The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Lovely venue with a great atmosphere , food was lovely everything came out on time and nice and hot, Ellie made our evening great, will definitely be returning

First time visiting The Pantry Fine Foods and as the saying goes, it does what it says (on the tin) ... best summed up as a hint of USA but the best of Brit versions of USA food which remains, better than actual USA scran. It's easy to understand why the place was packed...but the service was, spot on. Go and enjoy the enthusiastic servers and clearly, most capable chefs who worked tirelessly to maintain obvious satisfaction throughout the restaurant.

Food lovely, courier was great

We love having Sunday lunch at the Black Horse - great food, friendly staff and swift service. I must be careful not to rave about it too much otherwise more people might go there!!

We had a school reunion in their garden room. Such a pleasant venue on a sunny day with a lovely veranda to enjoy the sunshine.

Great little restaurant with a really nice menu. There are other things available alongside fish and the food was good and service is always friendly. Great garden area in the summer overlooking the sea. Lovely little find.

Excellent food and great service in a lovely country location. A good selection of choices on the menu, with blackboard specials too. The Sunday roast menu is exceptional value for money. Will definitely visit again.

Pub by the river what’s not to like Good quality pub grub

Done some research online & found Coasters and it looked great so booked up for a early evening meal with my wife. The restaurant has a warm friendly feeling & we were made to feel really welcome by the staff. I have to say i have never been to a restaurant & liked nearly everything on it but at coasters this was the case. Lots of choice from starters to mains & great deserts. I opted for a soup starter which was thick & very tasty served alongside bread & butter, and my wife had the fried squid which was also cooked & seasoned to perfection. We both opted for the fish & chips which was again cooked to perfection & was served with a very generous portion of very chunky chips! & garden peas. After all that we couldn't manage a desert ! which was a shame as the desert menu looked awesome. The restaurant also benefits from some very quirky eating pods outside which seat up to 4 people which we will definitely try next time. All in all Great food Great service Great atmosphere and we will be back with friends next time. If your looking to eat out in Southwold you need to come here & just a note, you can also conveniently book via the website.

Absolutely amazing dining experience at The Grill at Twenty5 sSarted with the Japanese style fried chicken, and wow! The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the horseradish mayo was a revelation – a tangy, creamy complement that elevated the dish to another level. It was a delightful starter For my main course, I opted for the rib eye steak, and it was nothing short of perfection. Cooked precisely to medium/rare, the steak boasted an incredible char on the outside, inside, it was juicy, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Every bite was an absolute pleasure. It was easily one of the best rib eye steaks I've ever had. Instead of a desert ended with a beautifully made Espresso Martini. The service was impeccable, attentive, and friendly. The Grill at twenty 5 has truly earned its 5-star rating. Highly recommended.

As usual we had a great evening here and the food and service was as ever as ever. Lucy looked after us perfectly and it was just her second shift working here as she did great with a lovely smile. Thanks Lucy.

Eat here often. Staff are friendly and food is excellent. Never experienced any of the problems that some negative reviewers have but have seen the staff deal brilliantly with drunk, abusive people

Food is lovely. The chef is doing his best in preparing tasty dishes. Serving is lovely and atmosphere is friendly.

The Cross Keys has a cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and plenty of parking. The food arrived quickly and my partner's halloumi fries were tasty. Unfortunately, my haddock was very disappointing and had a bad taste. I wouldn't recommend ordering fish here.

Looks a bit tatty from the outside to be honest, but a proper old pub inside. Great selection of beers and ciders, which I couldn't unfortunately sample as I was driving, but I got told (numerous times) by the other members of our large party... Food was just good pub stuff, fish and chips, burgers, chilli etc - but my partners whitebait was some of the best I've ever had. Simple food but well made with fresh ingredients, easy really.
