The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East of England

Called in here to look at the antiques. We bought a small item and were served by the most miserable sour faced, unfriendly, man we had ever seen. On the way out we bought some of the excellent cakes on offer to take home and were served by a helpful friendly young lady and a jolly friendly young lad. Maybe they could teach the old bloke a few things about customer service ?

I played a game of bridge at the best bridge club in Essex, First Class Bridge Academy and wanted a quick sandwich before the game. Popped in here, basic cafe, nothing special, tbh looks like the factory pass from 'Dinner Ladies' I ordered an egg mayo sandwich and a diet coke £9 😯 yep, seriously £9, I actually queried the amount but I think the heat must have got to me because all I could come up with was 'blimey'. It was served with a dead lettuce and a slice of cucumber and what looked like leftover crisps, no napkin, no condiments and not on a silver platter, which was disappointing at that price ! Young mum's beware, bring your own picnic because the prices in this rip off joint will spoil an otherwise lovely day out.

Great coffee obviously but they really need either a seating redesign or preferably moving to much bigger premises. Completely hopeless to sit inside and be comfortable.

We expect a landlady to have a certain brusque disposition, it rather goes with the territory when you're managing a pub. There is a very big difference, however, between a firm manner and overt discourtesy. Before visiting, I had read older reviews, but dismissed them as the usual village gossip and sour grapes. I'm afraid, though, that staff at the Cock Inn come exactly as described - gratuitously and randomly rude. Funnily enough, everyone else in the village seems happy with my manners; even the teens working at the Co-op can manage a smile now and then - it's just this one place. The building's interior and gardens are actually quite attractive - presumably this is the only reason they are still in business - but the architecture is not in itself enough to warrant a visit. If you are travelling any kind of distance, and especially if you are visiting with others who would be embarrassed if you have to walk out, you might consider choosing a different pub.

Tables and floor littered. Staff talking amongst themselves. Made to wait to have order taken. Emily was a professional manager, this lot are loud and unprofessional. Some of their friends came in, they were served before us, talking the whole time and didn’t pay. We walked out and went to Costa.

Waited 10 minutes after paying fir them just to make a cup of tea despitenot being busy at tll. 1 girl making the drinks, a frappichino, 2 girls basically doing nothing. Said to the girl about the wait, was basically ignored, no apology! Will go to Cafe Neros next time!

Lovely bar with a great view. Well priced food and drink, and great friendly bar staff. Wonderful venue for enjoying a sunny day.

Perhaps you're not supposed to like places like this, but we did. What makes it good are the comfy armchairs and relaxed atmosphere. The coffee is pretty OK too.

Sitting in Starbucks Baldock. Understaffed! Rubbish bin overflowing! Tables and floor dirty! Cobwebs and dirt on window ledges! Coffee Ok 🥴

A reasonable cafe/ coffee place in convenient location. Staff were helpful but the whole atmosphere smells of fried food

We called into this coffee shop for a break on a freezing cold day. Two flat whites cost £6.80. They were very good quality, but unfortunately only served in a paper cup.

Friday night and empty which was a surprise. Multiple seating areas, cheap and cheerful in sense staff were friendly enough. Very cheap wine served

Not been hear since pandemic began but pleased to say its got even better with a lovely outside covered seating area. Service friendly as ever and the food is fresh, simple tasty and generous……try the gammon.

They had no hot food or sandwiches at all, would be shocked if even there taps were working, middle of the day and absolutely nothing on offer, not as I remember it, very disappointed.

Great place with friendly service. Can't believe the earlier reviews. I have always had friendly service and the food and coffee is just what you expect from Costa.
