The best restaurants in East of England

A wonderful meal for a special family occasion. Stunning food and lovely service. Highly recommend!

Love this hotel. Has on site parking, convenient to explore Norfolk, good dog friendly rooms with private garden and the team are really happy to help. My car developed a problem on the way down and Donna got on the phone and found a local garage to get it sorted in 2 hours. Lovely part of the world 🙂

Coffee and cake after walking the Essex way. Lovely views

I went for lunch and had a goats cheese salad . It was delicious and massive! I didn’t know whether to eat it or climb it ! I thoroughly enjoyed it and was absolutely stuffed by the time I left . They were also really accommodating to be allergies and the staff were charming .

Excellent pub food,good size portions cooked well ,we were a group of five and all meals and drinks were served promptly and politely,could not fault the service or the food

Had the worst ever fish and chips tonight. Got there early thinking I’d get the freshest fish just battered and crispy chips… I ended up with soggy chips and a battered fish that ‘looked’ crispy but when eaten was like wet cardboard in texture. Won’t be back! Never again!

We walk into the city weekly, the departure lounge is always our first stop. The main reason is, in my opinion it’s the best coffee in the city. We do not eat often but the food we have had is always good The current owner is a nice guy who always chats .

This is a handy spot for a quiet drink on our estate but with one problem a non conforming bar person who is so rude they way she serves people and plays a waiting game her manager is aware of her ways and she seems...

As good as the reviews say. Food is delicious and the staff are friendly. I opted for the big breakfast and an Americano coffee. Both were excellent, with the presentation on the plate very mouthwatering. Place gets busy. I saw one table was reserved while I was there. Place seems pet friendly, but dogs should be well-behaved as there is limited space. I will be back for more food!

Food was amazing couldn't eat it all managed to get a takeaway out of what was left lol. Service was both friendly and quick. There were a few tables already full when we arrived and we had not booked. So thank you Royal Bengal.

Amazing afternoon tea. A real treat with fantastic service aswell. I loved that you get given to start with rolls and we were given fritters but it could be sauasage rolls (we were told they there would be sausage rolls) the fritters were nice, a bit different. Then afterwards you get served by silver service to choose your sandwiches. Lots of choice to choose from, 6 different filling. Then you get the stand with the scones and deserts. All delicious. They provided boxes to take away the ones you can't eat because your full. There is a list of different teas with a large variety including lemon and ginger. I highly recommend this afternoon tea. I was also spoilt by the chef with writing Happy 50th Birthday in chocolate on a plate, that was a nice touch, thank you Pontlands.

Traditional pub with lovely staff.

A very welcoming experience thanks to the excellent heritage centre guides who knew their stuff and pointed us in the right direction. The Centre is a must visit not just for aged train spotters but for every one. The line has a new future with East West Rail which needs all our support to get locals back on trains. Great coffee and cake made the day.

Excellent food and very friendly service - we shall certainly visit again in the near future. The whole atmosphere was cosy and comfortable.

Came here a few times when on holiday. Had croissants, sausage rolls, sourdough bread, baguettes and cinnamon swirls. All amazing! Always a queue but worth the wait
