The best restaurants in Waveney East of England

We had the best chocolate cake ever! And it came with story, as the rest of our meal. Friendly owner and quite an experience having the whole place to ourselves including listening to our own playlist.

Great new cafe, excellent cup of tea and a panini, was recommended by a colleague and I will definitely return when next in Kessingland. 10/10

We visited today and had a lovely warm welcome, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere was great!! We would definitely be back.

Really good food, freshly cooked and a lovely host/service. Couldn’t ask for anything better. They were so accommodating to myself and my group. Will definitely be coming again soon xx

The best coffee in Beccles bar none, this is the go to destination for any serious local coffee lover and drinker. Always a relaxed ambiance, we heartily recommend!

Always a delicious meal and inexpensive. I've visited many times for lunch, dinner and afternoon teas and always receive a friendly welcome. I have no hesitation in recommending East for any occasion.

Had a superb Sunday lunch today with friends. High quality, excellent value and faultless service. Would not hesitate to recommend and will look forward to returning again soon.

fantastic coffee fantastic fruit scone lovely Staff well sanitized tables well spaced well recommend a visit well done everyone

The best butcher I've been to?quite possibly. Everything is just quality. I love their mighty pork chops sometimes with a bit of kidney. All their bbq fare is spot on, and their seasonal faggots are incredible. The cheese counter is amazing too if you fancy some up market cheese with bread and wine on your hols. Local honey sold too. So more than a butcher! Family are lovely serving and and it's now sons and daughters on the sign 👍

What an excellent find, tucked away in the corner of Beccles Common. Our Springer Cookie was first through the door and made very welcome. We sat outside in some very comfy garden chairs had a coffee and tea with a sausage roll and cheese scone, if it wasn’t cheesy enough came with an extra pot of cheese. Both came warm and hit the spot. Service was excellent and very reasonably priced £15 for our delights. Good place for a break after a dog walk although I do feel I would walk out of my way if I was in the area again

Absolutely brilliant, a real hidden gem. The food and service was excellent. It was so good, we even brought a takeaway.

Booked a table, not realising that the restaurant did a Sunday Roasties menu rather than tapas. The choice was good, and the roast my wife had and the muscle dish I had were very, very good. We went back a few days later for the tapas!!

My wife and I called in here on our wedding anniversary for a drink and we're so impressed we booked a meal for the following evening and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and very well presented, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the selection of drinks available is perfect. We will definitely be returning

Honestly this place was quite average. Had heard good things about the food but we were quite disappointed. The calamari was chewy in places and the pepperoni pizza looked and tasted like a frozen pizza (harsh but truth). I ordered a dish off the specials which was listed as chicken alfredo. I feel as though they definitely should specify on the menu that this is NOT pasta and that it is in fact chicken in a mushroom sauce with potatoes. It tasted fine but nothing to rave home about. We were a little disappointed as we were seated in the snug at the front which was cramped and draughty. The staff were pleasant enough, no complaints there. Unfortunately wouldn’t return.

Delicious food, good ambience and entertaining lunch with Desmondo’s and a one of our group reciting poetry from Christopher Matthew and one friend reciting Stanley Holloway with Albert and the Lion. Booked again for another entertaining lunch next month!!!!!
