The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East of England

I was staying in the area and had lunch here four times. The experience in terms of service and food was variable. With regards to service, there is an older waitress who needs more training and does not know the menu very well. She seemed very unsure of herself and had trouble recording our order, having to repeat ourselves several times. Answers to our reasonably basic questions about the menu were "I think so..." and that did not fill us with much confidence. The younger waitresses were very good, attentive and friendly - so something must be going well in terms of staff training. We were also given warm tap water with no ice on a hot, summer day. This was partly due to the high price of drinks - £3.10 for canned drinks and £5.75+ for a milkshake. The surf and turf burger was really good - I would recommend this, as the crayfish, pawns and burger were lovely with the sauce. This was consistently good. The gammon, egg, chips and peas was also yummy and good value. The meat was well-cooked, as were the chips. The haddock was really nice on one occasion, with light and crispy batter. But on another occasion the batter was hard and overcooked, accompanied by cold chips and peas.

The staff where friendly enough and customer focused. HOWEVER, the duty manager was completely rude and not customer focused. She is the type of person that stops me wanting to part with my money. It was suppose to be a treat fore and my mum, which was ruined by her. The tables were filled with dirty trays, she also didn't put any day dots on the the cakes she got out and was picking cutlery up with her hands touching the parts that you put into your mouth. Since she's been working there the atmosphere is marred. I would rather sit in a dirty pigsty. The pigs would be more friendly. Hurry up and open Starbucks (even though it's not my go to coffee outlet) Change your attitude, if not change your sour face. Perhaps customer facing roles are not for you.

Love this cafe. It’s very convenient for me to visit after school drop offs. Very helpful friendly staff. Sometimes they have special offers for scones so I get coffee and scone for £4 which is great. If there is no special offer then I just get a coffee. Good selection of pastries but not a good selection of cakes. The hot food is all prepacked so I would never try it as it can never be good. I like going to cafes that prepare fresh food (affordable) and nice breakfast which you can’t really find in this Waitrose cafe unfortunately. But I love this cafe for my coffee stops.

Brilliant service today. The store has umproves so much. It was full and clean. Service at the tills was quick and cheerful

Quick service. Good tea and coffee. Nice poached eggs on toast plus full English breakfast. Can sit outside too in market square.

Wonderful Sunday brunch We both had shakshuka Absolutely delicious Mimosa followed by Prosecco Lovely staff Too many yapping dogs Please think about no dogs it’s not great in a restaurant

amazing coffee and has amazing customer service from the staff. will be coming here a lot often now! Keep it up!!!

We went to Princes as we have done for over 15 years. On arrival they weren’t very busy but was told the wait would be 20/25 mins. After 45 mins I was told it’s just coming, after an hour I chased again and was told it was just coming it would be 5 mins. The order was for a burger and chips and 2 ham and cheese toasties. A nice man who was clearing the tables gave me my money back but not all of it, he took the money back and didn’t return. I then went in and was met by the same person who said it the food would ve 20/25 mins and gave me my full refund and not even a sorry just a filthy look, I asked is that a sorry. I received not reply. I was polite through out, and even though only on Gt Yarmouth for the day for the @wheels festival to wait over an hour to get nothing is a big chunk of the day. Poor customer service, poor communication and the lady who had food on the next table left it and said it was awful. For years I have been a loyal customer, and this is how you are treated. I won’t be back!

Been using this coffee shop for a number years but unfortunately some of the staff really let this establishment down recently How hard can it be to get a coffee that’s not boiling hot and when politely asked to change it the attitude is terrible

This is my local Waitrose and staffing levels have become ridiculous, it’s becoming difficult to pay for your shopping, worse than Tesco.

This café has a great location facing the marina in Ipswich. We took the opportunity to sit outside on a pleasant day and very much enjoyed the coffee and the wonderful view of the boats. We visited twice while we were in Ipswich. You order at the counter with your table number and the coffee is delivered to the table.

At Caffè Nero Rickmansworth my drink is never accurately made - based on the description on the board and when I ask for the missing ingredients to be added, I get a look of disgust like I’m a total inconvenience and the correct drink is slammed onto the counter in disgust. After all if I’m paying for a drink as described, I think I’m entitled to it as described? The Caffe itself can be quite busy which is not an issue in itself but the staff rarely get the chance to tidy up or wipe the tables. Expect to have to do that yourself. What’s interesting is that Caffè Nero don’t have a feedback function on their www. Missing a trick or just not interested?

This was our second consecutive Friday visit for the early evening bargain menu. We both had the excellent smoked haddock, leek & asparagus risotto followed by lovely mango panna cotta. Where else can you do this and (should you so choose) watch a bowls match at the same time? The bar staff are friendly and welcoming. We have also been here for our wonderful garden club annual dinners, our weekly yoga sessions and occasional coffee & sausage roll meetings with friends. How do they do it all so well? I'm glad they do. Warwick Jones
