The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Great beer managed to watch my favourite team on tv

Really like the stop there when I arrive in Cambridge. Charge the car and have a nice meal while doing so.

Really poor service Told him what table number we was at the till, he put wrong number down, then told me it was pending in my bank. But the money had gone through. Trying to tell me that the payment hadn’t gone through. Asked the manager for his name - he relplied John, wasn’t apologetic, didn’t want to know, just walked off.

Not normally a fan of ‘pub grub’ but had a fantastic meal with the wife. Large selection to choose from and food was really well cooked. Great range of drinks and the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. First time I’ve visited in a while and the entire experience was a pleasure. Would definitely recommend.

A disappointing visit. The food was tepid with one item on each plate hot. Clearly left on the side for the final item. And this happens but it’s often how you deal with it. When questioned at the end whether management has been made aware the staff response was yes but nothing more. Food ok. Humour and pitta was nice to start with piping hot bread. The steak I had was nice. The accompanying mushrooms very oily. As said above it was quite tepid. Service was very slow. Sitting out in the garden we were rather overlooked. It’s nice out there though. All in all not a brilliant experience. Hopefully just down to bad luck on the night.

We visited on a busy Sunday for a roast as we'd heard some good things. I have to say we were not disappointed! We did have a little wait for food but every table was full, and the food was well worth the wait. The waitresses were brilliant very polite and welcoming. The beef was beautifully cooked and a bargain at £19, especially for locally sourced beef. The Yorkshire pudding was huge 😆 If I had to offer some advice it would be the whole pub needing a spruce up with a lick of paint, I think once this is done it will make the world of difference. Will be back.

Car park scam in operation. Avoid!!!

This was a terrible Chinese we ordered tonight.have had in the past and been nice,but this tonight was definitely re-heated so very disappointing and won’t ordering again

Every time I go here I have such high expectations and every time I am disappointed. Today I bought a bacon roll and a coffee. The coffee was weak and poor quality. The bacon roll was stale. It was a brioche bun and clearly a few days old. I sent it back and was given a new one. Was that bun any better? No, they simply grilled it on the outside as well as the inside to try to hide that fact that it was also stale. The service staff are lovely. The food is, and has always been, average but today really was too much. You would get a better roll at Greggs.

Shannon was fantastic tonight, nothing was ever too much and she was so accommodating. Always a big smile on her face and a joy to be around. Amazing service from her as always!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable, Affordable, and Perfectly Located The Last Post is exactly what you’d expect from a great Wetherspoons — reliable, affordable, and consistent. You know what you’re going to get, and that’s part of the charm. The food is decent, the drink selection is solid, and the prices are hard to beat, especially compared to nearby options. The location couldn’t be better — right next to Southend Central train station — making it a super convenient stop whether you’re just arriving in town or heading out. It’s a large venue, so there’s usually space to sit, though it can get packed in the evenings, especially on weekends. Mornings are much quieter and perfect if you’re after a relaxed breakfast or coffee. Overall, it’s a classic Wetherspoons experience: nothing flashy, but it does exactly what it promises. Great value and a reliable go-to in Southend.

Food was great and Amy was lovely!!

Really nice food. I'm not a fan of carveries but in the first time in a longgg time it was really nice. Staff are lovely and desserts are brilliant. Would recommend 👌

Walked in waited be seated for fair while few of the women working walked past didn’t greet or say I’ll be with you shortly nothing quiet rude sat down had lovely waiter Bruce Lee was friendly n helpful boys behind the counter doing the carvery was friendly polite decent food the girls could learn a thing or too on people skills from them

Helen the waitress was very very helpful and worked very hard on her own working the bar , serving the food and taking the bill , an asset to the rose inn .
