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.

We found this garden centre by chance. I'd intended to eat elsewhere but that fell through so looking for somewhere near to a church we wanted to visit I found this garden centre. It was 1pm on a Sunday and absolutely packed, with a constant stream of people arriving. A good selection of hot and cold food including specials and a lovely selection of cakes. I had quiche, salad and buttered potatoes which was tasty. My husband had Macaroni cheese which was surprisingly generous and came with salad and garlic bread. We rounded it off with a pot of tea and a cake each. It cost £35, which was less than the meal we'd have the previous day, for more food and much better quality. Would definitely recommend and you then have the garden centre to explore as well. Plenty of parking. Service quick even though it was so busy.

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!

Spent a weekend on holiday in Reedham again. Popped in on the Friday and we were made to feel welcome by Annie, Jamie and the beautiful Sacha. I would definitely recommend this pub, not just because of the welcome but also for the food. The menu was varied and I had to do a lucky dip to decide what to eat. I chose my usual, Cheeseburger, and as a food snob I was not disappointed. Even my wife said she’d never seen me eat so much side salad, it was that good. 😂 I will definitely be going back not just on holiday but also for a treat out.

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.

The Sunday lunch is excellent! Homemade yorkies, crispy roasties, lovely stuffing. Friendly service and dog friendly, what’s not to like?!

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.
