The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

We had a lively Sunday lunch today at the White Horse. Great atmosphere. The roast beef was excellent and would definitely come again if we were in the area.

Came in for a few drinks after work and ended up having some food, ordered the sausage and mash which for 7.50 was phenomenal value. The staff were very polite and checked up on me multiple times throughout the meal. Would highly recommend not sure there's many places better in the area for the value. 10/10

The Decor has a RAF theme that looks good and is executed with knick-knacks and memorabilia placed favourably around the public area. The area is closely associated with the Royal Air Force bases of West Raynham and RAF Sculthorpe. The Aviator is situated in the small village of Sculthorpe just off of the A148 road from Kings Lynn heading out to the Norfolk Coast. Our friends had invited my wife and me to a midday dinner and we were all pleased by the attentiveness from the young man servicing us. We did not all have a starter, my wife and I did. The salted squid was good and very much mimicked other restaurant chains servings such as Prezzo. For our main meals we chose Barbecued Ribs, Cod fillet and chips, Homemade Steak and Ale pie and Sea bass. For me the Sea bass was cooked well but the presentation was a bit amateurish. The green beans served with the meal were undercooked and too al dente for me. Likewise deep fried Kale is not to my taste but I ate is anyway. My wife’s Cod was tasteless she said, and the fries tasted like frozen chips. Our friend’s Barbecued ribs were okay and he was pleased with his choice. His wife had the homemade pie and it was very overpowered by too much onion. I tasted it myself and it was awful tasting and the meat was too firm and chewy. The kale or cabbage served with her meal was almost raw, and being finely chopped was hard to distinguish what green vegetable it actually was? In summery the experience was let down by the meal. My advice to the chef would be, check your technique and taste what you produce? Unfortunately we as a group will not be frequenting this establishment again. Get some in house feedback because not once were we asked if we were satisfied with the meal and service. We did not leave a gratuity.

We booked in for brunch which was lovely. My wife had mushroom Benedict and I had avocado and poached eggs on ciabatta, whilst the kids went for english breakfasts and waffles. All the food was great, and service exceptional. They also accommodated our dog who was provided with a nice soft bed and her choice off the doggy menu. We then returned that evening for tapas. We had a wonderful seafood platter plus various dishes of which the deep fried crispy chilli chicken was a particular favourite. All in all a lovely place, food and service, and we shall definitely be returning next time we in the area.

Optimal! A quiet place, good selection of beers, good service and interesting and good food...

The food is absolutely amazing and such great prices but it's the staff that really make cafe aroma special. It is run by the most wonderful family who make their guests dining experience their top priority. The waitress magda is fantastic and very attentative. You will never feel more welcomed and valued as a customer than when dining in cafe aroma. It's wheelchair friendly too!

I've been to Market House many times, but I think today might be the last. The service was excellent, so I am not blaming that... but the food has went downhill. I had a £36 dry aged steak: it was a sad combination of broccoli an overpowering verde sauce (slathered all over the steak) and what can only imagine was reheated (tiny) roast potatoes. None of the flavours complimented each other very well and the potatoes had a very squishy chewy texture and a burnt butter taste. I was disappointed... the steak was OK for a British interpretation but lacked any crust or depth of flavour (at least it was not chewy)

Love eating at this restaurant, just wish it was a bit closer to home. We shall just have to stay at the Imperial Hotel more often.

The food was delicious and the coffee was nice. My only complaint was the space at the table. There was a group of us and I was right next to a Pilar.

Good food, good people, good staff, good music.

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!

This was our third visit. Another excellent breakfast in a friendly and welcoming environment. Food and service excellent and reasonably price. This is now our go to place for breakfast when we visit Southend. Would highly recommend.

Proper drinkers pub ,nice friendly atmosphere

I went to an interesting lecture. It's what you expect of a historic building. Chairs are really uncomfortable but worth it for an interesting experience.

as I use a mobility scooter. and outside tables are available i get served by lovely staff .without having to leave my mobility seat .
