The best restaurants in East of England

Great experience here: good quality, tasty food, faultless service and a really pleasant ambience. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it

Aylsham is a cute market town where I had digs 40 years ago. So, we went on Market day for breakfast and loved this smashing cafe - full of life and bunting. We had full English breakfasts and coffees with toast and were set up for our journey home. The cafe is about 100 metres from the main square, is dog friendly and is wonderfully welcoming with a wide choice on the menu.

Definitely our favourite breakfast spot! I love their breakfast baguette it’s jammed packed with delicious food and at a great price! Their milkshakes and cold coffees are just beyond amazing and the staff/owners are so lovely as well!! Can’t recommend enough

Bottomless brunch was 5/5. The hotdog was very good. Cocktails were spot on! Particularly the Pina Colada. Service was very good. Javier obviously makes the place very friendly, enjoyable and welcoming. Judging by all the reviews, everyone agrees. Very good waiter at such a young age. Well done 👏 We would recommend Middletons for BB. The food is good, service is great, the drinks are decent. We even left with a bottle of wine (through referring a friend on the app)! Our first trip to Cambridge was fantastic. Thanks guys.

Always a fantastic place to meet. Food and service excellent. The cakes look fantastics! I must take some away with me next time.

Very delicious food for takeaway 😋

Food is always 10/10 and the service matches. Would highly recommend!

Amazing breakfast best in the area and surrounding area. Don’t judge a book by its cover. It really surprised us when we went in. We drive past all the time and wanted to try it out. We were not disappointed. Went with our 3 children. They ate everything on their plates. Father and son run and great service. Will definitely be returning and telling our friends. Thanks for the service and great tasting food. Cooked to perfection by the way.

My wife and I took my mum out for Sunday lunch and had a very enjoyable meal. We booked a table via Messenger a few days ahead and they confirmed pretty quickly. We all enjoyed a lamb roast...Mum had the child's option as it is still a good plateful but more suited for her smaller appetite. There was a little wait for the food to arrive (around 45 minutes) and was a good plateful, the only minor niggle was that it wasn't piping hot, more lukewarm, so perhaps it had been standing for a while awaiting service. The deserts were yummy - we all had the cheesecake, which is home-made by the manager...the cheesecake was Gold Bar, and it was amazing...I thought the portion might be too large for mum but she ate the lot and said it was one of the best cheesecakes she had eaten. Overall the meal was very good and the dessert was superb, the only reason for just four stars was the heat of the roast dinner and the slow service today. It was busy in the pub with lots of people in there for the football, but not too many tables were eating so I think the service could have been more attentive. I will keep coming back for the cheesecake though...did I mention it was really good?

Very friendly welcome, plenty of parking and large garden. Small menu but good food well cooked and served with a smile. Would definitely return if in the area.

We had the loveliest time here today! A table of 9 booked in, last minute. We had a few issues with the online booking system, but once we dropped an email we got a very swift and extremely friendly response, confirming our reservation. 5 adults and 4 children of varied ages. Staff were all incredibly welcoming and professional, especially Josh who was our main server. He went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were attended too, even offering to take a coffee order for us after our meal and bringing them to us in the outdoor area so we could relax in the sun. Food was fantastic. We ordered a range of meals and everybody was impressed with starters, mains and desserts. A great choice of food, from regular country pub fare to more varied twists on classics. Everything cooked from fresh and to a high standard. The children’s menu was especially of note. Very child friendly choices but still high quality food, generous portions (even for an older child) and the range of desserts was excellent. They were spoiled for choice and couldn’t believe their eyes when the food arrived. Having worked in the hospitality sector myself for quite some years, I’m quite particular. It was so lovely to have our expectations blown away and to enjoy such a relaxed and pleasant afternoon being so well looked after. A big thanks to the whole team, including the chefs.

Michael and Sheila have gone although the new "lady of the house" is actually Sheilas daughter. I appreciated we are in troubled times with a lot of pubs cutting back but a very limited menu will not impress previous customers, although the fish couldn't have been fresher. A big no is the owners children having the run of the pub, just imagine "grumpy" Michaels comments!!!.

A fairly large group of us visited Saturday lunchtime and had a great experience. Hospitality gets a lot of criticism it seems to me sonits only right to praise great service which is what we had. Thankyou

Being from London East End it is so nice ro see a real pie and mash shop, pie are from one of Londons oldest pie and mash shops and are amazing. Nice and clean place and always a friendly service, I always make this my 1st stop when I go to Yarmouth. Amazing good quality food at reasonable prices

Food is always good here, reasonable quality , place is clean and staff friendly, does what it says on the side of the tin- it’s a cafe. BUT - spoilt by noisy uncontrolled children, why do the parents think it’s ok for them to express themselves in scream, shout, drop food on the floor- I would hate to see the state of their homes. Teach the kids to use knife and forks, not fingers. No wonder kids have no respect. Albeit not Munchies fault, but they have to contend with clearing up the mess. So well done here!
