The best restaurants serving British food in Forest Heath East of England

The 'carvery' is very poor, the veggies undercooked and clearly frozen roast potatoes. The chicken looked like a regular sized chicken from Tesco which meant tiny portions. The dining area was very dirty and obviously not seen a vacuum cleaner in a long time. Never again!

I had a lunch with friends and was astonished at the tiny size portion of my lunch. The Dayboat Stew consisted of a tiny amount of fish - a few prawns, one mussel and a small piece of salmon( I think! ) - with no additional vegetables or potatoes. Priced at £24 this was very poor VFM. When I mentioned my feedback to a member of staff they just laughed and said ‘haha a small lunch’. My friends had the roast beef with the beef seemingly having been microwaved. Very disappointing for a beautiful setting and an occasional that was special.

What a great place to go, wonderful views, lovely gardens, Becky and Gary such nice people, cannot wait for the menu's to be finalised and to experience some culinary delights..All the best for your new venture.

This place does an excellent Sunday lunch, good value for money, very well presented and extremely tasty. The cauliflower cheese was very good, best I have had, we went as a family group and were very pleased with the food and the price is very reasonable can certainly recommend. Will definitely be going again as it is so good, well done Chef

We recently had a meal at Judes Ferry. The food was very nice and so were the staff which would normally make this would have been a 4 star review at least. Unfortunately the front door is left open which makes it cold and the whole place needs a refurbishment inside and out. I know everything cost money but a coat of paint would make it so much better

Our breakfast was absolutely perfect. Everything was delicious and the service was great. My duvet and I had the full breakfast and my son/husband had the sandwich.

Called in on way back from beach. Ordered small fish and chips. £9.70!! I was the only one in the shop 3.15 and one person serving. Got back to my van and the fish was like a mini sardine so small and the chips were dry shrivelled and most probably started their life the night before. I also noticed from the leaflet I picked up that I should have been charged about £6 as there was an offer on. I phoned to complain 6 times but no one answered so took it back and got my money back. Second time this has happened load of old trash. Never again.

Good environment and very good food. Staff was very welcoming and kind. Good options of food and drinks. Definitely enjoyed this place.

By far the best resturant around ... lovely staff nice pub

Cheap but delicious snacks, very friendly staff, we often come here. The coffee is not bitter, the sausage rolls are the best, and there is a wide variety of savouries and sweets as well as soft/hot drinks.

Waitrose offers and excellent stop for snacks and tea/coffee with free parking. Newspapers as well! A great plus in these days.
