The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East of England

First time having breakfast here. Very good espresso and friendly service in a pleasant cafe area. Very disappointing scrambled egg on toast. Once slice of cold toast (which made it chewy) with a decidedly rubbery, solid lump of scrambled egg. It was lukewarm and was not freshly made; I suspect it had been done in the microwave and left to congeal. Not sure what eggs were used, but soft, warm and yellowy it was not! It was quite orangey and had no taste of eggs and a rubbery texture. Not a £5 meal; I could definitely have got something much tastier for less in town...Not a cafe to be recommended for food.

I visited yesterday 16th December and was very impressed by Megan she couldn't of been more helpful it was very very busy but she was still polite and helpful shining star she will go a long way well done Megan

Terrible breakfast, one bite from the sausage and I was nearly sick. The customer service is unbelievable rude, if you are not people person don’t work in a cafe, all of them that work there are just miserable and it rubs off on their service Will not go back

Will NEVER visit this apology for a tea room again! No welcome/non-atmosphere, had to request fresh water for my dog; tasteless toastie with no seasoning nor dressing for salad garnish plus a teapot which didn’t pour!!!!! Several staff who had to be asked to serve. Very poor show! The setting is perfect and could be a thriving business with good footfall but total waste of time and money!

Not good. Quite a few menu items were not available. One or two of the staff had a disappointing attitude. Not what you would normally expect from M&S staff.

Very slow service and switched off staff

Staff are decent, coffee is normally ok. Despite having ‘Get into the winter groove: Pistachio Velvet latte’ boardings up, they _*still*_ don’t have the requisite ingredients. Have tried weekly for a month - nothing. Take the things down if you don’t have it

Really excellent place for a party. Service was excellent throughout. Food was good. Would highly recommend it to anyone

Poor toast, very weak coffee, had to ask for a forgotten drink, food item and spoons. Not very good.

Popped in for dessert after a terrible Italian round the corner. I had white chocolate crepe and my partner had kinda cookie dough. Delicious!!! If this way again would definitely be back. Service was good, food reasonably priced and tasted lovely!

Plenty of people behind counter but wait ages to get served. Wanted just a coffee but twice they didn't have any (?) Sometimes you have to queue at food counter for coffees. Good coffee,if it wasn't I wouldn't bother. Store is very unorganised. Manager not on top of it..

Great as always, great staff great coffee and good value for money. Skinny latte and frapuchino fir my daughters, both very much enjoyed.

Not a busy time but a simple order of 3 coffees ( flat white and 2 americanos ) turned out to be a really bad choice for an upmarket outlet . The flat white was literally just warm - returned 3 times . The americano - as our friend who we were treating to a coffee put it - ‘flavoured water’ . I visited the ladies toilet on leaving - I wish I hadn’t had to . This facility was really poor .

We were upstairs in the "expensive" riverview restaurant for a pre-booked pre-concert dinner. Two courses £35, 3 courses £45. Beautful views across the river and reed-beds at sunset. Arriving at the designated time it took 20 minutes before our order was taken. After the first course we were getting concerned that as the concert began at 7pm, we would run out of time. We didn't, but it was a close thing. We ordered a glass of white wine each, but the wine was only just below room temperature and should have been much colder to be enjoyable. Our starters were just about OK, although my Beef Bresaola was somewhat substandard - the beef was fine but the rest of the stated ingredients were pretty much tasteless. My wife's main was the Confit Duck leg that she has described to me as being unexciting - there was a sauce and supposed to be blackberry jus (or something similar) that she was unable to identify and the potato was just a large shaped chunk of potato, possibly roasted! My main (Confit Pork Belly) was "interesting" - the crackling was rock hard - I couldn't cut it with my knife and when I tried to bite into it, I still couldn't break it, so I abandoned that. When I mentioned this to the server, I was told that it would be reported to the kitchen - maybe it was, but no-one apologised or responded in any way to my complaint. In addition the accompanying "sauce" was like a green porridge in consistency and was barely lukewarm - overall what should have been the most interesting dish proved to be the most disappointing one. Our desserts were reasonably good, but not worth the extra £10 for the 3rd course. So, I would not recommend the restaurant and felt that it was very much over-priced and understaffed, as the service was friendly but incredibly slow. Total cost for the two of us £120, including 12.5% "gratuity". As fairly frequent visitors to the Concert Hall , we will not be returning this restaurant.

Scones were delightful, customer service was brilliant. It was extremely busy and the lady at the till couldn't do enough to help,we did share a table which is fine thanks to the lovely staff. I have noticed that what day you visit depends on the experience regarding service.
