The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Last min booking for my partner's birthday. Welcoming staff, great food & you have to try a dessert !! We will be back soon.

We were in the area for the weekend & had booked a different pub for our Sunday lunch but the accommodation we were staying in recommended this venue & we are so glad he did - what a find! There were 8 of us & we managed to book last minute. We all had the roast which was amazing, desserts & wine. Cannot fault it & hopefully will come back another day

I was blown away by the food, really good value for money, super tasty and very accommodating. My Mum is dairy intolerant and they changed the prawn dish which was originally in a butter sauce to prawns in tempura batter!!. I have eaten many times in Lowestoft but for us this has been the best !!

Wow ! I think they had just launched their - South African menu- it’s fantastic-beautifully presented- really well cooked - creating unusual dishes. It’s fantastic- we will be back 10/10

Nice locals pub with friendly and attentive service . Good food and certainly won’t go hungry as big portions . Great value for money

Was here Saturday 5th October great food and staff the place is clean. And at a very good price I will be back .

Had a great Saturday lunch at just £9.99 for two courses and the food was absolutely delicious. The place is charming and quaint and the young man serving was friendly and welcoming whilst being knowledgeable about the food and drink menu.

Superb roast beef Sunday lunch today. Great food and excellent, friendly service

Proper tasty home cooked food. Eaten here 3 times during our weeks stay in the area. The downside is the road from Debenham to Cretingham - it’s very narrow but nowt Yorkshire folk can’t handle. Although my hubby was a bit disgruntled that you only served Roast Pork as a roast on a Sunday lunch and no Yorkshire Puds - he’s a Beef and Yorkshire Pud chap!! the food has been exceptionally tasty and the staff amazingly friendly. Highly recommend a visit

We went for a Sunday lunch as a party of 14 the staff food and service was excellent, we pre booked the vegetarian option for one of our guests who throughly enjoyed the nut roast, nothing was any trouble.

This is our local and has recently changed ownership, so we thought it was time to give it a try for Sunday lunch. The menu is quite limited on Sundays, a choice of roasts or a burger and chips. That’s about it. Not a problem, a good Sunday roast is as good as it gets. I opted for the pork belly and my wife went for a child’s portion of chicken, which turned out to be turkey, presumably left over from Christmas the week before. What became apparent when the plates arrived was that the child’s portion of turkey had roughly twice the amount of meat than the “adult” portion of pork and had a full sized sausage in a pig-in-blanket as well. I suggested to our waitress that a piece of pork measuring slightly less than 4” x 2” is not really enough to constitute a Sunday roast. She asked if I’d like her to see if I could have some more. She went to the kitchen to find out, and yes, I could have some more - for an additional 50% of the price! Insult to injury. Another waitress confirmed that all portions are cut to exactly the same size and that no-one has ever complained before. And the band played “believe it if you like”. It was a shame because the accompaniments were generally lovely, but we wouldn’t go to the Robin Hood and Little John again. I have nothing further to say about my experience, so I won’t be “reaching out” to the Management Team, although I do wonder where they all were at the time, to react directly to my complaint.

Came for new year, honestly wouldn’t bother again. DJ missed the new year for the second year running. , music was rubbish and DJ was shocking. Kept restarting the song half way through a song, cause he liked the song. If you are planning to come here for new year, give it a wide birth.

Had a brilliant evening at the peacock food was second to none every course was really tasty. We have found out that they have been recommended in the Michelin star list 2024. What a great find we will definitely be going back

What a wonderful find from sat nav! Just off M1 Excellent delicious breakfast cheerful staff coffee perfect all excellent value

The Crown used to be such a friendly fun place to go. But since the new so called manager took over its anything but friendly. Please can we get Ness and Josh back, or at least someone who cares about pubs and the people who use them.
