The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Charlie was an amazing would always recommend. Absolutely amazing service. If you're looking for a great night out definitely go to the angel

Don’t take card, either they’re on the fiddle or want their business to fail, who doesn’t accept card payments in 2024 ?? Rude staff… The chap who seemed to be either the manager or at least senior enough, verbally confronted me across the premises when I said jokingly I’d have a word with the Pier management about the Chip shop not accepting card payments - he said ‘What are they gonna do?’ Obviously this chap had not had the best day that day, or, he doesn’t have a great working relationship with the Pier management. Anyhow, his loss, there’s other places to buy chips in Clacton. I won’t be spending my cash there again.

We were staying in a cottage a short walk away. The pub was warm and cosy. We were made very welcome. A small menu but excellent fresh food. I had mushroom and spinach lasagne which was delicious. So tasty. My friend had scampi, said was the best ever tasted. My other friend had the cottage pie which was so good. The chef came to see what we thought, full marks. The bar staff were friendly and chatty. If you go you wont be disappointed. We will definitely be back, thank you.

Abir is such a sweet and kind distinguished gentleman. Give him a raise pls God bless him.

I cannot recommend breakfast with Santa enough. It was amazing. My 3 year old, myself and my mother were greeted at the door by elves who had an activity pack and breakfast ready for my little one, which was prepared really well and allergy free for him which I'm really impressed about. The adult breakfast came quickly and was really good. Followed by songs and Santa, who I can say is the best Santa we've ever seen. The layout, interaction and every detail was amazing! This is our 2nd year doing this and we will continue every year. Thank you Dutch Marketplace!

Nice location and okay food, which is a shame as that is where the good part ends. The Decor is well overdue for a re- vamp, the carpet is filthy, the tables are sticky and stained, the woodwork is in need of sanding and painting, the light fittings are 50 years old, the blinds are falling down, dirty toilets and there is dust, dirt and cobwebs everywhere and weeds outside on the patio area. This could be a nice place, but what is mentioned above, explains why we saw only 12 people in there on a bank holiday weekend !! Give it a wide berth until there is a sign of refurbishment.

Visited the restaurant for late lunch with a dog. Great nominated seating area for dogs. Very warm welcome from the staff and manager. Staff were patient while we made up our minds and dealing with the dog. The lunch- sausages and colcanon - was hot and tasty.

On a wet late May day we took shelter in the Pavilion Bar / Café on Cromer Pier. We would like to highly recommend the deluxe hot chocolate!

We were very disappointed with our visit to the Holly Bush for lunch today. It is a lovely building which used to always be clean and bright with highly polished brasses but now looked less so and the menu which was always extensive and interesting is now plain and boring. The service was very slow, apparently the oven stoped working but this was not explained until the simple food, 3 sandwiches and a jacket potato, arrived and the person serving us was obviously not happy, and we felt that we were something of a nuisance for being there! We have taken many friends there in the past but not any more.

Visité aquí durante su estancia en el CAMC , estaba bastante ocupado por un día de semana, pedido en el mostrador y se quedó esperando mi café durante unos 5 minutos a pesar de que no había que, los bollos eran grandes y se podía elegir su mermelada. El personal estaba bien, pero no demasiado amable, Café era agradable y caliente y los bollos eran agradables, pero habría sido mucho mejor calentado.

Location was lovely with beautiful Christmas decorations. Sandwiches were small, three each and on the small side with a tendency towards being dry. Scones were rock hard and very small. Went and told the server who came back with four warm scones so had to go and ask for another two. Cakes were small and nothing very special. No cake forks provided so acquired forks from a set table. Had to go and ask for more tea. Definitely not worth £30 each we paid.

Had my annual 23rd Dec buffet four yrs this year for remembrance for my late wife a day for family friends to be happy but when there was told we could not have function room as it was being held for a wake. We were segagrated and I'd paid deposit four months earlier paid in full the £300 There was enough for just a few and very basic not like yrs before total disgrace and disrespect. 1st 3 pictures are last year next 3 this year

Went in there on my own 5.30 Saturday about 6?people in the bar 2 persons watching which sounded like a porno film it was unbelievable the lady bar staff done nothing, the sound was louder than the back ground music Never will I visit this pub again, it deserves to be closed down

Quirky little cafe/shop. Very small inside seating area, also sells stuff through hatch onto pathway. Good tea and coffee, tasty bacon bap, friendly owner.

I always take my Nan here on a weekend when I visit her. She is in a care home just up the road with severe dementia and this is the only place I feel safe taking my Nan, as I know everyone is so lovely and understand the situation. They are patient whilst she decides what she'd like, friendly with her and chatty when she is in the mood and so so kind. It is the only place I will go now for lunch with Nan, I cannot thank the team here enough, incredible food, great value for money and the best customer service I've experienced I can honestly say. Thank You all so much x
