The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Selected to visit this pub to watch live football whilst in St Neots recently. There are at least two screens, a pool table, fruit machine and the venue hosts live music typically (although it’s unclear during COVID times). To that end, it’s a regular local pub with a predictable array of beers on tap and classic features. The drinks are well priced, though.

Haven't been in there since I was at college, not much has changed, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. The food was hot and didn't cost the earth

Very tasty food, service a little slow at some points but Ruth and Jamie our wait staff were very friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed our dinner and so convenient just off the motorway!

Banged my head on the stupid oak beam and the woman who served us hates humans and should go and live under a bridge! I think the bang on the head made me lose at golf the following day!

Warm and welcoming. Excellent food and service. Good value. We went on grill night and had rump steak which was very tasty.

Terrible food like eating rubber Would never eat there again. Had two mixed grill and both of us agreed we couldn't eat spoke to staff But as it was football the place was packed and not enough staff waiting on tables and not very helpful

Wow , havnt been for few months we got a steak / rib combo n chicken steak combo , we love ours cooked well done but still soft not chewy , the food was amazing , best rib / steak combo ive ever had , fries mush room toms everything was perfection , the flavouring was amazing , i asked to see chef and told him his name is chef ian , we all love to complain but i needed to tell him its the best ive had .10/10 ...

The drinks were lovely once we finally got them (cappuccino & hot chocolate) but the queues were really long. The cafe is very light and airy and they were lots of seating available.

Lovely country pub warm and welcoming, we stopped off on our way home and had 2 ploughman’s and a portion of chips. The staff were polite and friendly and told us the entertainment came for free. It was a lovely spot to stop made we wish we had a pub like that at home

We visited the Strand Tea room as it was the most traditional place in Leigh on Sea, The bread pudding and custard was home made and tasted wonderful. We chatted to the owner and he told us about the history of the area and that this tea room was an original building. Great coffee and lovely and quirky in a good way.

I like old hotel buildings with character and this fitted perfectly overlooking the beautiful church. A little dated in the main areas (toilets could do with a redec) but that keeps with the 16th century atmosphere. The single room was modern, clean with the bed being a little too soft for my liking but I slept ok. Shower was modern although one drawback was it wasn’t a power shower and it had a somewhat weak waterflow with hot water taking some time to come through. The TV was somewhat dated but it worked ok. Room made up each day I was there (3 days) and tea/coffee/biscuits replenished. Breakfast selection was ok and I did not have any cooked offerings but could do with a little extra selection. One draw back here was the butter portions were rock hard so could not spread on toast. Short time window for dinner 7-8.30pm and a bit late for me and no dinners served Sunday either. Parking was a little tricky with space for 3 or 4 cars depending on size but on road parking 6pm-8am (free and time restricted) suited my circumstances.

After travelling 12 hours turned up at 21:40, the booking email says restaurant closes at 10pm..was refused food. Went to room to hang my suit, no hangars or wardrobes to hang/prepare a suit and to top it off the bathroom hasnt been cleaned and the mirrors are dirty, wifi is terribly slow and the road noise is constant. Believe it or not i had a better nap on the ryainair flight over. There is a holiday inn express 5 metres away, regardless of price, stay there instead

Exceptional stay. Amazing food, service and rooms. Recently stayed for our first wedding anniversary and will be coming back each year that passes.

Went in Auguest for lunch. Something I thought was rude bill before I ate. Also I asked for a savaloy then a sausage came out and when I was cutting my savaloy was hard. Never coming here again. Also, saw that salavoys/sausages was sitting above. Was not in the deep fryer. And the women was nice but had the men chit chat. I would not recommend to come here. Cherry Pepsi £2.00 or a bit higher?? Like I said would not come again!

Good food from my favourite chefs Jay and Alisha. Looking forward to Sunday for roast dinner no one does it better!!!
