The best restaurants in East of England

Lovely gelato and great flavours between both shops (Letchworth and Hitchin)

Great food and service, can't wait to come back

Good music , nice folks and the Gin!

Visited SALT sandwich bar and enjoyed two lovely sandwiches, a side salad, crisps, and drinks. The food was delightful, but the service was a bit slow. On both occasions, the manager or owner appeared quite stressed. Despite that, it's a good place with a stunning interior.

If you’re looking for a large portion of wonderfully cooked spareribs this is the place to go. Recommend making reservations ahead of time. Great service!

Proper old school ‘caff’ - friendly staff and well-cooked food. Asked for a small sausage, chips and beans for my son (not on the menu) which wasn’t a problem, they even cut the sausage up for him, my younger son had beans on toast and they cut the toast into fingers for him without me asking. Small details but that extra effort didn’t go unnoticed. My fry-up was spot on. Look forward to going back!

We have just returned from a delicious lunch at the Saddle. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious.We had fish and chips and steak and chips.The fish was delicious lovely crispy batter and the steak was very well cooked. The chips were also delicious. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was not busy which is a shame as the pub offered real value for money in a friendly environment.We will certainly return. Thank you .

This tearoom has the most scrumptious cakes. Everything is homemade and the place is lovely and clean. Love their breakfast sandwiches too!

Delicious fish and chips with mushy peas and a nice hot mug of tea. We ate-in and our meal came on proper plates which were hot. Lovely clean and tidy shop. The staff and service were excellent.

Perfect location for a cocktail in the sun. Service was exceptional and friendly. Cocktail was to die for. Enjoyed our drinks we booked the next day for breakfast. Food was hot, fresh & tasty. Again superb service from another team of staff. Such a happy place to be.

We visited brightlingsea today. On arrival we went straight to get lunch. Food was a good price and delicious. We had loaded fries and panini and my son had sausage and chips. We later returned and brought buckets and spades, bait for crabbing, more drinks and ice creams throughout the day. After regularly using them throughout day for refreshments we asked if we could have some boiled water to fill a flask for my 5 week old baby for his bottle and they charged us for boiled water! This I feel is disgusting. The café was heaving all day and they must of made a killing but to charge for boiled water has angered me and truly made me think twice about using this café again as I think that is greedy.

Buttermilk chicken burger was amazing lovely atmosphere helpful staff very clean good tunes good portions sizes and family friendly

Called here with a view to lunch to find it is now (end Aug) a smart looking Tandoori/Curry restaurant. We weren't looking for a curry lunch so did not stop.

very good nights have been had at the pizza loft. Good atmosphere and good food. Sadly the place has had to close for good on Saturday 13th August 2022 as the restaurant room is required back by Lings cycle shop. Very sad news.

After reading all the reviews me and my partner thought we would give it a go as was only down the road. What a mistake that was, the staff were friendly but food was shocking. Will not be coming back.
