The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

A thoroughly enjoyable Sunday roast in a wonderful village location for myself and my wife. A very warm welcome was given and although they were very busy we were given thoughtful consideration throughout. We will be back!

Lovely Sunday lunch! Large portion! Excellent quality! Delicious desserts! Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Just under £32 for one cup of tea and two Welsh rarebit, which was one slice of half burnt half undercooked bread, tasteless cheese and a just ok accompanying salad each, in my view constitutes pretty poor value for money, would not go again tbh.

Had lunch here today. What fantastic food. I had Sea Bass and it was so good. I would definitely order this same dish again. We were also served the battered haddock and that was just as good. Lovely crispy batter and so fresh. Great food and the best service. Staff were very friendly and helpful despite being busy. What a place, hope to be going back soon.

Must admit the visit didn’t start well. The car park is scruffy with bins, rubbish and sundry old equipment piled up and it doesn’t create a good first impression. Inside the welcome was warm and friendly but the chairs at the table we were shown to were scruffy and very stained. My first beer (London Pride) was sour, probably the end of the barrel, but was changed when I pointed it out and The Scarecrow much better. Not good so far. However, the staff were great and the food very good. Fish and chips was plentiful and beautifully cooked. The Hoisin Belly Pork something different and really tasty. Overall we all enjoyed our visit and would go again.

One of my new fave places to stop for lunch. Amazing service from Jay as always 👏

Amazing fish and chips! Good price! Amazing service! They really are the cod fathers

Well what a strange place .You enter through a live amusement acrade. When you finally arrive you see this massive area with no atmosphere although the windows face the sea .We ordered the standard Sunday lunch which they mixed up the orders .Nothing worse than eating out of sequence with other diners . My fish and chips had no taste as the fish was frozen . It was empty and they still mixed up the service. The guy playing his guitar could play but as the place was empty we found ourselves shouting at each other. All in all we will never return to this restaurant.

Pretty nice place to go to on a weekend morning. My friends and I enjoyed browsing through the records in the basement, not bad coffee

Had the best Sunday roast we have had for years. What a lovely friendly pub. Even our dog was welcome in the bar area.

Sophie was amazing! So friendly and helpful. The food and atmosphere were great. All the staff there were really good. Would definitely go again.

Ate there a couple days ago. Food was edible, nothing out of this world, atmosphere was OK, also, nothing eye-catching or particularly interesting Quite expensive. I was served by a lovely American redhead girl. So that is why I gave a five star review for service, she was absolutely wonderful.

Great meal had here on Saturday 😁 food was delicious 😋 We felt a little rushed though 🫤 our main course came when we were still eating our first course and was asked about dessert very quickly after finishing our mains🥴

A lovely lunch at The Fox. After a walk round the newbourn springs nature reserve. We shared two starters, bao buns and nachos, banana fritters desert and it was plenty. Very tasty and quick. Excellent staff always attentive. A little bit warmer and we would have sat outside which we have done in the summer. Recommend unreservedly.

A great friendly atmosphere with great beer and excellent food. Fish and chips were incredible. A proper proper pub!!! Beautiful surroundings.
