The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Best burgers in town. Efficient and friendly service. As a local I wouldn't go anywhere else for fast food in Hunstanton.

We arrived at 3pm and were instantly informed that the tea room was closing at 4pm. We wondered if it was already closed as it was partly lit, with very dim lighting and we were informed that the heating had broken down, no apologies were given. The staff were extremely unfriendly and there was a distinct chill in the air not just from the lack of heating. The attitude of the staff was that they could not be bothered and customers were distinctly unwelcome as they were only interested in cleaning the tea room and tidying the tables. Whilst eating our scones that were delicious, staff were sweeping the floor around our feet as if they could not wait for us to leave so they could close up and leave. I bought a few products at the end of our tea and was overcharged by £18.00. When I queried the error I was told by three members of staff that the total charge was correct and when I insisted on seeing the manager he offered me £15-01 in cash even though I had originally paid by debit card. After further lengthy discussion and calculating I eventually received the correct amount of £18-00 in cash. We were extremely disappointed with the service and attitude of the staff, particularly the argument regarding the products purchased, where I was informed many times that I was in error. No apologies were forthcoming and I left the establishment with a nasty taste in my mouth that wasn't caused by the food I had consumed. The manager was less than helpful and when I contacted head office I was told that the errors and sub-standard service were due to staff shortages and inexperienced staff. We have visited many other branches of Wilkins tea rooms throughout Essex and found them all to be excellent with friendly and cheerful service and apologies for delays or when an item on the menu has been unavailable. I would avoid this particular branch like the plague.

After getting mugged off twice previously, I thought I'd give it one more chance to redeem itself. Well, I wish I hadn't bothered. 2 microwaved saveloys both split, what they call large chips, but I would call medium at best. And the best bit was the large cod which was6"" long and the same width and a quarter of that was batter. £14.70 for that. What a rip off, oh and they only take cash! I guess they don't have to declare it all. I'll never waste my money there again.

Over priced, poor quality and very bland food. processed chicken in sandwich :( jacket potato small and cold coffee warm not hot

Getting to the station with a pram you need to go on a long convoluted route which is not well lit up and you cannot buy a ticket!returning from London there are only stairs!! Not helpful and certainly not disability or family friendly

Use to love this place now not so sure last couple of times food served cold and waiting 20mins also no choice running out of food at 6 o'clock not good

Dodgy people avoid dodgy hygiene avoid dodgy food avoid , A total waste of space ruining the area pentlows loss only served to ruin the area with a bent landlord

Never been in a pub that looks and smells so clean and fresh! Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely return to eat next time as the food looked amazing. Bearing in mind we visited in December the gardens looked so cared for and so very pretty. If you’ve not visited this pub it is one of the best original drinking holes that don’t cost the earth!!

Tonight we had a night out with my colleges finally and we were so happy going out after 12 hours shift. We were about qp of us and met just after 8 pm (after shift) one of my colleagues haven't had a chance to grab some food and got 2 glass of cider at the pub when she suddenly felt sick and gone to the toilet to easy herself up. We were all cool and enjoying our night without being loud or making any issues. When my colleague came back from the toilet the pub manager came to us and loudly told my colleague off and to go home immediately. Honestly I felt so bad and didn't really get why someone needs to go home after throwing up IN THE TOILET. Tryed to talk to the manager lady but she kept telling her to leave. Myself I didn't feel all this act was right and felt that I don't wanna go back anymore because if u feel sick they just chuck you out without even asking you if you are ok.. I'm really disappointed!!!! We are in the pub drinking their drinks and once u get sick you have to leave?? What kind of treatment is it?? We have been to the pub many times but never had this treatment and also have to meantion we left lots of many there drinking.. Truly disappointed! To the lady who is the 'pub manager' would like to ask to be more human next time and stop acting inasent.. I believe this place used to have an other management team but after renovating things has changed.. WRONG DECISION!

Terrible service. No gluten free chips. No leaway I wanted vegetarian breakfast as it’s gluten free. Can’t do after 11:30 but have nothing else to substitute

Mesas no limpias ni limpiadas entre clientes. Orden necesita ser corregida. Podría hacer una visita de entrenamiento desde la oficina central. No impresionado.

Sadly this cafe did not reopen after Covid. A lot of people used to meet up there and there is no similar venue within a mile.

New years eve event good BUT somewhat spoiled by the venue. Bar automatically added a service charge to ALL drinks then did NOT give a receipt so many were unaware they were paying an extra 10% on the price of their drinks. Venue will not take cash so we will definitely not return. Very uncomfortable pillows and no hooks in en suite, even had to scan a barcode on phone to park the car.

Now i know it's quite hard to mess up a egg and bacon roll but you'd be surprised how many cafes make a terrible one. The one i had from tasty bite was sheer perfection! Bacon was cooked just how i like it with no floppy white fat, the egg was really runny and golden and the roll was straight out of oven fresh. Only taking 1 star away because the price is a little high but it's a trend with most cafes since the cost of living crisis.

With main meals for £6.49 this is an attractive eaterie option. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. Doing everything they could for us, including keeping us abreast of how long we were likely to wait. Nicely laid out in spacious and relaxed fashion the restaurant is a pleasure to be in. The food portions were pretty generous too (especially considering the price). Thanks everyone.
