The best restaurants in East of England

This "little gem" in Rowhedge has a great atmosphere, the staff were very pleasant and the food, freshly cooked and delicious. What more can you ask for? We would thoroughly recommend a visit

I went here with my other half for the first time and had a lovely meal. No starters, a curry each and shared a side and naan. Not bad food and thought we will come back. That is until the bill came… The total was £81 (I would note written in a different pen to the rest of the bill) so we just went through to check they hadn’t added anything extra on as it did seem quite dear for what we had had. All looked fine. Then we looked at the totals and did a rough count up in our head and thought it couldn’t be right. Now we don’t normally sit going through our bill when we go out to eat as you like to think you can trust it is ok. Sometimes mistakes happen but we can’t see this was a mistake. We ended up being those people who got their phones out to calculate to ensure our mental maths wasn’t failing us and sure enough it totalled £51. We added it 3 times to check. I was giving the staff the benefit of the doubt trying to see that the 5 had just looked like an 8 but it was 100% an 8. Also they had written £81.50 and the bill was in actual fact £51.15 so even the pence was wrong. My other half handed it back and just said “there is a mistake” and with no fuss the waiter took it away and brought it back to us amended to sure enough £51.15 and the waiter just said “you are right.” So all the behaviour alluded to the fact they knew they had tried it on with us. They also couldn’t thank us enough when we left. I was presented with quite a large chocolate bar when the bill came which was quite random and could have been a distraction technique. We got it resolved no fuss or dramas but it’s a shame as the food and atmosphere was nice but it’s not nice to know you are trying to be conned. Just makes us wonder how many other people they’ve done it to who haven’t noticed or questioned it. A 60% mark up is huge!! Sad to say we won’t be going back.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Meat and vegetables first class. Yorkshire pudding not brilliant today - a little dry - but has been good on previous visits - so probably a blip. Cauliflower cheese , beef, roast potatoes and swede mash first class.

Ordered a halloumi kebab and received this. The halloumi was deep fried, there are no veggies and there was no pitta bread. The halloumi had soaked up all the oil and it was like eating a spoonful of grease. The cheesy chips had practically no cheese on them too, just a little sprinkle. Don’t recommend.

Great guts and friendly I was just passing but update opening hours :)

Great food fantastic staff couldn't wish for better

I ordered for 20 people for my husband's 60th and everything was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the food was fresh and delicious. Thank you so much.

Went for Christmas meal and oh my word what an amazing place. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, really warm welcome on arrival, great tasting food. As a wheelchair user, it was really accessible with an automatic door as well making it easy to get in. Highly recommend, we'll definitely be back. Thank you everyone at St Lawrence cafe, you are all amazing.

Lovely fish and chip shop, always great for a great service. If driving you do only get 30 minutes free parking and then you have to pay and the parking

Best restaurant fish and chips ever

Fantastic village pub, great pizzas! Would highly recommend! Kids also loved it!
