The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

We visited the Froize today for my grandads birthday and it was superb. Two of the party were vegetarian and the owner went out of his way to make us 4 vegetarian options (stuffed mushroom, root vegetable pie, mushroom stroganoff and nut roast). Amazing homemade desserts also. Its so rare to find a restaurant that go out of their way for vegetarians to give lots of out of the ordinary options, and we were lucky enough to get to try some of each dish! Thank you for a lovely lunch, we will be back!

We recently had Sunday lunch at the Crown Inn to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. It was fantastic! We had sole use of The Snug, which comfortably seated 14 of us. The food was delicious, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. Many thanks! We highly recommend this restaurant.

Great value lovely food could not fault it! Lots of choices all prepared to order. Best Ham and cheese salad served with new potatoes absolutely great!

I absolutely love this unique cinema and it's restaurant. It has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, superb selection of drinks, food and treats! So much nicer in every way than the large impersonal cinema chains. The food was delicious, amazing roast beef!

The food is good here, that wasn't the problem. As with some of the other reviews, we found the old man ( I presume he is the owner ) extremely rude. He came to take our order as soon as we sat down. He didn't ask if we needed more time, he didn't say anything, no greeting, or 'What can I get you?' Just stood with his pad, pencil poised. We had barely had a chance to read the menu or look at the chalkboards so my friend asked if they had crab salad. The old man did not answer, just shook his head vigorously, -no apology offered, or 'No, I'm afraid not' A young lady served our meal, she was perfectly pleasant. As soon as we finished eating the old man came to clear away. He took my friend's coffee and she hadn't finished drinking it. As we wanted dessert we asked what 'crumble of the day' was. He just shrugged and said, 'well, we finish at three here'. It was ten to three, so no dessert for us. The opening times on the website say they close at four. If you have reached an age when you simply want to be an old curmudgeon and feel you can no longer offer your customers a warm welcome, it really is time to retire. Before you wreck your business. The strange thing is, there are many good reviews for The Mulberry Tea rooms. Perhaps they weren't served by him. Perhaps he has good days and bad days. We won't be going back to find out.

Chose to go here as they allow dogs inside and was nice to see the 'help yourself' station to dog bowls, water and a treat jar. Lovely breakfast and friendly staff.

Really enjoyed freshly cooked, massive portion, and friendly staff. Only issue is that we had to travel from Holbeach to find very good fish and chips. Will definitely return.

We went to the Mulberry Tree and had a family meal. The venue was relaxed and pleasant. All the staff were excellent, pleasant, polite, prompt and attentive. The food was very good. Will definitely go back. The only very slight negative was the limited vegetarian choices available.

Why I have taken so long to come here I do not know ,has been going for over 40 years. The service was incredible so personal, wine recommendation spot on, the food was amazing . The food is freshly cooked, you can so see this in the taste and presentation , and there was a sweet trolley too !!! My husband and I had such a lovely evening here, will be coming back too

Only had a hot chocolate. Female staff handling croissants & then putting them into display cabinets - gloves would be appropriate.

Amazing views outside but sadly it was a little too cold to sit, so we had to go inside. It would be great to have heaters and a more cozy seating outside. The staff were very friendly and we liked the food too, quite affordable.

Another outstanding meal at the Pig and Abbott this evening. Always friendly and welcoming. Great service and fantastic food.

The food was amazing , everything was cooked beautifully and the staff were very attentive and informative . Amazing value for a set 2 or 3 course with just the right size menu to choose from . You know if a menu is too vast it’s not doable for the chef to be all his own work . Thank you everyone . We had a lovely evening

We booked in for breakfast and it was simply delish!!!! We got to meet the new landlord , Ryan. He simply couldn’t do enough to make our breakfast good. If you have kids then these guys understand that and know how to keep them entertained! The kids enjoyed colouring while we had a coffee and waited for our breakfast. The kids has waffles and chocolate spread with strawberries. We had the the full English. The mushrooms are to die for! We will be back! Great place to start your day. We have been here before with the previous owners and always felt like we were in the way!

Not a local, but will make a point to return to this place. For me everything was cooked fresh and with a smile- sat down to eat and was served well, very clean place - keep up the great food and service.
