The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

This place is hard to find, postcode does not match the actual location. More signs needed to find the place. The property is very tired and dated. Sandwiches were very tasty and fully loaded.

Esta fue nuestra segunda visita, la primera fue hace un par de meses y lamentablemente esta experiencia en particular fue memorable, pero por las razones equivocadas. Realmente necesitan abordar la forma en que se sirve la comida y el punto de pago , nos sirvieron comida caliente pero en platos fríos , después de esto tuvimos que hacer cola para pagar sin embargo solo había un miembro del personal en la caja que también estaba teniendo que ocuparse de los pedidos de té y café. Debido a esto tomó mucho más tiempo de lo que debería haber y como tal para cuando nos sirvieron nos sentamos a comer comida casi fría que arruinó la experiencia, ya que la comida en sí era muy buena. ¿No sería más enfocado al cliente y eficiente tener 2 miembros del personal en el punto de pago , uno para servir el té / café y otro para tomar los pagos . Lo anterior ciertamente ha alterado nuestra opinión y, como tal, este lugar no estará en nuestra lista para futuras visitas o recomendaciones cuando se le pregunte, lo que es una gran lástima para algo que podría rectificarse fácilmente.

Michelle and her team are great hostess’ they made me feel very welcome. Atmosphere is great made even better by the locals who are great fun! Accommodation is clean and fresh. I would definitely recommend a visit and a stop over. I will be back

The place is a shambles. We have been there a few times and it just gets worse. Walked in and the bar was stacked with dirty glasses, stood there for over 15 mins at an unmanned bar, and was completely ignored as the owners were both in the kitchen. Surely a basic requirement of a pub is to have someone serving?? The landlady saw us waiting to be served and didn't even acknowledge our presence. It only would have taken a 'be there in a minute' to make it so much better. I understand they were busy ( why not employ a waitress??), but ignoring customers really does not inspire you to spend money there! Got chatting to one of the regulars who said its often like this but won't complain! We left and went to The Bird in Hand where the staff were friendly, and the bar was manned. Needless to say...we won't be going back to the "Jolly" Farmers. Avoid at all cost!

We have eaten here a number of times over the past years. All four of us felt the food quality has deteriorated. My first course of pork belly was overcooked and far too salty. I could not finish it. My main course of Tandoori Chicken on flat bread was nothing like I expected - tough chicken - over seasoned/salty yet not tasting of curry- the flat bread difficult to cut snd with no flavour. My wife’s chicken wings tasted weird and neither of us finished our meals. The waitress took our opinions to the kitchen and was helpful. The response was that the food was fresh - that wasn’t the problem. Four of us had eight seven dishes between us none of them of restaurant quality

6 of us dropped in for a drink after the cinema at 22.05 today . Totally deserted except for one customer at the bar. Waited over 5 minutes before the customer offered to find the bar staff. Empty glasses on bar and tables so obviously work to do but no staff. Young lady eventually appeared and promptly said we've finished serving. No apology. I am amazed bars can afford to turn away 6 customers let alone without an apology. Also strange on 2nd July to read Christmas menus displayed around the walls. No idea if these are very early for this year or left up from last year? I've worked in hospitality much of my life and the golden rule is 'never turn away a paying customer' Unfortunately a no stars review wasn't an option. Very disappointing.

We had been let down by the eateries at Banham Zoo and decide to pop in Trawlers Catch and are so glad we did. They offer a variety of other foods not just fish and chips. The guys that served as were very pleasant. We had a large haddock, small battered sausage and a large portion of chips to share. It was all cooked fresh and when it came to serving it up we were asked if we were sharing the chips and the gentleman kindly split them for us. The chips were lovely and the batter nice and light not greasy like some. Enjoyed the food immensely and the cost was reasonable too.

I had cod and chips curry sauce it was £13.10. The fish was terrible. I took the batter off the top of the fish and there wasn’t hardly any fish inside and the bottom of the batter was like rock cake. I will never ever go there again and I have pictures to prove it I reckon in six months Debbie shot, because people won’t stand or pay that sort of money for rubbish meal

Recently refurbished with many improvements to interior bars, good service and a pub that supports and promotes local musicians providing good entertainment most nights and weekends. Publican Gary strict on good behaviour so a nice place to take family and friends to enjoy a friendly atmosphere.

This is the best restaurant in the area- by a lot. We ate here 3 nights running after high tailing it out off the Rose & Crown and finding the Old Bank closed for a private function. The menu was different each night with plentiful fish specials. Elevated cuisine beautifully presented, if somewhat small portions. We thought it reasonably priced. The cheese course is not to be missed! Great staff & pretty room only add to the experience. Lots of healthy options…yummy warm gluten free bread, even a delicious gluten free berry crumble for dessert with diary free coconut ice cream! We tried almost the entire menu & never had a bite we didn’t enjoy.

Love this pub, its in a great location for Salhouse Broad and long walks There is ample parking, a big outside area to eat and drink too As vegan, we struggled to find much choice... I ended up with soup and chips. Not my ideal choice but the chunky chips were amazing it has to be said. Such a lovely atmosphere inside for just a drink or indeed food. Also the bonus is the brewery and shop with many beers available...

Had a very pleasant lunch here, good burger & tikka masala & an especially tasty Italian chicken, a friendly welcome to a nice & cosy Old English feeling place & the best thing of all is the view, we were lucky it was clear but I'd bet on a sunny summers day it's even better. We visited again just for drinks & sat outside which was great. The Old Barns shops across the road are well worth a look too. Happy to recommend

We booked a meal for a family of 6 and So disappointed with the kids menu, we ordered chicken nuggets meal for our granddaughter as she doesn't like the carvery we were expecting chips and beans with the nuggets. We were shocked to be served 4 chicken nuggets and veggie sticks for £5.99! Certainly not worth the money. That's a snack not a meal. No chips nothing else, when I asked Toby staff where's the chips they said we don't do chips. The carvery was awful, meat was chewy and veg hard. A Macdonald's meal would of been more satisfying. I won't be returning

Rude ignorant staff. Waited for someone already being served. Then the person totally ignored me and served someone that came in after me! Avoid at all costs

The staff were completely miserable. The food was bland and salad slopped over the plate. Will not recommend or be returning
