The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Table table at Bowling Green is simply convenient. Sadly it lacks appeal in many respects. Their prices are reasonable but most definitely match the bland presentation and poor service. We chose to pop in as it was getting late following a hospital appointment. The service was painfully slow and may have been caused by understaffing. The meal, as mentioned was adequate, but totally lacked any presentation skill. Finally the decor and general ambience of the place remains tired and lacking in general upkeep. The decor is badly in need of TLC and the carpets are threadbare and sticky underfoot.

Verity was awesome! She’s really friendly and in no way, shape or form did she encourage us to develop a drinking problem. She’s a credit to the Lamb!

A real treat - warm greeting and service, lovely atmosphere, excellent original menu - food was delicious. Will definitely come back

The pub itself is lovely in a lovely location but WARNING stay away from the curry! If you are somebody who likes spices, this was just so bland and boring. Tasted more like a watered down tomato soup! Disgusting!

Lovely family meal made even better by our waiter Zane very patient with our children and offered advice to suit their preferences

Staff very pleasant but vegetables very under cooked, and floppy yorkshire puds Such a shame because normally very good.

We had a spontaneous trip out and stopped at the Maltsters Pub , we were hungry so decided to order the Roast Beef. Oh my God was it good, the Beef melted in the mouth and it looked as good as it tasted. Staff were friendly and did their very best to look after us while we were there. We will be coming back to try more, my waistline may not thank me though. Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos of my food as I was hungry and tucked in!

William was very accommodating and prompt with his service and he is a credit to the company and we was very greatfull that the Tarpot was accommodating late at night we entered at 8:50 and still got served well done guys

Ellie was our waitress she was great!!! Great with our son who is autistic and has adhd he was wanting her attention all the time but she took time to engage with him and spend time with him! Assest to restaurant! Thank you Ellie! And dont worry aboht forgetting my wine!!!!

One star customer service Visited this spoons and ordered the Sticky Korean Chicken with fruit coolers. The drinks came out very quickly, the waitress didn’t even say anything just put them on the table and walked off. Around 15mins later our food arrived, again plonked on the table with not a word said, one of the dishes was cold. I went upto the bar, the barmaid ignored me so I had to say “excuse me this food we have been served is cold” her response “cold is it …!” Whilst rolling her eyes, I asked if I could have an apology the waitress said “sure” in a sarcastic reluctant tone and walked off. I complained to the deputy shift manager who was very apologetic and replaced the food and offered a complimentary dish on the house. Unfortunately the experience of this delightful waitress has put us off this spoons. Not 5* expected but manners cost nothing, it’s understandable sometimes food gets cold and things happen but to be so abruptly sarcastic and rude has put me off. Other reviews very similar.

Brilliant all you can eat breakfast, unlimited coffee, Nikki was very helpful and friendly excellent service thank you

I was served by Vicki and Chloe this evening the service was amazing and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was good and the restaurant had a relaxing vibe. Sally was working the bar and she was very quick to serve me and was very polite

My friend booked a table for us, 3 adults, 2 children and 4 dogs. 4 of us had a carvery and 1 had a nut roast. Food was amazing, especially that parsnips! The staff were really helpful and accommodating. Super dog friendly, the dogs were given a bowl of water on arrival and all had a doggy roast dinner. Thank you

Brandon was so helpful and pleasant and ensured we had a good service. Thanks so much for looking after us tonight. The carvery was pretty good, although the portions of meat ‘could’ have been a bit more plentiful…. All round, a good meal, made better because Brandon was there xxx

Small wedding reception here in the stables, 18 of us (12th October 2024). From the discussions beforehand with Louise, to the day itself, everything was very well handled. The food was well presented, and superb. The staff were all very friendly and very helpful. We were really happy with the choice of venue, 10/10 :-)
