The best restaurants in East of England

Came here on a bit of a whim one week as we’d heard about the Quiz Night being hosted and have been back every week since. Andy and Helen (and Milly!) are great owners and make everyone in the pub feel welcome. Different food vans are brought in each week to add variation and the quiz and table service on drinks just add to the atmosphere. If you’re ever around, go down and check it out. It’s a great pub and run brilliantly!

Had dinner here with friends on a Saturday night. Booking on line didn’t work so booked face to face in the restaurant in advance. The food was excellent, fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and genuine. The food is cooked within a couple of feet of the seating area. Loved the authenticity. Guessing that this is family owned and run. Good value as well. We will be back.

I recently visited Cafe Flex with family for afternoon tea and it was a delightful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed, perfect for a relaxing afternoon. The food was delicious and good value for money. The cakes and scones were particularly tasty, whilst the sandwiches were really great too. Overall, a wonderful afternoon tea experience, I would highly recommend a visit!

Popped in around midday so there wasn’t much left. Scotch egg was nice and meaty although £4 was abit steep. Coffee £3 was a generic push button machine, zero flavour just milky so felt ripped off. The place was clean and tidy and the gentleman serving was friendly

BEST BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH! Sat in the garden area and genuinely felt was on holiday with the heat, food, drinks and vibes! Good range of cocktails which were delicious! Best pornstar martini I’ve ever tasted! Proper food portions (I went for the chicken gyros 🤩) Atmosphere was amazing and staff couldn’t be more lovely! Highly recommend👏🏻

I went in on Tuesday morning due to trainstrikes affecting my usual commute and I had such a wonderful experience. Even though it was busy the lady on the till was friendly, smiley and made the transaction a great one. Plus the communication between her and the birista even though it was busy was great. Not to mention it was a fabulous hot chocolate and sausage roll, which helped me forgot my train troubles. Amazing costumer service and hot chocolate

Fish finger burger and chips clearly from frozen, didn’t taste very nice and not worth £9, owner defensive , won’t b back

It's clear that love and thought goes in to everything at The Hot Sausage Company, from the friendly service and vegan option (which I understand was painstakingly sourced to ensure only the best was served!) to the wide range of condiments and reasonable prices. If you're ever in town in Cambridge, Colchester or Ipswich, make it your top priority to visit for a bite to eat.

We used to order from mikes quite a lot as it was local, good value for money and good quality of food. But the last couple of times has been disappointing. Lamb kebab was really chewy Cod bites have gone up in price and halved in size. Paid extra for extra cheese on the chips but still were not that cheesy. Garlic mayo just tasted of mayonnaise. I have tried to contact them and had no response so we won’t be ordering from there again.

Love this place, foods fab, as a veggie/vegan great to have so ,Many options. Took a non veggie and they also loved the food. Atmospheric and fun place to eat and chill. Owners are so passionate about the place and it shows in the way every thing is done.Love the place would recommend to all . Also well priced and not over the top costs .

Just picked up savaloy , pie and chips , to share with my son - large chips were generous £10.00 good value , will return and try their kebabs soon

We were staying as an extended family near here and went in one evening. This is just the sort of excellent authentic, unpretentious village pub you don't seem to see so much these days. Landlord was super friendly, recommending beers and chatting about he keeps them. Chatted to friendly locals too. Good atmosphere. We all had food which was exactly as expected: good sized portions, straightforward, tasty. Lots of variety on the menu. Pub is dog friendly too. Please visit if you are in the area. A great British village pub. Thanks

Today I drove for two hours to seem family members and based on trip advisor reviews we headed for the cafe for a pre Christmas brunch. Alas, it was closed. Such a shame. Anyone know if it’s permanent or just today?

Had such a lovely breakfast on Saturday, we came with family and had a lovely meal. The team (including Penny) provided a top service where we were made so welcome.

Pulled off the Norwich road to find a coffee stop and the town of Eye was the nearest. Free parking in the street so that was a good start then walking through the town entered the first café and asked if they were dog friendly since we has a tiny pup with us, No was the reply. Walking a few yards more and crossing a street we cam across "The Bank" now it seems an art centre and café so in I went to ask the question, are you dog friendly YES the lady replied welcome. On the counter a selection of home made cakes a proper coffee machine crisps etc. Inside the spacious building plenty of seated and nice and warm, four artists painting and drawing. The table had a menu of which is in the photos we chose apple pie and custard.
