The best restaurants in Broadland East of England

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.

Been using this chinese for years, with the experience we had today,we will never be using this chinese ever again, waited over 2 hours for delivery, phoned them twice finally got our food but stone cold, we tried to warm it up but tasted discusting, will never use them again,

Sadly the golf clubhouse currently closes at 6pm in summer! The clubhouse is fine as a building. But is now lacking food options and sensible opening times

We arrived just outside the regular lunchtime but it was still busy and people were arriving all the time. Car parking is a reasonable size, but also serves the Brewery and shop. We hadn't booked, but a table was found in the bar area which was a little tight. The menu is varied so I chose Stuffed Parma chicken with buttered greens and mash. The broccoli was a little too al dente and the tomato sauce tasted like it had come out of a tin. My husband had a steak and ale pie which wasn't very big and had hard pastry, but the filling was OK. He also had broccoli and mash. Together with 2 Appletisers, the bill came to £43 which was too expense for what it entailed. Not somewhere I'd return to.

We visited today, family of 3 and our dog who was allowed in the bar or in the beer garden. The beer garden is lovely with plenty of well spaced tables and for younger children lots of play equipment. Very clean and well kept. Ordering can he done via app at the table or in the bar if you want to order with a human 😉 It was fairly busy but our food and drinks came in a reasonable time and the food was lovely. Chilli burger , scampi and children's sausage. All was presented well and tasted great and was reasonably priced especially considering how overheads and produce prices have rocketed. We also saw the carvery which looked delicious too so may have to go back for that. Overall a great experience, we will definitely go back and would definitely recommend.

Lots of empty tables outside we thought we would stop and have lunch as the big a frame board outside stated home made lunches. My partner went in to get a menu only to be told we do not do food. Might explain all the empty tables. I would suggest removing the a frame advertisement as well to save wasting other peoples time.

Went to the bull for lunch with three friends. Food was probably the worst I’ve ever had in a pub. Not a pleasant experience!

Nice restaurant bit pricey food was good, table service for hot food. I use a stick to walk but no help in taking food and drink to table

Order missing several things as well as incorrect items. KFC are without a doubt the worst on QC.

Got there just before it closed and Ollie was very nice and polite, despite probably having a very busy day. He didn't even ask for my NHS badge (he saw I was tired and dead behind the eyes) and wished me a good rest of day. Such a simple thing, but it made me happy and very appreciative of my coffee! Thank you, Ollie, I hope you get a raise! (The coffee was spot on too!)

Not sure why there are negative reviews. This my local chippy and I can honestly say I’ve never been disappointed. Just finished my cod and chips. The cod was freshly cooked and was superb and the chips were delicious. I highly recommend.

Always good here for a takeaway. We've been rather a lot in the last 7 years or so of living in the area. We usually have the same thing, (Set meal for 2(B) ), always well cooked & nice & excellent value....& usually enough to have some for lunch next day lol! We have compared with others in the area, though for us, New China is the best of them. Xx

I ordered a few things even though the food was lovely i ordered Cantonese Style Sweet and Sour Chicken and I didn't receive it

Food and drink was really nice but they were so slow 🦥 😴

Never been before so thought we’d check it out! Cafe gave garden centre vibes, busy, plenty of menu choice and large cakes. Was not wowed by the English breakfast. But sausages good quality so always a win! Generous portion. But I wish it had of come with beans! Instead I got cress on top which seems strange On a full breakfast but went with it! Food came pretty fast. We visited on a weekday. The waitress was friendly and polite.
