The best restaurants in East of England

A wonderful afternoon tea in beautiful surroundings, lovely traditional tearoom and excellent service . Couldn’t fault it . Can’t wait to return.

We had spent some time looking for a cake and coffee stop and found this hidden gem by chance. We came quite late in the day so there was not as much choice of cake as there could have been but the rocky road we had was the best we have ever tasted. Absolutely amazing. The man who was looking after us was so friendly and made our visit very very enjoyable. Thank you

A lovely cafe with home cooked food. A hidden gem to be sought out, staff friendly and helpful and service excellent. Nothing too much trouble. Shelves of secondhand books, some rare and very old. Local artists sell and exhibit their wares in store. Handmade gifts to purchase. Prices reasonable.

After a long walk on the beach we decided to go for a takeaway on our long drive home and it was possibly the best decision we made. Food was amazing! The portions were spot on (I’d say they are larger portions than I expected) and excellent value for money. Even the packaging was brilliant! We had the mixed grill, chicken pita and grilled halloumi. 100000% recommend. Best takeaway in Fakenham by miles!!!

Best latte we’ve ever had. Creamy, with great coffee taste. Interesting selection of foods, cards, books & more. Lovely outlook.

So pleased we finally found the time to go to this lovely cafe. My daughter has multiple allergies and most normal cafés have barely anything she can eat. It was amazing that she actually had some choice and we felt normal for once. The food was delicious too. Thank you! We will definitely be back. 😍

What a great little place this is - a real asset to the high street with an interesting menu and wine list. We were there on a very busy Friday evening and staff were working hard to serve everyone with drinks and food orders. We had a bit of a wait for our food but, in the meantime, we enjoyed a bottle of wine and we got chatting to a couple of ladies on the next table - it's that type of place, friendly and informal. Our sharing platter was fabulous, I love this idea of a bit of everything on a plate! All in all, a great evening and experience. Our only disappointment is that we don't live nearer to De la Terre - we'd be frequent diners if we did!

Football pizza is the talk of the town. We needed something cheap as we have a big family and ordered a few pizzas, the delivery was so fast and the kids loved it. I will highly recommend and will order again.

The food is 4* or more however a family dinner at a restaurant needs more than the food On Friday evening the Maitre D' was in a very obvious sour mood, his manner towards staff and ourselves as customers was abrupt, a bit intimidating and almost discourteous. I had suggested The Shish as our venue because it has good reviews. Really disappointed by the bullying tone of the maitre d'. I felt embarassed by the atmosphere that this created for our family visitors. A large non-itemized bill was presented at the end of the meal. The maitre d' seemed very put out when I requested an itemized bill. More than £20.00 had been 'automatically' added in service charges! The young lad who was serving was polite and helpful, but this was completely clouded by his line manager's impatient and hectoring stance towards his team and our family- his customers. Upsetting, and we won't be coming back.

Great tent space outdoors - perfect if you have little kids that would struggle in a small indoor space. Delicious pizza and beers.

Amazing fresh pasta ( mezze maniche ) I had cooked at home and the result has been fantastic thanks

Excellent - many, many thanks! :)

Best food van ever. Great food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Highly recommended a visit when you’re in harwich.

Relaxing ambiance tasty dishes and top notch service make this place truly memorable
