The best restaurants in East of England

Excellent cafe, fantastic menu and choice of lunch options. Good location, and staff were helpful and very nice. I would fully recommend this cafe.

Food was great as always, the sharing platters were a great choice for us. Front of house very attentive and friendly. Made it a great experience and we all had good fun.

This is a favourite local or ours and even though they were super busy today, the service is always 5* and nothing is too much for them. Service with a smile - always. This place also does the best coffees. Thank you again

Great bar staff always welcome. I can take my dog or kids. Friendly place!

Decided to walk to the nursery from Stanton, and what a lovely day was made out of it! We stopped at the cafe to have lunch, and the food was lovely. Nothing fancy, but was warming and fueling after our walk. The staff were lovely, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We were able to do some crocheting, and ended up staying until close! Would definitely like to come back again!

Beautiful pub, friendly staff, great ales, highly recommended.

We have visited this family run restaurant a few times and it never fails to impress. From the warm welcome upon arrival from Enrico Jr and Sabrina, the attentive service and mouth watering food that leaves you wanting for more. There is nothing more to add. We will definitely be booking again soon …

Always very obliging and polite.

Lovely pub with lovely staff and lovely food! What more can I say. The two of us, plus our 2 dogs, were welcomed to the pub, where we enjoyed good locals beers and excellent home cooked food. Wish we lived nearer. Well done , a proper pub!

We can't say anything about the pub - unfortunately it was fully booked that evening. The two motorhome parking spaces are in the pub car park. Sanitary facilities are rather simple, but clean and the warm water works too. However, there is no disposal option for gray water or chemical toilets. It's quiet at night. Fine for an overnight stay before or after the ferry.

The old punch bowl is the place to be at the week days and weekends, the selection of gins is a huge success. They offer great food at a reasonable price and worth your money, the team behind the bar are always helpful. They have a very good sized garden to enjoy a beer in the sun.

Absolutely brilliant evening. The only fault was we had to come home.

Best Thai restaurant in Ipswich, excellent quality, incredible flavours, beautiful dish presentations, lovely decor, very relaxed and calming to dine in. I especially appreciate how they will tweak dishes to accommodate my dairy and soya intolerances. Attentive service that is not intrusive, I have dined there a few times now and never left disappointed, finding myself craving the lamb massaman with a glass of Merlot in between!

For a set price you get three exceptional courses. The price we paid was £49.50 per person. The host Peter is a warm friendly person. Ideal for front of house. His wife is the chef. After an appariteth we were shown to our table. My wife and I both had prawns as the starter. They were huge and very meaty. Next we had chateaux briand for two. The meat was excellent. Finally my wife had two sweets from the sweet trolley both excellent. I had crumbly stilton and biscuits.My wife liked white wine and I prefer red, so Peter opened a bottle of each and we only paid for the amount we had drunk. A nice touch.On the down side the restaurant is only open on Fridays and Saturdays. Also as it is very popular, when full it is quiet noisy but don't let that put you off a fabulous restaurant.

What a find! Lovely hotel, beautiful grounds, super comfy bed. Only stayed one night but would return. Food was fabulous too.
