The best restaurants in East of England

(- the 1 star, had to give it otherwise it wouldn't let me post my review) Ordered X2 (No' 23) kebab meat with homemade chilli sauce, onion and chips. Have to say it went straight in the bin, chips were raw, kebab meat didn't look cooked and tasted horrible, 🤢 the chilli sauce looked like grated carrot, only decent thing was the onions. Menu is also in the bin, will NEVER order from there again.

This is now called Georges but is still a chip shop. The staff are cheerful and happy to help and meet your requirements. I went on Saturday to buy fish, chicken, savaloys and chips for a number of us and asked for the sothern fried chicken amongst other things and had quite a long wait as it was freshly cooked for me. When I got home with the food it was all piping hot and we had a nice meal. The portions are quite large and you will know that you have had a feast when you are finished. Well done can't wait to visit again when we wre in Billericay.

It is difficult to review this place as I have never found it open. I did ring one time last year to book a table and had to leave a message on their answering service and I am still waiting for a response. I have heard that it serves good food and it did have a lovely open fire and a cosy atmosphere There is plenty of parking. I was once called The Snooty Fox and has had several changes of name is the past few years.

This is a beautiful boutique cake shop in Old Welwyn, with the most delicious cupcakes, cakes, sandwiches and afternoon teas. It's run by an absolutely lovely local lady who makes the most amazing bakes! The shop is really pretty and quaint, with beautiful crockery and a lovely friendly vibe in the centre of Old Welwyn. The shop has a fantastic range of cakes and treats, including options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free, which is brilliant. I often admire their celebration, birthday and wedding cakes online as well - they look amazing (maybe I need to get married again ;) ) Will definitely be back!

Unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to eat at this restaurant, I booked a table on 29th of May nearly one month before the reservation date. I was called less than one week before my reservation date, I couldn't answer the call and no voicemail was left. I then get a call the day before I was due to go there to be told that restaurant was closed and that they were on holiday. The male member of staff was not simpathetic or particularly apologetic to the fact that I was left without a reservation at such short notice for my wedding anniversary and daughters birthday dinner. I am Portuguese and was looking forward to eating there as the reviews are very good.

Return visit so we knew what to expect so wasn’t surprised to get a great full english breakfast. Quality ingredients is the key here along with really friendly helpful staff. Great place.

Had the best night here lovely pub everyone so friendly and the staff are amazing can't do enough for you , Also the rooms are lovely to bed so comfortable everything you need little fridge with little snacks coffee and t and breakfast cereal and biscuits . Definitely stay here again so if you thinking of staying over in Cambridge you definitely want to book into The Kings Head .

Great place to relax and chat, wonderful atmosphere and decor, good service, music great but slightly too loud though, turned down a little would make chatting easier. Fantastic place though, I love!

Having been a frequent visitor to this pub over the years and supporting it during and after Covid we were disgusted by the Landlord's behaviour. I was having a drink with a few friends and because my very well behaved 12 year old left the front door slightly open he kicked it shut and became aggressive towards us. We didn’t feel safe being female. He told us we were not welcome at the pub and said he didn’t care if we left. We were absolutely stunned after sitting there in peace and spending the best part of £22 on 2 pints and cokes. The Landlord hates kids of any kind. After happily taking my money for the drinks he then shouts this isn’t a place for kids! It was 4pm on a Sunday afternoon and they were happy sitting outside in the garden. No wonder this pub is failing and the one down the road is thriving. Never coming here again. Don’t bother.

I absolutely adore jacos food is great lovely cup of tea the atmosphere is amazing every one talks to you the staff are so friendly and polite they should be proud of themselves I go in 2 to 3 times a week lovely place x

nice people , always welcomed there , food is consistently good

Went in . Fought my way past the takeaway que to stand at the fresh meat counter to be ignored . Walked out in disgust. Was eyeing up some nice steaks and chicken. Some bacon looked good too but will never know how good.

Really nice staff and lovely food. Very welcoming and would recommend! Dog friendly inside and outside. Would definitely come again.

The food, drinks and setting are amazing. Very affordable and the owners and staff are an absolute delight. Excellent views across the estuary just add to the charm.

We were visiting as a special treat for our sons birthday. The service from the waiting staff was very good and the food came out nice and quick. This is an expensive restaurant, expect to pay around £50 a head just for the main meal so I was expecting good quality food. However, I was very disappointed with the quality of my piece of steak. I always order rib eye and I fully understand this is a fattier cut of meat compared to say sirloin or fillet but the majority of the meat was inedible due to sinue and thick, white fat, the type that is never going to melt when cooked resulting in chewy inedible meat. I did bring this to the attention of the waitress who then asked the manager to come over. She did apologise but then went on to say that it was just my ‘bad luck’ due to the cow! She went on to explain that all cows have different levels of fat and I had just been unlucky! This is no way to talk to a paying customer and more so, insult my intelligence! I am shocked to have experienced such bad customer service from a very respectable restaurant. On their website it says their philosophy is, I quote : “Prime is built upon our passion for delivering both an excellent service and the highest quality of food.” On this occasion, the service and quality of food did not meet their so called standards and I have been left feeling very let down and angry. When I received the bill, I had still been charged full price for my steak which I was surprised to see as I hadn’t been able to eat it. I paid the bill including the steak because it was a family meal which didn’t want to spoil it and thought I would express my disappointment formerly. I did email them but they never even had the decency to acknowledge my email hence why I am writing this review.
