The best restaurants in East of England

We had dinner here. It's a lovely traditional pub with a huge Charles I fireplace in the restaurant which is well worth seeing. The food was delicious - homemade - and the portion size was very generous (see photo). Unfortunately I didn't have room for dessert - next time I'll make sure yo be properly hungry! Highly recommended.

Strong local vibe, was very busy but still got served very quick. Staff were lovely even though it was busy. Prices are very good and portions are generous!

Great location, friendly staff and plenty of them, most accommodating, felt very covid safe will be visiting again

This place used to be good, when Mai's Vietnamese kitchen operated there, but now it's reopened as Church Farm Cafe, it's gone down the pan! Pretentious decoration with unfriendly in fact downright rude staff serving overpriced food that appears to have come straight from Tesco. Never again!

Delicious food, lovely staff very enjoyable breakfast and dinners, hope to visit again when in the area, lovely relaxed atmosphere 😍

We read the trip advisor reviews and thank goodness we did. What a lovely lunch, one veggie special and two meals off of the same menu. Friendly service and great decor, highly recommended.

The food was very good. We had cod, rock and Jambo battered sausage, all with chips. The lady taking the order was so happy and enthusiastic. We also took her recommendation and tried the battered pineapple fritters with syrup, which again were very good.

Nice enough cafe typical of those around UK. Sadly though waiting staff were rude on our arrival - we went to the back of the cafe to look at the nice view and the map of walks before deciding to stay for a coffee, so we walked through cafe to the front of it to wait to be seated as requested on the entrance sign - we were chastised for not coming through front door and also for taking a can of sparkling drink from the chiller cabinet (we wanted to pay to take it away with us after having coffee). The can was removed from us as we were firmly informed we should have entered through front door, waited to be seated and they would bring us everything we requested. The waitress clearly felt we needed dressing down instead of welcoming us. They showed us to a table (the cafe was pretty empty tbh and this seemed OTT). As a result we didn’t get to see the variety of cakes on display at the check out desk so we didn’t feel we wanted to order one with our coffee. I would suggest the management need to review the processes for welcoming customers so that they are made to feel at home - my husband joked that it felt like the military were running it. Also if you want to offer a variety of cakes, put them where people can view them before they are asked to order. All told it was a bit of a turn off and we won’t return. Not to our taste.

well run place nice staff . Many people eating ,will call again, i think the village run it to keep it in the community , nice idea. john

Great value full English breakfast. Service was friendly & fast. Easy to find, with plentiful parking. Also some delicious-sounding specials on blackboard. Lovely seating area outside too if weather is fine. Free wifi.

Well my daughter and myself had the misfortune to have lunch at this Cafe today was very shabby. The Sullan waitress took our order after me asking whether I could possibly have a small portion of chips. No only large then to hear the cook say to her, I haven’t got f++king time to sort that out, I went to the counter and asked the sullan waitress whether that comment was meant for us. She said no that’s my father and we were talking about someone else so it looks like maybe they talk about all their customers like that apart from the yokels that go there every day . The reason I gave one star was because the chips were very nice, but the rest of it I would not recommend this cafe to anybody

Lovely member of staff who served us and the food was good and plentiful. There is room for improvement though regarding the cleanliness of the crockery and cutlery. My fork had remnants of food on which was very off putting, it was replaced, the teapot and crockery were in dire need of a good wash, even though they were black I could clearly see the grease and grime and deep tea stains, the saucer had remnants of food on which I wiped off with a napkin. The milk jug had old dried on stains down the front which was more obvious as it was white. I was thinking ‘why do they think this is acceptable?’ Were it not for that I would’ve enjoyed my meal, but the cleanliness issue was on my mind the whole time.

Good local pub in heart of village. Good beers, friendly service, pool, darts etc. Shows football on to. Across road from Indian restaurant which was handy.

I was there for a wedding, and was a bit disappointed. The wedding, a semi-formal affair, was lovely, but the staff appeared at the front of the guests in their normal black working clothes, apron included. I would have thought the occasion would call for something a bit more presentable. The dinner was average, and was inefficently served. I did feel for the staff. Again, they were very informally, a couple even scruffily, dressed. I had the roast beef, and, although tasty, wasn't above average. I chose the Eton Mess Cheesecake for dessert, and if there was any cheese in it, I couldn't find it. It looked lovely, but tasted of nothing but sugar. I couldn't eat it. I do realize this is a golf club, but, if they are going to do weddings, I think they need to up their game.

Good food but I don’t understand why they are always pushing cash only when they have a card machine?? I enjoy the food but this needs to change.
