Fox and Goose in Mid Suffolk

We had an amazing meal there, staff were great!

Sunday lunch here today was quite superb: amazing food, smiley, knowledgeable service, relaxed atmosphere, and a beautiful setting. We enjoyed rillettes of confit duck and cauliflower/blue cheese panda cotta, then hake fillet with sweet potato and lemon purée; fillets of sea bream with carrot and ginger purée; desserts were pear and d hazelnut cake; mango cheesecake with orange and cookie dough sorbet. All faultless. We will definitely return.

As usual excellent food and great service.

Visited today to a quite exceptional and well priced experience. Six courses of stunning food. All were beautifully presented with amazing flavours. Chef is quite playful with the flavour combinations, so be prepared to be challenged. Highlight for both of us was the amazing beef accompanied by the most amazing roast potato I have ever eaten. Both desserts were delicious but very different. Toilets were up windy stairs, it is a beautiful listed building so constrained in what they can do. Staff are lovely if a little abbreviated in course description. Had hoped to meet chef but the place was full on a Tuesday lunchtime! We drove a round trip of nearly 200 miles, was it worth it? Goodness yes!

We had a lovely lunch, with attentive staff, in the medieval dining room on the left. This was to celebrate my son’s birthday and they had printed Happy Birthday at the top of the menu for him. Tables were set with white linen, polished glassware and the room had tables set at discreet distances. The food was excellent, beautifully presented. Excellent wine list, we chose a house red and was good. There were several options, not just a roast, with inventive starters. Check out the menu. I would highly recommend this lovely restaurant for any occasion, in a beautiful setting.

Very nice meal and great service - all for reasonable price! We had the tasting menu which at £60 per person was very good value (the table d'hote menu also looked very good). We particularly liked the sea bream main course and also the coconut mousse dessert, but of course with the tasting menu you get to try it all.

My husband and I had a voucher for a 2 course lunch and we used it today. We were greeted by a member of staff as soon as we arrived and shown to our table. The service was good and not rushed. The members of staff who served us were chatty and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and they were very happy to accommodate any requests we made. My husband is trying to follow a low fat diet and the member of staff who was taking our order offered to go through the menu with him to enable him to choose the best options. We will definitely choose to visit again thank you

Cannot say, and never had said anything about this restaurant other then, its a fabulous place to visit. The food is soo good and it never lets you down. Everyone is so pleasant and they always have a welcome for us when we go , which is quite often!!

Amazing meal! Staff very attentive and friendly. Didn’t wait long for the meal. Everything was 5 Star. The tase of everything was separate tho together. Be back soon .

Amazing food and service in a tiny country village - loved it

Great staff, great food. Local produce, well cooked. Very enjoyable. If I must nit-pick, the car park is small but not a real problem as there is parking on road.

A firm favourite for a special occasion. Sheer perfection. 👌

We treated our niece and her husband for lunch here to celebrate her 40th birthday - what a treat it was. We have eaten here many times before and Sunday lunch lived up to, and exceeded our expectations. What amazing food, the roast beef and the roast potatoes were just the best. A lovely atmosphere in the smaller downstairs room with beautifully laid up tables with fresh linen. The staff who served up were superb, so professional. It was a first class experience in every way, and we can't wait to return. We only wish this superb eatery was near us in Devon, not 6 hours away in Suffolk!

Always a treat ....food always special and great service last Thursday night.The sea bream was best ever

Fabulous welcome Fabulous menu Fabulous service Fabulous food Think that says it all Well worth the long drive Very much enjoyed by all 18 family members for 50th birthday celebrations

Had a great meal .excellent service & customer attention . We would love to come again when we are in the area

The service was exceptional. The staff were so attentive and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a table of 18 people for a birthday party. Every meal was perfect. Very well presented and so tasty. Highly recommend this wonderful place.

Never disappointeds , if you want a special meal its the to go ,amazing food ,great service

Always very very good on all fronts.

We chose the taster menu and all I can say is 10 out of 10 for the food. It was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The service was exemplary and we could not fault the evening in any way. Highly recommend.

This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in many years, namely because there was a good choice for vegetarians & the food I chose was excellent throughout. Too often vegetarians aren’t catered for fully & yet here, at The Fox & Goose, there was an excellent choice. The food was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented (all 3 courses). Service was attentive, well paced and friendly. The atmosphere in the restaurant was calm and leisurely. (Oh, and my husband had a good dinner, too!)

