The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Went for lunch at this pub today with my wife and one of our friends. The food was excellent, the service was very good could not fault it. The restaurant was warm and friendly. If you are in this area of Norfolk and looking for some where to eat ,you will not be disappointed with The White Lion@ Wheatacre.

Popped in today for a few beers and to sit in the immaculate beer garden having been past on many occasions. Friendly polite staff, lovely clean well kept pub and a cozy looked after beer garden. I didn't have any food but if you could rate smells coming from the kitchen I'd give it a 10. Well worth a visit especially in the sunshine and I'll definitely be back.

Lovely old Inn set in the countryside with bags of History attached . Great food and service definitely book a table if I was you.

Good food Reasonable price Great service Very busy but so worth the wait that's for sure would definitely go again if in GY

Lovely pub, friendly staff, food was amazing. Will definitely return

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

Delicious fish and chips, with very kind staff. Lovely place to go and eat. We came from London with two small children on a day trip.

A good old boozer, with great selection of ales & Belgian beers

Great service. Tasty fresh food.

My first visit today Mother’s Day, I was with my daughter and granddaughter. It is such a quaint place very well set out with a lovely garden although we ate inside. The service was very good and we we served very quickly although it was starting to get busy, the food was excellent in my opinion ( could have done with some parsnips though 😃) and with drinks a very reasonable price and am looking forward to Father’s Day next, definitely a place to return to.

Semi-regular since 2013ish. Update Feb2025 & Apr2025: well kept beer, good quality food in good sized portions, friendly staff, small and cozy, nice beer patio, right next to church (bell ringing practice Wed evenings!). A recent change in management has resulted in a change in menu. Now, pub classics sit alongside a menu's "Asian corner", a small selection of home-cooked Asian dishes with a genuinely authentic home-cooked knowledge about how to prepare the meal. Whether British or Asian, all of the food here is packed with flavour, well-presented and good value.

Superb food and atmosphere. The service match this! The pub is simply lovely, a proper village pub. Thank you from the Eatons

Went to visit this pub with a colleague for lunch a week ago. We tried another pub in Colney Heath. However, they did not serve lunch on Tuesdays, which is when a local suggested this pub instead. Great staff and a very good proper lunch. People were starting to enter by the time we left but overall a nice little pub and definitely exceeded my expectations.

Went for a visit for breakfast and wasn't disappointed. Food was beautiful, staff were extra friendly and it's an interesting place to go. Fresh yogurt with fruit and a bacon sandwich went down a treat. The full English looked great. Nice options for seating from sofas to bar type tables and an outdoor space. Right by the canal so had a walk then went back for another coffee. Definitely worth a revisit.

Very nice and good atmosphere , brilliant cakes with a lovely coffee option!
