Anglia – Restaurants

This is the restaurant of The Imperial Hotel, which is Great Yarmouth’s only 4 Star Hotel. The Hotel has comfortable bedrooms, a stylish gourmet restaurant and one of the finest wine lists in the region. Set in a relaxed area on Great Yarmouth seafront overlooking the beach and sea, this family-run 4 star Hotel has been welcoming guests for generations and attracts people from all around the area for memorable meals at its Café Cru Restaurant. Only the finest and freshest ingredients are used by three of Norfolk’s award winning chefs who offer delicious modern British cooking. The food is complemented by the service which is always professional and courteous.

This has been a very favourite haunt of Anglia for years. We aim to spend a weekend there every second year, and this pleasure dates back to about the mid 1980’s.

The much loved ‘Viela’ restaurant in Lincoln has been transformed from a Brazilian Barbeque Restaurant into ‘Straits Brasserie’, with the same accomplished management team. Their team have a new menu, offering a seasonal à la carte menu, Brazilian classics and traditional Lincolnshire favourites. Using top quality and home grown ingredients, their seasonal choices maintain the same quality that ‘Viela’ celebrated. They also offer outside catering, specialising in barbeques for informal parties, weddings and corporate events. They are centrally located at the lower end of The Strait at the bottom of Steep Hill in Lincoln.

From its earliest days in the 15th Century when the village was a centre for trade, The Bell served as a coaching inn, as can well be seen from the courtyard and the archway with its gallery above. Stage coaches would carry farmers to and from the corn markets at Aldgate, as well as other travellers to and from the metropolis, and to the boats at Tilbury which crossed the Thames. The pub has a long history of accolades such as "Food Pub of the Year 2003" as recorded in the Morning Advertiser.

Stuart Fay is our new Professional Member and we enjoyed a really good lunch there in Spring this year - the canapes and vin d’honneur and the sunshine made it a very memorable occasion!

The George of Stamford is one of England’s greatest coaching inns. It retains the charm and atmosphere of its long history yet offers today’s guests every modern comfort.

A fine restaurant is what distinguishes a great hotel from a good one. In magnificent oak-panelled surroundings, traditional yet imaginative English dishes of the highest quality are accompanied by a wine list rated as "outstanding" in both the Egon Ronay and Good Food Guides.

More informal meals are served in the light and airy Garden Lounge or outside in the ivy-clad courtyard, when the weather smiles.
