The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East of England

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.

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!

The staff are totally disinterested and not at all friendly. Coffee and atmosphere were good. Having to spend 10p on a sachet of ketchup when you have spent £10 is an insult.

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.

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.

Tables not cleared or cleaned, staff too busy chatting instead of serving and toilets are disgusting. Poor attitude from the manager. I asked if he could clear the table, but he just ignored me and I ended up doing it myself. This us totally unacceptable as there we 3 staff on and it was not at all busy

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.

i could smell his mum from a mile away this is really disrespectfull she needs to wash her fanny. and sjauigvbcdfasvxcdnjsvd,msvgfmlxcdzkjdbvgskjudvhjbvchjncdhjxvfjuixfhjdvcv s,hjdcv,hjf

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.

Ordered the large breakfast which comes with toast & butter. I asked for bread & butter instead and was told….No substitutes!!!! I couldn’t persuade the lady to just supply the bread and by-pass the toaster.

Great little cafe for lunch. Wide choice of tasty sandwiches, panini and baguettes. Great coffee. Friendly service. Definitely go again.

I was very underwhelmed. The veggie breakfast had a quorn sausage that seemed to have been microwaved, the tomatoes had be whispered to by a grill and the hashbrowns were burnt on the outside and greasy and cold in the middle. We waited 50 minutes for our food and it all came out at different times. Three of ordered the same dish but they all came out differently. Honestly, it really really wasn't worth the money. I genuinely hate leaving bad reviews, but I wouldn't recommend this overpriced place to anyone. There's much better places in Berko.

What a find... we hadn't booked (oopsy) but luckily we managed to get a table, the food the service was awesome as was the atmosphere.. such a beautiful place to visit.. food arrived very quickly and was delicious.
