The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

The trays at the service till were dirty, the table was dirty and I had to clean it (luckily I always carry hand wipes with me) when we told the lady at the pay point that the trays were dirty all she said was sorry, so we had to carry our stuff to the table with out a tray which was difficult for us as I have disabilities (these are evident). I probably will not be visiting this place again

I booked my wife’s 60th birthday party here, two months before they cancelled all bookings and keep all the deposits. Please do NOT book this place they ruined birthday party’s and weddings

One star for the kids pizza meal which went down well, the pizza was super cheesy! The other star was for the beautifully cooked lamb in the special board lamb curry. Super tender. Sadly the flavour of the curry sauce was not a curry and not even that nice a tasting casserole. Such a shame, could have been really super.

Had the new Christmas turkey and ham hock sandwich,very disappointed,looked nothing like the menu picture, was dry over cooked and bland,they have skimped on the filling and had sold out of gravy when I ordered,they promise a lot on their menu picture but I would not buy this again,Norwich cafe has gone down hill lately and shutting the first floor cafe was the worst thing they could have done as the second floor cafe cannot cope.

Fancied a roast, I had beef, hubby had gammon, we had it delivered and it did take an hour and a half to arrive, but it was piping hot, great amount of tender meat, veg were nice, carrot and green beans, peas and gravy, there were lots of roast potato's, I would prefer some mash or new potatoes and less toasties but these are just my thoughts. We did enjoy it, so all good.

Had lunch here Great food lovely staff loads of parking space, not to far from town centre,nice countryside pub

Had dinner, breakfast and lunch through out our holiday, food enjoyed and service very good. One of the staff members Rye, went above and beyond to make our experience memerable, would recommend it to other families.

Oh boy, what an institution. The best fish and chips that I still remember from going to Southend in the 60's aged about 9 or 10 with my parents, I'm in my 60's now ! Though that was the original Bailey's fare. Went again quite recently, to find business had been sold. The food is still very good, but not as good as with the original owners.

Taken over, Wyevale no longer in operation, so bonus points not relevant! Dobbies provide a similar service, several of the staff still work here

Good meal,friendly service not bad price for that food. My children really look forward to get in there desserts. Highly recommend for families.

Pleasant staff Short wait while my cod & chips were freshly cooked Light and crispy batter tasty chips Old world charm well worth the walk to the end of the pier

This restaurant is keeping the garden centre going but not for long unless they improve the food quality,we ordered a bacon roll and a sausage in a roll , the sausage arrived in a sandwich for some reason and we sent it back,both meals were cold,it would seem that the fillings were not cooked to order and were just spare food left to one side waiting to be sold ,otherwise it would have been hot.give your kitchen staff more food quality training.

Used to be great. Decided to go again and what a mistake. Food inedible. Fish cooked in stale oil. Staff surly and it didn’t look very clean, Hope they didn’t overcharge me and good advice from others to check your bank statement. So many great places to eat in Baldock but this is no longer one of them.

This used to be a very nice traditional pub, with a good menu - what a difference a year makes! Bar moved, decorated in dull blue colour making the place look drab & uninviting. Barely anything on the menu bar fish & chips! Only 4 other diners in the place & like us were driven out due to thumping drum & bass music --- is that necessary at lunchtime?!? Won't be going back anytime soon.

Last Thursday me and my daughter ordered a Mega full English breakfast at The Cafe Arena on Burleigh Street. The portions were large however, the food on our plates were highly salty which made it inedible. Also, even though we were both very polite the staff appeared rude, frosty and very unwelcoming so we won't be eating here again. Maybe they dislike their jobs!
