The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

We visited today for lunch and had the worst experience ever in a restaurant. We ordered a sharing loaded chips which was on the menu as loaded chunky chips with sausage bacon and cheese. At £14.50 we expected a decent sized plate with probably a x2 sausages and x2 bacon chopped up with loads of melted cheese. What we received was a plate of chips with about 1/2 sausage finely chopped , a few tiny bits of bacon and a thin layer of cheese. It was about enough for 1 person and worth about £6. Without touching it I took back to bar and the manager came out who was the rudest and most confrontational person with absolutely no people skills. Would not recognise my complaint, said I’ve got what I ordered didn’t want to do anything to resolve the issue. Didn’t offer to add any extra food, didn’t apologise, didn’t offer a refund or an alternative. I was so angry I told him to keep his money and keep his food. Never been so angry. If you’re thinking of going here, don’t!!!

Lovely service excellent veggie food

Nice cozy pub. Really surprised at the quality of the food though, especially the Angus burger. Its quality is way above pub food and is closer to high quality burger joints quite alike to Honest Burgers. If you are in the area, you have to stop by and try it.

No real ales in a greene king pub! Ridiculous! Not even any bottled ale?

Wife had the granola and I had an Oakhouse breakfast. Both were fine, but my poached egg was very overdone. We'll still be back though. It was quite noisy in there too, as there was a table of 8 behind us of a couple of families and their very noisy young kids, complete with a tablet playing a loud kids TV show. Which was nice.

Had a drink late afternoon, did not have food as it wasn't available until 6pm

Male member of staff think named Lee was rude and looked under influence of something as he stared into thin air. Pitty as the pub is nice just some staff ruin the atmosphere. Been a couple times and if I see this staff member again I’ll walk out before even ordering if I return.

This place has really gone downhill this year. We visited on a weekday lunchtime, and it was virtually empty. The barman clearly did not want to be there and barely acknowledged us. I asked for a burger minus coleslaw, and it arrived covered in it. My burger also had tiny bits of bone in it. My friends' scampi and chips was OK but I guess that you can't really go wrong with that. On approaching the bar to order a dessert, the barman turned his back and chose to make a call on his mobile instead. After waiting a few minutes, we decided to go to the nearby Wetherspoons instead, which was absolutely rammed and doing a roaring trade. Incidentally, don't offer a burger and a pint deal if the advertised lagers aren't available!

Food cooked fresh , staff friendly and establishment clean

Really friendly service, good food and selection of drinks.

I visited this fish and chips shop on Sunday, I am amazed by the taste of the food and the freshness and the big size portions. Also the friendly staff. Highly recommend

New ownership has rapidly improved the service and atmosphere. No food yet, but crisps are lovely

Fantastic overnight stay.. the Buckingham suite ticked all the boxes. Lauren and Rowland made me feel very much at home.. the bar has a great atmosphere which matched my fish and chips.. glorious locally made ice cream .. definitely recommend a visit.

Great Drinkers Pub, with great Live Music

We had an amazing Sunday roast today at the Dog and Duck, 1 beef and 1 pork. Huge portions, loads of veg, and a great cauliflower cheese thrown in as a bonus, the roast potatoes were spot on too, always a good measure on a roast dinner out! Food and plates were piping hot, bonus points for that too service was great, lovely girls, and a really nice chilled atmosphere. We shared a chocolate fudge cake desert, which was to die for, definitely food coma inducing. The best roast I've had out in a long time, well done ✔️
