The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Dirty tables, staff who clearly had never worked behind a bar before, gin and tonic no lemon or lime, run out of branded glasses… really poor, come on it’s not that difficult!

Really surprised by the bad reviews. We enjoyed a great fish and chip meal - tasty, well cooked and not at all greasy. Our food was cooked to order. We didnt have to queue despite it being a Sunday afternoon in July. The only down point - only Pepsi available and no coke.

….hosted by our very dear friends visiting from Spain. Exceptional service by Alessandro and his charming team of waitresses. All the food was very tasty and well presented, pleasing on the eye without being over fussy. My personal highlights were the grilled mackerel with kohlrabi and orange salad, garnished with a squid ink cracker and lemon caviar, then the roast strip loin of beef, perfectly cooked pink all the way through, and a good selection of accompanying vegetables. In spite of the restaurant being very busy, Alessandro has the knack of being “everywhere” and a very good host. Well recommended!

Came here for a breakfast, was served promptly and politely. Food was tasty, even better they serve sausages from archers so your know you’re getting quality for your money 👌 10/10 will be visiting again.

Really friendly and helpful staff. Very good meal.

Lovely food so could not give more compliments to the chef. Service was very poor food cold, wine dumped on table and after spending over 300 quid we had coffees pushed on us at 9pm and were refused a short. Very disappointed would certainly not return great shame

Best fish and chips we have had. Been coming here since I was a child and still just as good. Lovely staff and brilliant food.

Lovely place, welcoming staff, quality food reasonably price.

Beautiful decorated hotel.lovely couple that run it.the breakfast was great..Will be back..beautiful village.

Another fabulous lunch very good food great service always made to feel special.

A fantastic meal again after returning for a special occasion. Very accommodating with any tweaks required for dietary requirements etc. Thanks so much for a lovely evening.

Visited for Sunday lunch. We have been before & this time was still a pleasure. A warm greeting & it continued with the knowledgable professional staff. Their attentiveness throughout the meal, the delivering to the table those little extras of canapés & warm fresh rolls not requested… gratis..such a simple but lovely touch. The meal was lovely, I had the chicken & it was so tender, others had the pork equally as tender with a touch of crackling.I could go on but nothing disappointed. All with a lovely warm ambiance to sit unhurried to enjoy.

Booked afternoon tea for my birthday, which fell on the Christmas package. The food was lovely. The decor and attention to detail were amazing. I will definitely be booking again next year

Fab local for the football and pub grub Great atmosphere and sharing plates were pretty good. Value for money The pub was busy but food came out quickly and hot. Staff were really nice Highly recommended guys 👍🏼

NOW PERMANENTLY CLOSED :-( The Plough at Rede is one of Suffolks best kept secrets. A thatched pub with oak beams, an open fire, all tucked away in the tiny hamlet of Rede. Stunning location, fabulous atmosphere with a warm welcome and the best food for miles around. Brian and Joyce have been running the Plough for over 30 years with customers returning time and time again. Ide give 100 stars if I could.
