Assington Country Kitchen in Babergh

Can't comment on food as when we arrived cafe shut!! Apparently closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays!!!! Went back to Willow Trees Farm and had delicious meal.

Great lunch and great service all served with a smile by the lovely Staff. We really enjoyed our meals. Thank you to everyone at Assington Country kitchen for looking after us so well.

30+ of us booked in here for our Christmas Lunch. We had a wonderful meal, starters like Country Paté, prawns in Tempura Batter, Homemade soup etc. Mains were traditional turkey but also Pork, Salmon en Crute and more. They coped with a noisy crowd and all our meals were perfection. The shop part of this venue was stuffed with lovely Christmas gifts, gardening bits and unusual kitchen and cooking items. All in all, it's a bit of an Aladins cave!

Visited as a party of four friends/family for lunch. We ate outside as had my dog with us. Service was poor and unprofessional. Staff totally disinterested and unhelpful. Disliked paying for food and drinks at table at time of ordering. Bizarre system of bringing out each person's drink/food individually (waitress made four trips to table with one drink on a tray at a time???). Food was pleasant enough but extremely small portions and vastly overpriced for what was served.

Excellent food, fresh veg, very friendly efficient staff, lovely atmosphere! Highly recommend. Mrs Buckett

A very disappointing meal last week with friends. The escalope of chicken with panko crumbs (supposedly) was very thin and dry on a bed of Caesar salad which didn't remotely taste like a Caesar salad. Lukewarm frozen chips and cold plates. Maybe I just chose the wrong dish!!!

Super room, large and roomy and very pleasant .The food today let it down sadly .3 of us ladies all had tartiflette , which was used with previously cooked jacket potatoes barely any leak and no mushrooms ( which were advertised ) Left most . Very disappointed.

Food amazing, hospitality amazing and very welcoming to dogs. Just an amazing achievement to be dog friendly and cater to them. Nothing was too much effort and the food was banging!

We've been numerous times, tea and cake, lunch and breakfast, never been disappointed with the service or what they served.

Visited after a circular walk near Assington. Had chicken panko but it was a bit tasteless. Desserts were good and so was the service.

Wont be returning, greeted by clueless teenager, waited 20mins for 4 cold drinks. Then ordered 2 ploughmans, they arrived and I nearly asked where the rest was. Two small pieces of ham, a piece of chedder and a slither of brie, half a baguette, a thimble of some sort of pickled chopped onion, a thimble of the most revolting chutney I've ever tasted and a small salad absolutely dripping in oil. For £12 i feel I've been robbed. Toasted teacake that we ordered had seen better days. Not once were we asked if everything was ok. Very poor.

A group of us booked for a cream tea £17.99 pp, the pots of tea and a few coffees arrived then some crockery then milk. We waited a while for the finger sandwiches, scone and small cakes but by then the second cups of tea were luke warm and a bit stewed, so we ordered more pots of fresh tea only to find that we were charged for the second pots of tea !. Other venues provide unlimited tea and coffee with a cream tea. Will not do this again.

Chose to sit outside Tea and coffee arrived, but with no sugar, has to go indoors to speak to waitress Ordered Veg Soup, bread and butter - no bread, once again visit indoors to speak to waitress. Vege Soup was blended and more like Tomato Soup, vegetables were nowhere to be seen Bread finally arrived shaped like a wedge. 3/4 inch one side tapering to a point. Presumably cut by the Waitress, certainly not by a Chef My wife has jacket pototo which looked as though it had been cooked once and then pre-heated Certainly wont be visiting again

We had a really lovely afternoon tea, and changes were made to suit my food intolerances. It was lovely to catch up with malcolm too. The cakes were all tasty and perfect

Really enjoyed our lunch here. The food was excellent and the staff were really helpful. Great outdoor seating, we’re able to sit outside with our dog.

Mid week breakfast while on a bike ride. Really tasty cooked breakfasts, 1 meat and 1 veggie. Lovely food and lovely service. Would recommend.

Staff lovely Service slow , food cold and over priced not a good selection either very tasteless food

Went for breakfast one morning, great service and the set up was good for covid restrictions that have been put in place, friendly staff. Overall a good experience. I would highly recommend going here with the stunning views.

Sat outside ,waited a long time for order to be taken .Received tea and both cups were dirty ,then waited ages for Sandwiches. Service very very slow .

We came here with friends as we are staying in the area , we found it easily with sat nav , service was quick , waitress could have been politer but was ok . The food was good and the breakfast sausages were a good...

We visited the kitchen for a lunch mid-week - the barn is a beautiful location and has a wonderful shop at the front filled with lots of nice home and clothes bits. The cafe area is quite spacious which means it does lack a little...

Perfect place for breakfast or lunch that we discovered last summer. Delicious food with very friendly and professional service. Definitely would recommend to anyone. Well done team.

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Only 2 tables were occupied so they weren’t busy. We waited around 30mins for 2 ample breakfast, 2 pancakes, 1 croissant. Came to £41. Lots of staff not doing very much. Food was ok but not worth...

We called in for a light lunch and was told to take a table although it had reserve sign on it. We sat and waited to be served and nobody came we waited a bit longer but the restaurant was filling up pretty quickly and...

Been here for breakfast & lunch. Good varied menu with daily specials. Can sit inside or outside. Reasonably priced. Food cooked to order so not instant. Good parking. Can get busy at weekends.

