The best restaurants in East of England

Given incorrect restaurant dining times by reception, so unable to eat before attending an event. Booked in for one night only thankfully, as service in the restaurant was extremely slow - had a 25 minute wait for someone to take our dinner order and was told it would be another 35 minutes until we received our food. Breakfast was no better - they forgot all about us so it was a 40 minute wait for the order to be taken, then another 30 minutes until it was served. In their defence they did waive any charge as an apology for forgetting us, but the food was cold when we finally received it.

Harlow itself is horrid. Narrow minded people. Restaurant has Horrible service. They don't give wifi service. Prayinto your private information. Suspicious behavior from waiters. Food is below average. There was stone in my food. Some part of it is half cooked. Waste of money.

Got home no garlic nan bread .. ruined our family meal .. as we had ordered light as it was .. avoid

Best build ur own pizza on town

Walked in Sunday afternoon with no booking, staff were so accommodating and friendly, made sure food was available and offered us a table. The food was amazing! Huge Yorkshire puddings, plenty of vegetables and vegetarian options available too. Will definitely be returning.

The beef casserole was superb that was enjoyed in the large and open sunny garden off a very quiet country lane. Food was accompanied by good beer served by an amusing and chatty pub owner. Thoroughly recommended!

Called on the off chance and managed to get a table. Welcomed immediately as we walked in. Pub was packed and was told our table was just being cleared. We were also served immediately and as our drinks were ready so was our table . The service he is amazing with very polite staff . Food was amazing and had ho E made desserts. I would highly recommend to others. Also this is a dog friendly pub and you are supplied with a dog blanket and a bowl of water, which is a nice welcoming touch.

Portions getting smaller and smaller

Lovely restaurant great food rapid table service for a very busy restaurant. To be honest the food is exceptional. Reasonable prices.

We have come here several times now for lunches and it’s always delicious food and lovely service! The staff are polite and kind. The food is amazing and very good portion sizes! I thoroughly recommend coming here! It’s lovely in the summer outside too.

Nice food but the staff took to long to make the food and didn't speak English They also siad they'll get my food and took 15 minutues to get it!!!

Great community pub! The guy who greeted us and took our orders was amazing and so attentive. Great food and dessert. Very welcoming and felt very relaxed about the whole evening and meal. The chocolate fudge tart was incredibly rich but with the crème fresh it cut through the tart and gave such amazing flavours. 5/5 Came back this Sunday for roast lunch and while the beef was amazing and cooked great! the vegetables were undercooked and the women running the pub instead of being apologetic said it's Al dente which is fine for pasta but not root vegetables that require me to put strain on the knife to slice through. 2.5/5

Mouth watering burgers, really good rosemary fries. Definitely recommend

Delicious Suffolk chorizo and local cheese baked potato served with a great cuppa! Our dog was made very welcome and the service was great.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Black Horse (12.15pm). A few niggles which stopped me from giving 5 stars but would give 4.5 if I could. Nothing major and they were dealt with well but it wasn't fault free. The biggest issue we had was the beef. Whilst 2 of our party had pork and lamb which were both very good, the other 2 had beef and it was not up to the same standard unfortunately and not as good as other places we have visited for a similar price. The rest of the meal was very good though as were the desserts and drinks. Would definitely come back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend though. Very nice Sunday afternoon atmosphere and nice place with a nice buzz.
