The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Stopped off here for a comfort break and a coffee. Excellent Americanos and scones all served promptly by friendly staff.

We recently had a meal at Judes Ferry. The food was very nice and so were the staff which would normally make this would have been a 4 star review at least. Unfortunately the front door is left open which makes it cold and the whole place needs a refurbishment inside and out. I know everything cost money but a coat of paint would make it so much better

How do you mess up a steak that badly, strange concept, they give you tablets, despite having 4 staff staring at you not saying a word, you do it all yourself and then they charge you for the service... I ordered the steak, rare, it arrived well done and tough as boots, I couldn't manage it, could be the worst steak I've ever had! Was never asked how it was, just got up and left. Really cold strange place

This was the worst Fish and chips we have had ANYWHERE! I am not sure the fish is actually cod as it had that grey/brown horrible bit you get sometimes but it's usually only a little. These bits it was thick and ran through the whole pieces ,that's what happens to Pollock when it's old we litterally couldn't eat it and just had chip "butties". To Add insult to injury 2 medium "Cod" 1 small chips, a sausage for the dog and 2 Gherkins. £ 27. 60! By the way the sausage was really poor too, pink mush. Thee gherkins almost like green paste. AVOID!! The only reason for 2 stars and not one is the Lady who served me was lovely. I wonder where she gets her Fish and chips.....

Poor management We went for a family meal to celebrate a birthday. Whilst paying for the bill, one of the members knocked their head on the low ceiling leaving them sweating, pale and very distressed. The manager was not to be seen on sight however albeit this, the two young bar staff were attentive and helpful. When the manager arrived, the lady responded saying it the low ceiling meets the health and safety requirements and there was nothing she could do about it despite claiming that the “🦆” sign indicated to mind your head whilst one of the members were sat with ice and a towel wrapped around their head in a lot of pain. Very disappointed with the way the manager dealt with the scenario and the fact that the young girls had to call a member of management to the scene suggested that no member was health or safety trained. Thankfully, he is ok however if the scenario was a lot worse we wouldn’t know what to expect has of he needed extra help.

First time in ages. Great traditional breakfast - we'll cooked and presented - in lovely setting: the park gardens on a sunny day. Two breakfasts with drinks: £19. I don't know why this place doesn't come to mind more often. Family run by same family for many years. Must go here more!

Four of us ate here in the restaurant. Starters wild mushrooms in cream/garlic on bread. Mains - gammon, braised beef, pork belly and fish and chips. Desserts apple and rhubarb crumble. The service was excellent and food hot and tasty. Excellent portions and well priced. Only one suggestion- the crumble top needed cooking/browning more. it was pale and tasted floury. Also be nice to have some background music as only a couple of tables occupied.

Just popped in for a lunchtime meal , Limited menu had beef lasagne with a side salad and garlic bread. £10.50. The lasagne had been reheated it was dry and very crisp and hard in places and not hot , basically I left most of it and told them it wasn't very nice at all. Just before I left a member of staff approached me and gave me £5 back and said she was sorry it wasn't good. So if it's not good don't serve it to customers.... Not Happy!.

Thank you Ibrahim at the service counter for taking such good care of my problem with the fish. I'm accustomed to rude service at Peterborough Waitrose. I shop there for the convenience and quality. Writing to Waitrose to complain is a waste of time really.

I stayed here for two nights this week and found it to be excellent. I stayed in one of there spacious lodges and nice shower room and the breakfast and evening meals I had was excellent the service was good as well.

We went for an early lunch and was seated and given menus quickly. Between us, we ordered an omelette, chicken sandwich, a kids meal of sausage and chips, and a bowl of chips. We waited about 45 minutes for our meal, given that there weren't many people seated, thought this was quite a long wait. When we got our meals, we were very surprised the kids meal literally had one sausage, and a few chips (I think this was about £7 or £8) The chicken sandwich was cheap bread and minimal salad garnish. The omelette was nice, although I had to share with my grandson as he was still hungry!!! Don't think this is one I would come back to.

Will never go back, food lukewarm and bland. Constantly hassled by tote girls to place bets on dogs. Dogs didn’t look happy or healthy, hardly excelling in animal welfare.

What a lovely place to visit. Great cafe, good coffee and staff. Lovely locally made cakes and a nice setting. The shop and plant area is well laid out and has local products too. First time we’ve visited, but we will be back.

A lovely place to stop off for a filling bite to eat, with a large assortment of sweet and savory dishes and snacks on the menu. Friendly staff that don't 'overdo it', whilst ensuring a relaxed and attentive service. May be more pricey when ordering for groups of people, but individually it is worth the money. The selection of food we bought was recieved positively, cooked well to order with large and ample amounts, which recieved strains of 'oohs' and 'aahs' of satisfaction, especially towards crispy, flavoursome Scampi, and vinegar-coated, chunky chips. Very pleased with service, food, and cafe layout itself. Only issue is towards prices of drinks, but that can't be helped much due to inflation. All round good experience, leaving us full until the afternoon.

Popped in for some lunch. Really really busy and cramped - tables are far too close together so people are falling into you to get past. Food ok - staff a bit disorganised and didnt get the orders quite right. Steak bake I had a bit average -- wasnt all that. Needs improvements.
