The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

It was a very damp and showery morning and we weren’t sure if the restaurant was even open! But we tried the door and it was . The lady on the bar asked the kitchen if they were still serving breakfast (it was only 10.10am) and they were. We sat down and there was a very damp smell in the room. Which was a little off putting but We ordered full English and Vegan breakfast, both with coffee. The coffee were served piping Hot which was lovely as usually they go cold before breakfast is served. But breakfast came and coffee was still hot!. Breakfast was also really hot and delicious, good local produce and served with a smile. Deffo come back again! Serves lunches and coffee and cake too so worth drying at different times of the day.

Had an evening with friends celebrating, the staff we amazing, nothing was too much trouble, they were attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was amazing, a taste sensation, the lemon tart was delightful, my only critique would be portion size, especially for the larger eaters, maybe sides could be added to the menu, I’m sure if we had asked they would have accommodated us but the meals can and we just tucked in, we will definitely be going back.

We came today for lunch I had chess ham quiche £8.50 I think and my daughter had the Stilton one £9 we also had a full salad which I didn’t realise was another £1.90 each so all together it was £29 with a portion of chips and 2 drinks the salad was nothing special quite disappointing to be fair the quiche was tasty but very small portion in fact it could have been servered on a teaplate very over priced and disappointing

We are regular customers at the restaurant and big fans of their scones ......until recently. I'm not sure whether they have changed the recipe or whether the staff who usually cook these have changed but on the last few occasions the scones have been disappointing. Cheese scones no longer very cheesy (now appears to be a plain scone with a tiny sprinkling of cheese on the top), fruit scones much less fruit - cost saving? Who knows.......but please get back to the previous versions. Otherwise a great restaurant with very good coffee and a great selection of food and cakes - the staff are a particular high point, always very friendly, welcoming and efficient.

El barco tiene el personal más agradable, son muy acogedores y los precios son grandes que siempre tienen deportes y las vibraciones son grandes!

The pub we were heading for was closed so stopped in at this old favourite. Car park packed so we thought getting a table might be hard. However, most people were outside so we were okay. Fish & Chips was good (although the batter on mine was a bit greasy) as were the two vegan offerings - chickpea and butternut squash curry, and plant-based burger.

My relative stayed in Room 37 for 2 nights on 23/8/2024. The room is not properly prepared. There was no shower gel, no shampoo. The shower cubicle's drain was totally blocked. It's impossible to have a shower. They have to go the nearby relative's room to have a shower! They told me till they checked out! Please make sure the room is well prepared and ready for the guest for future. Thank you.

We had a couple of ciabattas for £6.95 when we visited very recently, we were very nice , 2 time been there it’s pretty good value

its ok very busy though food good quick service. Very busy to crowded for my liking would come again if in great yarmouth

I've been to Scott's many times but I'm really not sure I'll return soon. Last time the coffee was lukewarm at best,I mentioned it and was told that the baristas were in training and there was somebody there from the coffee company. I was quite heartened by that, hoping the 2nd coffee would be hotter. No, just the same. Visited again on Thursday, coffee not very hot at all. I'm sure I can't be the only person who likes their coffee hot. The teacake was nice , lovely presentation. A little disappointed to see service charge automatically added to the bill.

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

A lovely find. Ordered four different meals.all came up together piping hot.tasted lovely with six veg. Good home cooking, we were all satisfied and would recommend. We also had desserts although we were full which were lovely. An added bonus the sweet shop. My parents had a sweet shop sixty years ago when I was a child,brought back memories, sweet tobacco,aniseed balls, pineapple chunks and raspberry ruffles and so much more. Will definitely return.

We are fairly regular theatre-goers and our favourite venue is the Theatre Royal in Norwich. We always try and make it an "occasion" and will often invite friends along as our guests to help add something extra special to what is always a pleasurable afternoon or evening out. One thing we always try to do is to eat before the show at the Prelude Restaurant inside the theatre itself. After all, it is so convenient! Now, we have always enjoyed our visits to Prelude and we know that we will always be warmly welcomed; that out table will be ready; that the food will be delicious and beautifully prepared; that the wine list will be full of tempting and exquisite bottles to suit all tastes; that the service will be very professional and gracious and that we will always enjoy the experience. Now, it will already be obvious that we are fans of Prelude. However, I am prompted to write a long-overdue review following our recent visit to the matinee of "Girl on a Train" on 8th February. As I have said earlier, we know that the food will be delicious, but on our last visit, it was beyond delicious! We have enjoyed so many meals in the Prelude before, but those presented to us on our last visit were beyond compare! The short redhead relished her chicken cacciatore and I was blown away by the superb grilled haddock (How do you get so much flavour onto one plate)?! We have enjoyed some great dishes in the past, but that was the best meal I have ever had there! We also know that the staff are always on-point and take great care to ensure that our visits are so special, but during this last visit it seemed that the levels of professionalism, courtesy and attention to detail had been turned up to the very max! We took great pleasure in thanking Abbi, or waitress and her colleague who looked after us (sorry, young man, but we have forgotten your name) that we were (are) so grateful for making us feel very special indeed. Well done and thank you to all the team at Prelude! See you again soon!!

An excellent authentic Italian: superb welcome and service; exceptionally good food; and a highly economical set lunch menu for £15. Probably the best minestrone soup; probably the finest pizza Margherita. Unconditionally recommended!!

This is a new firm favourite with myself and my family. We first enjoyed a meal here on a Saturday evening back in February. The pub was incredibly busy but we had booked and our table was waiting. The menu is diverse and everything was available. We were all very pleased with out meals. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. We were celebrating a birthday and this did not disappoint. Therefore I booked for Mothering Sunday. Once again, we were greeted by the friendly staff who operate with a "willing, can-do" attitude even with a smile. We enjoyed a traditional roast and some tasty desserts. I'd say the food is great but the people are what make the experience memorable! We will absolutely be back! The pub dog adds to the charm!
