The best restaurants in East of England

Although more like a cafe than a restaurant this unexpected find in Clacton was a joy. Great Onion Baji and Chicken Biryani.

The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. The food came out in good time and very well presented. The taste from my chicken wrap was incredible, and the chicken was soft & moist. I would absolutely recommend this place and would certainly be coming back again.

Nice Cafe Too expensive Sausage Sandwich £6 Wow ! Beans on toast £6 ??? Breakfast a little high priced £13 with tea ?? I opted for jam in toast was lovely thick crusty bread x 2 home made jam and a tea £5.50 OK x Lower prices I would return ??

Would give a 3.5 if I could, got upgraded to a 4 in the end by the kids. Good points - clean, kids liked the cookie dough desserts Bad points - constant stream of delivery drivers which makes the wait seem longer when you’re dining in. It took too long at night for just 2 desserts, but loads of delivery orders went out instead. Also, no kids portions. £8 for a cookie dough dessert means, for a family, you’ll just share what your kids have (as the portions are too big for them so they’ll be wasted), rather than them having a small portion and you choosing your own.

really great staff, lovely environment made me feel so safe with my grandmother- such banging food. young man was really kind defo coming back!

I was booked on a bakery course to make Macarons on 17th March 2024. The class was cancelled a couple of days before by the owner. I have repeatedly phoned and emailed requesting a refund but have not had a money back and no apology. Would never use again.

I treated my daughters and their friend to ice cream and cookies, and they loved it. The ice cream was amazing- especially the mint aero, chosen by 2 of the girls. The guy serving us was friendly and chatty, and very patient while my daughter nipped to the loo mid order. He also made sure the table was clean before we sat down. Great experience.

This is a very popular cafe with the construction industry. I would recommend either phoning ahead with your order, or avoid going between 9:30 and 10:30. But don't worry, if you do have to wait, it's worth it. All the food is freshly cooked. If you miss the Little Chef Olympic Breakfast then go for the medium breakfast. Lovely food, great value for money and very friendly staff

First time coming to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Everything about this place is excellent. The staff are all really friendly and attentive. We had a mixture of the starters and sushi all which were fantastic. My favourite was probably the duck gyoza. Cocktails were first class , great selection and really well made. Special thanks to Ruby and Asharna who looked after us and made us feel really welcome. Both are a credit to the restaurant. Will definitely come back.

Changes have been made here in what was a brilliant place to visit..shame.... I feel for those who enjoyed their coffee and meet up we are now stranded outside with takeaway cups and limited pastries etc....I still attend and loyal and will continue to as long as top barister Shaka is there to make coffee....wish u well Su Ling with your new concept and dreams but was so so good before x

Lovely food helpful staff and great service. Nice menu to pick from and a few nice tables and chairs outside in the sunshine

Room lovely and spacious with a large shower. Hilary and Roger provided a good breakfast and welcoming atmosphere. Had a good 3 day break with them considering the current restrictions. Will be returning.

Third visit to Knapps and each time have been very impressed with both the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff. Live locally and just popped in last night for dinner at the last minute. Must be the best burgers in East Anglia and sourced locally as well which is even better!

We were recommended to Buxton. Having driven 20mins, will it be worth it. Arrived to a long queue. The the wait. Well yes it was more than worth it, perfect fish and great chips. Arrived back at caravan still nice and hot. I will return.
