The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Great food good atmosphere friendly staff

What a lovely manager. It was close to shutting as I pulled in to sort out my baby from crying on my way home to Essex. The manager even though closed invited me and my baby in so I could feed him and offered me tea. Thanks to her I had a happy baby who slept the rest of the hour journey home. That kindness I will never forget and now we plan to go in every time we make the journey now to see the parents. 10000/10

It's our fav place for beer and pool 🎱..

We were invited to try this pub, and we were not disappointed. Service was in good time and friendly, we didn't feel like we were left waiting but felt like we had enough time to choose what we wanted without feeling rushed. The food we had was very tasty, my wife having the Porchetta and I had the fish and chips, both were very tasty. I gave in to temptation and l had the Apple crumble, this was a lot larger than we had expected. No wonder the waiter brought two spoons! My only critique is that it could have done with more than one small scoop of ice cream. I'm sure if I would have asked I could have had another as it didn't last the crumble. But it didn't ruin a loverly meal and experience. The manager even recommended a trip across the road to the antique store, where my wife managed to find a much searched for Umbrella stand, so thank you for that too.

Always been a great friendly cafe. Good food and service. I cannot believe the price hike! Got there 1230pmmet a friend. Few people about. We shared a sandwich and chips.as the prices are completely overpriced. A bowel.of soup and bread £8! No wonder at 150pm, the place was empty....

This is great traditional pub. Foods excellent and we're always made to feel welcome even with our scooters.

Another great meal at the Cock. Service was great and even though the pub was busy, it wasn’t too noisy in the restaurant.

Last stop before the Ferry! Fresh fish and chips !

Amazing service from Michelle at the Cuckoo , always very friendly and excellent service.

We had a fantastic birthday lunch for my Mum. Staff members Poppy, Nicole, Carolyn and Abbie were very helpful and attentive, which made the visit very enjoyable! I had the signature burger with a side of halloumi fries; both were fantastic. My mum had the steak pie, which you can’t go wrong with, as it comes with a good portion of veg. My dad had the toad in the whole which was from the specials; it does lack veg, however he said it was great. For dessert, we had a sticky toffee pudding and a trio of dessert which we shared among us. They also made a board with a small bit of brownie that said Happy birthday on. Like i have said, the service was great and so was the food!!

The Ship Inn is absolutely ideal for a few days away with the long beach for great dog walks, really good comfortable rooms, great bar and restaurant and, above all, excellent friendly service.

Love the woodman but disappointed I can never have a hot drink as they don’t have non dairy milk. I was offered semi-skimmed! Not great if you’re lactose intolerant.

I had a lovely time at the harvester ,the service was lovely ,vikki was a lovely lady deserves a raise !!!

I Was asked for ID by the bartender, which of course isn’t a problem. I showed my Italian Driving license as ID, and, after several minutes of him going around asking all of his colleagues and manager, my ID was rejected without any valid reason. Never stepping foot again in a pub that only recognizes British IDs.

Lovely pub, sympathetic server and a great service right next to the riverside. Will come again!
