The best restaurants in East of England

Lovely quirky place but the food wasn’t great. We were a party of 6 & all had different meals. I had the lasagne & it was tasteless and whatever mince was in it (which wasn’t much) was cheap & gristly. My son had the ham, egg & chips - cheap ham & overcooked fried egg. The toilet wasn’t very clean & the bin was overflowing with paper towels. We won’t be going back.

We were recommended this pub by our Guest house. We were not disappointed. Although from the outside it doesn't look much it is very friendly and the food was excellent. We had steak and kidney pudding each on the first night and it was so good we went back on the second night for rump steak and lasagne for the two of us. The local beer was wonderful too and at very reasonable prices. It is a very popular pub well patronised and I can quite see why. You can't judge a book by it's cover.

Swift service, colourful selection of ices (see photo). Reasonable prices for effectively a seafront operation. Good location.

My partner and I popped into plates on the off chance they had space on a Friday night, luckily they had space! we were actually on our way to an Indian restaurant around the corner, and I am so glad we took a chance on plates. They had a set meal (including meat) for £48pp and I must say it was well worth the money! We had to take our food away because it was so much. The flavours were incredible, we loved trying Pani puri- such a fun experience, all of the meat dishes were so tender and delicious. I don't have a bad thing to say! The stand out dishes were the tortilla, chicken curry, greens & paneer, and the rice, poppadoms and naan were better than I have ever tried before! Service was amazing, we loved the personal touch, to be able to speak with the owner & chef. If you have tried plates for brunch, you must try their Indian plates! Incredible- coming from someone who generally is not a fan of Indian food..

I went out today with my family as i was looking to try something new and i have never been to this restaurant before, however i must say my experience today has been phenomenal. firstly i was greeted by a beautiful waitress and she was absolutely amazing right from the start till the end with her hospitality skills. food was next to none and my whole family enjoyed it along with some really nice baklava. Cant wait to come back again. Thank you Hanedan for such a great food and hospitality See you soon

What a lovely experience! First of all, the staff were lovely and you can tell that they are very knowledgeable and genuinely love their jobs. They were very polite and helpful :) The environment was clean and surprisingly smelt good considering there were lots of cats about! You also have to be let in by a staff member as a safety measure to avoid loose cats! The cats were friendly and one of them loved my coat! Toward the end of our stay, he decided to reside on my lap and j guiltily had to shift him off when it was time to leave! The food was good, however the jacket potato was over cooked. Nobody else had any complaints so I’m assuming that was just a one off. The waffle looked delicious so I recommend trying one of those! The experience was certainly worth it and we are very glad we came!

This is the best cafe in Bedford. Lots of selection and there is something for everyone. Good service with a friendly atmosphere. You won't be disappointed and you will find your be returning. Can't wait till tomorrow. Great guys.

We came off the A14 after being stuck in traffic. Tired and hungry we were met with a warm welcome from staff and the local visitors. Nice little bar with a log fire and another fire burning in the restaurant area. The food was amazing. I enjoyed the Thai duck. Very reasonable price. Thank you!

We walked through initially as a quick way to get to the other side, as we entered there’s lots of seating and an assortment of street food restaurants and a bar, all reasonably priced. The toilets were all clean, fresh and well stocked.

After a tricky start trying to place our order on their website which failed, we ended up phoning our order through and had very good food delivered to our holiday cottage within the hour. Would recommend and use again if in the area.

Lovely friendly service, freshly cooked chunky chips, excellent calamari, ribs and scampi! Good pint of Woodforde ale too!! All enjoyed out on the front patio under the umbrellas! Highly recommend if you’re in the area or passing through ( plenty of parking in pub car park).

We arrived before they opened and the owner was more than happy to make us a coffee and bacon sandwich. Fantastic people. They certainly looked after a couple of cyclists this morning. Will return for sure

Great place! Have visited many times ✖️ over many years and have had all different items from the menu and never been disappointed, staff are all great and today we visited and they had a new addition to the staff, lovely young girl very polite, friendly and smiley Grace look forward to visiting again.

Wonderful. I put a review on Google, but for those here - you must pay Dawn and her staff a visit. The food, service, ambience is excellent and very good value for money. Plus, even if you haven't a sweet tooth, the cakes & scones are heavenly - writing this my mouth is watering 💖👍👍👍👍👍

3 of us had lunch here. We all chose something different and each dish was great. Everything was lovely and fresh. The soup was homemade with a generous portion of bread. The sandwich from the specials was accompanied by two types of salad as was the sausage roll. The service was efficient and friendly too. I highly recommend.
