The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Terrible service…. Took 30 mins to get a drink, Couldn’t give a clear price on the wine, or even a drinks menu…. The best bit was when the food was delayed because they ran out of bread they said if we can wait 15minutes they will run to the shops and get some ….. the shops! Customer service….. the simplest things in life are the hardest eh. Never again.

We were looking for somewhere to eat lunch at the end of our week off work and wanted to give the car a run. Googled pubs near halesworth and this appeared. Looked online at the menu choice/pricing and decided to try it. We certainly were not disappointed. Welcoming from the moment we stepped inside and clean too. Decor fitted well with the age of property. Menu/drinks choice extensive and a good choice of vegetarian and vegan options too. Meal hot, well prepared and portion size excellent. Would definitely go back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Was here Saturday 5th October great food and staff the place is clean. And at a very good price I will be back .

Had a great Saturday lunch at just £9.99 for two courses and the food was absolutely delicious. The place is charming and quaint and the young man serving was friendly and welcoming whilst being knowledgeable about the food and drink menu.

Proper tasty home cooked food. Eaten here 3 times during our weeks stay in the area. The downside is the road from Debenham to Cretingham - it’s very narrow but nowt Yorkshire folk can’t handle. Although my hubby was a bit disgruntled that you only served Roast Pork as a roast on a Sunday lunch and no Yorkshire Puds - he’s a Beef and Yorkshire Pud chap!! the food has been exceptionally tasty and the staff amazingly friendly. Highly recommend a visit

We went for a Sunday lunch as a party of 14 the staff food and service was excellent, we pre booked the vegetarian option for one of our guests who throughly enjoyed the nut roast, nothing was any trouble.

Just the best chicken, ham and mushroom home made pie from the ‘Specials’ menu tonight that I’ve ever had and I’m really old! Thank you David and Fiona for rescuing ‘The Robin’ and reopening it as a Free House. It’s lovely to have such a beautiful building updated and up and running again. You’re doing a great job with Alex and the team, see you again soon!

Absolutely faultless lunch! Lovely pub by the train station and broads. Came here for lunch as we are interested in the local area. Great atmosphere as you walk in, locals with dogs at the bar with sky sports and a pool table, then restaurant behind. My pie was lovely with lots of steak pieces, my other half had the burger and it was honestly one of the best burgers he has ever had. Both very tasty and good quality ingredients. Prices were reasonable and all the staff were really welcoming and friendly. Minor details are that I could have had more gravy and my partner wished he had more of a side such as coleslaw or a small salad with the burger, but it didn't put us off. I highly recommend this place and hopefully we will be back!

Good experience as usual. Shame about the large price increase for Pizzas and still no option of Brown or Wholemeal Bread

We have visited the Peacock a number of times over the last year and have never been disappointed. We visited on a Saturday lunchtime with family and as usual got a lovely welcome from Jack and the team. I had the mackerel, followed by a superb risotto, my husband had the quail then the Halibut. We then shared the delightful petit fours, a nice alternative to a traditional dessert. All the food was beautifully presented and incredibly tasty, I would not be surprised if the Michelin people show an interest soon as the restaurant does deserve recognition.

Excellent food! Huge portions great staff!

The Crown used to be such a friendly fun place to go. But since the new so called manager took over its anything but friendly. Please can we get Ness and Josh back, or at least someone who cares about pubs and the people who use them.

Found this superb pub hidden in Redbourn and had a Sunday roast. The food is amazing and so well cooked. Friendly staff and a really lovely atmosphere with an open fire and great beer on offer. As far as a traditional Sunday roast, you won’t find better and we will definitely be heading back. We wish we had found this sooner.

Nine of us went in there on Saturday 22nd June for lunch and we weren't disappointed would highly recommend going in there Donna and her staff were very friendly and very helpful. I hadn't been in there for 30yrs but as we were up that way we had to try it. It's, changed a lot but for the best. Thankyou Donna for the photo shoot 😁😁 ☺️

Nice pint of inches cider And a Sunday roast wrap very unusual but very tasty
