The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Awful. Near-cold baked beans, too-small sausages all put on a cold plate. Meal the size for a child. Coffee machines broken.

Elegir un pastel estaba bien, pero necesitaba 3 manos para sostener la bandeja, quitar la tapa de los bocadillos y poner dicho bocadillo en la bandeja, ya que no había ningún lugar para dejar el Reay. El bollo de queso estaba mal cocido y me dieron una taza para mi té, pero sin platillo, así que tuve que poner la bolsa de té directamente en la bandeja. Ciertamente no tendré prisa por volver.

We eat here most weeks either for breakfast or lunch (sometimes both!!) and I can honestly say you will hard pushed to find better. The staff are fantastic, friendly, efficient and nothing is too much bother for them. If asked they will adapt the meals to your preference without any complaints. The fish and chips is still the best in Clacton, fish is juicy with lovely crispy batter and no grease, chips are the same. I can not praise the staff or cafe highly enough.

Been here a couple of times before but this was the worst. Came here as happened to be in Biggleswade on business Overpriced completely for breakfasts and not allowed any breakfast swaps and wants to charge £1.50 for anything extra… waiter, in between being on his laptop with headphones, was trying to upsell and even at one point congratulated himself on being a great salesman!! You are not :-( Food quality not good and for £7 elsewhere I also get toast and a hot drink and good quality food. So wasted £21 and your milk was on the turn too!

The ship pub has a special place in my heart! It is a family run pub with a very welcoming atmosphere. Every weekend there is unreal entertainment as well as mid week quizzes. The food is always outstanding and I honestly will not go anywhere else for a drink.

1st time I have tried sainsys and was not disappointed, the pies are huge and filled to bursting point, mash was lovely and so was the liquor. Ordered and collected couldn't find a parking space so it was brought out to my car thank you for that. Will defiantly be going back for more. Didn't have time to take photos, it was demolished as soon as it was on the plate lol

This is such a disappointment. Needham Lakes is a wonderful gem in Suffolk. We visit often but this café and the adjoining toilets really let it down. The place could do with a really good clean. The food and coffee are mediocre. We were so thrilled when it opened bit it really hasn't lived up to expectations.

Wow! Ordered a jacket potato, pretty sure I've received a new potato. Beyond awful.

I am unsure why Gail’s gets all the hype it does. It is a very ordinary looking coffee shop from the street. You could easily walk past it. Once inside there is a nice pastry and bread selection, none of which are priced, and the area you order your drinks. I chose a latte and a cinnamon bun. The coffee was okay but not very warm and the service for it was slow. The cinnamon bun was tasty enough. I think for what you’re getting the cafe is expensive (£8.30 for what I ordered) and lacks a friendly atmosphere or any real vibe, which is a real shame. Perhaps there’s an element of complacency, where the cafe is living off a pre-conceived reputation. It’s just my opinion but there are better coffee shops close-by, with far warmer welcomes.

Not very happy with my experience. No gamon, dirty fork, thin gravy, no apple sauce, no cheesecake. Overall not happy and very disappointed.

Plusy - Lokal jest w super miejscu , przy molo w Lowestoft. ( stoliki dostepne na zewnatrz lub takeway - utrudnienia zwiazane z covid-19 ) Smaczna ryba i frytki , doskonle usmazone, odsaczone z oleju. Mila obsluga. Minusy - Kontenery ze smiecmi tuz przy wejsciu. Brudne stoliki. Nielad w calym lokalu. Sosy za dodatkowa oplata. Polecam ze wzgledu na smak i jakosc ryby.

A tasteless fish and chips.. dry chips... had to fight to get a mug of tea. The outer kitchen (where the teas and coffees are made) looked in great need of a high pressure hose... The young woman that took our order was short, fat and spotty, totally unsmiling and dedicated to being unhelpful... grumpy and snappy when asked a direct question.. My partner ordered a salad.. a bland and tasteless salad. We were allowed mugs for our tea at the third time of asking... one was dirty.. What a disaster!

We have visited this cafe several times over the years and it has been going steadily downhill,so much so that we don't want to visit any more. The only good thing g was the member of staff named Olly ,he collects the food orders, delivers the food, clears and cleans tables and any food spilt on floor, keeps coffee machines filled and condiments and cooler units filled. This is not easy when cafe is full but he is always cheerful and helpful even when dealing with co plaints. Give the man a pat on the back (or maybe a pay rise) More staff needed at busy times or cafe will keep losing custom ,menus need updating and food needs to be hot

Great food, however I’ve been here a few times now and the staff are so rude in comparison to the staff in the store. Such a shame because the food is really good especially the kids summer food deal.

Poor quality. Very small portions and no children's menu. We had fish and chips which we overcooked, chips were like bones and fish thick batter, again overcooked. Ate at 6.00pm so no excuse for not having freshly cooked food available. We put the lot in the bin!
