The best restaurants in East of England

I would just like to mention how great the quiz was last night and what a great quiz master Kenny is! Had a great evening with great food, drinks and the quiz . Thank u team Valero

Abysmal.... everything had no taste. The beef curry looked suspect the chicken balls looked like they had a slice of hovis thick cut bread wrapped around it and deep fried. Tasteless chow mein and anaemic chilli beef. Think I'll stick with China inn

Something not quite right here. The main course, sizzling mixed meats (i chose chilli black bean sauce with it) was tasteless. No chillies, only two thin slices of green pepper. Portion small but adequate for me after my oysters starter. A bowl of rice is £5-£6, too expensive. Wine at £7 a glass is also too expensive and i cant drink a whole £28/£35 bottle alone. No music, so poor atmosphere, listening to four men on an adjacent table for two hours. I don't like the compulsory 10% tip added to the bill which was £60 for one person. Expensive.

My favourite cafe in Saffron Walden. The owner is so welcoming and the staff are attentive. The menu is so varied and all delicious. Portions are generous and threat value for money. Always busy and a great atmosphere. Don’t miss out on his great place.

Fast service Staff is nice but are rushing around Food nice I will definitely going back and I do recommend it Food Critic (Private)

Christmas lunch at Lovejoys with the family. Food great and very generous portions . The service was impeccable. Great day thank you so much.

Great food for a quick night out always our go to for the last 5 years especially if you can’t be bothered to cook. Get some quick cheap food

Great cooking and flavours. One of my trusted restaurants to go to. Would recommend. Not the best of decor more like a cafe but it’s the food that matters here.

We ate out every day during our Center Parcs stay (Bella Italia, Hucks and Forsters Inn) and overall Las Iguanas was the best main meal (with the exception of Pancake House) but still not anything outstanding. Portion size was decent and the food tasted pretty nice, but it was fairly standard, nothing special. It was a bit on the expensive side but all the restaurants are there. The food was brought over by a little novelty machine which was very entertaining! The main downside of this restaurant is that there were long wait times to have our drinks/food order taken and an even longer wait time for someone to take payment when the restaurant wasn't exceptionally busy. The food itself didn't take too long to arrive, but we waited almost half an hour to be able to pay the bill.... There was also an added optional 7.5% service charge (which is applied at all restaurants across Center Parcs) which would have taken even longer to get this removed so we reluctantly paid this one as we just wanted to get going. There was one waitress working in there called Jess who was the only one who seemed to be doing any work, she was amazing and was tending to all the tables (about 6/7 in total) where as the other two waitresses (one that I believed might have been a manager as she was dressed in different uniform) just kept standing round at the tills not doing much and both of them went outside for half an hour separately, leaving Jess to do all the work... Even when we eventually managed to ask for our bill, the woman I believed to be manager gave our dirty plates to Jess to clear even though Jess was already doing so much. Jess was really lovely and seemed like a very hard worker so I would like to give credit to her.

I have had breakfast here twice now. It’s a great prospect and the food is excellent. All portion preferences catered for, the mega is what it says and would feed two! Great value! The queue is a bit of a pain but they do serve fast and delicious coffees! Worth a visit

Haven't been to rasputins for a while not for any reason other than being busy. Didn't realise how lovely the food was here along with the friendly efficient service. They have also updated the menu... and have to say really loved the new addition of chicken schnitzel. So definitely worth a visit if your in swaffham and fancy something different. We won't leave it so long next time before returning.

been here many times pretty good for fish and chips that isn't by the sea side and costing more than a tank of petrol owner is friendly, polite and makes you feel welcome. loving the giant piggies in blankets, have yet to ask if he will batter one yet. Fish scraps are good. staple of battered sausage and chips is good.

Had a lovely evening in the Orange Tree yesterday. The staff were friendly and chatty. The pub, despite having been busy during the day, was clean and welcoming. The food was well presented and well cooked and great value for money. Well done!

We very much enjoyed our meal with pasta salad and pizza . Attentive friendly service and nice restaurant . Recommended.
