Lovely, friendly staff. Good food, reasonably priced, and good service. Booked for evening meal with friends. Tables spaced nicely so not hearing other people’s conversations. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was good, reasonably priced. Not hurried or rushed to place order or to finish courses. Definitely go again.

The best Italian food in the area set in a lovely restaurant on the side of the Angel hotel. Lovely size potions at very reasonable prices. We shared a 7” Pizza to start and it was one of the best Pizza’s we have ever eaten. Good selection of main dishes, all presented lovely, piping hot and tasted delicious. Very friendly, helpful staff. A must visit if in the area.

We had such a great meal. The food was interesting and cooked perfectly. I've never tried duck with rhubarb before - a real find. All the staff were lovely but a special mention to Amelia, our waitress, who was just perfect. If we lived nearer we would visit regularly. Thank you.

Visited this establishment for a meal on recommendation ! The menu was substantial, very nice lady called Cleone seemed to be in charge, as we have had an Italian meal called Porchetta at other hotel's before but this version was superior to anything we have tried before ! They need to keep this meal on the menu as it was a show stopper! Well to the chef.

The menu selection was good, the food served was tasty...if lacking in quantity on the mains for the price though, the staff were attentative to a point (I'll get on to that later) the ambience...the ambience was very bad. Its worth noting the room has a high ceiling and is pretty much void of many soft furnishings bar a few rugs drapped over the walls so the sound echos and reverberates making conversations difficult to hear. We had been pre warned by a number a freinds about the noise level in the room but we took that with a pinch of salt. Alas there was an issue with noise far beyond what we where expecting. The night we took our family we were positioned by what we mistook for an open doorway or putting it another way a doorway without a door, which we took as being like that so the staff could carry drinks through from the bar. Right next to this door on the other side of the wall is a seated entrance area to the bar where on our night about 30 locals spent the whole night screaming, swearing and getting drunk. The noise level was deafening in the dining area where we were sitting, we might as well had been sitting smack bang in the middle of the crowd, this noise permutated the whole dinning area but we had the full effect in stereo. After about an hour someone walked into the room and closed the door, to our dismay, shock and disbelief we could suddenly hear ourselves talk, hear that there had been music piped into the room all that time and questioned why oh why did the staff who are stationed right next to the doorway not close the door earlier. To be honest when we walked in none of us noticed a door was present as it was already open, as stated we assumed there was no door to aid the serving staff. We raised the question with the young staff who had been very attentive to us all night, can't fault them there, as to why they didn't think to close the door when the barage of screaming, shouting and swearing which had been relentless for the whole time we were there was obviously too much to bare when paying good money to eat out. Their answer pretty much summed up to 'yeah it does get very loud but if it was a problem you should have closed the door'...if any of us knew there was a door then we WOULD have closed it but to be honest the staffs attentiveness should have prevailed to understand, by their own admission that the noise was far too loud and there's a regular issue with noise that the simple act of closing the door and keeping it closed would be the correct procedure to make the dining experience a pleasant one. On the way out we bumped, figuratively not literally, into the manager, we raised the issue with her about noise and staff taking initiative, let's just say she was as far removed from listening to constructive feedback as someone could get, verging on rude and belligerent. So eat there, the foods nice, if somewhat tiny on the portions and take some ear defenders to drown out the rabble and prey you don't have to give any feedback to aid them into a better experience going forward because you'll end up with a very sour taste in your mouth, especially from the manager.

I looked on line for high rated resaurants, Cleones was not one of them but a local said how good it was. My wife and I were passing through and took his word for it. Result was that we had a lunch which spoilt the day. The food lacked any presentation. The meats in the antipasti were OK but we could not taste the tiny lumps of cheese in a bowl and the tastless white bread only served to soak up the oil in the naff pot of vinegar & oil. My wife had a Quatro pizza which was supposed to have a thin (!) base. The kitchen got the number correct; mushrooms dumped in one quarter, the other three quarters had: slices of chorizo, cheese and something with bits of pineapple. I had a lasagne which I was about to return it to the kitchen because it was just warm on the outside then I found a warmer middle - Lucky me! This place only gets two stars because the service was good.

Staying at the Angel Hotel, I decided to reserve a table for dinner in their Italian restaurant Cleones. And it was just as well that I did, because as the evening wore on the staff were turning people away.I had a delicious linguine with clams and prawns in a light creamy sauce and a wickedly delicious ice-cream. Being on my own I was able to catch a glimpse of some of the other dishes being carried past me, all of them looked very tempting. I was very well-looked after on what was a busy evening and though they had a lot to do, the staff remained calm.

