The best restaurants in East of England

We visited whilst on holiday in the area. We were greeted by very friendly staff. Although the restaurant was busy, being a Saturday evening, we were not rushed and enjoyed a leisurely meal. My friend is coeliac and the menu offered her lots of choice. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

New menu is disappointing as very limited. Friendly staff. Great climbing area for children, with lovely pods in the beer garden.

The strangest furnishings, but the most delicious and generous food! Kids menu available, large servings and friendly staff

A return for us and first time for our friends. This is a real jewel in an otherwise unremarkable, and sad, east coast town. Had the cockle popcorn again and it was sooooooo good. Main courses were really good (skate, monkfish curry and cod) with the fish cooked to perfection. One of the very few reasons to visit Lowestoft

Ordered cod roe chips and a battered sausage which was enemic batter was under cooked. Cod Roe was soggy under cooked and an inedible mess. Chips were obviously pre cooked and reheated . Won't be visiting this chippy again . Poplars is much better quality all round. (Picture proof attached)

Went to eat with a friend early Friday evening - the place was buzzing ! Great atmosphere. The food was delicious and reasonable priced and the service was good

It's ok but I would not go back

Had the ham, egg and chips for lunch and there was only one razor thin piece of ham on the plate. It was so thin I couldn't even taste it. I think the management are very stingy to pass this off as a portion and I will never go back there again or recommend the place because of this. That being said, the broccoli and stilton soup was divine as was the dark Belgian chocolate tart. I wish I had have complained at the time now but I didn't want to spoil the occasion and the waitress was so lovely. This is all on the management to ask the kitchen staff to serve up such meagre portions of ham. A very short sighted way to do business in my opinion. What a shame.

great atmosphere, lovely pulled pork burger, the staff were very welcoming and served me an amazing pulled pork burger for me to have with the right amount of flavour.

Lovely atmospheric pub. Excellent friendly and helpful staff. The food was very good and the service efficient and friendly. We were tired and hungry after a reasonably long journey and the meal at the Kings Arms made us feel human again! We will be visiting Norfolk again next year and the Kings Arms will be on our foodie list.

My wife and I went for a three night break to Ely and visited Lev Spice Indian restaurant on the first night for the Tuesday night banquet and wasn’t disappointed , lovely food , great service, lovely hospitality ; friendly staff . We enjoyed it that much we dined there the following two nights . We will definitely be back again, do yourself a favour if you like Indian food get yourself down to Le Spice , thanks to all the team for making our visit to Ely special .

Don't know if the food is any good, but don't use the app for booking !! Used the app to book a table for 8, got a confirmation etc, then got a last minute phone call saying they are fully booked. Sort your Web site out

Only popped in for a quick coffee and snack. Well worth it. Friendly staff. Quick service but it was quiet. We had snacks and cakes so would happily go back to try a larger meal.

Very good food with plenty of fresh vegetables.

Had not been here for a couple of years, delighted to find still the same excellence. Service discreet attentive and respectful, food quite delicious, additional servings offered. Excellent value. Will not wait so long to return.
