The best restaurants in East of England

The food was great. The service attention and response to modifying the dishes was excellent. Mine host was very engaging and efficient. Will go again.

This van is worth stopping at. Great fried egg sandwich and delicious coffee. Lovely man serving! You can sit and enjoy the view of the estuary!

Had a great meal here early evening today with my grandchildren. Tasty, well cooked, homemade coleslaw ( not the usual industrial tasteless stuff - believe me, I'm an expert) and divine chips! Super service, great value too as one child eats free with a full paying adult. All very tasty and we will be going again!

This is a little hidden gem 💎. I was recommended by a friend to get a bispoke birthday cake made from here and I can say Hana didn't disappoint. Style, creative and taste spot on.

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!!!!!

What a find! Stopped at this delightful tearoom en route to Norfolk. We had lunch, delicious toasted sandwiches, followed by a wonderful slice of homemade cake. The lady (presumably the owner) was so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely lovely food and service. Wish I had know they were there before. Very reasonable price too. Good choice and will consider for takeout also next time.

We came in last week, as a family of 3. We were served within 3 minutes of being sat down, and our waitress Scarlet took very good care of us, even recognising myself and my daughter from the last time we came!! She was very thorough with the specials they had on at the time, and had plenty of patience with us when deciding. Amazing atmosphere, loved to watch the teams play football while we ate our food. We even got dessert this time, the sticky toffee was absolutely delightful. Cannot recommend the Sunday roast enough!! I went for chicken last time, this time tried the beef. Did not disappoint!! We will be coming back to say the least, and excellent service as usual from Scarlet. Look forward to coming back again!

We visited for coffee and cake as it had been recommended to us . We had barista coffee which was good and not too strong . Americano and a skinny cappuccino . My hubby had a warm sausage roll, pastry cooked well with flavour filled sausage meat. I had lemon drizzle cake which was a decent portion. It was moist and not too dense with plenty of flavour. Staff were friendly and they bring the order to your table. Seating inside and out. They do rolls and they do pizzas in the evening(haven’t tried these)

HUDSONS cafe has fantastic coffee, wonderful homemade cakes and a warm welcoming friendly staff. It’s my favourite place to go for a relaxing chat and refreshments.

Excellent place. Excellent food, excellent staff,large meeting room,fresh ground coffee, selection of teas. Luxury food. Extremely clean

Had a bite to eat with some business associates and we were flabbergasted by the phenomenal service provided to is by the romanian boy working there called Alin

Good food from Bari, execellent portions, crisp service and very authentic. The panzerotto in the oven, Calzone style is superb value at approximately £5!!!! Great service and staff b or tri-lingual. Nice atmosphere. Fab range of food on menu and very modern Italian cooking, unlike some restaurants in Bedford and environs. Well done! Bravissimi tutti! Maggie

It is not bad as a community place to help many people in need. The food and drink was nice but ee would like our meals close to same time.

Absolutely fabulous Burn’s Night experience at The Stables at Oaklands College. The food was excellent and the service attentive. Definitely will be returning on another Thursday night
