The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

1st visit to the Dabbling Duck. The food, service and atmosphere excellent. I cannot comment on the rooms as we went for a meal which was excellent. I would highly recommend. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice food and friendly service. The beef bourguignon was very good 😊

Went today for Mother’s Day Sunday Roast and we was extremely disappointed. We go here during the summer months as its views are lovely. We had 3 Roast dinners two beef and one pork belly. All three were very poor quality. Potatoes hard and beef very chewy. The pork was very hard and dry. The beef burger was dry and very poorly presented. The portion control needs to be looked at as it Varys table to table. Lastly being a dog owner I am all for dogs being in country pubs however allowing dogs to sit on chairs at tables inside i think it’s a little too far.

Great to go find a traditional looking pub without enforced music ! Same with menu with pub classics although on the upper cost side . I went for the specials attracted to the "Lowestoft fish pie " at £22.95 expecting the best at that price . A disappointment...Average and certainly NOT Lowestoft as mostly Salmon ( not found off Ness Point !) a couple of prawns ( not the expected sweet shrimps )a few pieces of old white fish not fresh cod and NO SMOKED HADDOCK ! The accompanying carrot and sprouting broccoli was spoilt by being old .

Food was great and the choice of dishes was so good it made it hard to choose. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. (Jodie & Alan)

Food is okay, atmosphere is fine and service is great

Our first time visiting here, we came for a celebratory lunch. A very beautiful place, and clean. We sat in the conservatory area which was very spacious and didn't feel crowded. We dined from the A la Carte menu and everything we had was very well presented and very tasty. We couldn't fault anything. The staff were very attentive friendly and smart. We will definitely return here. 5stars all round. Thank you again to The staff for making this a special day.

Great atmosphere and food (pizza) excellent plus good range of beers and wine. Great Friday evening vibes. 2 members of staff (younger/older in age) were less welcoming/hospitable and noted by several independent members of our large party which was disappointing especially as we had large spend on the evening. This was not our usual experience when we visited this pub regularly some years ago and is hopefully a one off

After sending many emails and making calls to other pubs in the area, Kyle answered the phone and answered my questions straight away. I was trying to find a suitable location for a morning reception following a funeral of a family member. The Rose and Crown was fabulous from beginning to end! Opened early for us, catered to exactly what I requested teas, coffees and buns, scones which were delicious. Even though it was a sad day Kyle and the team made it bearable. The team were very accommodating and we all felt well looked after. Thank you

What a delight! Took my teenage granddaughter in for lunch. Food was great and staff so helpful and friendly. She enjoyed the experience so much she said “we must do this again, every other weekend nan”. Made my day. Thank you White Lion.

Excellent table service, great place for an evening out

A friendly and quiet place for lunch. The chicken was very good, although the chicken portion itself was a bit small. My steak was very good, although totally unseasoned. Quite good, could be even better with a bit more attention to detail.

We came here for a Saturday afternoon lunch. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We had the starters and main meals and the portions of everything is massive, so be careful unless you're really hungry! It was worth it though because the food was very tasty. I would also recommend the black forest cheesecake if it is on the dessert specials.

Awesome pub. So awesome, I hired Franco to cook for my wedding over the road. Hope you open again soon.

Had a walk from Frinton to Walton during which my phone died. Wanted to eat and drink and spend money in the Queens head but they refused to let me charge my phone claiming it might blow their whole electrics. I found this rather strange. We decided to go elsewhere as the lady was unfriendly and rude about it. We went to a pub round the corner where they were happy for our custom and welcomed us warmly.
