The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Lovely staff, very polite and helpful, but wrong meal arrived, my husband had finished his by the time the correct meal arrived. The hot meal was served on a cold plate and the food was not thoroughly heated. Not an enjoyable meal or experience. We were offered 1 x complimentary drink to compensate. :(

Came in for drinks and food with friends and family! Food was brilliant at a low cost the atmosphere was lovely too with it being bank holiday it’s was busy everything came out too us quickly we was served our drinks quickly and even managed too have a dance. Will be coming back for sure.

Lovely place, food and staff were amazing! Id recommend to go for a great lunch out in Southend. The server was very nice and food was delicious.

Ordered fish and chips and a chicken shish kebab. Chips were cold, salad did not come as requested and the chicken was dry, did not eat. When I called to discuss with restaurant very rude lady at the end of the phone. Would not ever eat here again, absolutely disgusting service and food.

Don’t bother! Bought a box of cookies as we really craved some Bens Cookies, but we don’t have a store in Norwich, so settled for Millie’s. Really overpriced, cookies were tiny, they all broke in the box. The taste is non existent. Save your money!

My tea was not hot enough, which is pretty inexcusable for a Tea Shop. It should be piping hot, for the flavour to be extracted from the leaves. So I drank the two cups, in about 2 minutes flat, as I didn't want it to get even colder and thus cutting short my visit. Secondly (an most unusually), I did not receive a small jug of hot water, to 'top up' the pot. Even a cheapo cafe near the bus station (in every town, so to speak !!) ALWAYS provides this, let alone a "specialist" tea shop. The mother and daughter combo, seems like the Mother is really "in tune" with whole thing, whereas the denim wearing, tatoo showing rough-diamond daughter, just doesn't seem to fit in, to the business model, at all. The cakes are excellent.

Situado por encima del museo de Zoología esto debería haber sido un verdadero placer. En cambio fue una decepción. Los puntos positivos. Tiene un precio razonable con un té que cuesta £ 1. 75 . La comida se veía bien. Puntos malos Visitamos a la hora del almuerzo y no estaba ocupado. Esperábamos el servicio más lento que he experimentado sin ninguna organización y el personal aparentemente sin tener idea de lo que estaban haciendo. No había ningún sistema en el que el personal revoloteara de un pedido a otro. El café estaba sucio. Migas, bandejas y restos de comida en cada mesa y ninguno fue limpiado o limpiado en la hora que estuvimos allí. Señalización de virtud por todas partes. Comercio justo este lavado verde eso. ¿Volvería? - Me temo que es un no.

Having been to this eatery before and been delighted this visit was not good, after change of ownership. We tried the menu after the new owners took over and what a huge disappointment. The roast dinner was tepid in temperature. The chicken (small amount) was so dry I needed water to wash it down. The batters were plainly tiny hard shop bought and the parsnip were very hard as if barely or badly cooked. After we had finished what we wanted I had to go to the counter to pay as we had waited so long for them to collect our plates we were not sure if they were going to. Another couple who arrived sent their food back too. I would not recommend.

Busy at lunch time had not booked but were seated quickly. Ordered food took a little while, ok with that. Food arrived looked ok, but quality was poor, commented to lady and she would pass message to kitchen. Nothing more heard till we were leaving and said message was given to kitchen. The quality of the food seems to have gone down and the prices have gone up. No return visit planned.

Food and drinks are very nice and arrived quickly. My go-to starbucks since it’s the nearest and the nicest one i know of.

Quality has gone downhill fast. The chips all stuck together and the fish had rubbery batter, skin on and oil was not drained. Pretty grim.

Food was great, service was great. I had avocado and my other half had waffles. Really nice coffee too. We were in and out very quickly as had a quick turnaround.

Food was really nice . Service was fast & staff were polite although no one seemed to be local so not sure how recruitment works here. However, the food was lovely as I’d expect from Kentucky Fried Chicken. Only tip would be the chips could be a bit crispier.

No te molestes si tuvimos hambre! ! ! ! Allí esta noche pop como dice fuera de cocina de 12:00 a 9:00 cada noche! ! ! Llegamos allí a las 6. 30:00h y nos dijeron que no estamos cocinando como una broma es un pub para beber no es un comer uno! ! ! !

Ordered a burger and drink,took 25 minutes,narrowly beating my previous record of 23 minutes for 5 chicken selects and a drink. Easily the worst mcdonalds in history
