The best restaurants in East of England

Great place for food and drink, very convenient location in town.

Avoid this place at all costs. We'd been sat at our table for 10 minutes, the waiter came and asked if we were ready to order. I said that we'd like to order some drinks first. Before i got the chance he walked off telling me he was going to check the system. We ordered olives to share, they were the ones you get in a jar. We didn't want starters as we wanted to have dessert. I ordered fillet of salmon wrapped in Parma Ham with fresh asparagus, sautéed veg and white wine sauce. The salmon was so over cooked it stuck to my teeth, it was not wrapped in Parma ham, that was just plonked on the side of the plate. There was no asparagus. The sautéed veg consisted of 1 new potato, 2 slices of carrot and 1 piece of brocoli. The white wine sauce was congealed gunk. I sent it back. It took the waitress 15mins to come back and tell me they had no more salmon. By this time my partner had finished his main. He had liver, was supposed to come with onion and bacon, that was missing and the red wine gravy looked more like dishwater. I decided not to have another main and requested a dessert menu. After being given the menu it took the waitress 25 mins to come back and take the order. I just requested the bill. The waitress had the cheek to say we haven't charged you for your main course. I had ONE bite out of it before sending it back. They also didn't charge me for one of my drinks. Will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Best place to eat in hitchin. Great family run business! Couldn’t recommend more highly! The food and the staff are 10/10

Was recommended to this cafe by a friend and he wasn't wrong. Great menu choice and the milk shakes are great.

I recently enjoyed the Norris Breakfast at The Tap Room in St Ives, and it was absolutely outstanding. Beautifully cooked and bursting with flavour, each component was perfectly prepared and presented. The atmosphere added to the experience, with a cozy vibe and friendly staff who made us feel right at home. From the quality of the ingredients to the care in every detail, The Tap Room really knows how to deliver an exceptional breakfast. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting St Ives!

BEST Lamb Passanda and lush Chicken Tikka. The lamb was so tender. Well done Rasoi. My first Just Eat experience was awesome.

We went on scratch this evening as we are staying locally and this was the first night of a new menu, what can I say absolutely fabulous food and very reasonable. We had the belly pork and our son had the tomato and cheese tagliatelle of the children's menu and these were absolutely brilliant the combination of fresh vegetables and to die for mash thoroughly recommended in fab surroundings. Also worth a mention as our son is a wheelchair user and like most very old buildings can be difficult to negotiate I managed to negotiate the 2 steps but a ramp is available and lastly the staff are great and very attentive 5 out of 5 👏.

Food is top-notch fantastic cafe the waitresses are very complacent and been there a long time you take your life in your hands one day they are nice the next day they are miserable not happy at all just ok and goodbye my mum is in a care home in Clacton and I visit once a week a news Davies as the food is nice but staff not so good

A very sweet bakery with wonderful bread/pastries and dishes. The coffee is excellent too. Lovely to sit outside in the village.

Had a lovely afternoon tea, which was beautifully presented. Nice to have the option to have it at lunchtime as ‘lunch’ although we still didn’t manage it all! Took the rest home for later - also lovely to be able to bring our dog too!

Thanks for hosting pilgrim's together on Saturday mornings.

Extremely disappointing experience as residents as bed and breakfast at the hotel is not cheap. The juice was orange coloured but had probably never seen an orange, no option of fruit or yoghurt with cereals (you can have either/ or), no choice of milk offered, no toast unless you have full English, no top up of tea or coffee offered and a chipped plate. Staff unable to confirm ingredients in a Continental breakfast which in any event apparently comes ready plated. It all seemed a bit penny pinching and for the sake of offering a couple of slices of toast and a pot of yoghurt a bit pathetic.

Awful food. Had the fish and chips, the batter was rock hard, almost burned, the fish was soo dried up it was non existent, and the chips had been heavily salted. I then ordered the sticky toffee pudding, it was more like a syrup pudding and not a very good one, The serving staff were lovely, really helpful and friendly.

10 out of 10 experience for sure! Unique romantic setting on a stationary boat. Lots of different birds swimming by for entertainment, while enjoying dish after dish of tasty Asian dishes.

My self and my partner went down there Friday afternoon the staff was very friendly the place was immaculately clean and the food was 5* we will only be going to there again for our take aways highly recommended
