The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East of England

I’ve been going Hot Numbers for years and it’s never been a cheap option but the venue and quality of food always kept me coming back. Sadly that balance has slipped away of late and the pricing on the reworked menu doesn’t justify the food they’re serving now. On my visit today I ordered the ‘new’ mushroom on sourdough and it arrived as a single piece of bread with a covering of mushrooms, which yes is what it says it will be but it was comically small and looked like something you’d get on a child’s menu. At £11 it’s just too much (in my opinion) and I’ll be heading elsewhere for a while. The plague of flies which are covering the lights on the upper floor isn’t particularly nice either, how no one who works there has thought to try and sort them out is a mystery.

Popped in the tearoom with my partner, son and dog and had a very nice experience. Sat in the courtyard as we had the dog which was nice on a warm day. The food was good and very reasonably priced. I had the ham and cheese ploughman’s and my partner had the tuna salad, both were really nice. We look forward to returning.

Very poor service from the senior server, but the younger girl was very nice, think the senior server needs to go to charm school.

Having stayed in this hotel we were disappointed with the room as the curtains and bedding were stained, the bathroom extremely dated and the room was very noisy. If booking and paying for breakfast on check in as they say you have book and pay in advance and they offered us full English or continental (please beware the continental breakfast only consists of cereal and toast ) The menu that is not offered to you until you get in the room does not even offer continental breakfast? So why do they promote it at reception? At breakfast we had to wait 50 minutes for the full English to arrive which was awful we were not asked what type of egg we wanted, mushrooms were over cooked, no hash browns cold tomatoes and beans was not worth the money. I wrote to the General Manager who has not had the decency to respond to me.

One of the main reasons for the visit was due to the iconic name, made famous by the film of the same name.. of which my boys are huge fans Visited after a cold visit from Suffolk with my 2 teen boys after a cold visit to the Fort, wanting to warm up with some food. We definitely saw a local that we thought of as 'Blank'. 🤣 For a Saturday afternoon it was extremely quiet, which concerned me a bit. (Usually strikes me as not a good location if this quiet) Ordered drinks and food for 3 of us and food from a very limited menu. One thing was immediately noted... How damn cold it was in there, a fire, or should I say, hot coals, was in the fireplace but it was freezing on a winter day, even the staff were bundled up in winter coats. We sat at the back of the pub in the Samuel Pepys room where we were quickly joined by the local 'village council' having their meeting and glaring at us as we chatted! (Sorry.. pubs are for chatting) Our food arrived swiftly and to our delight and I have to say suprise, it was really tasty and of large portions... Fish was a tad on the greasy side, but was still edible. So, 10/10 for that. Overall. A welcome stop off after a visit to the Fort and yes, I would visit again.... It wasn't terrible.. but it really lacked the love and attention it dearly needs in order to attract more clients.

We visited last week for a festive afternoon tea as we do every Christmas. It was a lovely afternoon tea, great selection of sandwiches, scones and desserts as well as a savoury treat. Staff were helpful and friendly but could have been a bit more attentive with topping up tea. However was a grata afternoon tea and would recommend.

My husband and I arrived early at Buckhurst for breakfast. When we received our breakfasts at nearly £10 each it was obvious that they had been prepared in advance as the mushrooms were luke warm, the vegetarian sausages were over cooked, hard and dry and the toast was cold. It just didn't seem freshly cooked as perhaps prepared too early and not heated through. Staff however were wonderful, so was the coffee and the garden centre but we won't be back for breakfast.

For a pub the food is delightful, I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal. The staff are so nice and they have a great selection of beers on offer along with alcohol free drinks

Fui con un grupo de 40 pl. La comida estaba cocinada encantadora, pero solo Lucas cálido. Solo 2 empleados trayendo comida. Esperó 45 minutos para que llegara la comida. El personal hizo todo lo posible, pero era bastante basura. Nos dijeron que tenían otra fiesta allí (no es nuestro problema ) en consecuencia es muy poco probable que volvamos las próximas Navidades.

We decided to try this local pub out tonight and were not disappointed. The food was really good and the service was warm with plenty of banter.. they were so accommodating and so I look forward to returning. It’s also really good value for money which definitely makes for a nice change.

I can’t rate this place enough not only for their seasonal meals but their roast dinners are simply AMAZING! I went with my family and we shared a Sunday roast platter, it was delicious, plenty of food and great variety (3 different meats, roast veg and steamed veg, red cabbage, stuffing, pigs in blankets, Yorkshire’s and the cauliflower cheese was so delicious and cheesy). The variety of veg was great and none of the veg was limp nor felt microwaved, the vegetables still maintained their vibrate colours and crunch. The gravy had a really depth to it and I asked the waitress and they said it was home made by the chefs, the quality of the gravy finished off the meal. It’s such a beautiful pub near the quay, has a real cosy feel to it along with a great ambiance. The staff are always helpful and tentative without being overbearing. Great drink selection, and definitely one of the best places to eat for food quality and value for money. I can’t recommend this quant pub enough. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from us.

It was 8pm and my wife had sent me off to Tesco with a list of stuff I had no idea about where to look (apart from the blueberries). So, I disturbed a member of staff with a colleague who were on a computer. I asked where I could find one item. He stopped what he was doing and took me to where it should be. Empty shelf. He checked his hand held device and dutifully went to the storeroom. Unfortunately, they were out of stock despite the hand held saying they had some. I trundled off searching for the last item. Failed. Nabbed him again - straight to it. Top service. In fact, as I wandered off to pay, he saw me and asked if I needed any more assistance. First class - his name was Jordan. I hope his manager sees this and thanks him again for me.

Beautiful setting, terrible service. After waiting for 10 minutes with the waitress walking past us numerous times we assumed that you had to order inside. We were told table service only. Another 10 minutes went by and we flagged the waitress down to order coffees. She kept on serving other tables and came back to us after a little while to take our order, which we had already given her. At that point we got up and left. Very disappointing.

Mucha gente realmente pretenciosa con camisas de diseñador que fingen tener éxito. Quiero decir, vi a un chico con una camisa inteligente haciendo clic en sus dedos con un crujiente 20. ¿Qué es todo eso? Es un millón de millas de éxito genuino. tarjetas de credito y mucho frente. no para mí todo

Excellent to have our local reopen again . Like normal excellent service nice to have a landlord that genuinely cares about his business the man never stops working . Great team felt safe with Covid restrictions. Would just be great if the pay at table app was more consistent to help take the pressure off the waiting staff .
