The best restaurants in East of England

Simply put. The best Peri Peri Chicken food by Far. Chicken is grilled to perfection.

First visit, service was a little slow at first but improved. Food was delicious but be warned: the korma is spicy! Couple of us got the korma thinking it would be mild and it wasn't! Asked for some yoghurt which we were given. I would advise asking what dishes are mild when ordering. However the food was tasty and we all enjoyed our meals. Good cocktails and mocktails as well. Would definitely eat there again.

Fabulous food and service. We were surprised it wasn’t busier. Brilliant value for money. This is a hidden gem needs to be discovered.

Visited Masons for my birthday meal with 5 others. All of us loved the food, excellent quality & fantastic taste. Perfectly cooked meat. Attentive service & beautifully renovated restaurant. Highly recommend.

Never usually disappointed when I come here but this wasn't the best dinning experience I've personally had at Ali Tandoori and I've had many brilliant nights here over the years. Last time I left a 5 star review but on this occasion I'm struggling to justify giving 4. All 6 of us had a great time but it was more down to the good laugh/company we had than it was from usual 'AT' high standards and as a business if your going to charge full pelt and not do any checks, honest feedback is what should be expected. First of all They seem to have upgraded the look of their features which gives the restaurant a more stylish appearance. Upon arrival the waiter assumed and was almost quite persistent that we all wanted cobra beer. Given the fact that we had just come out of a pub that served us top quality German pilsner, I'm pretty confident in saying this wasn't the first thought on our minds but we just went with it. Popadoms were paper thin and I mean literally soo thin that you could break one up in to little pieces and comfortably fit it in your mouth. The chicken in my curry was dry/overcooked. I noticed this when I bit in to a piece and I could feel and hear that squeaky/rubbery noice you get as I was breaking it down with my teeth. This suggested to me that it was reheated which was a great shame and very surprising. Their was no table check (this is basic stuff) I also asked for a coke in between my meal and I was given a cobra beer then at the end they tried to charge us for it after I sent it back. Overall food wasn't quite up to the typical standards and staff could have been a bit more patient and attentive. These little glitches were all pretty 'un-Ali-Tandoori' like and I hope they won't reappear when we return next month.

Popped in for a late lunch. Sat by the fire with our dog. Enjoyed a game of Connect 4 and an amazing lunch. Atmosphere is friendly. Lots of friendly locals. Enjoyed our time and will be back. Pie and Salt Beef Brisket were excellent. Thank you!

Travelling from Yorkshire to fly out of Stanstead on our annual holiday we were looking for somewhere to enjoy a nice relaxing meal before checking in. We made a reservation at the Pig and Truffle and we were very impressed with our experience. The staff were extremely accommodating and despite a quiet day, due to the England final we were catered for and cared for with a very impressive meal that was truly delicious. Thank you ever so much for a thoroughly enjoyable meal in a lovely setting with excellent service.

food was great couldn’t fault it the staff were very friendly and welcoming our friend was 18 the day we went and was given a nice surprise by the staff we will go back and would recommend to others thank you

We called in to The Little Fish and Chip shop for our supper after spending a lovely afternoon in Southwold, we have been here many times, once again we had delicious fish n chips and my favourite fish cake, excellent quick service. Thank you for remembering us from the summer!!

Both my friend and I had poached eggs with avocado on toast, one with bacon and one with halloumi. They were absolutely delicious with spicy feta and pomegranate seeds - a combo I’ve never seen before but totally worked!

Must admit the visit didn’t start well. The car park is scruffy with bins, rubbish and sundry old equipment piled up and it doesn’t create a good first impression. Inside the welcome was warm and friendly but the chairs at the table we were shown to were scruffy and very stained. My first beer (London Pride) was sour, probably the end of the barrel, but was changed when I pointed it out and The Scarecrow much better. Not good so far. However, the staff were great and the food very good. Fish and chips was plentiful and beautifully cooked. The Hoisin Belly Pork something different and really tasty. Overall we all enjoyed our visit and would go again.

Lovely Christmas decorations,big variery of unusual presents from the gift shop and great customer service from friendly staff

One of my new fave places to stop for lunch. Amazing service from Jay as always 👏

Amazing fish and chips! Good price! Amazing service! They really are the cod fathers

Well what a strange place .You enter through a live amusement acrade. When you finally arrive you see this massive area with no atmosphere although the windows face the sea .We ordered the standard Sunday lunch which they mixed up the orders .Nothing worse than eating out of sequence with other diners . My fish and chips had no taste as the fish was frozen . It was empty and they still mixed up the service. The guy playing his guitar could play but as the place was empty we found ourselves shouting at each other. All in all we will never return to this restaurant.