Fantastic food with excellent service, love this place

Set menu excellent quality and good value. Very attentive and pleasant staff. Clearly a very talented chef who knows how to enhance the flavours of his dishes

The food is always exquisite, creative flavour combos and beautiful styling. All the serving staff are so friendly. Best restaurant in the area

Wonderful food, faultless service, good wine selection, friendly and courteous staff, having been here several times I have never been disappointed. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Was able to make a booking for the bar area online an hour before but would suggest booking much earlier for the dining room. The food was very well cooked, perfectly seasoned & presented; the local asparagus and lamb being the stand out dishes. Service from the two ladies was traditional with a smile. The view onto the church grounds adds to the old style feel.

A proper restaurant in a beautiful village setting. I like to sit in the less formal downstairs pub area, all wooden beams and warmth. Great food, friendly service and a good value set lunch menu for a high end restaurant meal. I will go back again and again!

Found myself with an evening to kill so finally checked this out after hearing about it for years. What an excellent experience! I went for the two course restaurant menu (not the more traditional bar menu). Courses came with unexpected and very welcome tasters / treats before and after, which made it much more of an experience. Beautifully presented. Delicious. Excellent staff, attentive but not not overbearing. Lovely building. Couldn't fault any of it. You sometimes get forgotten as a lone diner, but the staff made for a lovely evening. Thank you.

Popped in to the Fox and Goise Fressingfield 2.15pm on a Sunday, when the kitchen for dinners had closed but after quick check, we could order to eat. All the staff were friendly and professional. Everything is very nicely done, good qulity nappkings, water jug and two glasses without asking, side plates with rolls prior to your ordered food. There is parking at front, with seating under umbrella by a little pond. Inside is nicely decorated and presented well. The food was good quality. I would recommend a visit

Excellent food fantastic lovely staff and service at a good price

Really good Sunday roast, beef was nice and pink and tender. Staff were friendly and attentive

My first review ever. Totally bowled over by the quality of the food and the amazing service at this place. The menu was adventurous if you had the specials. The wine was good and not stupidly marked up like so many places. The staff were really attentive and always made eye contact as they passed by to ensure that you were being looked after. We’ve been to lots of “Gastropubs” is East Anglia but this rates amongst the best. Up there with The Unruly Pig.

We have eaten here for at least 16 years or more on our frequent visits to Suffolk. The food is superb and innovative and far surpasses some Michelin restaurants we have eaten at. I require gluten and dairy free food and they always go the extra mile to ensure everything is fine for me. What impresses is that they offer at least 3 desserts catering for my dietary requiements and they are always different and unique. In most places I just get offered vegan ice cream or sorbet we think that the prices charged are very reasonable when you consider the time, the best ingredients and presentation involved. The staff are always very pleasant and helpful. We think it's the best value restaurant in Suffolk.

A lovely experience from beginning to end! Great food served with efficiency and charm. My wife and I and our guests all enjoyed ourselves very much. Thank you very much!

Excellent greeting, fantastic service and the food is always a gastronomic delight. We celebrated my wife's major milestone birthday and one could not fault any aspect of the evening. Always a pleasure and experience. Thanks to all for the additional birthday touches that made the night extra special.

Visited whilst staying with my Sister and Brother in Law. Amazing. Loved the welcome, atmosphere , our table in the window and the food.....wow, attention to detail certainly first class here. We will return.

My wife and I moved to a village close by in 2018 (we have moved since!). We stumbled upon this restaurant and we still firmly believe that nothing comes close to the quality of the food at the Fox and Goose. We are a bit of a foodie couple and I’d still say this as my number one venue (and we dined at Le Gavroche a couple of years back). A true gem of a place, that isn’t spoken of enough.

A wonderful place to enjoy an evening

We visited on a Thursday lunchtime. The food from the lunch menu was really high quality with good options. Prices were fair and the staff delivered really food and friendly service. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend.

Beautiful steak cooked to perfection and the sous vide apple with hazelnut crumble was beyond delicious. Pub classics executed perfectly with added panache. Highly recommend this place.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. I've eaten here on a number of occasions and the food is always delicious, beautifully presented and served by friendly accommodating staff. This place is something a bit special, so defo worth travelling to.

Drinks soda and blackcurrant 2 pints £9 all other pubs and restaurants I've been in maximum £1-80 a pint in Norwich its 90p as gassed water and dash of blacurrant . Plus meal was a lot of add ons if you did not have normal off menu

We have been going here relatively frequently for nearly fifteen years and never had a bad experience. Highly recommended!

