The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

This cafe has, in my opinion, all the qualities of a truly excellent cafe: delicious food, very reasonable prices, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.

Great coffee, Bakewell slice and the service is always good, with Tony the proprietor leading the way. What more do you want from a boutique cafe.

Came here for breakfast and it was delicious. Thoroughly worth a visit if you are local or if you are visiting Norfolk at any point.

Wonderful little find. Absolutely delicious cakes and then returned next day for breakfast (also amazing) and more cakes. All the staff are welcoming and friendly and personally loved the music play list. A special little place that is definitely worth a visit (maybe more than one!)

Amazing ice cream! A big bonus for us was that it was suitable for our nut-allergic son, who almost never gets this sort of ice cream treat. The lady was very knowledgeable about her ingredients as it’s homemade, and made sure she got a fresh scoop for him too. He declared it the best ice cream ever! The coffee was also delicious, piping hot & served in beautiful eco-friendly cups with different designs. Highly recommend and not just for the summer, the hot chocolate looked amazing too and there was a lovely selection of gifts in the shop.

Great food and great people, very friendly. Service was great and quick. Couldn't have asked for better. Really enjoyed our Sunday Carvery and will definitely be returning. Thanks again.

This is the 4th time we have dined at Meadowsweet since it opened in 2020. We have loved every visit and we agree with other reviewers that it is getting better and better. From start to finish the experience is outstanding. A relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, impeccable friendly service, beautiful and delicious food with courses that change regularly - yesterday there were two courses that were new this week, including the most incredible trio of strawberry dessert - and a good wine list that covers a range of prices (i.e. not all super pricey). It seems clear that this is run by people who are at the top of their game and love what they do, and that makes it easy to love it too. I had a smile on my face all evening! I am coeliac and felt catered for just as well as my non-coeliac husband. Their home made bread, both normal and gluten free, is some of the best bread we have ever eaten! It’s a 2hr journey for us so we always do their dine and stay option - rooms are comfy and well appointed with nice touches of luxury, and we feel it’s well worth it for an amazing night away. This is in my top 2 Michelin star restaurants in the UK: I cannot recommend it enough.

Such a lovely place with excellent food at a very reasonable price. Its not fancy but the food is fancy. A really gem and a real family feel to the place. Popped in for lunch and had gorgeous fresh pasta. Service excellent. Food excellent. We've been before and had pizza that was excellent. We will be back.

The best cafe in King's Lynn by far. You get proper English tea and the coffee is good. All cakes are freshly baked on site, and you get genuine, traditional English service. There is free parking for an hour and it's near the river in the interesting part of Lynn. Support this local family business. There are so few of them left. I recommend it as I have been going here for years and am always impressed with it.

The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The staff were so kind when our daughter dropped her hot chocolate - they gave us another one for free and made sure it was cool enough for her to drink. Thank you. We loved the outdoor seating area. So cosy.

Cannot praise the staff more highly. We took a Special needs and Disabilities group of 25 people on the afternoon of the 15th December for a Christmas meal. The food was excellent, Staff friendly and very pleasant, together with the Service. They accommodated at the last moment, after we had been let down by a large Pub chain, but were excellent. Highly recommend and worth a visit. On behalf of Sunday Club

Returning to Pinecones camping for the second time. First time using Norfolk Nibbles and the food is amazing. Simple delicious food perfect for camping. Highly recommend the loaded chips and the Sunday breakfast.

This is a really nice place to sit and have breakfast and is situated next to a great farm shop which has a lot of local produce

A surprise 21st birthday present from my partner! Such a lovely afternoon, good atmosphere, lovey food & friendly staff! Thank you!

A very well kept real ale, Beeston Brewery Worth the Wait. The owners pride themselves in quality drink and food products and they don’t disappoint! Rooms available to and although not stayed in them I have no doubt the quality spills into their letting rooms as well.
