The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Delicious food and friendly service. Breakfast came quickly, was hot and really tasty. I opted for the healthy breakfast which was visually stunning as well as tasty and filling. All the classics also available, plus many options to customise. Truly, something here for everyone. A well-deserved five stars.

I ordered my usual LARGE HADDOCK & MEDIUM CHIPS for my tea tonight and I was rather disappointed with the size of my meal. Last week at the same time I ordered my usual & I got a big piece of fish & a very generous portion of chips but this evening when I unwrapped it it contained a medium piece of fish with a small portion of chips which varied enormously from last week. The fish was cooked on too hight a temperature cos although the fish was cooked the batter underneath was not cooked enough cos it was a bit soggy. My meal was half the size of last week's meal which was also cooked properly unlike tonight's meal batter. I haven't complained cos it never changes anything so I will leave it to this site & the internet to make the necessary changes if THE VILLAGE FRYER even looks at it as sites like this seem to be way more effective!!!

Waited 30 mins before acknowledged & given menus. It was then 40 mins before our first drink on a Sunday morning. My latte was curdled (milk) which I sent back. Exchanged without fuss. Breakfast arrived much quicker than the menus did and was ok. Waitress delivering did not seem very happy or enjoying her work - very lacklustre This was our first and last visit. If you are in a hurry you will be disappointed. Easy like a Sunday morning I understand but I do not appreciate being actively ignored.

Popped into The Eatary on Saturday and had Pie and Mash,it was amazing. My husbnd was even more made up they had chilli vinigar and white pepper. Staff were amazing and polite definatley be going back soon

Having been Brasted’s devotees, this was our first visit to the restaurant at Caistor Hall and it was excellent. The whole building has been refurbished and now looks modern and welcoming. The room housing the restaurant under previous ownership was cold and underwhelming but is now a fine place to eat The menu essentially is the Brasted’s three course fine dining restaurant with good choices, good portion sizes and exceedingly well cooked. Many aspects set Brasted’s apart but one of them is the professionalism of the waiters and waitresses. Very well trained and very much appreciated. Would that other establishments aiming to operate in the fine dining arena got this important aspect right Nice to have comfortable lounges for a pre dinner drink and very nice to know that Caistor Hall is being well run and fulfilling its potential - we look forward to the result of the new extension works. Strongly recommended - best place to go

Great drinks, food and service! We popped in for lunch, didn’t book but were very welcome. Had a drink by the bar where our order was taken and then taken to our table. We had the set menu - all delicious!

Aquí usted pide comida, la recibe y paga en una pequeña porción de un mostrador. Cuando visitamos al menos 4 personas estaban 'trabajando' detrás del mostrador. Enfrente si éramos 12 personas sin embargo tuvimos que hacer cola 20 minutos para el servicio. La comida estaba lista, el personal era casi incapaz de servirla. Y no escucharon las solicitudes, lo que significa que varias personas tenían comida proporcionada que no era lo que pedían. Después de que finalmente te sirvan, entonces tienes que quitar las bolsas de té, agregar leche, etc. en un lugar pequeño justo a la salida del área de srving. Si alguien detrás de ti ha tenido la suerte de ser servido, entonces se quedan atrapados detrás de ti mientras haces malabares con tu bandeja, tazas y leche. Me sorprendería si hay una manera de exponer este lugar peor, o tener un servicio menos capaz.

Excellent food & drinks & cheerful speedy service. A seat outside for weary travellers to enjoy people watching. Te He

Service wasn’t too bad today although busy but why advertise Sunday roast if you’re going to sell out after 1.5 hours - you should plan better

Ordered the steak medium. Came out, not as I ordered. Forgot all the sides…. No check up on the food by the staff. Waste of time. Walked out leaving a Stella behind! Bad!!!

Stopped off here for a comfort break and a coffee. Excellent Americanos and scones all served promptly by friendly staff.

Went with my partner - staff were so friendly and accommodating. We had the Sunday lunch which was a really generous portion size! Roast potato’s were some of the best I have had in Brentwood. Would recommend and will be returning

i use to go their tuesday and thursday with my carer we enjoyed are visits we got served by nice girls staff we miss the sandwiches which they use to serve their

We recently had a meal at Judes Ferry. The food was very nice and so were the staff which would normally make this would have been a 4 star review at least. Unfortunately the front door is left open which makes it cold and the whole place needs a refurbishment inside and out. I know everything cost money but a coat of paint would make it so much better

How do you mess up a steak that badly, strange concept, they give you tablets, despite having 4 staff staring at you not saying a word, you do it all yourself and then they charge you for the service... I ordered the steak, rare, it arrived well done and tough as boots, I couldn't manage it, could be the worst steak I've ever had! Was never asked how it was, just got up and left. Really cold strange place
