The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

We visiting as a couple for a lovely evening meal. My partners arrived cold and they kindly sorted and took away and replaced with a warm meal. Not sure if this was rewarmed or cooked fresh however satisfied and tasted great. However a few hours after returning back home my partner experienced diarrhoea and was up throughout the night with it. I can see that some people have experienced cold food before. Obviously we can’t prove it was the meal that upset his stomach however it seems to stem to it after only having toast all day only and not having any good intolerances. We just hope this wasn’t a revenge food rewarm off the restaurant.

Great pub, good food. 4 friends ate here after golf. I had an excellent burger with bacon and cheese, one of my friends had the steak. Both were cooked really well and were very tasty. Can’t remember what the other 2 had but i know they loved it. Great service, the young lad that waited on us was friendly and efficient. The owner/boss was doing a sterling job operating as chef. Lots of beers, 3 real ales on draught to choose from. The wainwrights bitter was delicious. Price wise, typical pub prices, no problem there. Thanks very much to Sally and her team for looking after us so well.

We were served by Ismail - who absolutely so wonderful to us all. Very kind, diligent and service with a big smile. We cannot thank him enough

Been here many times over the years and it consistently been a nice experience the menu is great + specials . And the staff and service has always been good. Never had a bad experience .. Great food and service and sensible pricing.

A warm, friendly welcome to our family group which included two young children and our dog. The service was not only friendly, but excellent! The food was superb and have no hesitation recommending this as a friendly, relaxed place to meet, eat and drink! We hope it will not be too long before we can visit again! Thank you!

Drink were splended. Food was amazing. Got the katsu curry but really good. Indea and Hannah were perfect hosts and gave us great service. 10 out of 10 recomend

I love this store, the staff are friendly, and so helpful, in what l need in the store. I love the home wear and clothes. And the meat is very good too. I don't live in clacton, but when there l always make a bee line to asda, and take thing home with me, for my flat

What a great friendly pub we were met with a warm welcome. Food great. The best nut roast i have ever had. My husband enjoyed his food which was Crayfish and Prawn chowder. The pub was spotless and they are very dog friendly providing a dog menu if you want one. Looking forward to going back.

This has been our local for 10 years. We’ve seen a few changes during that time and have always supported it. Unfortunately it seems to have turned into a sports bar. I can understand this for the Euros and Olympics. However, last night there were 3 large TVs blaring with Sky Sports. The locals don’t want this. We’ll be finding a new local that cares about what their local customers want.

First visit, won’t be our last, friendly and welcoming staff, nice and comfy table for 2 at end of bar, great atmosphere & ambience. Started with pork & game terrain & king prawns bruschetta both were very well presented and enjoyable, we followed this with lambs liver, garlic mash, carrots & I had to have some hand cut chips, BBQ brisket of beef gyro, and even managed a to devour a poached pear dessert, coffee mouse c/w hazelnut brittle. Everything was just right, a very tasty from both of us.l

A group of friends and ourselves met here for lunch, although trying to park the car was a nightmare, avoid Friday lunchtime! A selection of meals from sandwiches, lovely carved ham, prawn cocktails both said nice, a lovely looking prawn, smoked salmon, avocado salad, I was told was lovely and I opted for the skate middle, which was small but nice. As always the pub was busy, with efficient service and we all had a good time

Good service for our table of 8. All food came out at same time which was good. 4 gammon, 1 King Prawn & Chorizo Risotto, 1 Lasgne, 2 Pea, Mint & Courgette Risotto. Desserts were good although I felt my apple and blackberry crumble could have been hotter. Quite varied menu with realistic pricing. It won’t break the bank.

Lovely food & drink, at really good prices. Only went in as we saw they sold Gluten free bread, but stayed & had lunch. Glad we did.

Had a pleasant meal on a saturday evening - each of us had a different main course and all said it was excellent. Good service. Now we have to go back and try what the others had chosen!

Visited the Secret Thai Garden in Coach and Horses, recommended by friends. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and very reasonably priced. The waiter who served us was lovely . He even walked us to the car with an umbrella because of the heavy rain. Unfortunately it is closing end of November but there is another Secret Thai Garden in Potters Bar which we intend to visit. I can recommend the Green Curry and my friend loves the duck in pancakes
