The best restaurants in East of England

All Staff is good and nice food as well

The food is always 10/10 for me - always a full English and a cappuccino! The lady on the till is always so welcoming and lovely!

Great small restaurant attached to the theatre and local hub. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The service was excellent and the server very friendly. The atmosphere was good too. Pictured is the smoked salmon and avocado salad.

Ordered online at 19:48 Called at 21:00 to ask if our order was going to be much longer. Was told they were doing it now & wouldn’t be long. Been calling since 21:30 - no answer Time 21:42 no food and they close at 22:00 2 hrs for 4 simple meals!

Absolutely delicious three course meal with friendly and relaxed service to match. We loved everything we ate and it is obvious the chef takes great time and pride in perfecting each item on the menu. From the starters and mains, through to desserts, without doubt the best anniversary meal we have had in over twenty years and can't wait to return!

What a change to have a nice quility fish and chips , no grease or oil on the bottom of the tray . Well worth the wait as everything is cooked to order. The batter was really nice and light with good thick chips .

Great bar layout and atmosphere. Rukia was also extremely helpful, suggesting drinks & generally bringing good vibes!

We popped into 8 Rocks for breakfast after a Parkrun. We are pleased we did. The place was clean, staff clearing tables quickly after customers had left and were very friendly and attentive without being overbearing or making us feel rushed. The menu was expansive - we had eggs royale and a salt beef bagel - both of which were lovely. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

I was so disappointed with this restaurant. When I ordered I was told it would arrive in 30 minutes. I waited 1hr 10mins for the delivery and when it arrived it was stone cold. I called the restaurant who advised to give it back to the driver and they would send another ASAP. She apologised and said she would send some extra bits to compensate. When the second order arrived the only compensation I received was a dip!!! I ordered a lamb Shish and a portion of hummus (only 2 pieces of bread) came for the whole order. It was also warm (not hot) the lady on the phone couldn’t have been less interested. This just isn’t normal service from this restaurant but it has put me off from ordering again

What a wonderful place. I’ve never been to a tea room. My friend invited for her 40th celebration. It’s so Preety fun warm and friendly. I’m lucky to have a great friend who works here. The gals we do lovely and welcoming. Food is yum. I’ll be back again soon. Thank you. ☺️

Really nice English breakfast cooked to perfection. Excellent coffee and friendly and helpful staff. My grandson also enjoyed it very much

Had a really nice bacon and sausage bap, could taste the quality of the ingredients. Staff were friendly too

Stopped here for lunch after a recommendation from a lady in a shop. It's was great. Food and coffee was lovely and was a nice chilled atmosphere inside too. Will definitely visit again when I'm in hemel.

Had an amazing meal. I have coeliac disease and their attention to deal was A1 (re wiping the table to stop cross contamination) they completely understood my condition which some cafe don’t get. Thank you so much Also my husband and daughter had great breakfasts ….even filled my husband up

Really excellent fish and chips: fresh and well cooked. Perfect for eating in the park after a walk along the towpath from Hertford.
