The best restaurants in East of England

I ordered Chicken Marsala and garlic cheese bread I was not disappointed food was absolutely delicious.

Had a nice breakfast here, the staff are so friendly and cannot do enough for you. Food is as expected and extremely reasonably priced, only downside this time was the sausages were a bit burnt! Other than that we will definitely visit again.

Delicious food cozy and very friendly. Perfect after a walk from Cambridge though the meadows. I had awesome shepherds pie and wife had confit duck.

Stayed on Mersea Island for a few days with friends for birthday celebration and was looking for somewhere to go for afternoon tea. Found The Gilt Rooms on Tripadvisor and decided to give it a go. We had to book for the afternoon tea but wow so worth it. Everything from the freshly made sandwiches to the warm fresh out of the oven scones and home bakes cakes (chocolate eclair, victoria sandwich, lemon drizzle and choc brownie were amazing. All washed down with a perfectly chilled glass of prosecco and lashings of tea or coffee. It was the absolute best afternoon tea I've ever had and have had a few. Will definitely visit again when there.

Fabulous food and a great venue. Just found our new favourite

Friendly staff .we were a bit late in the day but made very welcome .

What a wonderful venue! We went for a Sunday roast and got in before it got too busy. A really nicely done lunch, one of the best I've had. Very friendly staff which is always nice. Added benefits are that there is a large beer shop and huge antiques shop too! Really easy to lose half a day here. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely pub. Welcoming staff and locals. Food was delicious and dog friendly too!

This restaurant is absolutely amazing me and the hubby have visited the restaurant 8 times + in 2 weeks the food is wonderful every dish we have had has arrived piping hot the steak and mushroom pie in my opinion is the best I have ever tasted. The food is lovingly presented the staff are really friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble, thank you to you all see you in March.

Came across by chance and so glad we went in. Delicious reasonably priced Italian classics, and welcoming ambience and friendly staff.

The food here is just impeccable and so is the service. I will definitely be coming back. It is a bit pricey, considering previous visits I had.

Been several times during the year and it never disappoints. The Tuna is to die for, that it’s best I’ve ever had, beats the Spanish any day. I’ve also had the Ham, Egg and Chips, beautifully flavoured home baked ham, so full of flavour. Service is great, place is away packed. My son goes for the burgers and my husband the fish pie. Keep up the good work !

Excellent food and service fish and chips or Chinese can't fault anything 5 stars

I am going to write a fair review here. . The food was great. Very good. We really enjoyed it. However, had a really bizarre experience which I am not quite over.. we ordered a chicken tikka dansak vindaloo hot, but was served a chicken tikka masala vindaloo hot which does not really work. We told the staff that it was incorrect and one of them basically as good as said no it wasn't, we ordered that and kept saying "just try just try". We argued it but was not really being heard. He then offered to replace the meal but would take 15 - 20 mins so this was declined as our friend did not want to eat alone and wait. We would have been nearly finished. He did not enjoy the curry and left most of it. One staff member tried to make a joke and say " oh couldn't handle the chillies " in which we responded, no, the curry was wrong, we don't like it. We were ignored. The bill then came and we decided that due to the good food we would just pay for the wrong curry and not cause a fuss. The bill included service charge. We changed our mind when the staff member tried to get us to round our bill up to a "round number" despite already adding service charge. This is when I snapped. The attitude about the wrong curry was so so poor. As a response to me saying actually no, service is included and you've served the wrong curry etc etc he became very rude and aggressive. Told us we were wrong, it was what we ordered. We then asked to remove the service due to the shocking attitude and aggression. He even began to argue this. Other staff just watched. He was not happy at all and aggressively shoved me the card machine and receipt. Such a shame.. I can see some reviews below, and I think we might all be referring to the same rude, man. Will not be returning.

Took a friend for afternoon tea for her birthday, lovely little tea shop, excellent afternoon tea, would highly recommend
