The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Called in for breakfast with my children, we had: the full Horatio’s, tea cake, bacon sandwich and a sausage sandwich. All looked great, my meal was very good, and the coffee was Spectacular! Very clean and pleasant cafe.

Great place to stay, lovely food and great atmosphere.

Think I dropped unlucky on my visit, the chips weren't fresh cooked although plentiful. The batter on the fish was thick and soggy. I'm hoping my visit wasn't typical of the usual standard . The lady behind the counter was very friendly but with the economic crisis going on people have to vote with their feet and I'm going to be more careful I'm getting value for money

Went with friends for xmass drinks, last orders at 10:30 pm, wtf. Always ulsed to be 11pm and in the lead up to xmass suddenly changed. Rude staff will not be visiting again. Will take our custom and money elsewhere..

We were staying in wrentham for the weekend and called in for a pint on the Friday and saw that Saturday was a tapas evening. So we booked a table for Saturday. Both the food and service were excellent. We would definitely visit again when next visiting the area.

We decided to pop in for a drink ,my partner went to the bar and I went to the toilet ,10 mins later my partner still at the bar not been acknowledged woman sat behind the bar not looking at him and what looked like the manager talking to some people ,fair enough if you can't serve say so or if your talking just say you will be a minute.They were so rude and ignorant maybe if we had been stuck up people he may have looked at us ,but we are just normal.One to avoid

Awful food. Had the fish and chips, the batter was rock hard, almost burned, the fish was soo dried up it was non existent, and the chips had been heavily salted. I then ordered the sticky toffee pudding, it was more like a syrup pudding and not a very good one, The serving staff were lovely, really helpful and friendly.

The Bicycle is consistently fabulous in every way. Menu uses very fresh seasonal food, presented beautifully and tasting top notch. The wine menu is carefully curated and Brian will explain the characteristics of a good wine to pair with our food choice. The welcome from Kerry, Brian and their staff is always genuine and warm. Restaurant atmosphere is very customer-focused and comfortable. I highly recommend The Bicycle for high quality, variety and everything I hope a good restaurant experience would be. Don't forget to book a taxi to get home .... then simply relax and enjoy.

Son had his wedding blessing here, together with bridal breakfast, evening reception and breakfast following day (hired several of the cottages as well as rooms in the main hotel - they couldn't be faulted.) Food was exceptional, so full from the breakfast ( huge home made burgers, chicken breast and BBQ with sides that beat anything I'd had in my previous 60 years), bars in events venue and main hotel, care from staff couldn't be faulted. With a walk through the gardens to the river at the end so see the broads boats go by while enjoying the sun, prior to the evening events. Guests enjoyed the more lively evening when the sound system was cranked up, before those who had to make their way to other places started leaving. Following morning breakfast was more than ample to get through to evening, a buffet bar plus cooked to order menus, full English was good, or a mountain of scrambled egg on toast with a thick large sliver of salmon as the roof. Highly recommend

We only went for lunch and we both decided to have the ribeye steak medium rare with chips. At £27 (now £34) a head we expected a decent steak but were very disapointed, it was tough, the waitress said she would tell the chef. They also add a 10% tip! A gratuity should be given for good service not just added to the bill.

They gave me Ligma. Which made me go erm what the sigma.

The food in this place is outstanding. Impossible to choose as all options sound delicious and that they are. Great selection of drinks. Cocktails top notch, they can make you anything you wish, including something you will love even if you don’t know what you want. Service is impeccable. The staff are so friendly and attentive through out. Knowledgable of the menu and quick to answer any questions about ingredients. (One of our party was pregnant.) Lastly just to make the experience there even more lovely, is the stunning atmospheric setting of the restaurant and bar area. Beautifully decorated, creating a Christmassy and warm ambiance. Highly recommend.

The food at the owl is just incredibly delicious! The salads are ever changing and very healthy! I love all of the food as it’s wholesome, healthy & homemade! I’m a regular visitor and it is my go to for takeaway food!

Can't fault their fish and chips: Big piece of fish a huge portion of chips; and cooked just right. I haven't tried the kebabs yet but I heard they are great too so will try soon. Very friendly staff. Keep up the good work!

Second visit to this great pub in Bungay. We were again very pleased with the friendly service, tasty reasonably priced food and great beer. The sticky ginger dessert was fabulous. . Will definitely visit again. Very dog friendly, comfortable table.
