The best restaurants in East of England

A small bakery inside the Chelmsford Market. Unassuming. They didn't have the cream puff swans that tempted me here, but they did have something that looked like (to my US eyes) a light chocolate ice cream sandwich. I was told the filling is Belgian buttercream, sandwiched between two shortbread cookies. Absolutely delicious, and decadent. Better than a cream puff swan.

Got a few take aways and eaten once in the restaurant itself. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend.

The place is amazing very friendly staff friendly to talk to good price for everything quick and it a good place for a lunch break

Absolutely the best burger van in Peterborough, lovely staff, can have a laugh, and amazing food. Even do special deals on weekdays. I'd 10 star if I could. Must go 👍

The food was absolutely disgusting. Cold, greasy, and looked unpalatable. I couldn’t eat it and they didn’t even ask why. Avoid!

BEST cafe EVER! lovely staff, amazing food & great prices. lots of choice for food. Highly recommended & will be revisiting whenever im in the area

The guy with glasses makes the whole experience, he is so friendly & kind and can’t do enough for you! He is a great asset to the company :)

We eat here at least once a month, perfect breakfast at reasonable prices, 8/10. For a no frills café it's one of the best in Southend.

Me & my sister in law came down to Genting to try The Waterfront Restaurant new menu. Firstfull we have been greeted by the lovely receptionist who was really polite. Walking through casino felt like a mini journey to Vegas. We have then made our way to the bar. Within minutes we have been served by a really polite gentlemen, who had really good knowledge of the drinks menu. We have than entered the restaurant and had been greeted and sitted by the professional waiting staff . We had a table by the window which had an amazing Themes view. Our appetisers has arrived within couple of minutes, followed by the starters. The chorizzo bites and calamari was really tasty. My sister in law had ask for her Seabass to be not to spicy which came out perfectly cooked. I had a fillet steak with surf & turf which was done exactly to my liking. They also had a dj after 10 o'clock which created a very good atmosphere after few drinks. It was a lovely experience and I would definately recommend to anyone to come and try out this lovely place. I cannot thank enough all of your lovely staff who created such an amazing atmosphere and made our experience so enjoyable.

Amazing food every time and staff are really friendly. Food is always fresh and hot food cooked while you wait. A definite favourite for us

Good ambience, delicious 😋 verities and friendly staff. Overall my experience is nice I recommend everyone to order cake from here

I had a 50£ platter made up and it was amazing,all fresh and well presented. Good value for money and the winkle ladies are more than helpful to accommodate whatever your looking for. Would highly recommend winkles seafood

Came here with friends for a Sunday roast and am so pleased we chose here! The staff were so accommodating … from making sure there was access for our friend with a broken leg, to keeping the kitchen open late for us. Nothing was too much of an ask! The food was also outstanding … never seen four roasts polished off so quickly. Absolutely delicious. What a hidden gem, will definitely be back!

Great food, great value and great service from Dan. Hubby and I had sausage and bacon roll each cooked to our individual tastes, tea the same (how would you like it...strong, milky etc etc). Nothing was too much trouble and while cooking the locally sourced products to perfection he made a point of chatting. What a find - just shame that we were away for the weekend and do not live nearby. Thoroughly recommend.
