The best restaurants in East of England

We had the pleasure of experiencing Cinnamon last night for the first time . Celebrating my mother’s birthday . From the minute we arrived until the minute we left, the service received was nothing short of 100% Couldn’t fault a thing !! It was just perfect !! Thank you for a wonderful first time experience . We will be back for sure .👍

Expensive menu. Took ages arriving so that my granddaughter had to get a takeaway container, as she didn't have enough time to eat it before college . And while two of the meals were great, the mozzarella pesto roll turned out actually pesto and cheddar - not so nice as expected. No apology. The salad looked great but the dressing was not very nice. Disappointing but the setting was lovely of course by the river

Delicious food, friendly staff lovely well loved cafe

Staff really helpful and friendly. Food was great and a really good value for money with the student deal

Great food and service, the ingredients, quality and presentation is amazing. I'd would love to go again soon.

Distinctly average food, coupled with pretty poor service. The front of house staff was rather dismissive… didn’t crack a smile once and wasn’t accommodating when asking for a drink that was clearly possible based on available ingredients. A shame, as it looked to be a promising authentic Italian, but didn’t deliver on expectation.

Have drove past this place so many times and finally decided to eat here. Am so glad I did! Great food, the service was brilliant and I recommend you try the craft beer they have on their drinks menu!

The food was delicious, it took me back to Portugal. The service is five stars, very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back.

Absolutely awful .from start to finish . Rude staff , not very welcoming . Food was overpriced and poor quality. Rooms were okay but nothing special. Wouldn’t stay here again

So good I ate here twice in one day. I loved it!

My second visit. Again excellent service. Food is delicious and consistent, full of spice flavours. Complimentary drinks-thank you.

Myself & my daughter who was visiting from Gloucester fancied fish & chips. We googled vegan fish & chips nearby. Alberts hospitality was fantastic. The place is very small but also very busy which speaks volumes. Both traditional & vegan fish was delicious….but to be honest it will always be the excellent hospitality that wins the day for us. ❤️❤️

Tasteless food served on shoddy bowls. Prices were nominal but the quality was substandard. Chairs had worn away seats. Located in nice quiet place with good parking space.

First class food and fantastic service, just love this place, would recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves Italian

We haven't got a great many places to go in Clacton it feels. Black rock is always a winner, their steaks and the options of having it come out on the stone to cook to your preferred rarity is always appreciated. Staff are always helpful and happy to accommodate.
