The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Tried for the first time , chips were cooked perfectly, fish was amazing! Good portion size, Would definitely use again.

I stopped off at the Eastern Esplanade branch on Saturday to get some cakes. Not to sit in, have table service or anything like that. 3 cakes in a brown paper bag to take away . One Bakewell slice,one Viennese whirl and one London cheesecake (these are the pastry ones with stringy coconut on the top). The Bakewell slice was a fair size but the Viennese whirl and the cheesecake were very small indeed. When the young lad told me the price I'd tapped the card machine before it registered that I was actually paying £9.65 for 3 cakes. I questioned this with a lady who was also serving and despite me telling her that the sign for Viennese whirls and fingers clearly showed 2.25/2 .75 respectively she kept saying it was right and continued to charge me £3.45 for the Viennese whirl. Had I not tapped I'd definitely have said don't bother and with hindsight I should have asked for my money back and left the cakes. Ridiculous prices for very average cakes. We've used this branch quite often but their prices have rocketed. Definitely won't be returning!

We recently attended a private occasion here. On previous occasions when we have attended “do”s we have been able to park free, but the hotel is under new management and everyone using the car park has to pay. £5 for the evening….yes £5!!! It would have been cheaper to park in the station car park. Attendees were asked to make their menu choices a week in advance, fair enough. The food… the pigs cheek terrine consisted of slices of flavour-free meat in jelly, a huge amount of jelly, accompanied by pickled mushrooms and dry toasted brioche. Two mouthfuls was more than enough. You may ask why I had a second mouthful if the first was so bad - I was making sure that it really was that dreadful. Next, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with vegetables. The beef looked promising, but was actually very chewy and lacking in flavour. The Yorkshire puddings were thick and solid and the vegetables undercooked, not just al-dente. Someone else on my table remarked that the gravy was the best part of it. However, the vegetarians had the worst experience - the kitchen had, wait for it……FORGOTTEN TO COOK their option! Yes, really! So we had a long wait while they found the poor unfortunate vegetarians something to eat. By the look on the face of our companion it wasn’t worth the wait. Desert was probably the least awful part of my meal, cold chocolate brownie and ice cream (half a scoop) on a very hot plate. Perhaps that was meant to warm the brownie up? Someone on our table had ordered cheese and gluten free biscuits. They were given cheese, nothing else, just cheese. There were some other oversights, for example inadequate cutlery laid. I would have thought that “new management” would be working hard to make a good impression, but I certainly cannot recommend this place on any level

Michelle and her team are great hostess’ they made me feel very welcome. Atmosphere is great made even better by the locals who are great fun! Accommodation is clean and fresh. I would definitely recommend a visit and a stop over. I will be back

Great cafe with a smashing atmosphere. Food was priced cheaply and of very good quality. I loved it and will be going again. Well done.

We are staying nearby and booked this pub for evening meal last night and tonight. We then read the reviews and were worried. We didn’t need to worry about. The land lady was very polite and friendly. Had a lovely chat with her. The food was absolutely amazing and we couldn’t fault anything. The price was very good for the portion size and quality of the food. We would definitely visit again. They take card payments as well.

Nice reception in friendly pub. Good range of beers. Short menu but enough choice. outside apace available.

Don't microwave your beans .. They are hard. When you blast microwaves it ruins beans.. Learn from that Dont do that Many thanks.

Visited today, had the best roast dinner, three had beef and one had chicken, ample portions,definitely compliments to the chef, lovely food and lovely staff. Ray & Jackie.

The worst fish and chips we have ever had, went to burham to have fish and chips at the jolly fryer unfortunately it was shut. So gave sauda village other try. Never again the chips were black the sausages were tasteless and dry. Fish was dripping in oil. The table outside was filthy had to clean it ourselves. I don’t know how they got a 5 rating from EHO

I like their Birthday cake so much, but it is little bit expensive. And I am also happy to see them open during lockdown for takeaways.

Visited Café X mid-morning on 09/09/2020. Café have a good Covid-19 protection system in place whereby you order at the main entrance window, & your food is handed out another window. The lady who served us was also friendly and helpful. I order the SMALL breakfast, that as you can see on the menu is £7.00. Plastic cutlery. Coffee is disappointing Instant Coffee, although it is advertised as Instant. The toast had no flavour whatsoever and tasted like cheap nasty budget wholemeal bread. It really was rank. Possibly reheated. Not enough butter either. The egg wasn't runny, it looked like it had been flipped over or possibly even reheated, it was fairly tough. The bacon was unsmoked and although it was nice and thick, it was fairly fatty and tasted cheap quality / greasy. The hash brown and black pudding, yeah OK I guess, but I have had way better. Now, I could forgive all this if the price reflected the quality of the product. But it doesn't. Much too expensive for poor quality food. If this has cost me £4.00 I probably wouldn't quibble as the cost and quality would match somewhat. We won't be eating here again, we had slightly dicky stomachs afterwards too. It is a shame, as if you bought better quality produce, got a far better chef, kept the prices the same and made the presentation better, you would have a roaring repeat customer base given you are situated on the A47. But im sorry, as you are, it's far too disappointing.

My mother was having "Care meals" from the White Heart. The abruptly stopped. One phone call two weeks ago to say they were having electric problem and couldn't deliver that night. Nothing delivered the following night. I called the next day and was told they were having supply issues and should be up and running again after the weekend. She has not had a delivery since. Their phone goes unanswered and the building is locked up. Searching on line I have found that the premises are up for sale. Appalling treatment of the elderly and vulnerable. Leaving them high and dry and out of pocket. Where do they go to get money back?

Though we're regular shoppers at this store I'd only eaten breakfast in the café and that was before the refurbishment. The hot drinks machine was out of order but there was free help-yourself tea and coffee. We ordered the large portion fish and chips, which was freshly cooked and hot. Service was friendly and efficient though rather slow, coonsidering how few diners there were. That wouldn't put us off eating there again.

La he comido varias veces por la noche cuando me hospedo por negocios en el hotel. Los tiempos de espera son generalmente largos y la comida bastante normal. Los entrantes son particularmente decepcionantes. Una apuesta segura es el filete de solomillo. Evitaría la mayoría de las otras opciones. La mayoría de las visitas comienzan con una disculpa por lo que no está en el menú esta noche. Como digo, quédate con el bistec y ve a otro lugar si te quedas más de una noche. Buena suerte píos!
