Came here for a breakfast, was served promptly and politely. Food was tasty, even better they serve sausages from archers so your know you’re getting quality for your money 👌 10/10 will be visiting again.

I visited this establishment over the weekend on my travels through Suffolk as I have heard good things about Edwards. However, my spontaneous food stop left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. The Lady was rude, unwelcoming and filled the establishment with a wholly unpleasant aura. She was more interested in her social life, barely glancing up from her mobile phone to acknowledge my presence. If this is how they deem it satisfactory to treat their customers, I would give Edwards a wide berth when visiting Halesworth.

Had a cracking roast on Sunday. No where else does roast potatoes this good. Fluffy and crispy as they should be. Gravy thick and delicious. I got in early as well so it was still nice and quiet. Perfect after a long, busy week.

I visited over the weekend and found myself incredibly disappointed. This restaurant used to be a regular place to visit for me but now I don't think I'll return. The woman was rude and unwelcoming and made me feel so uncomfortable. She ignored me repeatedly and that's not a way to retain customers. I fear that the new owners are about to run this place into the ground. Such a shame.

Found this delightful cafe on Sunday and got lucky with the last table, we were originally looking for a full English breakfast however were informed that they were doing roast instead, we were glad they were! As we enjoyed our roast beef and roast pork which came with a wide selection of vegetables cooked to perfection... Just how we like them soft and not hard. The roast potatoes were perfectly cooked too, too many times you eat out and they are not crispy. I don't usually like marrow having tried it numerous times in the past, but the way they cooked this, I couldn't get enough of it! Only wish we lived closer, can see why it's so popular with locals! Lovely and friendly owner too.

Really, this is just an ordinary local cafe where (we had Sunday Lunch) locals seem to come regularly. Food was just about acceptable - there was plenty of it but the vegetables were overcooked (except the cauliflower cheese that was remarkably nice) and the pork was not freshly-roasted but very very thin sliced pre-cooked stuff. The only saving grace was the price which was on the low side. I suppose one gets what one pays for, but we would not return.

Adding yet again another review to highlight the delicious Sunday roast dinners served at Edwards restaurant . I have not cooked a Sunday roast at home for several years now preferring Kevin's cooking and Karen's cheerful banter whilst serving us. Also food is served fairly quickly which we like and the cost is very reasonable. One has a choice of a small or normal size plate with a good portion of a meat, chicken, lamb, or beef . There is an abundance of different vegetables to help yourself to.

Having got over Christmas and New Year, we decided it was time for a Sunday roast. As Edwards does the best roast dinner this side Neptune, it wasn't difficult to decide where to go. Yet another excellently cooked and presented roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings (apart from stuffing - don't like it - sorry Kevin, not your fault). The boss had roast pork, which she enjoyed so much, she couldn't manage a dessert (first time for everything!) All accompanied by Karen's witticisms. Brilliant.

Decided to have an early turkey roast to get into the Christmas spirit and this place did not disappoint. You’d be crackers not to try the roasts in the next decade, if you’ve not been in before.There was no room at this inn during the lunchtime service. Plenty of fresh cooked veg and lovely gravy to cover the pigs in their blankets.Xmas pudding to follow and then a small enhanced coffee with a mince pie.Fantastic. Sensible price for an excellent meal.

After a trip to the great Halesworth metropolis, the wife brought back (amongst other goodies) a Rocky Road slice and an Eccles cake. Given the choice, the boss chose the choccy one (imagine my surprise). However, (much to my delight) she couldn't eat it all!!! (surfeit of richness - bring it on!!). Consequently I had to eat both the Eccles cake and half the Rocky. Oh joy. Thanks Kevin - you're a star.

I had found Edwards on tripadvisor when we moved to the area as it has brilliant reviews for gluten free food and my husband is gluten intolerant. We finally got around to visiting last month and had a brilliant experience. The owners are friendly and warm, they really made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was incredibly high quality and catering for my husband’s dietary needs wasn’t an issue at all. We absolutely loved our meal here and we will always chose to eat at Edwards when we fancy a day off from cooking ourselves! Highly recommend giving them a visit.

Unable to book for Sunday 4th August as Edwards was closed (Karen's birthday), we had to wait another week for our favourite roast. Well worth the wait. Tender beef and succulent chicken with plentiful tasty veg (don't forget the cauliflower cheese). The better half managed 2 scoops of coffee ice cream and ordered a dessert (can't remember if it was cheesecake or meringue) to take away, intending to eat it in the evening. It was gone as soon as we got home! Excellent value for the best roast in Halesworth (maybe Suffolk?)

