The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Great service good amount of food for price

Back again after a year away, but when we go to Gorleston, the first stop is the Dock Tavern. Always a warm welcome. Always good ale. When food is available, (only certain days of the week) always good and very reasonably priced. The bar staff are fantastic. A real community pub - unfortunately a dying breed. Keep up the good work.

Service was really attentive and polite, Food was delicious and fast to arrive. Wanted something slightly different to the menu and was no problem at all, really good value for money food was delicious and inexpensive ! Never been before but would 100% recomend little hidden gem!

Needed sustenance before a beer festival. Did the job perfectly and at a very reasonable price. Was quiet when we there but looked like it was getting busy for lunchtime.

popped in for a pint and loved it. propper nice old pub. great atmosphere.

Very nice place with exceptional food and service

A great cafe with a pleasant atmosphere. I had a lovely roast dinner, which was served to me promptly and piping hot. A good size portion and very delicious. The cafe is very clean and well presented. I am very happy to recommend this cafe.

Only place in Bedfordshire worth going to watch live sport. I live in Bedford and travel over every weekend to watch the football in the engine - that's how good it is.

As an old member I was taken aback to find that so much of the building has been turned over to a restaurant. With the main building closed for a private event (with no warning on their website), there was nowhere for members to go outside of the restaurant. Very disappointing.

Delicious food and lovely staff :)

It's wonderfull place speacily from Turkey people. Also, if you interest traditional Turkish breakfast and food, you must be can visit this place. Everything is perfect. I love it.

Me, the missus and the kids normally come here regularly.

I can't recommend enough. Fish was fab, chips lovely and fresh, staff amazing. Stayed in Southend as attending a concert at the Cliffs Pavilion the next day. Had a long drive with my mum who has dementia and her carer. Original restaurant I had earmarked was busy, so asked a local friend for a chippy we could sit in and she mentioned the perfect plaice.. and it was. The manager couldn't have been any more friendly, kind and helpful, considering it was very busy as it was early on a Friday evening. My mum thoroughly enjoyed everything which is rare and the cup of tea she had was perfect and she is a tea expert having drunk oodles of it in her 88 years. Thank you again for making this part of our trip very easy.

Food is so fresh and amazing im 9rs old and i was going to get my lunch there so friendly 😃 I highly recommend

We had to return as we had such a good experience on our first visit and it was equally fantastic this time. You don't go many places where the food actually makes you smile as it tastes so good! We had the full Tasting menu and Vegetarian tasting menu and loved every minute of it. The salt cod beignet and the venison loin especially stood out for me and my wife loved the Puy lentil & mushroom cottage pie. Service was relaxed and efficient with perfect gaps between the courses and our wine complemented the food perfectly. Cocktails were great too! If you want excellent food and drink with a great and relaxing atmosphere you can't beat Boston House Norwich.
