The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Lovely go to fish and chips freshly cooked

I have been in here a few times now. Always a friendly place. The staff work so hard. The managers are always juggling a million jobs. the cleaners are lovely. The cleanest I have been to. Thanks Paulime.

Beautiful spot for anything from something hot to a coffee and cake at lunch time. Just what the doctor ordered before, or after a walk! Loved getting to watch all the birds whilst sitting in the café, and in the summer from the terrace overlooking the water.

Firstly our waitress was really friendly and took time to explain what gluten free options were on the menu for my friend. Despite being busy the service was good. The food was ok, but nothing special. There is a good choice of food on the menu. It is definitely worth going here before a show at the Cliffs Pavilion but do book as it’s very popular.

Three night stay at this hotel. We had a large room on the front but were not bothered by the traffic noise. The room was very comfortable and clean. The decor was outdated but they are apparently in a refurbishment programme. Breakfast was super, plenty on offer and hot food excellent. The young girls that run the front of house were very friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. Good value for money.

Ignore this place visited Bank Holiday Monday. Bad atmosphere no welcome and then 2 awful cappuccinos. Food average and very poor service even witnessed 2 examples of rudeness to customers.

The OKH is our local, and, as regulars, it has been one of our favourite dog friendly pubs for some time. Based on our last few visits though we’ve found that there have been too many menu options unavailable and that the food quality has deteriorated significantly. Our last visit was in mid December with a group of friends in the private room. It all started well, the staff, despite their young age, were helpful and friendly as always but on this occasion they were clearly not adequately supervised. Despite ordering around 7pm on a Saturday night, there were at least three unavailable main menu options. One of these was a standard burger. How can a pub run out of a staple from the freezer? One of our party was offered two children’s burgers instead. These arrived dry and completely over-cooked. Some mains were fine, others were pretty awful. Service was very slow. This was a group birthday celebration. The pub was supposed to be open until 11 but at 10:15 we were told they were closing shortly and were asked to leave within 15-20 minutes. We were made to feel very uncomfortable and the staff kept looking into the room to see if we were packing up. So disappointing because we’ve had some great times at the OKH but this and a couple of previous experiences haven’t been great. We’ll give it another go in January but if nothing changes I’m afraid it will be our last visit. It’s a shame because we want to support our local but no one seemed willing to take our comments on board when we raised the issues with them 🙁

its ok very busy though food good quick service. Very busy to crowded for my liking would come again if in great yarmouth

Had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch, just prior to Christmas 2024. The roast beef was finished off by being chargrilled, and served with sautéed homegrown vegetables. A most commendable culinary combination!

Always friendly. Love the sausage rolls

What we had was good, however, according to the Blackboard the meat was Beef, Chicken, or Gammon. Unless you are known to Chef, after we had eaten he came and offered two guests LAMB.. I will attach a picture of our ‘Large’ portions. That is unless you are known to chef, then your portion is considerably larger. Note, the small flat piece of Yorkshire pudding, or at least I think that’s what it is supposed to be. Four, yes four sprouts, I actually asked our lovely waitress if she were sure that these were large portions. Note one slice of parsnip, one slice of sweet potato, that mushed up white stuff is cauliflower cheese and sloppy broccoli. I made my issues known, it’s simply not good enough to give preferential treatment to regulars, unfortunately we are local and were just out for a Sunday lunch. Like I said what we had was nice, and graciously and politely served, but if you know chef you will get larger, large portions. Don’t go here if you don’t know chef.

We visited here for a Sunday roast, great value for Money, £14.95 which includes an alcoholic or soft drink. Very friendly & helpful staff, along with a nice selection of real ales.

One of the best Sunday Roasts, we have had in a long time in a pub. Homemade Yorkshire, lovely fresh vegetables and lovely gravy too. Thank You.

Called in and found a clean table straight away and ordered via the app Drinks arrived near enough straight away with food in about 10 minutes. Piping hot and very tasty for both meals! The pub itself self is becoming very tired and needs a good revamp!

Stopped here for a quick bite in the evening whilst passing through. Limited menu, I had pie and chips. It was hot and tasty so no complaints. I sat at a small corner table and when I went to put my bag on the floor my elbow got caught up in a whole nest of cobwebs that ran floor to ceiling. Moved to a different table and when I looked at the carpet it was glistening with slug slime! Yes you read that right!! Trails and trails of slug slime all over the carpet. I went to put my bag on the chair next to me. The chairs are covered with faded pink felt like fabric that would have been all the rage in the 70s but it was thick with long hairs all trapped in the fabric. The window sills were covered with dead flies. The bar man - am I allowed to say man in these politically correct times?? The bar person / server was however very friendly, welcoming and polite. Very depressing place, definitely needs a clean and makeover.
