The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

The staff were helpful and friendly. I would liked to have given 5 stars but the starters took 50 minutes to arrive and the meat for the beef main was somewhat tough. The other dishes were fine. There were 6 adults and 3 small children in our party and I believe there was a large party in another part of the pub at the same time. I can only think the kitchen couldn't cope with the numbers.

Good fish & chips, or sausages, nice service , very clean

Very nice place to visit. I was very busy but seemed to manage this well

Excellent breakfast, great value, what's not to love? Update: Food was not as good as before, and it's got quite pricey

Lovely cafe just off the canal. Perfect place to stop for tea and cake whilst out on walk.

Called in to have a coffee and hot panini did have a dog no mention of not allowed in the shop until coffee brought over and told to leave!!! staff had seen me with daughter and dog at ordering and again when coffee brought to table then ?manager came over was rude and said we had to go daughter stood out in the rain with dog and manager person took the coffee away to put in takeaway cups Staff disorganised and queuing out of the door as so slow Too many staff and not working together leading to slow service poor granny in a mobility scooter left out in the rain as couldn’t get in to be served Worst coffee I have ever been served totally undrinkable Signage needs to be displayed to make owners aware that dogs are not welcomed and staff need some training about how to be respectful and courteous to customers as the manager was downright rude to us which is totally unacceptable Not a nice experience at all

Wowsa ............ Calm confidence lives here ............ If you want the best food served in a clean and professionally run cafe then stop here , leave your worries outside and enjoy the experience......... Enough words , we'll come here again .....

My first time at this fabulous place and I'm so glad I found it! The staff were amazing - a massive BIG shout out to Charlie and Jennifer for their incredible service. They were so attentive and eager to ensure I had everything I needed - even popping by during my meal to find out if everything was okay or if there was anything more they could do for me! As for the food - it definitely has the WOW! factor. I was not only impressed by the amount of delicious food served on a platter-type plate, but how incredibly tasty it was. The onion rings are to 'die for' and my side portion of mushrooms - well, let's just say I'm pretty sure I got an entire punnet of mushrooms. Well worth the visit, certainly great value for money, lovely-sized portions (I doubt anyone can leave Izzi still hungry - I struggled to finish mine without success) and above all, fantabulous service. I'm already planning my next very imminent visit!

The food is amazing, staff very friendly would highly recommend.

Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely family Sunday lunch. We were all given a friendly welcome when we arrived which continued throughout the afternoon. The food was good and was matched by the service. It’s quite easy to see why there were a lot of regulars dining there. Would definitely recommend and hope to return one day soon.

The best pub Sunday roast I’ve had in a long time. The kids enjoyed their burgers too. Cauliflower cheese was delicious.

Amazing food and service!. Please take a seat inside and enjoy the experience.

Absolutely brilliant place for bottomless brunch, our favourite in Chelmsford. The staff are amazing, can't do more to help. Food and atmosphere is great too. Highly recommend

A really comfortable and relaxing pub with excellent ale.

Just a regular cafe slightly on the higher price but good food
