The best restaurants in East of England

One of the best breakfasts we have ever eaten. Good portions. Quality ingredients and freshly prepared to order - piping hot. Friendly family run restaurant with great service.

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing surroundings, will definitely be going back very soon. First class all round.

Excellent breakfast including fruit and yoghurt followed by full English - delicious and set us up for the day - thank you James.

Amazing food and service. Everything went really well. Chicken tikka dansak top notch. All our party said their food was delicious. Spotlessly clean, friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely amazing ! Love everything at cupcake & Co and the service ! Best cake shop around

The staff are super friendly and helpful they are a great laugh and fun to be around, the quiz nights are the best to go to with friends

This is a very special hotel indeed. Kept, by its exuberant owner, in 1920’s style in homage to Agatha Christie who used to stay there. Full of old pictures and bits and bobs. Our bedroom ( medium size) was very comfortable with fun roll top bath but has modern amenities as well. But was next to the kitchen extractor fan which was noisy until 11 pm All the staff, mainly young people, were outstandingly helpful and polite. Nothing was too much trouble and it was the type of service I haven’t seen for many years. Well done. It is also highly popular , and full the nights we were there. Largely I suspect because of the combined dinner, bed and breakfast offerings. At very good value for money. The food was generally delicious and fresh. Duck, halibut, sea trout and the local crab and lobsters were outstanding but the “locally caught king prawns which, like the lobster, were landed today “ were obviously frozen as were tasteless and they ( king prawns) don’t live in UK waters. That was the only disappointment on the menu, which I wouldn’t have mentioned except they had been really hyped up by the enthusiastic person I assume was the owner. Good well chosen wine list and fine cocktails The reason I haven’t given five stars is with the regimented way guests eat. Severe set 25 minute table timings for breakfast and dinner. I do understand that the kitchen needs to be paced to cook such good food to order, but the timings on offer were not good for many of the customers. By the time we arrived to check in at 3pm after a long drive we had to settle for a 6.30 supper and 9.15 breakfast. The next day breakfast wasn’t available until 9.30 … hopeless for anyone who works or has to leave earlier.. and I overheard two couples saying their 6.30pm slot was far too early for dinner , but that was all that was left because the best table times had already been given to people from outside who had booked in for a meal. You are asked to go to the bar half an hour before your meal where you receive some underwhelming amuse bouche and are expected to buy a drink whilst perusing the menu. This is to help the chef timings but also allows for tables to be turned over and reset. The last day we were there the small bar was over crowded and we had to wait an hour to be shown our table. Service was then very slow. I just couldn’t eat rich food at 9pm having waited by then two and a half hours. So because I prefer more personalised service and eating at a time that suits my stomach, and I like to be sat at my table and not held in a “ holding pen” this is not an experience I personally wish to experience again. Having said that I realise that this hotel really does suit many of its guests, who really loved it. So it’s only my own opinion and I suspect I’m in a very small minority

This was our second visit. We had a wonderful family meal here again. Great atmosphere, friendly service and the food is superb.

I have been many times with always amazing food, excellent service and ambience. Already looking forward to a return visit!

Unexpected Saturday Lunch. Delicious as normal. Booked last minute and didn't disappoint. Pizza and Lasagne for main and a caramelised onion and mozzarella garlic is a must. THANK YOU

Our daughter’s 30th birthday bash last night, with private dinning, absolutely amazing food, amazing staff, could not fault anything. They could not do enough for us and made the evening special. Will definitely be back.

Lovely tea room! The food is freshly made and absolutely lovely. We had afternoon tea it was beautifully made. The staff including the owner Sarah were brilliant hosts. Very warming/friendly as you walk in. I would highly recommend the tea room 100% Tracey, Debbie & Phyllis

Recommended by a local wool shop, we chanced a walk up to get a table, understanding that the place is often booked up. What a lovely recommendation!! Coffee perfectly made, menu varied, food fresh and attractively served by friendly staff. Perfect little bolt hole, full of character and value for money - absolute winner.

good choice and fine cuisine - wont say too much as I dont want others to block my future reservations - enough said though !

Perfect service and delicious food, we went for afternoon tea and it was one of the best I’ve had so thank you! We will be back for sure.
