The best restaurants in East of England

The best place to get coffee/milkshakes/lunch/snacks in Southend. Really reasonably priced, great coffee, great atmosphere. Can’t think of anywhere I’d rather go and sit in Southend. Whether you’re in town or the seafront it’s going to be easy to get to and worth it.

Nice friendly local pub but too small for a darts match hard to see what's happening .

Great food. Great experience . Gina was very friendly and helpful and has a great rapport with the customers. Would certainly recommend

I went to this place for Saturday dinner with friend. Stars are unfriendly, playing their mobile phone most the time. Food nothing special, prices are extremely special high. Not recommended at all

Terrible greasy fish no crisp on the batter. Chips bang average.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food & the warm welcome & service.

We turned up on the off chance due to a cancelled train - was found a table although it was busy . Great service and excellent fresh cooked food. Fab atmosphere and Nicola's service and assistance was first class. We will return .Thank you for a great evening

Highly recommend and the prices are very reasonable. Outstanding customer service and the quality of the desserts is great. You can tell the care that goes into the items. Will definitely be ordering again!

Let’s get the cons out of the way first.£10 for pie and mash in a school dinners style with a good pie but cold lumpy mash and veg with a slight. taste of washing up liquid. left on plates. Staff ok but ready to go home with a little bit of attitude .Small confusing set up on entry and not for anyone with mobility issues imo. However Pros it’s cosy nice atmosphere ok for tea and cake and light snacks.Friendly .

Rude staff and slow service. Proprietor became threatening, when I dared to complain. Codess on Victoria Street is a good alternative. Avoid!

The cafe has recently been taken over and it has been redecorated inside and it looks really nice and the atmosphere was great. We only called in (quite late) for Coffee and a cake and the staff were very obliging and even kept open a little longer to let us finish. Coffee was great and so were the selection of cakes and savories on offer. We will certainly go again. There are also a couple of circular walks near by which take you west onto farm and woodland (somerleyton estate?) or to the east where you can walk to the Essex and Suffolk water nature reserve which is run by Suffolk Wildlife trust.

This was our third visit as a family and just as before, everything was outstanding. We all had a roast - and grandma was allowed a children’s portion. Every element of the roast was cooked beautifully and portions generous. The seasonal vegetables were plentiful and cooked perfectly, not over but just right. While we were there, apart from other customers, a big (20+). party arrived too. Nevertheless, service was friendly, authentic, efficient and attentive throughout. Last but not least, with prices in hospitality through the roof these days, the total bill was very reasonable. 10/10! Thank you!

Went with my two sons for birthday celebration. The interior was beautiful with lots of wooden carvings. The food was very nice and portions are good. Lamb briyani takeaway came with a separate portion of vegie curry. Very nice indeed.

Dirt cheap. Food was great, very tasty. Service is amazing, they are very friendly and welcoming.

Took the outlaws here food was lovely
