the tables (about 6/7 in total) where as the other two waitresses (one that I believed might have been a manager as she was dressed in different uniform) just kept standing round at the tills not doing much and both of them went outside for half an hour separately, leaving Jess to do all the work... Even when we eventually managed to ask for our bill, the woman I believed to be manager gave our dirty plates to Jess to clear even though Jess was already doing so much. Jess was really lovely and seemed like a very hard worker so I would like to give credit to her.

Been several times during the year and it never disappoints. The Tuna is to die for, that it’s best I’ve ever had, beats the Spanish any day. I’ve also had the Ham, Egg and Chips, beautifully flavoured home baked ham, so full of flavour. Service is great, place is away packed. My son goes for the burgers and my husband the fish pie. Keep up the good work !

The food was ok, we both had the chicken pho and shared beef balls as a starter. The broth was quite thin and didn’t have the depth of flavour I’m used to with pho, the chicken was cut into very large chunks which made it difficult to eat, a couple of the pieces were so big I left them as I was unsure if they were cooked through. I’m also used to having a lot of green herbs in my soup but only found a few tiny pieces of mint which I couldn’t really taste. It felt like it was made by someone who really didn’t take much care or love for what they were making. A bit of a shame really as the restaurant came recommended but I don’t think I will be ordering again.

Didn't realise how big this cafe was. The coffee lounge area is at the front with a counter which gives the impression that it is full when probably there is plenty of space. We went in after walking from Frinton with our puppy and was warmly welcomed. I had the vegetarian Wellington roast 😋 and was asked if I wanted Yorkshire pudding with it as it wasn't vegan. Incidentally the Yorkshire was very nice as was the rest of our meals. The wife had the burger. Also the coffee is good and we'll try the large selection of cakes next time.

Visited 4 times during my week in Lowestoft and was delicious, fast service everyday even though it’s constantly busy and a fantastic price to match. All the staff were brilliant with orders and service too I must add! Best cafe food I’ve ever had!

Been going to this chip shop since I could walk!! Ah sweet memories 😍 Same family run business, delightful, superb fish and chips!!!! 5 star 🌟

Sadly learned about the closure of this bistro at the end of November 2023. You will be very much missed by us, local residents and holiday makers alike.

My favourite cafe in Saffron Walden. The owner is so welcoming and the staff are attentive. The menu is so varied and all delicious. Portions are generous and threat value for money. Always busy and a great atmosphere. Don’t miss out on his great place.

We very much enjoyed our meal with pasta salad and pizza . Attentive friendly service and nice restaurant . Recommended.
