The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Love it there always get great friendly service and a delicious panini and the coleslaw is all home made and fresh on the day, chilli jackets lovely,as is the prawn one, best poached eggs on toast, & delicious choice of fresh scones.. always leave them a little thank u note, perfect for a lovely earl grey and a snack while watching the world go by or meeting with a friend.. couldn't wait for them to re open again after lockdown...

Very Disappointed. Stopped for 1 night. We turned up about 7.30 and were greeted by a not very friendly young person. it felt as we were inconvenience. We were told kitchen will close at 8pm. So we had to find somewhere else to eat. Next morning after waiting for nearly 45 min the breakfast was terrible greasy and cold.

Down in Worstead on wee business trip, asked about possibility of lunch nearby and were directed to the White Lady. It was around 14:30 on a Sunday afternoon so expectations weren't too high (would have settled for a sandwich...). Friendly welcome, assured food would be no problem and we're given 3 menus! We're invited to sit anywhere we chose so opted for window seat in dining area to rear. We both opted for Sunday roast topside. Absolutely fantastic. Beef cooked to perfection, awesome roast potatoes and Yorkshire pud, came with glazed chantenay carrots, buttered green beans and zingy red cabbage, jug of lush gravy and topped of with dish of unctuous Cauliflower and cheese (each by the way). Thinking about making the 3 hour drive again just to have that experience again.

The tea room looks cute from outside but sadly the quality of the food does not match the decor. It was cold inside, the coffee machine was not working and not all items on the menu were available.

Chicken screws were nice, soft and juicy! Then restaurant was getting busy and the Seabass with new potatoes were pan fried but a bit over cooked.

A party of nine of us ate here for my husbands birthday celebration. Young waiter very attentive and we were treated very well all evening. Lovely atmosphere and attractive setting. Nice choice of dishes on menu and I thought prices reasonable for this sort of hotel. My choice was haddock fish cakes for a starter followed by lamb,both of which were delicious. The lamb was particularly tender. My dessert choice was chocolate brownie which went down very well. The wines we chose were really good a Sauvignon Blanc and a couple of bottles of Rioja. My only criticism is that two of our party including the birthday boy chose the sea bass and it was a bit light on accompaniments.Why is it that fish dishes are always so much smaller than meat. Just because you eat fish doesn’t mean that you want a little meal. Apart from that an excellent meal which we all enjoyed,good service and somewhere we will certainly go again.

Love this place a local secret always pleasant here. Good selection of ale and wines.

Harrison and hoole staff are brilliant they are all great and friendly we will missed them soo much me and dad and my other half always enjoy food and drinks is lovely it’s such a shame they are closing bad move shutting it down we are gutted 😞😥😥

Popped in for lunch with a friend…extremely welcoming waitress (red hair)…food was lovely and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend

Sadly food was awful. Took our father in law for his 60th and the food was very poor. Steak pie was like rubber, pizzas smothered in cheese like rubber as cold when served. The sea bass was served with what I can only describe as a potato hockey puck. As a table of ten we had to preorder and they brought the courses out one after the other with no time in between. Luckily it was so bad it was laughable so we had fun. Just was waiting for basil fawlty to walk in.

If allowed i would have given this place a zero. Worst place I've ever been to. Not family friendly. ..customers sticking their tongues down each other throats in front of young kids and older ppl. Person in charge/manager/owner pretty much laugh in my face when I ask him to speak to them and further told me its a public place and the customers are longterm customers. Not for people of colour as you will be treated as 2 class citizen by owner/manager or whoever is in charge. The food was very bland and cheap quality too.

I take my 20 year old Bichon Frise most days for breakfast where Siddyboy is treated like a king, the staff bend over backwards to make you and/or your fur babies very welcome. Adore the place and staff, a big thank you to everyone

Very disappointing, it was chaotic, slow and when the food eventually arrived it was not hot! It took over an hour from sitting down to the food arriving, however, Deliveroo drivers were in and out like yo-yo’s evidently taking the kitchen’s time and priority over the customers on site. The shepherds pie was pitiful, hardly any meat, and lukewarm and served with a side of cubed potatoes when the pie was mainly mash. The kids fish fingers were over cooked, dry and hard. Needless to say we won’t be returning and I doubt that several table around us will either as everyone was frustrated by the extended wait but all witnessing the endless stream of motorbike delivery guys walking in and out!

My friends and I booked a pre theatre meal here not really knowing what to expect and we can honestly say this is our new place to eat. We all had fish and chips which was absolutely delicious as well as piping hot. Desserts were varied but we all were amazed by the large portion sizes, including the ice cream. Toby ,our server was an absolute credit to the restaurant ,with his attentive service, helpfulness and friendly personality. We asked if Sangria was available and although it wasn't on the drinks list 2 jug fulls appeared at our table as they kindly made it up for us and was actually the best we've ever tasted.

The food was actually ok and fresh! The staff member can only imagine it’s the owner was unbelievably rude & unhelpful we are staying here for the weekend so we are not local - she seemed friendly to the locals! Our money is just as good as anyone else’s and some courtesy would not go a miss! HOW CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND COD & CHIPS??? Unbelievable rudeness! Avoid if your not local!
