The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Came here after a bad experience locally , it’s a ‘proper’ seaside cafe where the staff actually care. Made to feel welcome food came out fast and looked as it should . Club sandwich is an out and out winner. Just a good old fashioned cafe , result to find it !

We’ve enjoyed a weekend camp over at this pub and would highly recommend the venue. Camping in our campervan offered a large field with electric hookup, bins and chemical waste disposal in a peaceful location at the side of this great pub/restaurant. The team at the pub couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating, the food, drink and ambiance were all spot on for a relaxing and chilled out weekend. We enjoyed drinks on one night and a fabulous meal the next, that was like it was from a top restaurant, very well done and good value for what was served. Dogs are welcome, the place had a lovely village, family friendly feel, will definitely return, it was lovely to explore the local surrounding countryside.

Gorgeous food lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Good variety of drinks Large food menu. Swift service from friendly staff. Decent car park Felt warm on a cold day.

Always busy, but we'll be worth the wait. Michael, the owner, is very social, too.

Amazing Food. Plenty of options for Wheat Free, including simple adaptations to Menus. Really friendly Team that were the epitome of a Welcoming Environment. A really nice Evening was had.

Really good food, and plenty of it! Laid back atmosphere, friendly owner and staff.

Amazing roast, as always at the Cross Keys. Always have a great experience here, would highly recommend - fantastic service from Thomas and Ridley also - we’ll be back soon!

Popped in for a drink. Brilliant place. Didn't eat myself but food looked awesome. Staff were lovely and the locals were so friendly.

Excellent Gluten free choices. The man working was so friendly, one of the best gluten free fish and chips I’ve ever had. Will definitely be going back again

The Elm Tree is a North Star of great selection, wide acceptance, and small wallets. Great bar tender, great beer, and great aesthetic.

100 Percent amazing. The food is amazing and so is the family that runs it. Always remembers who we are and greet us even had a chat. Place is very very clean Even When ordering via uber you receive a good order.

Just phoned the restaurant to book a table for tomorrow. Was looking forward to trying the restaurant for Sunday lunch as the reviews were really good and the food looked great. Spoke to a man on the phone who was very abrupt, bordering on rude. When I asked to book a table he said there was a booking fee of £5 which would be knocked off my bill. I understand why a restaurant would do this so I had no objection to it. So I moved money from a savings account to a current account. He then asked for all my bank details and was unnecessarily brusk during the process. My card was declined and I couldn’t understand why. He then said it was £10. I said that I thought he’d said £5. He then clarified that it was £5 per person. I then moved across more money which takes seconds as it’s all on the one app but he was frustrated with me and asked if I wanted to call back later but he wouldn’t be able to guarantee the table. I was taken aback by his manner and poor attitude and decided not to bother booking at all. If the staff are this rude, my experience at the restaurant would not have been good, and although I am passionate about food, part of the overall experience is the service. I wish I had asked for his name as he does not deserve to have a job in hospitality, but I was a bit shocked at the time. So disappointing.

Great lunch, pub classics done to an exceptional standard. A very warm and friendly pub, in a pretty village. Dog friendly.

Haven't been here since I was a young child but today I visited for Sunday roast and enjoyed the meal, very nice. Staff very polite and professional with a nice warm cosy atmosphere. I will be back as I've already booked a ticket for one of their music events. Well worth a visit.