Really sngry about the parking at this restaurant I ended up with a parking ticket that is taking forever to be sorted. The restaurant need to be more vigilant and explain to customers if they have parked in the car park u need to register ur car registration. We looked for a payment machine nothing in car park to tell u what to do. I have ended up with a £100 fine . Really ruined our special dinner and the staff are just defensive stating it’s been like this for a year. We last visited 2 years ago , we live 200 miles away and arrived in the dark. Still trying to get the ticket cancelled as we were legitimate customers of the restaurant. I would not recommend going , the food is nice but the experience totally ruined by the restaurant employing an aggressive car parking company

Cosy restaurant in a lovely building with nice staff, so would love to give a higher rating, but I have to rate based on my experience eating vegan food here. There were few vegan options on the menu. The cauliflower and rosemary soup I had as a starter was nice, but wasn't cheap. Also, the vegan main option (they only have one labelled vegan main on the menu) was quite basic and not that flavourful - essentially just pasta, mushrooms, courgette and garlic, priced at over a tenner. Nothing special, and at that price I can't deny that the main course left me feeling a bit ripped off.

To start, I'm reviewing the 'pubby' end of this establishment, which I thought was called The Angel. We often pop in for lunchtime sandwiches and drinks, along with the obligatory bowl of chips. For three people this will tot up to around £25. Great choice of sandwiches and baguettes, served with crisps and a small dressed side-salad. Nice atmosphere here, you can imagine it being one of the main social hubs of the town. Good choice of newspapers to peruse as well. It feels like what used to be called a very civilised establishment, a term you don't hear so much these days . . . .

My wife rated this restaurant an easy 4 stars, as her food was very good, no question. Mine however, as I had gluten and dairy intolerance was just about OK, no more. This restaurant did what used to happen a lot back in the old days when I really used to struggle. That is, they obligingly took stuff out of the dish, but made no effort to put stuff back in (alternative stuff). So I ended up with a dryish pasta dish which wasn't that great, Id already found it a bit hard work as there was no one in the restaurant at all when we arrived, so had to go find somebody, to be then treated as if we weren't really that welcome, and then we had a hard time to to get a bit larger table, despite the place being only half booked. The tables for 2 are very small indeed. So all in all it was a pleasurable evening, wine was good, and side orders good, but a bit of a let down from the care of the customer perspective. Sorry. I Ould have mentioned at the time, but id already had a couple of requests that were treated as if they were hard work, so wasn't in the mood for any more of it.

Lunch burger was awful, came with hard fries and salad thrown on a plate. Totally inedible expensive food. Coffee was good.

Just 2 of us for lunch but thoroughly enjoyed it. Drinks first and then a full menu to choose from. The roast beef looked delicious and the Red Thai Veg Curry was delicious.

Lovely lunch for 4 adults and 2 children, one being only a one year old and having dairy allergy which was no trouble when ordering for him which is often a worry when out. He really enjoyed his meal! I had the calzone which was freshly made and lovely. Great menu choices, literally everything you could want to choose from and if small or big lunch. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and music. Not very easy to get into with steps everywhere though, toilets need a refurb too but great time overall so doesn’t matter. Was very busy bank holiday lunch at 12 so good job we booked!

The Angel back Bar is simply everything you need to assure that you are in Suffolk in good hands. I leave the train, grab a Ghost Ship ale and the best pizza this side of Soho. Can’t be beat. Thank you The Angel and Cleone’s.

O n arrival we were greeted by friendly staff.The room has a warm cosy feel about it. The food was excellent and portion size was right. The house red wine was good value for money.

Excellent Sunday lunch. The roast beef with all the trimmings could not be faulted. Roast beef is always tricky to get right and this was just right. The rest of our party had the roast chicken and sea bass and this was of the same high stand. Portion size just right. At £9.95 and with a well kept pint of Adnams I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Visited this area recently and after reading good reviews, booked a table at Cleone's and had a very good meal. We had a pasta dish with spinach and the Boar stew and both were good portions and had nice flavours accompanied by a nice red from Adnams. Followed by a good choice of puddings and a coffee, the meal was about £63 which we thought was decent value and it was a pleasant atmosphere

Went to Cleone's restaurant today with a friend for lunch. Efficient service and lovely pasta dishes. I had the vegetarian one Fusilli with tomatoes, mushrooms and red onions. Friend had pasta with salmon. Both very tasty. Will return again. Restaurant busy and bar even busier, therefore remember to book in advance.

