The best restaurants in East of England

If you like a traditional pub, then you will love this place, lovely genuine Tudor style decor, two fire places etc, staff who have a smile and really look after you, good selection of ale, great home cooked food at reasonable prices,, privately owned pub and not another nasty chain pub, great for couples, families and solo travellers, all are warmly welcomed at the Old Bell. If in the area, it’s the best pub for miles!

Firstly, I'm truly sorry to see you go. The East Coast has been the go to venue when we visit the area for some years. Many a family meal had been had here. Always excellent food, service and great value for money. It is a place I would (and have) recommend without any hesitation. I wish you every success for you and your team for the future. Thank you for your customer service and looking after my family and I over the years.

This restaurant was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere is great with beautiful ambient lighting, no irritating music or distractions. The food was absolutely excellent, very delicious, very well made and the service superb. Cannot recommend it highly enough, I've already booked to go back again!

Lovely pub. Great food. Friendly staff. Fairly priced drinks. Nice garden. Well worth a visit or two!

First Sunday lunch at the Heron and it definitely won’t be the last! Absolutely beautiful and lots of it, everything was cooked to perfection. I had the roast sirloin and my hubby had the Turkey. Can’t recommend this place enough!!

Excellent pie & mash. Not had better anywhere else that been to. Great service. Very efficient & friendly staff. Can't be beaten I'm my opinion

The Bell was recommended to us by friends. We tried it on Wednesday and were surprised how busy the restaurant was. Very professional service and a great choice on the menu. We will most certainly return

We were the first customers to be seated when we arrived upon opening and my husband and I watched as other customers arrived and get seated. We watched as the server went to their tables first to take their orders whilst we sat there seemingly unnoticed. I decided not to say anything just to see what would happen and one of the lovely ladies who seated us came back from whatever she had been doing and asked if we had been served yet. I said no and she was straight on it. Fortunately all staff on shift were well organized and the barista got through the drinks orders like a champ so we didn't have to wait too long. I ordered an oat milk latte and tarragon mushrooms, my husband had the full fry up. Food was delicious and hot. I felt the pricing was a bit off between our two dishes. Mushrooms on toast with 2 poached eggs and a bit of spinach £12 yet my husband's big fry up also had toast, eggs, mushrooms but then had beans, tomato, bacon ,sausages, black pudding for £14. Not a complaint, more of an observation. When we went to pay, the cashier read out what we had ordered and said Almond milk latte. Good job I don't have a nut allergy! Overall a nice experience, delicious food, friendly staff, excellent chef. Will return.

Rang at short notice to try for an early table and they kindly fitted me in. Lovely food and nice staff too. Went for the Chicken Panang which came in a nice rich sauce. Good sized helping too. Will be back when in the area again.

Lovely service, really tasty fish and chips! Friendly and accomodating, would recomend!!

Arrived by bus. Good coffee and pleasant staff but although members of Suffolk Wildlife we were expected to pay to visit our countryside and to see our birds. Is nothing free anymore.

Wonderful food, excellent and prompt service and good value for money. We had a selection of meals and drinks. Wonderful outside area to sit and eat too. Highly recommend.

Another amazing celebration cake from No. 142 Cafe. Lovely light sponge and beautifully decorated with fresh strawberries dipped in gold. Thank you.

They are really nice and the food is amazing! Totally recommend!

This is a small village pub that oozes atmosphere it's a hit with the locals who make my husband and I feel welcome each time we have visited us. There is an open fire for the cosy feel in winter the old building fills you with a sense of history which makes me feel it has many stories to tell. Through another door is a room for the sports fans with TVs showing sports and a pool table for those who like a game. The staff were welcoming but not imposing leaving us free to enjoy our time there. We have decided to visit more often
