The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Best in Norfolk if you ask me. Never go anywhere else for my king prawn curry, and the kids love the chips and curry sauce :))

Meals were good. Ate here the 2 nights we stayed had plenty of choice. Really enjoyed the chicken tikka Masala wine was lovely.

The place is quite beautiful: a very elegant and charming place. Service is quite good (well-manered albeit too slow) even on a very busy evening. Wine list is interesting and nice, with special offers on well chosen items (a very decent Bandol that evening), But, food… not quite what it should be. It is poor and not matching expectations. Too few ingredients. Frugal and stingy wishes in every ways. Flavours too vague. No shape, no sharpness. In other words: lots of room for improvement. Yet not an awful evening at all but not sure I’ll go there to eat again—having drinks is nice and good enough.

Absolutely fantastic food, we ordered large cod and large chips to share between two and the size and quality was outstanding, we had read previous reviews so were a little bit unsure but both the food and staff were spot on, well done The Catch.

Good prices and friendly shopkeepers

Be very careful when using this take away through just eat, as they do not honour the just eat confirmed price. I was asked for a delivery charge which was 50% more than that confirmed by the just eat portal. Bit of false advertising going on in this case I doubt. So to other prospective customers, be aware that Gaze may well charge their own supplemental price to deliver. Not impressed!

Really nice chilled atmosphere when arriving c. 8pm on Friday 21st Feb. Got served straight away. No crowding, found a table. Leffe was topped to the brim and very tasty. Food however was a different matter - My order of chicken topped bacon + cheese was devoid of any heat at all. The peas were literally stone cold. The chips that were served with it were hot. My wife's Barbecue chicken pizza was poorly cooked the dough virtually uncooked in places. The barbecue sauce had just been squirted in a couple of places on top rather than being an integral part of the pizza base. We did talk to the waiter (of apparent chinese extraction) however an AI robot would have had more empathy. We didn't think it was worth our while complaining and sending the dishes back as who knows what might happen in the kitchen to punish us for deigning to complain. So the next night of our stay in Brentwood we went to the supermarket and got a takeaway kebab !

Don’t waste your money here. The food (we had cake) and drinks are fine… how hard can it be to make a cup of tea? It’s the surface here which is appalling as well as the manners and attitude of the staff. We ordered two slices of cake, a pot of tea, a children’s drink and a cup of coffee. It must’ve taken almost 10 minutes for these things to be delivered to our table… We sat in the dog-friendly area because I had taken my small black dog with me. The dog friendly area had an empty water bow;l today was a very hot day and my little dog was thirsty so i asked for some water only to be told they couldn’t touch the bowl, but they could get us a jug of water. Couldn’t see a problem with filling the water bowl, but my do, my responsibility; the water didn’t came so my friend went to ask again. The colleague who offered to get some water hadn’t so I ended up going to get the water that was intended for people to drink. Why advertise yourself as dog friendly when something as simple as a bowl of water on a hot summer day is too much trouble? Just rude, indifferent people. Service throughout the whole garden centre is impossibly slow. there's an absolutely brilliant little local nursery just down the road, and just across the road from dobbies there is a fantastic café , go there instead and spend your money there. Dobbies is a big chain and they really don’t seem to care about customer service.

Needs a visit from food standard agency. This place is unhygienic and dirty. The staff will not clean the tables people have to do it themselves which isn’t ideal because the tables will need to be wiped clean and disinfected before anybody sits down to eat, the cutlery is always dirty with food particles, the staff hygiene is the worse, people making drinks will be drinking their own drinks and wiping their mouth while making drinks for customers, the other one was making bread and butter and she dropped the knife, picked it up and carried on, one of them were all over the pastries while playing with their trousers for whatever reason. The chef stuck his head in the gap between front and back kitchen and put a plate of hot food that looked like breakfast itched his head and fixed the eggs it’s horrible I wouldn’t want to be the person eating that. One had a runny nose and although used a tissue he didn’t wash his hands in between making drinks. Sadly I saw all of this after I ordered my food/drink so I left as when I tried to cancel my order it was a problem, rude staff the list goes on…avoid.

The café floor I don't think has ever been cleaned.tables needed cleaning.one poor girl on the till and giving out food clearing away going to get numbers .will not return.coffee machine out of order.water all over the floor

Lovely bright cafe but extremely poor selection of food; quality of food very poor, cheap ingredients but not cheap prices. Very uninspiring, one of the worst cafes in a garden centre that I have experienced. Such a shame as it could have great potential. Cutlery cheap and thin ; no glasses for drinks, plastic beakers . Staff disinterested and lack of motivation. This visit no chips as no gas, last time no dishwasher, clearly need new management.

Not many decent drinking establishments in Bedford but The Standard is a nice place to meet up with friends. Live music was very loud when it started and drinks options especially craft beers are a bit limited but on the whole a decent place to spend an evening.

Vine aquí para el brunch / desayuno en un domingo - no es mi primera visita. Huevos escalfados en tostadas con porciones de granos horneados más el café. La comida se cocinaba rápido y el café estaba en la mesa a los pocos minutos de pedir. El personal parecía servicial y proactivo para mantener las mesas despejadas. Volvería de nuevo

Went to go get a coffee plenty of seats available just not cleaned. Stopped people going to get any refreshments. No wonder you are loosing money John Lewis. Staff members not doing very much chatting with each other

Customer service lacking. Latte passible and shop toilets filthy. At least seating area pleasant enough. In reality, not ideal!
