The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East of England

Had treated my mum to Afternoon tea will not be going back.Was very surprised at the lack of variety in the sandwiches also they were not the normal finger sandwiches more like doorstops , crusts were left on,Some of the scones were so hard it’s a wonder we didn’t break our teeth,such a shame as we have been there before and it has been very nice.We were informed that they were using different bread suppliers bit of a feeble excuse I can only guess the chef didn’t know how to make finger sandwiches.I did wonder why we were the only ones in there.Certainly wasn’t worth the money.If you like doorstep sandwiches fine if not don’t bother to go waste of money.

I ordered black coffee and got it with caramel on the bottom. Staff said a must said Carmel on the end that is way came with caramel. Very disappointed with the bagel's taste as well. Not fresh as you expect. Spend £9 for both, what a waste of money!!!!!

Dreadful service……. trying to serve order so quickly (even when there was no que). And so proud to hand over 2 incorrect coffees…..hardly any salted caramel sauce, a quick squirt of cream and no sprinkles. Tall guy making the coffee was absolutely incandescent when I asked for the correction. It’s the small things that give pleasure in life…..and when you’re paying through the roof for a shall pleasure you want it to be right! Do better!!!!

After shopping in Woodham Ferrers a great place for a break is Costa Coffee, the staff there are very friendly & they can provide you with a good cup of coffee & a nice cake for a very reasonable price.

What did I like about the place….Not a lot, staff helpful. Breakfast was nice but extortionate. The disabled room was not fit for purpose. Furniture layout wrong. Crick in neck to watch tv and phone on wall out of reach. Bathroom, handbasin too small no place to put toiletries and no handwashing gel at basin or towels nearby. Room was also located a long way from reception if you are a manual wheelchair user!!! Restaurant food massively overpriced and mediocre…I’d have rather gone to Macdonalds and I don’t like Macdonalds !!!

Small, basic but does the job. Nice food, small menu but covers most needs. Clean toilets. Good and fair prices. Starting to display Christmas items.

Massively overpriced..3.65 for a flat white that was served luke warm... not impressed waiting for the fancy leaf design created in the froth...just wanted a hot, fresh coffee... dreadful

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

Tub and Cone were booked for a leavers party. Food was fantastic, great variety and reasonably priced. Made a lovely treat for the leavers. Thank you

Hadn't been here for ages as it is not the best of places for refreshments. We called in today to get a refund for some slippers that started to fall apart after less than two weeks. Person serving not very bright ! I put the defective slippers on the counter with my receipt at the side of them. I told him one of the slippers was falling apart after less than two weeks. In typical robotic style he uttered, "Have you got your receipt ?" Help!! As we were in there we decided we would just have a tea and cappuccino before walking back for the park and ride bus to return to our car. Queue was not too long but service was, as usual, so slow. The walking art gallery woman serving ought to have her long dyed blonde hair tied back as she was flicking and shaking it about all the time and where food is involved this is not good hygiene practice. Then, as we were sitting and having our drinks we, and several others, were shocked by a bang as a roof tile dropped down on an unfortunate customer sitting a few seats away. Luckily he didn't appear to be injured. I was shocked as well as I have PTSD. There was an area that was screened off for work in progress but it was inadequately guarded and the seats and table should never have been as close to the screened area as they were - as this poor chap discovered ! All in all, a very eventful visit but for the wrong reasons.

I have visited this Caffe Nero many times over the years but today will be the last of those visits. They are supposed to serve strong Italian coffee but what did we get - BROWN WATER. They can no longer claim that this is Italian coffee as any Italian would be embarrassed by that claim. Avoid this Caffe Nero at all costs, it is actually worse than Starbucks and that is really saying something!

Popped in late afternoon and had cappuccino and chocolate twist pastry 👍 Not a big fan of Costa but found it all to be ok and staff friendly enough. What I can’t believe is how scary walking around Peterborough is nowadays with people lurking around and being intimidating. I won’t be returning!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas Menu. Friendly welcome and good service. We had the Christmas Menu which is 3 courses for £21.95 had to be ordered in advance but that was not a problem. Good choice and food cooked well and also good quality. Especially enjoyed the brandy sauce on the Christmas pudding. Will definitely eat here again.

As English Heritage members we call in at Audley sometimes for a snack on the way past. After our last visit in August I wrote to English Heritage to complain about the café but have not had any response so I decided to leave this review. My concerns were several - young staff with no supervision and rushed off their feet ( not their fault ). Food uncovered on a counter extremely close to where people were queuing and walking past. This is a serious hygiene matter. ( E.H. need to take a look at National Trust cafes ). Tables dirty full of used crockery and leftover food. There was a trolley for customers to use but tucked in a corner. Take a picnic, there are beautiful grounds to sit in and tables near the house which I might add is magnificent.

Overpriced! one hard sausage in a roll, very disappointing. Jacket potatoes £5.95 any additional filling a quid, same with omelettes, wouldn’t mind if the quality was good but it’s not. Don’t recommend
