The best restaurants in East of England

Really nice breakfast. Good quality ingredients and well cooked. Always worth an update. Came here for the first time in December and came back today. Food and service still excellent

We took our parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. This is the third time we have been. The food is amazing quality and the portions are great. Service is fab and locals are really friendly. It’s become one of our most favourite places to go out to eat. I couldn’t recommend it enough

Delicious. Very generous portions, the large chips was enough for 2 adults and 3 children. Very reasonable price, kims curry sauce is delicious! I haven’t been in the grange long so I’m not an old customer but this is definitely my first choice when having fish and chips in the future . Also her Chinese is a lovely treat . Highly recommend

We visited brightlingsea today. On arrival we went straight to get lunch. Food was a good price and delicious. We had loaded fries and panini and my son had sausage and chips. We later returned and brought buckets and spades, bait for crabbing, more drinks and ice creams throughout the day. After regularly using them throughout day for refreshments we asked if we could have some boiled water to fill a flask for my 5 week old baby for his bottle and they charged us for boiled water! This I feel is disgusting. The café was heaving all day and they must of made a killing but to charge for boiled water has angered me and truly made me think twice about using this café again as I think that is greedy.

Very disappointing, food rather bland and lacking in flavour, I chose a king prawn, paneer and spinach dish which was basically a tray of spinach and little else. Sadly not worth the visit.

This tearoom has the most scrumptious cakes. Everything is homemade and the place is lovely and clean. Love their breakfast sandwiches too!

Proper old school ‘caff’ - friendly staff and well-cooked food. Asked for a small sausage, chips and beans for my son (not on the menu) which wasn’t a problem, they even cut the sausage up for him, my younger son had beans on toast and they cut the toast into fingers for him without me asking. Small details but that extra effort didn’t go unnoticed. My fry-up was spot on. Look forward to going back!

Lovely meal delivered promptly

RestoBistro is Epping’s best kept secret, nestled at the southern end of the high street. The food is absolutely delicious, all homemade. An independent restaurant with extremely high standards. The chef and management put on various special themed nights which are always fantastic. I particularly like the Sunday Roasts which are the best for miles around.

very good nights have been had at the pizza loft. Good atmosphere and good food. Sadly the place has had to close for good on Saturday 13th August 2022 as the restaurant room is required back by Lings cycle shop. Very sad news.

Called here with a view to lunch to find it is now (end Aug) a smart looking Tandoori/Curry restaurant. We weren't looking for a curry lunch so did not stop.

Great place to eat , had lunch there today , burgers and Caesar salad was amazing , proper chef! Prices great value! Will return

We had a wonderful stay overnight and meal to celebrate a birthday here. We had some specific requests and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were very accommodating and helpful and also arranged some extra special touches. The accommodation was fantastic and very clean and tastefully presented. We had breakfast in the cafe that was also very good and again friendly and welcoming. Thank you Naz for all your help and emails.

Lovely place to eat. The tapas are certainly not small so good to share with someone. The buttermilk chicken burger was homemade and delicious, thoroughly recommended. Fridays are busy but we booked and had excellent service.

After reading all the reviews me and my partner thought we would give it a go as was only down the road. What a mistake that was, the staff were friendly but food was shocking. Will not be coming back.
