The best restaurants in England

What a find. We were recommended by a friend to come and we were not disappointed. Best local Italian by far. Menu choice was excellent, food superb and service very attentive. I would highly recommend.

We visited Etna restaurant again and it was amazing again the food was superb and it was so large portions thank you chef . And the waitress was very helpful and helpful looking forward to visit again.

We had lunch in October on a sunny day with turned out to be a blessing as we sat outside. Having visited without booking we soon had a table made for us outside in no time and ordered our food and drinks. Coronation chicken sandwich with coleslaw salad and crisps very generous portions and homemade filling delicious. Cake, nan's fruit cake and Victoria sponge we could not believe the portion we had but so tasty, with lovely latte coffee we left full but satisfied. Would recommend booking but there seems to be lots of seating options. Lovely people serving very attractive and polite. Definitely coming back.

Such a lovely evening. Really nice atmosphere, great food! Order the PKFC, you won’t be disappointed. Robbie our waiter was brilliant, super friendly and really attentive. Thank you! Little gem.

we would highly recommend this place, very friendly service, delicious food, beautiful scenery, and a cool retreat from the heat. overall a very lovely and relaxing experience.

Marley’s ambience is that of a hug, warm and welcoming. The food lives up to that promise - cajun-salted corn on the cob done rib-style, lime and chilli squid, succulent tuna steak and the creamiest cheesiest risotto you could ask for. The local beer and wine were delicious, too.

Lovely coffee Friendly staff Excellent choice of delicious looking cakes- which I managed to resist! but enjoyed the chocolate that came with the coffee Our second visit and will return on the next visit to Holt. Toilets available.

Our favourite place by the harbour at any time of year, for coffee and cake or lunch....Lovely staff, great food. 🐶 too.

Popped in again for refreshments briefly whilst out cycling. Every time I go in I’m met with a smile from the friendly staff and owners. Love this place and its position in the village is great for people watching. Today I had an oat flat white and a piece of amazing tortilla. Thanks again.

Simply superb afternoon tea in elegant surroundings, with friendly service. Lovely “extras” - book in and find out what they are! Highly recommend this tea.

Great place! Authentic food! Great customer service! Thank you Yaseen!

Been to this wonderful place before. The food is absolutely to die for. The service is brilliant, friendly and professional. This is our definitely our favourite place to go.

Had a lovely birthday meal at Khatri’s in December. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food was tasty and well prepared. We especially liked the paneer dhansak, the peshwari naan, and the paneer biriyani

Great service as always the service is always good and the Vegan menu is really good We have searched Southend for other places and not found anywhere as good

The owner made my day, really nice man and great service. Food was 10/10 could not recommend more! Wouldn't let us leave without a free dessert (which was … banging). Fire sauce also bangin styll
