The best restaurants in East of England

Whole experience was awesome. Staff were very cooperative. Proper hygiene followed. Food presentation was awesome.

Had great cocktails, with Jo able to adapt one recipe to make a knockout concoction, her efforts were very much appreciated.

Our go to local Chinese, great quality food every time. They have always got our order correct. You do have to collect but it is absolutely worth it!

Not enough steaks, only one out of 3 got one. Beer was good.

We have been there several times and the food portions as been big and tasted very very nice, Unfortunately our visit on mother's day was not as good, the starter was for 3 was very poor and the mains was not so good either, I had sea bass and it was dry and over cooked, the lamb shanks was very fatty and greasy and did not taste very good but it was eatable, Unfortunately we not will not be using again.

We visited Pop Pins twice in August. What an adorable place to eat ice cream and talking of ice cream, you will be spoilt for choice ! There is a wide range of desserts and sandwiches etc all in a very pretty building. There are even sand and seashells along the front windowsill, how cute ! The cafe is small but there is seating outside and a lovely courtyard out the back that is so lovely. Pastel painted walls and pretty garden seats and cushions along with flowers. Such a lovely place to eat and meet with friends and family. The portions are big too. I wish i lived in Frinton so i could visit here every week. Ps theres a toilet too and the staff are very nice.

Not been here for a very long time but it was central to where my friends live. Have to say I didn't have a good experience the first time and sadly it was not much better this time. Food was luke warm and smothered in sauce and tasteless. The restaurant was like a furnace! Very very loud, seems like the go to place for groups of men. Quite rough TBH. Wont be going back.

I’ve previously raved about this small coffee shop cum cafe but, disappointingly, I didn’t enjoy the food on our recent visit. We were a family group of five, three of whom had the tuna ciabatta melt which, they said, was very good. However, my grandson’s squash and spinach soup lacked any taste of squash (I tasted the soup) and, actually, with its very dark green colour, I didn’t think the soup looked appealing either. Spinach has such a strong taste and, if it’s being used alongside other vegetables in soup-making, the amount needs to be proportionate to the other ingredients. Unfortunately, the spinach was overpowering and totally drowned out any flavour from the squash. I ordered a home-baked, warm asparagus, spinach, tomato and cheese tart which I can only describe as dire. The pastry was soggy, so I only ate the middle of the tart and left the pastry, whilst the accompanying salad was tiny and boring beyond belief, with just a few leaves, a couple of pieces of tomato and a few bits of cucumber. The salad actually resembled nothing more than a garnish, with a bit of dressing on top, and, at £12, the meal was poor quality and even poorer value for money. The lattes were excellent and my son-in-law enjoyed his Terry’s orange flavoured hot chocolate but there wasn’t a great choice of cakes to go with our drinks so none of us bothered. In terms of the food, there doesn’t appear to be an actual kitchen, just a section within the cafe where a member of staff was preparing the orders. I’d never previously noticed before that there wasn’t a kitchen here so not sure if this is a change. However, only having a microwave and no oven would explain why I had a tart with soggy pastry! Regrettably, I can’t even say that the staff were brilliant. We were mainly served by one staff member who I can only describe as surly looking, leading me to want to repeat a childhood phrase my mum used to say when I was being grumpy, ‘if you smile, your face will crack!’. A second member of staff, though, was so different and really nice. I’d have been happy to have given some honest feedback at the time but, unfortunately, nobody asked if we’d enjoyed our meal. I can say, now though, that my meal was extremely poor and, with a bill of £65 for our group, it wasn’t cheap. Finishing on a positive note, the toilets were clean.

Excellent Sunday dinner and fantastic pub

Always use this place best Chinese in Norwich

went to my favourite eating place in Waltham Abbey for my 75th Birthday Bash. 12 of us ate mains and desserts. They have alcoholic drinks as well as shakes, coffees and teas, Smoothies and tinned drinks, also ice cream. We had a wonderful time, good food, good service and good friends - what more could you want?

Visited for lunch, very friendly staff, food is home made and I had a really nice hot sausage roll with salad and my wife had an equally nice toasted sandwich. The coffee was also good, will definitely Visit again.

I've always rated this pub - just off the beaten track and what I consider a textbook pub. Good, simple food done well, fantastic beer and friendly staff. Accommodated a group of 14 of us with military precision and without batting an eyelid. Well worth a visit if you are in the area - you won't be disappointed.

Friendly and welcoming staff, delicious hot breakfast, great coffee, plenty of free parking, we will come again, thank you!

Why anyone would choose to call a cafe Tickety Boo is beyond me but the food is good and you don't eat the name! Very strange and off-putting style where they take your money before you eat - which meant we didn't order any cake after our meal as we couldn't be bothered to queue and pay all over again. None of the diners I've seen in here look like the type that would run off without paying! Despite this the food really was excellent and I will be back for more.