Carry on like this and we’ll soon be regulars! Maybe not. I think that Edwards is a daily destination for some local folk, due to a combination of: good, tasty, plentiful food; great prices; a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. This time, I had roast beef whilst my wife had chicken. Both “Normal” size, which is extra large by most people’s standards. As last time, all was perfectly cooked and accompanied by carrots, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower cheese, green beans, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, a huge Yorkshire and a large personal jug of gravy! Oh and huge portions of beef and chicken. I had peach crumble and custard for pud. My wife had lemon meringue pie with cream. One pot of tea. Total? Just under £27. The food here is great, but the banter better still. Make sure you book well in advance. They only serve roast dinners on a Sunday and most tables are booked by the same regulars every week. I just wish we lived in Halesworth permanently as we’d definitely put ourselves down for a weekly booking. Give it a try. You’ll need a long Sunday afternoon walk afterwards to walk your excellent lunch off!

We’d read about Edwards on TripAdvisor and booked for Sunday lunch. Now be warned. If you don’t book, you won’t eat! On the menu is....well Sunday lunch, a roast dinner with chicken, beef or lamb....nothing else. But my, do they do it well! With your choice of meat, you get: carrots, green beans, cabbage, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding and a jug of gravy (with free refills). That’s 7 veg, plus the pud and gravy! Now NORMALLY, you get a choice of a upgrading in a carvery to extra large. Here, you get a choice of NORMAL or SMALL. To explain, small is really large, and normal is really another word for HUGE! But ALL the bills are small. Small is £6.95 and normal is £8.75. I hope that’s clear! Whatever, we had 2 HUGE roast dinners with drinks for under £20. Is that normal for Suffolk? Who knows? All we know is that it’s a quirky tardis of a place. The frontage is about 8ft wide but when you’re inside, it goes back a long way. There are maybe 12 tables for 4. And they’re booked solid every Sunday. So....book well ahead to avoid disappointment. This place is ultra popular with local people. And justifiably so. Good, plentiful, tasty, well-cooked food. Good honest food with no frills. We both had the lamb which was superb. Loads of tender slices of meat. Don’t think normal. Don’t think big. Think HUGE....and then some! Now this is no posh restaurant with crisp linen tablecloths and poncy waiters. It’s sort of a cafe...PLUS. You can have a glass or a bottle of wine, or a beer. So...a small place with big portions of normal food?!?! Try it. Amazing sums it up. And great fun if you get chatting to Karen. You will definitely not be disappointed.....unless you forget to book well ahead that is.

I'm a glutton for punishment (or maybe just a glutton). Sunday roast at Edwards .... chicken, roast and mashed potatoes, fine beans, carrots, AND CAULIFLOWER CHEESE!!! Excellently prepared utilising Kevin's skills and presented accompanied by Karen's acerbic wit. Altogether an exhilarating experience best repeated. I didn't have room for dessert (although the leftovers were taken home for the dogs - they love it too), but she-who-must be-obeyed had a takeaway rhubarb crumble and custard; too weighty to eat in one sitting, she ate it in two - half an hour apart. Yum.

Visited Edwards for (yet another) Sunday roast. I had normal chicken (must try the abnormal chicken one day - probably has three legs) and the Boss had a small beef. Meals arrived excellently (or do I mean perfectly) cooked with lashings of seasonal veg (including sprouts - not been seen for some time - tut tut), and the superb cauliflower cheese. Dunk the whole lot in the supplied gravy (beef and chicken flavour depending) and enjoy! All served to the accompaniment of Karen's wit (free entertainment). Boss chose blueberry cheesecake to take away, but managed to scoff it within 5 seconds of arriving home! Global reports suggest it was luvverly. Kevin - you're an invisible star.

I’ve just eaten lunch here 10/11/18 and if you like good old-fashioned home-cooked food, this is the place to visit. Everything, and I mean everything, even their sweets are home cooked. And, all of the ingredients are locally sourced. I had ‘Palmers’ locally produced sausages with mash and seasonal vegetables. Sad I didn’t have enough room to enjoy one of their traditional English sweets. How nice it was to have a good strong pot of tea made with Tea leaves as well.

Karen still has a witty tongue, but more importantly (for a restaurant - or café if that's your fancy), Kevin's skills still provide succulent chicken (or pork for the missus), with luvverly veg, cauliflower cheese, and gravy (don't forget the cauliflower cheese). All followed (if you can take it) by a dessert to die for (of your choice of course). Keep it coming.

Yet another (yawn) Sunday roast at Edwards, 4 adults plus a (nearly) teen. Excellently cooked chicken, beef and lamb roast (not on the same plate) with appetising veg and potatoes (mash and roast). Yum. Shortcake had run out by the time desserts were ordered (tut!) but the alternatives were gobbled down without complaint. No sign of Kevin (sweating in the kitchen) but Karen kept us entertained - no, she hasn't got a music licence, just a wicked sense of humour.

We were greeted with a friendly welcome, there was lots of choice for all of us and the owner told me she had made a gluten free cheesecake.

