The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

We are a group that had use of the function room today. We had such a smooth and friendly experience. The function room was well equipped and felt private, with lots of games and plenty of room for what we needed. Thank you for a great venue!

We found this pub by chance and finding that it was dog friendly we decided to stop for a light lunch. We received a very warm welcome by the relatively new landlord (2 months) who spoilt our dog with treats. The waiting staff were very attentive and friendly and there was a good choice of beers and food. We opted for a portion of breaded prawns and a portion of chips to share. We are naturally chatty people and enjoyed talking to the landlord and sharing some stories. After we had finished eating a group of 8 local farriers (well it was close to Newmarket) came in and we started chatting to them as well. What a great atmosphere and we could have stayed all afternoon but had to get to our next port of call by 4.00pm. The chef also came out to join in the conversations which added to the warm, welcoming feeling. We would thoroughly recommend a visit to this lovely pub and ensure that the new landlord has success in his new venture. We need more pubs like this one.

Always here for the quiz night with Steve… Quiz quiz quiz. Great selection of drinks just need more beers/ales for the older gents! Thanks Steve and Team!!

Dreadful food - I do not know what has happened to the Pub - empty and no atmosphere - we have been regulars for the past 5-6 years and the food has always been good. I had pie of the day which normally comes in a white metal enamel dish and all homemade filling with a lovely fluffy pastry top - last night we had a pie that looked like it had come from the local chip ship and all mushy inside, chips in a large round plate and all gravy smothered over them - my wife's ham, egg & chips was tasteless and dreadful - Very disappointing indeed and we will certainly be giving this a wide birth - Not sure what has happened, seems a lot of new faces. Perhaps the Pub has been sold!!

Me and my family came here for my birthday for Sunday dinner, the food was fantastic! Generous portion sizes, a variety of vegetables, brilliant quality and cooked perfectly. The staff were brilliant and very accommodating they made me feel special, they gave me the birthday hat and glasses to wear, a birthday card and birthday drinks. The gentleman owner was hilarious making some jokes.

Relaxed and lovely food - Izzy was great!

Decided to give the crown a try was abit sceptical after seeing the service reviews but we couldn’t fault it ! The young lady that served us was quick and efficient, food was lovely and was quick to arrive. Would deffiently come back ! Would be nice to see a gluten free burger on the menu maybe

I've not experienced the full offerings as yet but what I have deserves the rating. Anymore visits and I'm sure this rating will increase

My husband loves this pub as it’s a fullers, I love this place for the food and lovely relaxed atmosphere. The food helps as well. We bought my Father in law for Sunday dinner up in the restaurant area, he loved it so much, we have booked for Christmas Day

Bit stingy with the beans, but food is always good. Staff alwaus rushed off their feet, but service is always very good.

Great fish and chips. Efficient, no nonsense service.

Great pub, on the banks of the Cam. We can grab a bite to eat and watch the oars go by.

Visited many times and always very good ,recommended Applecart to friends who have since visited and found everything as good as I said. Thank you

I had the pie and it was delicious, then crème brûlée to finish, both my friends were extremely happy with their dirty burgers! We was served by senita and she was fantasic!

Always love a Toby Carvery! It’s great value for money and a nice spot for a meal out with friends. We had Bruce as our waiter tonight and he was so friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back!