We visited this place for the second time on Bank Holiday Monday having previously stopped for just coffee and cake. Understandably it was very busy but the nearly 40 minute wait for sandwiches and an all-day breakfast was excessive. The "hot" drinks we were given...

Dropped in here after walking at Arger Fen. We ordered 2 cream teas (£4.50 each). We were very impressed when they appeared - delicious fruit scone with jam and cream in separate pots (rather than those one-shot plastic containers). The Earl Grey tea was also...

Lovely coffee, very good service and a good atmosphere. Excellent all round. Nice and clean, fairly busy, obviously very popular

Rung to book a table, was told it had to be early, as they were fully booked later. The restaurant was in fact half empty the whole time we were there. Service was poor and dis-organised. Food disappointing, had a roast dinner, the potatoes were...

We’ve been here several times and the quality is always consistent. There’s a lot of choice of both drinks and food, good service and a warm welcome. The small shops on site are a bonus.

Had a business meeting here. Great food, great service and environment. Service was attentive without being OTT. Food and drinks were timely, as was table clearing etc.

We had a lovely meal for my birthday, and I had asked for special care due to food intolerances and it was all no trouble no fuss and beautiful food thankyou.

Been here a few times now for breakfast absolutely lovely food is good staff are great and the plate is nice and warm with the hot food on it nothing worse than hot food and a cold plate can't wait for my next visit

Meeting with a group of friends,eight in total. Lunch mid-week,good food friendly service,all served at the same time,good hot freshly cooked food.

A friend told us to call in for lunch and so glad we did. A good menu with a variety of food. Inside or outside seating with a little play area for children

Called in for lunch to the farm shop as we were early for our holiday cottage. So glad we did, we had the most delicious doorstep sandwiches. It was only a sandwich but the quality of produce used was outstanding. We plan to return for...

Lovely lunch again, food and service are outstanding, huge platefuls and well worth the money. Extension looks fabulous. Can't wait to go back soon.

Hungry and thirsty so we followed the signs from the main Road on and on then a small complex of farm shops and a coffee shop restaurant, very nice.

Lovely place, but customer service could be improved I’m cow’s milk intolerant and asked for a bacon sandwich with no spread to which the lady serving said ‘ok vitalite then’ not being sure if thats it free from dairy and not wanting to risk it...

We visited this coffee shop when driving back from a lovely weekend in Lavenham. We wanted to try somewhere 'off the beat and track' and are so glad that we did. Even though it was towards the end of the day, nothing was too much...

My husband and I and three other couples all enjoyed afternoon tea here today. The presentation of the tea was beautiful and all was delicious! the waitresses were very friendly and helpful.

I come here at least every 3 or 4 months as we have a memorial tree at the nearby Oaklore site and call in for a coffee or light meal on the same visit. Service is always great. The food is always good. Today we...

My wife and I visited for the second time in the last few weeks. Lovely food, excellent staff and service.

Good food,service,friendly staff. All local produce freshly cooked and prepared. Reasonable prices. Worth the trouble of finding ,off the Sudbury / Colchester road.

Took family to Lunch here, Staff are very helpful, The meal was very good except when it came to puds, Several had spotted Dick, which looked and tasted like slices of fruit cake with custead poured over the top. The only other gripe we had,...

I had a choice of plenty of places to eat for my birthday but I wanted to come here. The best locally sourced food, great staff and the new extension looks fantastic and does not look out of place. Certainly value for money and always...

As it was only going to be a small occasion we had our daughters wedding reception here. Everything was amazing, the venue, food and staff. It was after their opening hours but we weren't rushed. I would definitely recommend this venue.

Iv'e had Breakfast and lunch here, the food and service is good, but I think it is over priced. I do not have anything else to say about it, it I just overpriced for what it is.

A large group of us had breakfast at Assington Barn on a Saturday morning. Despite a fairly lengthy wait for our food, we couldn't have been happier when it arrived. The sausages and bacon on the big breakfast special were delicious, and everything else was...

Stopped here for brunch before a walk at Arger Fen and really enjoyed the quality food at good prices. Going to return as there are three more dishes on the menu I want to sample, which is rare for me!

Excellent coffee shop/ restaurant with cakes and lunches. Also gifts etc. For sale too. Excellent selection on the menu. At the moment work is being done on the outside seating area. Car park. Pleasant staff.

What a disappointment! We booked ahead and arrived on time, within minutes of being seated our order was taken. About 20 minutes later our drinks arrived, after a further 25 minutes we asked if our food would arrive soon. We were not offered an apology...

This is a lovely venue for a lunch and we had great food. The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived and full by the time we left. Service was quick and friendly and the menu, although not huge, had plenty of options plus there...

Very friendly staff. The food is fresh locally sourced and tasty. The restaurant is light and airy with a lot of character. Highly recommended

We visited this cafe as we needed to stop for some food before going on to meet family. We found this place simply by searching on google maps for local cafes and followed the signs and directions. It was hidden away which made the feel...

Stopped for lunch and what a treat. The ladies in charge were so accommodating and friendly. The food was very good and reasonable priced. Well worth finding, you will not be disappointed. I did notice that there were some lovely outside tables and a few...

Charming cafe in the heart of the countryside, we had a pot of tea for two and our favourite, toasted teacakes. Lovely location, we bought some of the goodies in the shop while we were there. I can't believe that this has not been listed...
