The best restaurants in Marshes Broadland East of England

Stopped here for breakfast lovely setting by the river, dog friendly, very friendly staff could not fault the food it was cooked to perfection and nicely presented.

Called in for lunch. The hanging baskets all around the centre are an absolute delight, I can appreciate the care and attention they take, it shows that this garden centre really look after their plants, a great sign. Lots of lovely homewares etc, but we'd come for lunch. Reasonably priced, lovely food, we had our dog with us so sat outside and it was lovely. Would definitely recommend. Once again, the hanging basket displays are a sight to behold. ❤️

Had double Sausage & Chips and was excellent, friendly service and really tasty, a great little eatery tucked away. Often they can disappoint but this one was spot on.

Great staff and service. Value for money and great quality. Will definitely come back. We are x cafe and restaurant/ pub owners so know what makes a great experience.

Great place next to the river. Gorgeous food (scotch eggs are amazing) Sells lots of gifts, delicious goodies Great service love the banter

Do not Moor here, owner is the rudest lady I have encountered for some time, considering we were customers to her business. We had our 2 pugs with us off lead (but well controlled) as we had not seen any signs to disallow this (we looked afterwards and they were along the river not near where we had not moored) The lady shouted at us for this, we apologised and put them on leads immediately. She continued to shout, repeating herself and accused us of being in 'her back yard' even though we were standing by the shop entrance. No wonder place is for sale!

We popped in for drink this afternoon, lovely warm welcoming pub Relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff very warm and welcoming nothing it to much trouble . We had a lovely afternoon overlooking the river, we decided to stay for an evening meal which was delicious. Thank you so much , if you’re visiting the riverside at Reedham pop into The Nelson you will have a lovely time .

So much to see all under one roof. Lots of mini sections, with lots of things for sale from plants to crafts, to wool, to pet products, to ceramics and so much more.... The cups for sale had me laughing.. Some I could not post as they were a little risqué:) Loved the water features, the Christmas wonderland, is worth a visit in itself Literally sooo much to see. Lovely coffee shop serving great cake and coffee with free WiFi. Plenty of parking Look forward to visiting again.

Had a late Sunday lunch here. We booked in advance as the reviews seemed to identify it as being popular. Glad we did as our table was for 5 pm and we were able to book the meats we required in advance so as not to be disappointed. The meal was excellent, I had the roast beef, hubby the pork and turkey, all very tender. Veg cooked so it still had a bite accompanied by a majestic Yorkshire pudding which dominated the plate. Couldn’t fault it. Staff very pleasant and welcoming. Only given four stars because after such a large meal we couldn’t face trying a dessert, however watch this space as we shall be returning!

Not the best outlet in Chelmsford the best one is westway. Maldon high street is also very good but very disappointed Costas don’t offer any gluten free products as my wife can’t eat and as to watch me eating

I lived on the Broads and used to come here years ago in the 50s and 60s. It was one of my favourite destinations. It remains so, in fact now one of my favourites pubs in the UK. Full of the original decor and now with great locally brewed beers, superbly kept. The food is terrific, we ended up eating lunch and dinner on five occasions during our four day stay in the area. The staff extremely pleasant, friendly and engaging. And they work very hard ! Dogs, not just allowed, but made extremely welcome, like it used to be in old pubs before the ‘fun police, health and safety, E.H.O.’ brigade arrived years ago and tried to spoil it all. Great value throughout, unable to praise it enough, and will definitely be returning, …. soon I hope.