We were surprised to see one of the latest reviews for Edwards as this bears no relationship to the restaurant that we enjoy going to on a regular basis. The restaurant is clean and has been tastefully refurbished in recent times. The food is always beautifully cooked and is very tasty - Kevin makes the best poached eggs that we have ever tasted. The menu is varied and the specials put on very day are always delicious. It is always a pleasure to be in here, the owners are clearly interested in their customers requirements but also in promoting Halesworth as a good place to be. Their involvement in the Scarecrow week and pumpkin hunt was great fun and was clearly enjoyed by local children and those who visited during the half term holiday. We would thoroughly recommend Edwards for its great food, excellent service and a generally good place to be

Ok,one up from a greasy spoon,food is average,if a bit expensive,the decor is somewhat faded and dark and the service is a bit iffy,there are better caffs in the town,maybe I caught it on an off day,but I don't feel that I want to repeat the experience just yet.

On one of THE most beautiful October days in living memory, we stopped at Edwards, in the hope that we could invest in a late breakfast at the mid point of our 10 mile Sunday walk. We weren’t disappointed. Lovely toast and locally made ginger marmalade, with good coffee, followed by some lively chatter with the owner over some shortbread and plans for a half marathon. (The only marathons I like are chocolate ones!!)A seat in the sun always assured here. Wouldn’t dare rain on Karen.

We popped in for a light breakfast and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Edwards has been beautiful refurbished since my last visit. Small friendly cafe. To enjoy a light meal or a big feast. Tucked in between the vegetable shop and a clothing shop. This is a great place to rest yourself after a good browse of a hidden gem of a Village that deserves a visit.

Wanted to have Sunday lunch on route to Southwold, found Edwards on Tripadvisor search and the reviews were very good. Booked a table (advisable) the food was smashing, veg done just right, BIG portions, couldn't fault it. Service was outstanding, kept asking if everything was ok. This little gem in the heart of Halesworth is a real find. Will be visiting again soon.

You could walk past a dozen times and miss the door, but once discovered - its great. Just like Mum used to make. Quality food, local veg-perfectly cooked. Everything we've had there from toasties to a full lunch has been very good. Offering small portions for adults as an option is also a brilliant innovation. The Owners are cheerful and friendly and its the sort of atmosphere where you could dine alone and feel comfortable.

Only a small cafe, but really good home cooked food. Clean and cosy. The Staff are all very friendly, helpful and full of fun.

Takeaway of beef lasagne (for me) and 5 bean chilli (her favourite). Excellently cooked and appreciated by both of us. Thanks again Karen and Kevin (and yes, we will bring the plates back soon).

Great food, great atmosphere and great staff. We were made to feel like one of the family. And such great value too when the bill came. Would definitely go again if we were in the area. I recommend this to anyone who wants good food in a friendly atmosphere.

Instead of my everyday lunch of crackers and fruit, some friends persuaded me to have a proper lunch at Edwards - what a treat. There was plenty of choice for a veggie and I was able to have a small portion, leaving room for pudding. The veg lasagne was delicious, along with tasty chips and salad. We were eyeing up the dessert menu, finding it hard to choose from all the options so the wonderful Karen offered us a half-portion of two puddings so we could sample both the Victoria Plum Sponge (with home-grown fruit) and the greengage crumble. It was absolute heaven. On balance I'd say the crumble won as I loved the sharp tang of the greengages but Kevin the chef really knows how to bake the perfect sponge. We all had a super time, the atmosphere is so welcoming and light-hearted, we will certainly not wait for an excuse t go back.

Brilliant meal with lots of home grown vegetables and really tender roast pork and beef. Wonderful puddings. Very generous portions for roast dinner, available in two sizes. Couldn't fault service and staff, very welcoming and great atmosphere. Can't wait to return and would thoroughly recommend.

Wow. What an amazing breakfast here in Halesworth!!! As we sat down, a couple were just leaving and saying it was "the best breakfast in Suffolk" and that is exactly what it proved to be!!!

Run by a local family for over ten years this unpretentious little cafe takes some beating for wholesome local food .There are nice little attentioin to detail , like real teapots , and dont be afraid to ask for substitutions as the owners love you to eat what you like and give them back an empty plate .Leave some room for the desserts or maybe go for a walk around this delightful little town and pop back fro an delicious soft serve ice cream .

I’ve been here for a few afternoon teas and lunches. The food is always lovely and cooked well, the themed afternoon teas are always really fun and a great treat for the local area. However the staff are not very attentive, they give you your food/drinks and leave you! It states unlimited drinks but they don’t ask if you need more, they don’t even check if your food is okay or if you need anything. At one point my friend said ‘excuse me’ and tried getting the attention of staff at the table next to us and the staff member just walked away, when we finally managed to ask for more tea they huffed like we were an inconvenience. There were also loads of hairs on our food, I think they were blowing around because they just kept appearing, maybe because they allow dogs. It’s a shame because I love the afternoon teas but it has put me off.

What an excellent choice of meals, starters and main courses and a specific lunch menu too!! 5 of us all had different meals and a pudding each as well. Everything was perfect. Good value for money too. The pub has been decorated and furnished well - tables not too close together. And the staff were amazingly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Probably one of the best pub lunches we've had for years.
