The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Broadland East of England

We visited for a breakfast. All was beautifully cooked, hot and fresh and probably the best breakfast I’ve ever had actually. Served by the chef herself.

Not the best outlet in Chelmsford the best one is westway. Maldon high street is also very good but very disappointed Costas don’t offer any gluten free products as my wife can’t eat and as to watch me eating

There is plenty of competition in Aylsham for good bread, rolls and cakes but this is still our go to bakers. The quality and value is excellent and the staff are always very helpful ( happy to put rolls aside for me to collect later). I would recommend the cheese straws and rolls but the cakes are delicious too.

I visited here with my husband for breakfast. We had been to the Garden Centre before but not the cafe. The Garden Centre has it's own car park, which is large and has plenty of spaces. The cafe looks lovely. The decor is light and airy and they have bits and bobs used as decoration that you can buy yourself from the shop. You can sit inside, in a conservatory area or outside. We sat inside. My husband ordered a large breakfast, I ordered toast and jam and we got a tea each. You order and pay at the till then collect your own cutlery / sauces etc before sitting down. Lovely if there a re a few of you, not so much for a single diner who would return to their table to find it taken by others. The ordering process was SLOW. The lady on the till was quite flappy and it was painful to stand and watch her. It made the till area very busy as the queue to order was getting longer and longer. The guy making the drinks wasn't any quicker. There were about 4 tables ahead of us when we ordered. Despite this, the food came out very quickly (not a good sign). My toast was floppy bread with a slight crust to the outside. Not amazing bread made worse by not toasting it properly. It had the floppy, cold texture of those rolling toast machines you get in hotels. My husband's breakfast was a mix of being cold and lukewarm. It came out so quickly I think they must have bulk cooked food in preparation and kept it hot plated. It was so cold he couldn't eat it and took it back. After them just looking at him, they replaced his breakfast. Despite no apology at the till when returning it, the guy who brought the second one out was lovely and apologised. However, my toast wasn't replaced, not the drinks, so I had already finished my food before my husband's replacement came out so he felt awkward eating alone and it took the shine out of our breakfast treat. My husband said the breakfast wasn't great. The fried bread was just oily and nasty and the ingredients just 'meh'. The scones looked lovely and we got a couple to take home and to be fair, these were very nice. Looking at the cakes and other scones they had out, these all looked delicious too. The cafe isn't cheap. And the food isn't worth what we paid. The staff are unfriendly and appear very untrained. No one seemed to look like they were enjoying working there and the service was utterly shambolic. As stated above, the cakes all looked very nice so maybe this is somewhere to go for a nice bit of cake and a coffee whilst browsing the Garden Centre itself. We will return to the Garden Centre again as it is a nice place for plants. But for a meal, we would not return here. It was bad.

Literally tastes like water Literally weak squash - horrible not worth the money Don’t recommend this drink and so over priced

Now called the Water’s Edge, we had a great evening here on the Saturday over the August bank holiday weekend. Really friendly and relaxed owners who made us feel very welcome and a great atmosphere. It was the most fun night we had on our weekend boating holiday!

Naomi & Daniel seemed to be the only ones, front of house, in a busy pub / restaurant but they coped enthusiastically and well. Our group of 15 diners arrived 7.30pm and we ordered so many different dishes and the kitchen didn't disappoint! A bit of a wait but with 15 meals to prepare what else? Meals arrived all together and we were all impressed so, great food, great service and a well stocked bar. Well done Naomi, Daniel and the kitchen!

I lived on the Broads and used to come here years ago in the 50s and 60s. It was one of my favourite destinations. It remains so, in fact now one of my favourites pubs in the UK. Full of the original decor and now with great locally brewed beers, superbly kept. The food is terrific, we ended up eating lunch and dinner on five occasions during our four day stay in the area. The staff extremely pleasant, friendly and engaging. And they work very hard ! Dogs, not just allowed, but made extremely welcome, like it used to be in old pubs before the ‘fun police, health and safety, E.H.O.’ brigade arrived years ago and tried to spoil it all. Great value throughout, unable to praise it enough, and will definitely be returning, …. soon I hope.

Got there just before it closed and Ollie was very nice and polite, despite probably having a very busy day. He didn't even ask for my NHS badge (he saw I was tired and dead behind the eyes) and wished me a good rest of day. Such a simple thing, but it made me happy and very appreciative of my coffee! Thank you, Ollie, I hope you get a raise! (The coffee was spot on too!)

Food and drink was really nice but they were so slow 🦥 😴

Never been before so thought we’d check it out! Cafe gave garden centre vibes, busy, plenty of menu choice and large cakes. Was not wowed by the English breakfast. But sausages good quality so always a win! Generous portion. But I wish it had of come with beans! Instead I got cress on top which seems strange On a full breakfast but went with it! Food came pretty fast. We visited on a weekday. The waitress was friendly and polite.

This cafe used to be so good and friendly. I’ve been here many times but the service depends on which person is serving. There is a very miserable older lady who is quite rude to some customers. I asked for something adjusted on the menu and there was a whole staff meeting about it - in the end I just said not to bother. It has become overpriced and understaffed

Lovely staff, a great drink and helpful free wifi. Previous reviews had been quite negative but it was clean and as any other starbucks would be