Although we live nearby this was our first evening meal at Cleones and it certainly won't be the last. We had booked for 6.30pm on Saturday and the restaurant soon filled up with happy people tucking into delicious food. My pizza giardiniera had a generous amount of topping and was simply delicious, as was our friend's pizza marinara, and my partner was very pleased with the boar and chorizo stew with polenta. We ended our meal with excellent ice cream and coffee.

Our first time eating here in the evening when it a purely Italian Restaurant (at lunch time you can choise from the bar menu as well) I know it won’t be out last.

We have eaten here before, but never for Sunday roast. As usual it was hard to get a table as we didn't book, (always a good sign) but after a short wait we found a table in the back bar. Not the best seats in the house, but we were pleased to have a table. There are chairs all along the back bar itself, which makes it difficult to order. I was eventually noticed and placed our order for food and drink. After tasting my Adnams Bitter I realised it wasn't Bitter, rather one of their stronger beers. I've drunk Adnams Bitter for the last 40 plus years, living only 200yds from the brewery. .I told the barman and he changed it, but in doing so argued that my first drink was Bitter. I knew it was different by the look and the taste, but left it at that.

Lovely food, had starters and desserts, very hidden inside of another pub, you walk inside and Cleones is at the back of the pub in a separate area. Lovely local little village

This is not a very big place and they only seem to have one sitting. They opened at 6 and we were booked in for 6:30. Every table was full but it wasn't too noisy and there was some background music but it wasn't too loud. We all really enjoyed our food and had a lovely evening. Our waitress was really good too, although she kept telling us that she didn't work there any more she had just been called in to help out. Parking nearby wasn't easy, but that's not the fault of the restaurant. My only complaint is that I was sat on a bench seat and it wasn't very comfortable. It was ok after I folded my coat and sat on that though. I let my wife and my sister sit on the chairs opposite and they didn't have any complaints about their seats.

I attended bottomless brunch on Saturday, at 1:30pm, I understand it’s 90mins of unlimited food and drinks (from the set menu) perfect! We got settled in, we ordered a round of Prosecco spritz cocktails, and 2 cokes. They came swiftly, alongside our starter courses. There was only 1 other table in the restaurant which consisted of around 8 people. So it wasn’t busy. We were tucking into our starters. The way the man (I assumed it was the owner, darker haired man) spoke to the young waitress in front of us was awful. He openly told her to “go over and stand around and smile and start clearing the plates” so they’d “hurry up and finish”. So I wondered if he was going to do the same to us. Anyways the food came out and was lovely, only down side was one of us didn’t like goats cheese pizza so declined, he then didn’t offer her any more of the pizzas after that that were brought round, so she only enjoyed one slice. The pizzas were cut into 8 pieces but instead of leaving them on the table for us to pick what we want we were given one slice each n the rest was taken away.. before we had finished the last piece of pizza he came over to collect our plates, one of us hadn’t even finished and he was stood next to her waiting for her to finish cutting her pizza and put it in her mouth so he could clear her plate. At this point we were on our 3rd round of Prosecco spritz and we were told we would have to drink up as they had no more wine glasses to make fresh ones in, which I don’t mind drinking out of the same glass but they were all collected at the same time and I don’t think it was noted who’s glass was whos! It was 2:50 and the man came over and cleared the plates as I said, said quite aggressively “what desserts we ordering”. Desserts were ordered, and brought over at 2:55 along with our last drinks. He hovered around us, making me feel very uneasy. It got to just past 3 pm and we were chatting away, and eating our desserts which too were lovely. To then be approached by the man and was told “look it’s past 3pm and we close at 3 technically, and I want to go home so can we hurry it up” My reply was “well we are nearly done” So one of us asked for the bill, whilst we were still eating. They brought it over we paid what we owed. Leaving a tip for the young lady waitressing. As I myself felt very sorry For. I get that it is for 90 minutes but I feel we were very rushed, we didn’t order anything at 3, but he wanted to be out of there dead on 3, so why allow people to book at 1:30?? I won’t be returning unfortunately, which is a real shame as I felt the food was lovely and the service from the waitress was top notch, but this man made the rest of the experience awful.
