The best restaurants in East of England

Beautiful food, great atmosphere and service. Thanks!

We ordered two mains and two desserts from the online menu for our Sunday lunch. The food was glorious in quality and quantity and was presented in sensible cardboard boxes.

We visited here whilst staying locally. The restaurant is off a busy main road but there is parking outside. We visited on a Sunday evening and were the only table for a while. Inside the restaurant is comfortable and clean although it was so quiet we felt a little uncomfortable at first. Staff were polite and we were served within a reasonable time after ordering. The poppadoms were crisp and dry but disappointingly the sauces were thin and tasteless obviously mass produced. Having said that the rest of the meal was delicious. Tasty main dishes accompanied by garlic naan and rice. The meat was tender and we also enjoyed the vegetable dish too. I would eat here again if in the area but would choose a different starter.

Amazing restaurant, the food and service is faultless. Best Turkish in Ipswich and Felixstowe without a doubt. Party of 7 tonight for a birthday, outstanding!

Always Fresh, hot and tasty - what more can I say!! The Chicken green curry is to die for, but everything I’ve had has been lovely. Always a queue - and it’s clear most customers are repeat customers. Eaten here so many times and never been let down. The perfect lunchtime food in the city centre.

We only had a 90 minutes visit and wanted a snack. We had the best toasties ever 😍 My companion had a ham and cheese granary brown bread toastie served with a lovely salad and a cup of tea. I had a chicken and bacon granary brown toastie with a diet coke. It was absolutely lovely and so was the service, I have to congratulate Georgie and her staff. The price, £16 in all, was pretty reasonable too.

We have just had the most amazing lunch, we were party of 6, wine perfectly matched with our meal, fat juicy mussels followed by the most delicious ox checks that just melted, with fab chips, finished off with the most delightful chocolate mousse & passion fruit sorbet, pure joy. We could not fault the service and delicious meal, in the centre of stunning city of Norwich Femi & Belinda are the fabulous hosts

This was an interesting experience. I had a crunchie sundae. It had bits of crunchie chocolate, which I haven't had for years, along with 2 scoops of toffee ice cream, and I think some white ice cream and some toffee or caramel sauce. It was lush.

Wonderful lunch Attentive service Knowledgeable staff and incredible food. Will definitely check recommend and return on our next visit to southwold.

Had a fabulous lunch at The Bell where the food and service was exemplary.We sat outside in the garden which looked very pretty with the colourful hanging baskets .It was quiet on arrival so we had a choice of seats.The waitress, Helen, answered any questions regarding the menu and was very attentive and friendly.My husband had the blade of beef and I chose the chalk stream trout.Both dishes were absolutely delicious .We both opted for dessert and on recommendation I had the iced pistachio parfait which was a big hit.My husband chose the mini cheese plate as he loves the Stilton cheese and date cake combination.All in all a thoroughly enjoyable lunch again at The Bell .

Lovely friendly staff greet you at this lovely countryside pub. It's a bit in the middle of nowhere, but has adequate car parking spaces so as long as you have a designated driver, all is good. We went for drinks- great choices and they are very dog friendly!

Much improved, is a much brighter and airyer space than it used to be. Dart board and dukebox, big TV for the sport. Good pub is a highly competitive area.

Nice Thai if wanting to stay local in Stortford. Food very average, nothing special, and was quite expensive. Small portion sizes of curry. Service has room for improvement, not very attentive and had to ask another guest to get waiters attention. Ambience a bit odd - not an authentic Thai atmosphere with the 90s playlist and someone playing with the light setting quite dramatically through the evening. Presentation of food could be better; for example, other Thais we’ve been to the sticky rice is served in a plastic bag but put inside a wicker basket which helps with the authenticity and elevates the dish. The Thai salad on the side of the starter did not look appetising or appealing and we would usually eat this elsewhere as fresh and colourful. This looked like the base for coleslaw without the mayo! Wouldn’t rush to go back; it was ok and average, non offensive but not a patch on an our favourite Thai in Hertford, which blows this experience out of the water.

Best fry ups in Norwich, great retro atmosphere and the service is always great

Just had an evening meal & it was excellent. The food was very tasty & well cooked. The restaurant was very clean & well presented, the staff were very attentive and it was very good value for money. Will definitely go there again.
