The best restaurants in East of England

Nice location but not wheelchair or disabled friendly. Steps up to door and a slippery sort of ramp into cafe and gift shop.Requires someone to update. Gift shop a consortium of local artisans and very good item wise and price wise.

A Friday night meal. Based on previous reviews we decided to visit this period built pub. Our first impression was a lovely welcome by Alicia, the young barmaid, who went out of her way in everything we asked for. Food was delicious and were large portions, which we both thoroughly enjoyed. We'll certainly be back here again next time we visit the area, thanks very much.

Lovely venue (we sat in the courtyard garden), attentive but not over attentive staff and lovely food. Had the big breakfast and it was great and so big I skipped lunch!

Lovely cafe and very welcome after a long cycle ride. Tea and home made flap jack, delicious. Hope to come back again and enjoy your hospitality.

Standards are lacking, one person starts a fight and they're not the one who is asked to leave! Couldn't have felt less welcome if they tried.

Excellent service and excellent quality of food Staff very friendly and helpful. Food ALWAYS cooked fresh and nice and hot.

Disappointing, ordered a ploughman’s that arrived with rock hard sourdough bread, this was changed to a soft slice of bread when we brought it to the attention of the staff, wasn’t asked was everything ok at any point, we were totally ignored by the staff in-fact, Although they were extremely friendly to other tables.

We called in to ask if they were serving food. The landlady said they were new, only taking over in May, and the previous landlord had taken the kitchen with him when he left! So no food at the moment until a new kitchen is fitted. We stayed for a drink. The landlady was very pleasant and obviously frustrated with the situation. I wish her well.

Lovely restaurant very clean .And wonderful staff would recomend to anyone .My very first eating Turkish food delious

Second time ordering and once again a very good curry! They gave us extra bahjis and free Bombay potato which also tasted amazing! Considering the prices as well this restaurant is great value!

Been coming here for years now always been great - bless coffee, friendly staff, great atmosphere and good music. will continue to come here

Stopped for a midmorning cuppa and tea cake. Also to pick up a order of various cakes for Yule. The two waitresses were both charming and professional. Kirsty took time to have a friendly chat despite being very busy. A very pleasant experience and will definitely be returning.

Excellent variety of food , delicious cakes and good coffee. Well decorated cafe, clean and efficient service. After having visited a couple of times during a stay with my family who reside in Billericay. - I feel I have to agree with the TripAdvisor comment made way back in March of this year - some members of staff are abrupt - not to us personally but to one or two of the other customers. One subject was confusion over being able to make a booking..... I feel perhaps the ‘team’ need to jell more and work with the same set of rules. Otherwise I loved it!

Had double Sausage & Chips and was excellent, friendly service and really tasty, a great little eatery tucked away. Often they can disappoint but this one was spot on.

Lovely afternoon tea and excellent service. Highly recommend. Polite, lovely setting and staff are very helpful. Would come back
