The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East of England

Have to say this is not a good advert for the contract caterer Ellior, if this is the best you can do hand back the keys and allow another company to run the coffee shop in Broomfield. This is my second visit in two weeks and can only confirm it is worse and not something I would want to use again. Caked in counter not programmed in the till so three operators to work one till whilst the queue grows is unbearable when I finally sat down noticed two ladies on laptops with Ellior logos meeting, hopefully they were working out how to program the till either way this whole cafe concept needs a major update and send in a team from head office to sort it out. I can't believe this is the flagship cafe in this giant hospital on Broomfield. I would not use this if I did not have an alternative to sit down whilst visiting the hospital. P.s. don't order the millionaire shortcake or the salted caramel muffins unless you want the service to stand to a halt ....

Dirty table, dirty floor. I asked staff member to please clean our table. She said she would but didn’t come back. Probably shortage of underpaid staff.

I'm utterly disappointed with the service. I've purchased two surprise bags on 'Too good to go' app to be collected tonight 19:00–19:30. Sadly, the drive took much longer than anticipated, and I was late a few minutes. The employee present at the store simply ignored me and continued on with her 'cleaning' while happily chatting with a friend and after a few minutes started to pack all the pastries and leftover food and passed it to her friend who was leisurely sitting inside and clearly not a member of the staff. It's a very unprofessional behaviour and stark favouring from the employee proves how this branch treats customers and why it has numerous low reviews.

I told you you’d be skint by Christmas. Next time your dad throws tens of thousands at you for a business at least have the brains to not treat your punters like they’re not welcome. Also, there’s a time and a place for flirting with each other fellas.

Run by the Salvation Army the cafe sits near the olympic cycle track. There are tables inside and some comfy sofas though there's no air conditioning so it can get very warm indoors. Wooden picnic tables outside have plenty of options for families with children and dog walkers. The menu is very limited, basically hot and cold drinks, breakfast rolls with a choice of bacon or sausage, pies, pasties, chips, sausage rolls, sandwiches and some pastries. The breakfast bundle is good value at £5 for a breakfast roll and any hot drink. The service is extremely slow but as there's only one pay serving and pay point it's down to the speed of the staff and the amount people are ordering. Between our party we had a steak pasty, a vegetarian pasty, chips and sausage in a roll. The pasties are a good size, chips were plentiful and there were two sausages in the bread roll. Pretty good value and everything tasted very good. I noticed a flyer advertising live music on some evenings with a £2 donation entry fee. I'd happily visit again as we weren't in a rush and enjoyed the lovely sunshine with our food and drinks. The coffee options were good quality.

Is this even a Starbucks? Not a smile....Warmth interaction or even a Starbucks looking shop. Shop looks actually empty. Like an office seating area. 0 Starbucks feeling and atmosphere. Except for the merchandising wall. Staff: I swear I didn't see anyone smiling. Everyone bland or chattering away. Only one serving. I can see other people here have shared the same experience as me. I suppose the managers, took one of biggest high up tables and were doing their paperwork there, which I personally found not very pleasant whatsoever and unprofessional. She also looked at me with the weirdest rude face. This is a very busy area, with loads of take away and drive thru requests, I get it. However, if you want to call yourselves Starbucks, I advise you to have more training, more research and even go to a proper Starbucks to see how the customer service is. Complaint is going to the head office.

Not too bad. theres a lot that could be improved but the ultimate breakfast was quite filling. It came very quickly to the table. But a pot of tea is only enough for one cup and theres not much atmosphere here. Plus I could probably get a better tasting breakfast for cheaper or the same from a local greasy spoon.

Turned up for lunch at 1:30pm...only to be told they're not taking food orders for another 20 minutes or so! Won't be lunchtime then. Poor.

Want here after my swim 1150 am but was told they were too busy to to food and not cooking says it all really young staff not enough of them can't cope

Quite a few meals were ‘unavailable’ so we opted for the breakfast instead. We each selected a pot of tea but were told that the hot water urn wasn’t working so we couldn’t have tea We were ready to pay but realised a meal was left off (there were 3 of us) so we had to ‘re-start’ the whole order again as we couldn’t go to the till. We sat down and waited for ages. When the food finally arrived it was cold and the tiny sliced button mushrooms on the plate were dried up and tasteless plus the fried egg and tomatoes were missing from the plate.altogether. I told the guy to speak to the chef about the missing food. Well the missing items didn’t arrive. When we were leaving I mentioned it to the guy again and he said ‘oh sorry’ - basically he hadn’t told the chef. Morrisons prices in the Cafe have gone up BUT what hasn’t improved to reflect this is the food, the service and the area (floor and tables needed a good clean) - oh and let’s not forget how many people we saw leave as they couldn’t order their food on the self service machine and there wasn’t anyone around at the till. Plus we heard people on other tables moaning that the food was cold or that they also had food missing from the plate that they had ordered! Having spent £31 we have decided we will not be eating there again. Morrisons Cafe needs to improve because things left as they are now is absolutely atrocious!!

Called in today for a meal whilst in town and to use a 30% off mains voucher. There was a time we would avoid due to bad service but this has much improved. Food was lovely. Very attentive staff. Service excellent . We WILL return. Thanks.

This place used to be my saviour on nights when I was too tired after work to feed the kids at home, because it was quick and cheap! It’s still quick, but the quality has plummeted. Things they need to fix: -The peas are left sitting in water I think so are weird and tasteless -Bacon is just soft and the fat is stringy, zero crispiness -The roast dinners used to be amazing, now you get a weird hard lump of meat that’s inedible and inedible veg, it’s grim -Coffee used to taste good but now it’s from a machine and nowhere near as nice -The hot drinks generally seem to taste a bit weird (altho it is now free refills, I never want a second one!) -Tables are sticky -Chairs and floor often not clean -Cutlery often not properly clean -The cups have a sort of grainy feeling on the outside (deposits from the dishwasher??) and don’t feel clean? Some safe bets: -The curry is always fine -The fish and chips is good -My son rates the meatball sub highly! -The breakfast roll and hot drink deal is good! (Sausages better than bacon as bacon is soft and only just cooked) Staff are always friendly and try their best. I think they need more staff and more time allocated for cleaning, and the place needs a thorough deep clean and then more regular cleaning after that!

Thank you to the fantastic la bone restaurant who gave us 12 wonderful meals to North Walsham hospital.we are facing bad times ahead, and truly grateful for lifting our morale! We are a small rural hospital and sometimes forgotten, but will be playing a part in this awful time . Thank you xx
