The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Very disability racist after ordering our food fine i was told to leave with my service dog. As they were not allowed. Onlh wanted to refund food not drink evwn though i had not taken a sip of mine.

Had a ACE Christmas here, the staff were wonderful and looked after you really well. The manager was very professional and made sure nothing went wrong at Christmas Dinner. She also sorts problems out very quickly. Very professional. The rooms are brilliant with a lovely roll top bath in there, and you sleep like a log to because it's very quiet and peaceful at night.

Fantastic food since the refurb and nice friendly service. If you want the harvester experience this is not for you but if you are after a great British pub experience do not hesitate!

Cosy place with garden and by canal.

Popped in yesterday unplanned hoping for a roast, we had 5 mins grace before they stopped serving them so half expected scraps but had been craving it so went ahead anyway. My roast Turkey was scrumptious & I didn’t want it to end 🤣. It was a great size portion but I swerved the cauliflower cheese as I don’t like it. Can not wait to go again next Sunday with a bit more time to spare

When I see a pub has a speciality cuisine in its kitchen, my heart sometimes drops a little, as they can often veer into gimmicky territory. Rest assured, however, that the ramen menu on offer at the Beehive is nothing of the sort. It was exceptional. My pork miso ramen was tantalisingly spicy, flavoursome and filling.

Very tasty food. Car park surface in poor condition. Barry, the bar manager, is probably the best mine host in the area.

Set right on the side of the River Crouch. A proper English pub atmosphere and decor. Friendly, efficient service. Food good.

We are locals and go to The Old Bridge when we want something a bit special - today was my birthday so we popped in for lunch in the bar. We both ordered warm sandwiches, but were very disappointed in both. Last time these were served on large baguettes and were full of fillings, today we got small brioche rolls and the turkey was cut so thin I almost missed it, an equally thin slice of dried out stuffing and a bit of cranberry sauce, a tiny tiny portion dried out skinny fries, no basket, and the “salad” was warm and wilted, all edible but I’ve had tastier food in the Olmo Lounge. Two drinks each and the bill was just shy of £60 as they had added a 12.5% service charge, which we were not made aware of. The staff were polite but didn’t do anything special, it’s bar food, I don’t expect a mandatory service charge .We will think twice before returning, I think the cutbacks have started to creep in under the new owners sadly

I have eaten here before in September and found the whole Experience to be outstanding so i booked my Family and friends in for a Winter Solstices Luncheon And we all enjoyed are Meals me and my Brother started with Blickling Pheasant Sausage {local to The Gunton Arms} and we both Enjoyed our Starters and i missed on the menu this on the blackboard not the menu that it was pheasant meat made into a sausage and this was a nice surprise this was served on a bed of Lentils. Are mains where also Outstanding Mum my is Vegetarian so for main went for Duck egg and a side of chips on my Recommendation and our Waitress recommendation {Trinity} and we all really Enjoyed our Mains and i must say the Farmhouese Chicken was so succulent and Moorish i finshed mine and my Brothers off then Derserts for everyone else in the party and a extra Tiramisu martini that i started Our Luncheon with as a Aperitif as i really liked this {seasonally Cocktail} Thank you Gunton Arms Team we will be back

***** NO WONDER THIS PLACE IS CLOSING DOWN ***** Paid for a taxi to have breakfast only to find they have no chef and no staff and greeted by an unapologetic receptionist. Can’t find this anywhere on their website, met another gentleman standing in the Carpark after also booking a taxi for breakfast. DO NOT BOTHER WITH BEEFEATER AS A WHOLE COMPANY IF THEY HAVE SUCH LITTLE REGARD FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

Excellent food, the oysters were amazing!!! Lunch time was a it quiet, but we had a really lovely time

Really nice food, enjoyed. Thanks

We recently hosted our son’s first birthday at the Duke of Wellington, and they were fantastic! All the staff went above and beyond, especially accommodating our son's severe egg allergy, making the day stress-free and special. The food was good and great value.

You will not be disappointed with the portions of food. Great place to stop after a sea front walk
