The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

1 out of 5. Bingo taken so seriously, you get looked at in disgust for ordering a drink or even laughing in between rounds. Rude staff that make jokes then take offence when you joke back Hot tap inoperable. Try to turn it on and it turns like an owls neck. Good food was its only saving grace.

Quick meal on the lunch break, nice cozy table, tasty food, amazing waitresses. Checked on our food, offered second drinks. Ordered coffees at the end of our lunch and we left happy. Will be back for sure!

We happened to visit the Jolly Sailor by chance, I had planned to go to a cafe on the seafront but it was shut. Luckily my daughter had spotted the pub near the car park where we'd parked. We chose to sit outside under the canopy at the back as it was a nice sunny day. The garden was large with lots of space and tables. My daughter had fish and chips and I had pie of the day (steak and cheddar) with chips. Both were beautifully presented and my pie was scrumptious. With a diet coke each, the total bill was £44 which might sound expensive but it was worth it as the food was delicious. A lucky find and we'll definitely come back.

Visited here on a Friday lunchtime with friends. Lovely pub, very olde worlde in main part. We were seated in the newer part. Great staff, very attentive and friendly. Food was good, fresh and hot with lots to choose from as also have a large specials board. Would recommend and will return.

I would just like to thank all the staff at the Crystal Palace pub for the fantastic service we got throughout the day for our daughter’s 30th birthday party. We had so many comments from all our guests about how good the food was and what a great a venue you have. Thanks again

Great food Reece and Sharon were fantastic with us our party was 11 strong but nothing was too much trouble we will be back room 4 thanks again guys

This pub has come a long way. It's a traditional pub which does some food but it is not the modern-day theme pub that is ‘dressed up to the nines’ and tries to be everything to everyone. A good selection of beers at reasonable prices and personable staff all helps. The atmosphere is positive and traditional and the two lads who run the pub work hard to keep it clean. The downside is not being able to take your dog into the pub now the autumn has arrived and the chain has stopped selling peanuts, a good seller I understand. Keep up the good work.

We've eaten at the Dog before for lunch which was very nice, So we decided to go again a couple of months later for an evening meal. The food was lovely, two of us had the double stack burger and the other was a battered fish. Part of the order was wrong when it came out and we said it would be ok but the waitress insisted she take it back and get it sorted. My only negative is 'smoking on outside tables', We had decided to sit outside as it was a warm night but we didn't expect people to be smoking on the tables next to us. If we go again we would definitely sit inside.

Food service was a little slow but the waiting staff were lovely, so helpful and polite. Food itself was lovely. The fish and chips was my go to and very happy I did. Lovely crispy batter. All in all a good price for a main for 4 adults meals and one child with drinks, under £100 ! Would highly recommend.

Lovely lunch at the Green Man after a spontaneous drive! My partner had the Crab linguine & I had the Sea Bream. Both excellent! Service was very friendly.
