The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Amazing place, good quality food, good size potions, first class service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. seated upstairs too...

Nice, clean and friendly very helpful. Food tasty and nice to see lots of variety. We don’t all like the traditional . Glad to see them back after they left lakeside.

I wanted to introduce my daughter in law's parents to Chloe's. They have just moved to Ipswich but came to see me today in Brantham. We just wanted a quick lunch after a chilly shopping morning. Us 2 ladies had a lovely home made fish pie, there were plenty of prawns and a lot of other fish in a very tasty sauce. It was served with roasted diced potatoes, a nicely browned potatoes on top and fresh vegetables. The individual dish with a nicely browned mash potatoes on top. It was served in a very hot individual oval dish, which was presented piping hot which always pleases me. Our vegetarian friend had a tuna and sweet corn panini, salad chips and home made coleslaw. I enjoyed a fruit smoothie, and the others had peppermint tea. From Ronnie

A beautiful setting by the water on a sunny evening, 1st was the house red wine which was delicious followed by an amazing 3 courses, The organic beef short rib which was a delightful & one of the best starters I have ever tasted ( please make this a main course) I then went for the rump of lamb which was cooked to perfection & then finished with a knickerbocker glory! What a treat!!! Our waiter Daniel was excellent & very attentive & knowledgeable about the dishes he also kept our wine topped up, we will certainly return so we can sample more of this superb menu, thanks for making our Saturday evening a memorable one.

A greatvlittleccafe just off the beaten track. Well worth seeking out. Excellent food and service at fair prices. The range of foods is hood as is their afternoon tea.

Encore coffee house has great tasting coffee and at great value compared to more well known brands. A friendly welcoming atmosphere and a great place to work or meet people. The food is freshly made on site and there's a great range of sandwiches, panini, jacket potatoes and soups. I'm egg and dairy free and they're always accommodating to make something if there isn't anything already available on the counter. Non-dairy milks available at no extra cost!

Subtlety with enthusiasm Great experience. Firstly finding the way in, fortunately we met someone else visiting who showed us the path. Met as we walked in by young staff very keen to assist. We were seated down the stairs in the lower area. Some reviewers have nit picked about the decor, personally, like many other aspects of the venue, it simply is part of what this place is. Staff, including chef are all young and very enthusiastic. The experience is a selection of fascinating dishes with mostly subtle but fascinating flavours. Personal preference was the bread roll was slightly too salty for my taste and the beef cheek another really strong flavour but that's my view. The fish dishes were both superb, the desserts were both amazing. I was really looking forward to the rhubarb course slightly concerned that is would be challenged by the strength of the rhubarb, but it was pitched perfectly. Lovely experience, a venue with interested friendly staff who clearly cate. Chef was lovely to chat to, obviously very passionate about his craft. One minor observation, we travelled a round trip of maybe 180 miles both needing to drive as part of the journey, so a small selection of cocktails might have been a good option to offer too. Toilet (mixed bathing) clean and functional. Great experience, has potential for future escalating awards

Amazing food, very creative tastes and textures. Such friendly and welcoming staff and a relaxed atmosphere. A fantastic and memorable evening out with friends and will definitely be recommending and returning.

I love Dena and her team. All super welcoming. It feels like home from home (without any cooking or tidying up). Food is fab and reasonable, and they remember what you've had before ie allergies or no skin on cucumbers. Whether you have Dena, Aunt kitie of the other team members all just super lovely. We've been going for years, and even though Myles has almost outgrown parts of it, there is still lots he loves, the board games, the activities etc. Highly recommend and will be going for many years to come. Thanks so much!

This was our first visit to The Hub and it wont be our last. We went for breakfast on Mother’s Day food was amazing, staff very friendly, polite and always happy to help. Can’t wait to return to sample some more food options.

Food was incredible, service as well. Had a pre-birthday dinner here & nothing disappointed! Will definitely be back

Not sure if I loved this as I love Turkish food or just for the sake it was just really good. Recommend coming here, as the food is good, the staff is friendly and informative, and the bistro is rather stylish with the modern take of a restaurant but with the relaxed vibe of the Cafe that it use to be.

What a find! This cute & quirky tea room is full of helpful, friendly staff, gorgeous furniture & decor, and delicious food & cakes. Gluten free is available at no extra charge! Variety of milks available. Currently the decor theme is Charlie & The Chocolate Factory but the ladies tell me it changes every 8-10 weeks. Such dedication! And it makes me want to go back and take it all in all over again. Maybe worth booking as it is a tiny venue - but the best things come in small packages!
