The best restaurants in East of England

This is my favourite local restaurant. The food is always spot on. The service is always friendly. I always have a lamb dish. Beautiful

had a brilliant birthday meal with family and friends, food and service was great as usual. Tried a few new dishes and they did not disappoint, especially the grilled chicken in dry chilli. Really busy but we were well looked after.

The best Indian I’ve been to in ages, lovely staff, amazing food, if I could order this food for delivery to where I live, I would every week!

Set in beautiful grounds, the staff were so helpful and could not do more. Would very much recommend a visit.

Had skate, which was over cooked, tasted rubbery, my husband could not eat it.

One of our favourite places to eat when we visit Mersea Island. The food is fantastic and the staff are always helpful and pleasant. My mother is in a wheelchair and gets very apprehensive going out but the access here is perfect and the tables are really spacious.

The service and food was absolutely amazing and couldn't do enough for us, and we will definitely go back. The place was very clean and the food was very reasonably priced

Great to be back once again but have bad news from owner it's up for sale which is really disappointing but life will go on we hope

Really good food, really good service, and I can highly recommend the weeping tiger steak. The steak was really good and cooked perfectly. The chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. A really enjoyable meal.

Fun little Irish full of some great characters - friendly doormen as well

We've been here about 5 times. It's a nice atmosphere with friendly staff.

We had a fabulous Sunday roast here today, can’t complain about anything. The staff are friendly and welcoming and super attentive. We had two courses which was very well priced for the quality of food. One thing we would like is to bring back the scotch egg starter please.

Only ever sampled their breakfasts which have always been amazing and have the best traditional breakfast along with other more adventurous choices, like the loaded hasbrowns with multiple choice toppings, just an amazing menu variety for all. Excellent coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice and more. Each time I've been, I've felt slightly chilly, but that's the only criticism I have. Quirky little cafe which has a retro bands theme, child friendly and lovely location. Definitely a loyal, returning customer.

Visited with a big group for a baby shower, we had 3 preschoolers and a baby with us too. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating of our 3 young ones moving around and exploring. We felt very comfortable here and the owner even put Paw Patrol on for them so they could relax for a bit too. The afternoon tea was lovely and plentiful! If this was more local to me I'd visit more often, definitely recommend.

We visited this cafe/restaurant whilst visiting family in clacton. They use this lace a lot and we took them there for breakfast as they recommended it. We got a table straight away. We got the menus quickly, we ordered drinks and then our food. The waiting staff were all so friendly and polite. The food we had was very good, fresh and very hot. It was a good price for us all to have breakfast and drinks.
