The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Lovely lunch! Served food by a new young lad who was very polite and was doing an overall great job around the restaurant. Warm and cosy atmosphere. We love coming here and will continue

Nous sommes venus de France pour un séjour dans la famille qui habite à Canvey. Nous avons décidés de venir déjeuner au Lobster Smack et avons été très bien reçus, le personnel est très aimable. Les plats étaient copieux et bons, et le Fish and chips était délicieux. Merci pour votre accueil

Wonderful visit to this lovely pub. Super friendly staff, good food and drink at reasonable prices, plus all the fun of bingo. Great place - well worth a visit.

The drive was nice with view of the country roads. On arrival rooms are very basic not much to view apart from the Pods and fields. Unfortunately, there are no facilities at the hotel e.g. spa, gym, etc just a bar with small sitting area that closes at 12am. As your in the middle of no where you literally spend time in the room & go dinner then back to room😮‍💨 The hotel doesn't offer any other food e.g. Breakfast apart from the dinner which you pay for in the stay which is also overpriced. Personally, Food & drinks overated it needs to be reviewed as you can get a better variety of quality food in other places especially local vendors on your high street. The building itself is historically beautiful for private hire as you can utilize the grounds but waste of money for travel, dine & stay. You can better value & quality in Holiday Inn! Recommend to visit Pods in London instead more to do for a day & night trip.

Here for 1 night while working in the area.. friendly staff good food and comfortable rooms.

Jasper and Adam were absolutely fantastic, great staff members, very kind and accommodatingx

Me & my partner both looking forward to dinner after a lovely day, we randomly popped in to the anchor my partner ordered from the menu i ordered from the specials oh dear it wasn’t very special swordfish and noodles The fish was like a frisbee and bland it looked like fish bait the noodles tasted gooey over cooked and soggy more like sharwoods out of a pack not to mention the bottled sweet chilli sauce I did mention this to the 1st waitress who wasn’t understanding but did get offered a free pudding ps once I complained this dish was taken off the specials The only consolation was the very polite waitress who took the payment and was very understanding I left very hungry and was charged for a zero Standard meal I must add I’m a trained cook and would never of served this dish poor poor poor

I would just like to thank all the staff at the Crystal Palace pub for the fantastic service we got throughout the day for our daughter’s 30th birthday party. We had so many comments from all our guests about how good the food was and what a great a venue you have. Thanks again

We called in after a late drive from the North to King Lynn. Luckily, we made the kitchen by about half an hour. We ordered two mains, a local gin and two great local beers. Everything was very good and we throughly enjoyed the food.

Friendly staff, nice ambiance, substandard food: Saturday evening meal in a half-full but attractive Orford pub and all going well until the two plates we ordered were disappointedly basic for the price paid. A bland and poorly conceived vegetation dish, and a very basic fish meal. Neither were terrible but we both felt that they did not deserve the price paid. We expected something fancier and more refined. Not a reason to avoid this place and we aim to return but it is a reason for the manager to review these two menu items. Constructive feedback was given by us so others may enjoy the experience a little more.

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a good time. Breakfast was good and the personal Reece and Mel made it extra special with their kindes and service.

This pub has come a long way. It's a traditional pub which does some food but it is not the modern-day theme pub that is ‘dressed up to the nines’ and tries to be everything to everyone. A good selection of beers at reasonable prices and personable staff all helps. The atmosphere is positive and traditional and the two lads who run the pub work hard to keep it clean. The downside is not being able to take your dog into the pub now the autumn has arrived and the chain has stopped selling peanuts, a good seller I understand. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely amazing place. While food is not on the cheap end, the prices are really low of the amazing quality of the food. The staff are really friendly as well. 10/10 would go here.

On a recent trip on the Norfolk Broads, we happened upon The Dog and had some lunch. Nice welcome and really good food! The Dog Menu was a particularly nice touch, bought some treats for the pooch, which she loved. The food was so good that on our last day, on the way back to the boatyard, we did a little detour and returned for another meal. Highly recommend, will definitely return! Thank you.

We stayed a night here as it wasn't far from a wedding we were working at. The accommodation was warm, clean, quiet and beds comfy. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was tasty and excellent value. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
