The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East of England

Surprising find in this pretty Suffolk village. Dedham has all the necessary shops, carefully positioned in original buildings, no garish signage here and The Old Bakery Cafe is no exception. It’s a somewhat spacious and neat enterprise tucked away on a corner with plenty of free parking to be had close by An instant recognition and friendly greeting from the staff, and neatly spaced out tables held menus for breakfast / brunch, lunch and then our eyes were taken by a cabinet of cakes for those there later for tea. There is no shortage of choice at TOBC. We ate two imaginative and well put together brunch dishes of back bacon, halloumi, chilli jam on sourdough toast with a good sprig of salad leaves, beetroot and baby tomatoes which made a substantial and reasonably priced dish. Excellent coffee too The staff, the menu and the presentation suited us down to the ground. You’ve got it bang-on

FOOD - 5⭐️ The food was amazing, everything was tasty and delicious- and for someone who lived in turkey for 7 years it tasted the exact same. The portion sizing was quite big and I could have done with less chips with the lamb chops. SERVICE -4⭐️ we went on a Friday and it got quite busy. We had a lovely blonde English girl serving us who was very social and polite alongside making us feel very welcome here and not rushing us. Alongside her serving was a young girl lad who was again a polite chappy who had all the same qualities as her. I had to knock a star off of the service tho due to the amount of time the manager spent outside smoking. We were in for no long than an hour and 1/2 and he must of been outside 3 or 4 times whilst the young waiters were left to do everything. When he came in the subtle smell of smoke lingered too which slightly put us off. We also always tip in cash for the staff who served us the most to keep for themself and we saw them put in all in a pot so the main waitress/ waiter probably didn’t get they exact tip from us which was very disappointing due to them doing such a good job. When we come back to leighton- we will be sure to return!

Very friendly staff. The coffee was superb - speaking for the cappuccino & the mocha. Good selection of sweet & savoury accompaniments. Bought the tote bag!

We love this place and go quite often for breakfast, lunch or coffee and cake. Today we had flatbread and iced coffee. Really lovely setting, delicious food and very good waiting staff.

A very friendly and cozy corner with well made coffee, fresh pastries and more. A peaceful break away from the high street. Best coffee in Beccles!

The Breakfast Burrito is fantastic, the staff are amazing, attentive, friendly and caring. They seamlessly cater for my dairy intolerance and now even remember my order which makes me feel at home

Really cute cafe, with lovely staff and an array of tasty food to satisfy all tastebuds. We enjoyed a delicious vegan pancake and milkshake, as well as a healthy salad - cannot recommend enough!

Fantastic pre booked afternoon tea of cakes and sandwiches with plain scones . Originally booked for 4 people but extra person came as well and as we had let them know the day before it was sorted out fine. The food was lovely and so much for £12.95 a head. Service was excellent and very efficient. Would definitely book again.

i had a great time when we hired a room for only £50, for my mums 60th. the staff were lovely and welcoming and couldn’t have been more attentive. the hot drinks were so refreshing and the wide variety of cakes made it hard to decide between something so yummy to something even yummier! thank you for the great experience and we will be back soon !

Delicious coffee and food, with a good range of healthier alternatives. Always very accommodating to allergies or intolerances with a range of options.

Lovely cafe. Always a pleasure to eat here. The owners are very friendly and we are warmly greeted each time we visit with a nice chat too. The food is delicious and freshly prepared. Can honestly say we have enjoyed every meal we have had here. This is our number one cafe to have lunch. The little talk burger is thoroughly enjoyed by my husband as is the eggs royal. On the whole we feel it’s the best cafe in Leigh-on-sea and definitely worth a visit.

Popped in for lunch and were seated for 20 minutes before an order was taken. Food took another 25 minutes and the Egg Mayo Bacon bagel was served without the bacon. We didnt pay ofr the bagel to be fair but the explanation was they were busy. 11 covers busy. Seems if you are local or known you are welcomed but the rest of us ....... just disappointing

Absolutely fantastic place for food and/or coffee. This place is run by WONDERFUL staff. The chef has a real passion for food. The Saturday night foraging menus are something to write home about. We enjoyed every single bite- Thank you

This cafe was so lovely! From the beautiful decor to the fab service, me and my mum were so impressed! We were both served quickly- we had toasties and a hot drink each, which tasted delicious, and the plates that the food was served on had a lovely flowery design. Also, the toilets were clean and nicely decorated.

A lovely, friendly cafe serving excellent toasties and homemade scones. My mum and I greatly enjoyed our lunch there. I highly recommend it!
