The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Very sad to say this was one of my worst experiences of being conned into thinking this was a professionally run business

The food very nice apart from Parsnips they were cremated from the carvery. Apart from that everything fine. Louise the waitress very attentive. And very good at her job. Very polite. Very welcoming. Have been several times. Going again in March.

the staff and food were excellent, my mother has several different lung and chest issues and started having a coughing fit, without me asking one of the bar staff came over with a glass of water, it's was appreciated very much

The staff there were all amazing! Special shoutout to Becca, very helpful and happy, thankyou again. Lovely food also served with a smile.

The Roof Top Bar is a top end establishment, yet recently it is anything but, broken and dirty toilets, dirty tables, untidy chairs, staff talking rather than making the place tidy and acceptable.

It was very good service. We were served by Carl who was very good and food was well presented and hot when it arrived.Very friendly atmosphere and good value for money.

Lovely pub with a warm friendly welcome. Good well kept beer. Food exceptional. I can only think that the two poor reviews from last year say more about the reviewers than the pub and lovely staff.

We always love coming to the Hollybush as a family with a pre-schooler. It's welcoming, friendly and casual. The food is decent and there's a great selection of drinks.

As a regular visitor I felt compelled to praise what they do for others to enjoy. Firstly, convenient location, always free parking available if dining. Friendly welcome by staff. Relaxing, comfortable and spacious restaurant with large glass windows allowing plenty of sunlight. Menu is comprehensive and very reasonable prices. Food arrives quickly and cooked perfectly. Everything is super clean (a standard that many restaurant chains don’t seem to uphold). On my latest visit, Ned and Savanna served me and provided excellent customer service. We needed to make a change to one of the dishes after we had ordered and they saw that it was no problem. As you can see, My family and I highly recommend The Rising Sun.

Dog friendly pub on the shore front. Decent food and excellent service

Looking forward to warm friendly pub for a casual drink/meal. Walked into a morgue, no heating, all three fires unlit, radiators cold, empty apart from staff, obviously didn't stay for food. Sadly another pub about to bite the dust. Would give no stars if it was possible

The Lion & Lamb looked so welcoming as we were driving past that we suddenly decided to turn around and go back for dinner. It’s as lovely inside as out and the food is first class - so much so that we tucked in without thinking to photograph. Pork crackling nibbles to start - absolutely wonderful followed by the Dry Aged Steak Burger which was divine. Unfortunately, despite our food envy seeing desserts delivered to other tables, we just didn’t have the room to experience the Lemon Curd Cheesecake or Peanut Butter Profiteroles we’d been planning to order. Will definitely visit again. Service is friendly and efficient. 5⭐️ throughout. Thank you for a great dining experience.

Jordan's mill used to be a lovely, friendly place to visit. Summer was a good time to go as the outside seating area is stunning and overlooks the stream. However, over the years, the service and atmosphere has steadily declined. We enjoy going out regularly for a coffee and a snack, and used to love visiting Jordan's café, but sadly, not any more. They change their seating plan with regularity, so you are never sure what the set up will look like the next time you visit. The vibe amongst the staff is not good and they give no sign that they actually enjoy their job. What has been most disappointing for us however, and has lead to us choosing to go elsewhere, is the coffee and the elderly member of staff that serves it. The coffee is often warm at best and you never receive a full cup. I have often been tempted to complain at what I perceived to be short measures, as the coffee level is always some distance away from the top of the cup. This particular member of staff can be very abrupt, surely and rude if you she takes a dislike to you. She also has an attitude that implies we should be grateful that she sees fit to serve us at all. A real shame.

Great cafe, thanks Karl for being ultra quick polite and helpful

We went for a Mothers day Sunday roast, resturant area was half full at 5:30pm, still had 4/5 tables free, and only a few in bar area. Customer service ... Not a warm welcome, we were sat to our table after few minutes waiting with no instructions of will be with you in a moment to take orders or drink or if we order at bar etc, no pens for the kids colouring in menu, luckily before she walked off we asked if there was a highchair (its a family resturant on mothers day, there was about 4/5 little ones about and id already seen a women holding a baby whilst eating and buggys being used instead of highchairs), they sent someone else to look and they came over and said word for word, "yeh it's sh** but there's not any, sorry about that" so we had to get our buggy from the car for our little one to sit and eat and had a staff member just casually swear at a table with 2 small children; We should have seen that as a red flag and left but we were hungry and been looking forward to a roast dinner; After 15/20mins of noone coming back to table and not seeing any real waiting staff we went up to the bar to order. Cost ... £48 for 1 pint larger, 1 large lemonade, 1 fruit shoot, 1 double meat roast, 1 turkey roast and 1 kids turkey roast. Affordable pricing but not worth what we were served. Food... I was so disappointed when it came over id been wanting a roast but the plate looked pare, I will say the turkey serving was ok and it did have nice flavour wasnt dry but maybe bit soggy, there was no stuffing or extra trimmings, just very small portion of cauliflower cheese which was luke warm, 1 medium yorkshire pudding which was flat and greasy ( i couldnt eat mine) and potato's where like they were from frozen, no fluffiness inside and no crispy outside, the veg was also just 1 peice of small broccoli and loads of peas with massive chunks of carrot that were not all that, Gravy was ok but not as hot as should be, i did add salt and pepper but I still had to stopped eating half way through it just wasn't enjoyable, we didn't stop for dessert. Summary Total let down, i drive passed all the time and really thiught it was going to be nice but I wouldn't eat there again, they need to train their front of house staff on customer service and invest in some courses for the kitchen so they can prepare better quality food and buy some more highchairs for the familys, they have a garden with park area so need to be more accommodating.
