The best restaurants in East of England

I highly recommend the Sunday roasts: both half chicken and the nut roasts were delicious and huge. The service was excellent and the staff really friendly. We will definitely go back.

We booked a table for 7 people for a birthday celebration on Sunday at The Queens Head, Tolleshunt D’Arcy newly opened carvery … The food was exceptional. There was a superb choice of meats , all cooked to perfection with a wide selection of delicious accompaniments…. Eat as much as you like therefore, exceptional value for money. The staff all made us feel so very welcome and nothing was too much trouble with the added advantage of a fantastic atmosphere. We would highly recommend. Thank you so very much for an enjoyable experience- The Ritchie Family

Proper pub stopped doing Sunday roast tho

Always go here when visit clacton best by far never go any other chippy well polite great atmosphere very big portions

SPOILER ALERT - Enzo’s closes this Sunday 3rd December. The Great raconteur, restauranteur is leaving. We have been entertained by this great man for years, he will be dearly missed

Great food. An amazing roast and a scrumptious Eaton Mess.

What an excellent choice of meals, starters and main courses and a specific lunch menu too!! 5 of us all had different meals and a pudding each as well. Everything was perfect. Good value for money too. The pub has been decorated and furnished well - tables not too close together. And the staff were amazingly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Probably one of the best pub lunches we've had for years.

Very nice Tea shop in a lovely place. The staff are exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend this delightful place.

Tried to visit Francesco & Amorosa for another superb Italian meal, but found the restaurant closed. Oh no. We have been eating at Francisco's for a few years now and always have fantastic food served with passion and friendship. The end of an era. Wishing you both a long and happy retirement. Affectionately yours; Claudio (Ranieri), Sylvia & Da Grandson. All the very best....

Been here previously but unfortunately it has now ceased trading. As out-of-towners we were unaware of this until a few days before we arrived. What a pity. It will be missed.

Great pizzas, lovely price and amazing taste!

Delightful owner/staff, really good and very home made food. Good portions and everything served with a smile. Excellent value. Classic British pub - busy enough but not too busy with a good selection of local beers. We felt like we were family members. A real, big recommendation

Hi,The jolly waggoner. Yes I ate with friends on Friday evening, I had also booked for the Saturday night as well, until we ate ...all I can say is all 9 of us were very disappointed with the food.5 fish and chips 4 of which were very dry/over cooked,one of these were so dry i sent it back after removing the skin to find the driest piece of haddock I have ever been served overcooked  dried fish. And a teaspoon of mushy peas in a McDonald's sauce pot.... again very dry it all looked like it had been under a kitchen hot lamp for far too long.i asked for the replacement to have the skin removed before it was cooked as I like the batter but not the skin.I got another not quite so dry haddock but still with the skin on !. Don't suppose it's very easy to skin pre - battered frozen fish. Obviously there are no chef's in the kitchen just a cook who takes things from the freezer and drops them in the hot fat fryer. Such a shame about the food as the staff out front couldn't have been more helpful or apologetic. Needless to say we cancelled the booking for the Saturday night and you also lost out on possibly eight Sunday dinners as well. Regrettably, T.claridge.

Best place in Colchester for Coffee and the food was fresh and tasty. Great atmosphere. Excellent service! Best wishes, Robert from Wellington, New Zealand.

I’ve been to the “cottage bar and bistro” twice in the last couple of weeks and have enjoyed the food on both occasions. I had the mussels to start followed by spaghetti with seafood. Both were nicely cooked with fresh seafood and very delicious. Previously I had calamari and sea-bass which were also lovely. The portion size was perfect for me. The service was efficient and the chef was able to offer an alternate for our friend who had specific dietary requirements. I will return as there are other dishes on the menu which I’d like to try.
