The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Possibly the worst café on the planet, maybe even this galaxy, drinks that never arrived, food that took so long to arrive that I saw young boys grow into long trousers and staff that make it so obvious that they do not want to be there I’m surprised they don’t put up as sign advertising that customers will seriously inconvenience them. If you are expecting service, courtesy and food, do not go to the Sainsbury’s café at Tollgate.

Cold room mouldy bathroom and shower not working,No breakfast offered bar area smelt of dogs.£130 for a 1 night stay. Very disappointed

Ordered the small breakfast & the ordinary breakfast both came out cold. Didn’t complain at the time but when the plates were collected we told the waitress who said “why didn’t you tell us”. If we’d have said something all they’d have done is probably microwave the plate spit on it and hand it back. Weatherspoons you need to up your game.

We had a really delicious Sunday lunch at the pheasant. The roast dinners are very generous portions and really tasty. We also had pudding, I would recommend the Eton mess! Thank you to our server Millie also, great job! Really friendly place, will definitely be back!

What an amazing little find. Driving by and pulled in. Made to feel welcome and stunning Sunday lunch in a comfortable environment

Lovely night out at the Bell, many thanks to Taylor for looking after us so well, what a lovely young man! The new menu is delicious too!

Lovely visit to a lovely pub. We did the Big Dog Ferry and stopped at Geldeston Lock for a couple of hours. Very helpful and friendly staff. Food was quick to order and arrive and was lovely. We both had an all day breakfast (mine was vegetarian). I really liked that the menu is so flexible for vegetarians and vegans in particular.

We visited today, family of 3 and our dog who was allowed in the bar or in the beer garden. The beer garden is lovely with plenty of well spaced tables and for younger children lots of play equipment. Very clean and well kept. Ordering can he done via app at the table or in the bar if you want to order with a human 😉 It was fairly busy but our food and drinks came in a reasonable time and the food was lovely. Chilli burger , scampi and children's sausage. All was presented well and tasted great and was reasonably priced especially considering how overheads and produce prices have rocketed. We also saw the carvery which looked delicious too so may have to go back for that. Overall a great experience, we will definitely go back and would definitely recommend.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! Disgusting, dirty bedroom and shower room. No fire escape if had to get out of the tiny window.....gross bed linen and towels....asked to be moved but no other rooms available and no availability in nearby hotels. Paid £190 2 nights with breakfast

Lovely character country pub. Real ales and good food. Friendly helpful staff. Best smoked salmon sandwich ever. Lager good too.

Came with Fridays and there was a black hair in my dinner when I told them they said it’s not them as no one has black hair very rude

What a great pub. Warm and welcoming. Friendly staff. Food was excellent and good value for money. Nice warm fire to sit next to with the dogs

Went to lunch on Friday lunchtime at the hardwicke arms while walking around the wimpole estate with my partner. Suberb! Although the bar seemed quiet we received very personal service. I had the Hamm, egg and chips which were some of the best chips I have tasted. My partner had a salmon and crayfish baked potato which was quite unusual. Both meals were decent size portion s and were delicious. The bar also has a gin the which had some unusual flavours Pity I was driving.... would certainly return if in the area again

We were going to a party nearby and opted to stay over at The Bull, for a Village Pub with rooms, it is very clean and comfortable with ample parking. The staff in the pub were warm and welcoming, the “on site chip shop” meant we could have a quick bite before heading to the party and they kindly ordered a cab and provided the number to contact for the cab back. Breakfast was very good and served with a smile. This is just what it says on the tin, with the addition of friendly staff.

Lots of empty tables outside we thought we would stop and have lunch as the big a frame board outside stated home made lunches. My partner went in to get a menu only to be told we do not do food. Might explain all the empty tables. I would suggest removing the a frame advertisement as well to save wasting other peoples time.
