The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Really customer focused great value very affordable on a budget great choice to cater for everyone

We have visited the regal many times over the years and always been totally happy with everything ! This time was now different, the restaurant has undergone a substantial redecoration and although you now find your own table the ladies still bring your food to you, the same group of waitresses continue to be friendly And helpful, the food as usual beautiful cooked, piping hot and fresh !

Food is fine, but lacking quality for the price point. Friendly staff, saw to us quickly.

Had a great roast yesterday! Complimentary butternut squash soup to start, both mine and my husbands roasts were amazing! Staff were super friendly and attentive! A local place doing it right!

Our family had a wonderful dining experience at The Porterhouse Pub. The seafood platter to start was fresh and flavorful, setting the tone for a great meal. The kids were delighted with their pizza and burger options, and my ribeye steak was cooked to perfection, complemented by a delicious pepper sauce. My wife enjoyed her pork dish, finding it tender and well-balanced in taste. While the presentation of the meals could have been improved with a little more finesse, the overall quality of the food was excellent. The selection of beers could also benefit from more variety (some nice premium local IPAs), but the exceptional service and well-timed delivery of dishes made up for it. In short, The Porterhouse Pub offers a fantastic dining experience with great food and attentive service, with just a few areas for refinement. Highly recommended for families looking for a comfortable and satisfying meal!

I really recommend this places expecially when you have children. My sun was very happy to see the little animals 😊 and they have a very nice coffee shop and some farm products .

Lovely village pub,ample seating outside , didn't eat but will be back for food .just go and see for your self.

After being at Whipsnade Zoo all day we came here for dinner as a family, kids menu was great with options and they had a little park for the kids to play in before eating. We liked the atmosphere, everybody was really lovely and welcoming.

Delicious Suffolk chorizo and local cheese baked potato served with a great cuppa! Our dog was made very welcome and the service was great.

Lovely food, very reasonable and plentiful portions. Great selection on menu. Highly recommend. Friendly staff. Have returned several times.

Absolutely brilliant night service atmosphere and food amazing booked to go back next month highly recommend

This place was a really nice find on a March Friday evening for a middle-aged but youthful couple visiting Lowestoft. Our B&B recommended the place next door (pink neon lights, fishbowl look), not for us! But right next door is a 'proper' nice pub. Comfortable, clean, and most of all, very welcoming. As soon as we were halfway to the bar, we got a cheery "hello" and "what can I get for you, are you going to be eating" I'm a bit grumpy when people are overly (falsely) friendly. But the young man and young woman who served us got it just right. Left us alone when wanted, and were quick to respond when we asked. The food is simple, (we had "chicken in a bucket') but the portions are good (but not wasteful) and really tasty and fresh. We've never been to Lowestoft before and probably never will again as we were here for a very specific reason, but our visit to this lovely pub turned a 'functional visit to the town into a pleasurable meal/night out. Thank you

Everyone should go here just for the milkshakes. We even had an extra milkshake instead of dessert because they are soooo good. Rayna May was a friendly, efficient, knowledgeable waitress. The place was really clean and comfortable. The food was very reasonably priced. My salad was amazing, my friend really enjoyed her burger and did I mention the milkshakes 🤣🤣🤣

We were visiting for a weekend and went here twice for lunch. Nice selection of items and we enjoyed everything we had. Staff were friendly, tables clean and food came out quick. Chatted to some locals who were there which is always a good sign. Even took some cakes away.

Nice tea room, tucked away on the main seafront behind the upside down house. It was busy but we eventually found a table big enough for all 6 of us, Good selection of hot and cold meals and small portions for the 2 children. Between us we had a cheese ploughman’s, a full English, an egg mayo sandwich, and a cream tea for the adults, chicken nuggets and chips and a burger for the children. Quick polite service, the food was freshly made/cooked and was very tasty. Lots of cheese on the ploughman’s. Also had 2 pots of tea with spare pots of hot water for more than enough drinks, we stayed there until closing time as the weather was atrocious. Friendly attentive staff but I couldn’t understand a single word they said (very strong Norfolk accent) Definitely recommended
