The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

We have never had food, but the service is always friendly and has a nice atmosphere.

Cannot thank Simon and his team enough for an 80th birthday party. It was really well organized and the food was brilliant.

This is my favourite chippy in leigh on sea. I have been to quite a few chip shop in leigh but unfortunately there not as good as this one. I'm disabled & Have trouble getting around. When I turn up here the staff see me & They go out of there way to help me get in the shop by open the door & Thank they always have a smile on their faces & are always happy to see me. The food is fresh the chips ant fall of starch you can get small, medium, large chips where ever where else I have gone you can on get 2 sizes in chips. The fish they cook here I'd absolutely delicious it's really fresh & not got to much batter on it. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Which I have because as I said I have been to at least ten chippy's where I live & This grate little chippy is a real gem. Ps we Can spend all day with permanent smiles on our faces as we all have other problems going on in our lives outside of work. We all have a bad day and sometimes. I will always go here to get my chippy dinner as its the best one around here I have been too.

Cosy pub, nice atmosphere and good space.

Beyond amazing service from the owner and her staff, beer was cold, dinner delicious and desert fantastic. Come by, you won’t regret it.

Great guys always serve with some banter 👌

It was about to closed when we reached hence, still brilliant service

Ordered here for years and spent hundreds of pounds. Sat down for a family dinner. Rather small salad, aveeage meat and no chips and then they take over 1 hour to replace. Terrible service

Popped in on the off-chance of getting a gluten free meal. After checking we got a table with a menu with quite a few gf options annotated on the menu. Had battered prawns with a cajun dip which the wife enjoyed. I had the chicken skewer not gf but very nice. Staff very friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced and close to where we were staying.

Had family Sunday lunch here today, was absolutely superb! Pre ordered a special fish dish, whole baked on the bone brill - finest fish dish we ever had! Sunday roast that our son said was the best chicken he has ever had, and a fantastic venison pie. Service was very attentive and friendly, and a great wine menu. 5* Plus!!!!

We have visited the Crown and Thistle a number of times and always enjoyed it. Last night it really exceptional: all 5 of us chose different dishes and they were all absolutely delicious. We shared green beans, also fantasticly cooked to perfection. The service was superb and friendly. We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

I haven’t been to this cafe in years and as it’s so close by I thought I would go again. They have no vegan breakfast options which is fine so I decided to chose the veggie option and swap the halloumi and egg for vegan sausages which I had to pay extra for which made no sense. however I only received one which was disappointing, not just that but also they were refurnishing whilst customers were sitting in the cafe which is a-bit annoying.

Wow, what a tasty Pizza.. also very welcoming and friendly staff. Must try.

Had an average meal and got completely robbed. Went with a group of three and we all got £100 parking charge on our cars. Went at night when the signs were not marked properly and no staff mentioned the parking on entry. Ultimately this company got the bill paid plus an extra £100 per head on parking fees. I am happy to amend this review if they can make it right. If your reading this now you can assume the above never happened. Be careful of this place as you could leave like me.... Feeling scammed

We came for a late lunch as we were in the area. The entrance area is welcoming and looks inviting. It was Halloween and there were fun pumpkins and flowers on the outside tables and later lanterns were lit. The bar area is cosy and warm,’gently’ lit and charming. This hotel has a really nice feel to it. We instantly felt comfortable and relaxed and the lovely young staff were on point at the start. I asked for a condiment and it didn’t come so had to ask again and for one or two other things. All staff are willing but it became a little bit disjointed and incoherent. I didn’t see anyone keeping them focussed and this could be slightly better. Our food was excellent. We loved it all and the wines are also good. All in all very nice experience and we are looking forward to coming back.
