The best restaurants serving Default food in Brandon East Forest Heath East of England

Great place for a family lunch with playground outside

Now renamed as GreenBox Sushi, this Japanese restaurant is no longer a buffet. Inside the seating is very dark and dingy, with delivery supplies and clutter over half of the tables. We decided to eat outside as it was lovely weather. The menu we were given to browse was paper stapled together, no lamination or design. When ordering I asked for coke, which was on their menu, they didn’t have coke so we had to opt for Pepsi. When taking my food order the receptionist told me that they were busy with lots of deliveries and had to go ask the kitchen staff if it was okay to take my order! I had the tofu ramen and my partner had the pork ramen with a side of gyozas. Gyozas were fried instead of steamed, no sauce provided and were luke warm in the middle. I believe they cost £6.50, so from a price point this is quite underwhelming. However the ramen was delicious! We opted for the spicy broth and it went lovely with the tofu and beansprouts! Definitely would recommend the ramen as it’s full of flavour and quite a large portion! I was again disappointed that the cutlery provided was a fork and spoon. We eat Japanese and Chinese cuisine often at home as I’m a huge fan of recreating dishes, we are used to eating with chopsticks and it felt very wrong eating ramen with a fork! I would suggest investing in washable steel chopsticks, that way you save chopstick waste but keep the authentic Asian feeling.

Lovely breakfast so welcoming, definitely worth a visit as Four in a Bed winner. Matt and his team were lovely.

My wife and I sometimes come here for lunch on Sunday or occasionally stop for dinner. The buffets (both cavery & chinese) offer a good selection and are well stocked. One of out favourite local eateries.

Absolutely awful experience. First (and probably last) time I'll ever visit Supposed to meet a colelague. Waited at front counter to be served. Manageress had her back to me for ages whilst chatting to a customer Eventually another server came forward Pretty busy but two tables free, one right by entrance and one by window. Asked if we could sit there Table was reserved for one hour hence so said we would vacate when the folks booking turned up. No not possible as computer couldn't handle table numbers. Siad I'm sure it would be fine Sat down and there was a little sign saying table booked from 1pm so please vacate 5 minutes beforehand. Thought to myself no issue then Then said Manageress turned up. Really rude and hostile from the get go. Leaned in, talked over me , stated she wouldn't serve me (twice). Talked over me, barked "listen" and when I said pardon then just proceeded to parrot her own take Having asked in the foyer to speak with the overall Manager, I was told there was actually another cafe area we could have gone to. The GM apologised although I still have the feeling nothing would be said to Restaurant Manageress Overall very disappointing and I would avoid going back on principle

Absolutely delicious meal out as a couple, I had the fillet steak and my partner had the chilli, lovely food and brilliant service. We was put off by the bad reviews but decided to go anyway and I am so glad we did. Will definitely be booking for next time. Thank you x

I was extremely disappointed with this takeaway. I ordered grilled dumplings that were extremely greasy and oily. I also ordered Peking beef with egg fried rice. It was dreadful, the beef was very tough, the peking sauce was very very sweet and thin and the rice was of very poor quality. I shouldn’t have eaten it because I got a stomach ache after. I went to pay with Apple Pay but they only accept cash or internet bank transfer, no biggie I suppose. On the menu it states ‘Dishes not listed in this menu are available on request’, so I enquired if they could make Pork and Prawn Dumpling (Siu Mai), and also Prawn Dumpling (Har Gow), they said they could not, something about chicken and no pork. I kind of felt a bit mislead by the statement on the menu. The food was over priced, no disabled access on door, (there is a step). Parking is poor because the drivers door opens directly onto the busy high street. And no courtesy prawn crackers with my meal. Tsk!

Delicious food. Visited twice within 3 days. Would highly recommend the pancakes or waffles. Good service. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only thing is I wish they were open longer and earlier as you could definitely go for an early breakfast or a late night treat.

We didn’t really eat here, apart from a tasty but small bowl of chips. The atmosphere is great, plenty of space, plenty of places to sit. Lots and lots of tv screens with all sport showing. Staff are very accommodating, turning tv stations over for guests to watch different matches. Floor service available and drinks/ food can be brought to your table. Giant screen which is brilliant to watch!

This place does an excellent Sunday lunch, good value for money, very well presented and extremely tasty. The cauliflower cheese was very good, best I have had, we went as a family group and were very pleased with the food and the price is very reasonable can certainly recommend. Will definitely be going again as it is so good, well done Chef

Went back to Peach Bower after a 6 month break as the standard of take away had gone downhill. Didn't have cash so couldn't use Kings Garden in the high street. My wifes' chicken chow mein was ok but my S&S king prawn hong kong style was made using reheated , burnt prawn balls, in a disgustingly sweet sauce . The Sesame prawn toast was also burnt and dripping with grease. Next time I have no cash I'll go hungry rather than use this (once fantastic) restaurant.

Called in on way back from beach. Ordered small fish and chips. £9.70!! I was the only one in the shop 3.15 and one person serving. Got back to my van and the fish was like a mini sardine so small and the chips were dry shrivelled and most probably started their life the night before. I also noticed from the leaflet I picked up that I should have been charged about £6 as there was an offer on. I phoned to complain 6 times but no one answered so took it back and got my money back. Second time this has happened load of old trash. Never again.

Best food around best chicken burgers very fresh large portion🍔 taste really nice. I highly recommend to everyone good price

We visited with family for a significant wedding anniversary and the evening was ruined by the extremely slow service and the food certainly wasn’t worth the money they charge. Our starters arrived with no problems, but after these were cleared we waited over an hour for our mains. One member of the group had to leave with a child who was nearly falling asleep at the table and could not wait any longer. They asked to have theirs to take away and even gave up waiting for that and left. The restaurant was not even particularly busy considering it was a Saturday night. We called the manager over to ask why the food was taking so long and she said that there were a lot of people with allergies that night and that meant they had to cook things separately. If this was actually the case then why were we not warned that the food was going to take longer than normal? When the food came over it was very average and certainly wasn’t worth the wait. We were not at all impressed with the manager’s response, she came across very disinterested and not at all empathetic. We said we were not paying for the 2 meals for the people that had left and we were not happy paying full price for the rest of the meal. She said she would have to call her manager to see what she could do and then went off for some time and said she couldn’t get hold of them. She said she was only authorised to knock 25% off the meal, then when I asked to see the bill she had taken this discount off with the 2 meals still on there for the people who had to leave. I queried this and she said that was included in the 25%, I then said we weren’t prepared to pay for those meals and asked her to take these off before applying the discount. I don’t feel this was a satisfactory resolution to the issues we had. We won’t be eating there again and certainly wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else. However, we went to guest services the following morning to raise our issues and I have to say the staff there were very helpful, the Food and Beverage Manager took the time to come and listen to our feedback and rectified the situation.

The food was reheated and didn’t taste fresh at all. Absolutely no depth of flavour and many of the curries tasted the same. Waiters were incredibly busy and waited a while for the drinks to arrive- also didn’t ask us how the food was (probably because they know it’s not great!). Oh and to top it off they ‘miscalculated’ the bill by nearly £40! Don’t waste your money going here and buy a ready meal from a supermarket (that’s what I’d compare our meal to) to eat in your lodge.