Love this restaurant, pretty much one of our favourites! We were welcomed and shown our table downstairs which we had requested, all perfect as usual . The 3 course lunch menu was offered and quite varied still. The only disappointment was the fish cake starter, my favourite! It was definitely smaller, had very little fish , ( only 2 prawns ) and mainly potato! I would have preferred to pay an extra pound for a spoonful more fish. Our main meals were ,as usual , very good. It was a pity that the “ lemon meringue “ was not a traditional one , with beautiful crisp topping…. These de- constructed ones can be a disappointment……

This is why I love living in East Anglia. This is as typical a local village pub experience you will have around here. A lovely old building in gorgeous surroundings any time of the year, a homely environment inside, warm hospitable service, and lovely feel-good well-cooked beautiful food, washed down by lovely wine. Perfect.

Arranged as a present for my daughter and son-in-law to have dinner here. I have done this before for my son and his partner. The restaurant are very obliging in that they will ring me on the day afterwards so that I can settle the account. What other venue would be happy to do this? On every occasion the couples have reported extremely good service and delicious food. My son said it was the best steak he had ever had. My daughter reported that she had to eat the dessert very slowly as it was so delicious she didn’t want the course to come to an end! Altogether, can’t recommend the Fox and Goose experience highly enough. My wife and I have lunch or dinner here two or three times a year with friends and we have never been disappointed.

Faultless food and service every time we visit and definitely one of our favourite place to eat in Suffolk!

Lovely cosy vibe in the bar area. My vegetarian main was delicious as was my husbands mixed grill. Service was impeccable. I last ate here when it was run by the Clarke family in the 1980’s and am sorry it has taken so long to return. A fabulous place

We chose 'table d'hote' and it was absolutely amazing food, we loved the little extra touches too! Exceptional value and we would highly recommend a visit. Book in advance as there were only 12 covers in the restaurant area.

Lovely food in charming old pub

Probably the tasting menu I've ever had. The fillet beef and the sea bass were outstanding, and the two desserts; just wow. Totally out of the world! The staff were also brilliant, the chef is extremely talented. Fantastic food, fantastic service. Beautiful building and ambience second to none, worth every penny! Will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for making my partners birthday a very special one.

Had an amazing meal for my sister in law's birthday. The food and service was top notch. My only criticism. (It's a small one) Unfortunately you can't have the pub menu while upstairs. The other menu was amazing and they also offer a kids menu. The food was fab and staff very attentive.

The food is superb. This must be the best place for food in a 20 mile radius, or more, surely? Sunday lunch menu was £36 for 3 courses. Free truffles and honeycomb thrown in. Best mushroom croquettes I've ever had. Roast dinner was delicious. Service was attentive, polite, welcoming. Attractive old building. Interesting menu, including the veggie options. Parking. Village setting. My only recommendation would be to offer mint, cucumber, lime etc for the water. I'm sure if I'd have asked I could have received. I should have. Thank you to all who served our table of 12!

Sunday roast was as good as I'd been told it would be.

Lovely setting, great food. Highly recommend

We went for our 27th wedding anniversary and had been told how wonderful the place was. It's not until you go yourself that you realise what a gem this place really is. From the moment you walk in you are made to feel special. Even the menus had Happy anniversary on them. The device was 1st class, and the food was magnificent. We will return.

Probably our favourite restaurant. Been coming here for decades every few weeks. The food is outstanding in taste, ingredients, preparation, presentation and the service wonderful. The old building is wonderful from the outside and even better inside. We take all our visitors to Norfolk here without fail.

Excellent food. Not cheap but not overpriced. As good as you'll find anywhere in the area.

Excellent food, meticulously prepared. Lovely staff and venue, too.

We sat in the bar area which had a nice relaxed atmosphere. The bar menu was extensive and all of our choices were delicious. The service was as good as in the fine dining restaurant area.

We had the best steak ever tonight. The food was gorgeous the service was great . Will definitely recommend it to friends and family.

This was the best meal out we've had in some time. We would have happily had anything on the Table D'Hote menu, which made it difficult to choose! We opted for the rabbit and mackerel for starters, venison and fillet of beef for mains and creme brule and panacotta for dessert. All of our courses were delicious and well presented. The meat was tender and tasty. Everything was perfectly seasoned. The wine was good. The service was friendly, helpful and professional. The atmosphere was cozy and the decor was simple and in keeping with the building. The building is old and beautiful, I liked the simple white walls with the beams and wonky floors. It was lovely to have such high end food in somewhere that felt so homely and comfortable. We will definitely be going back again.

Went for a delightful Sunday lunch with a large group. They catered for my gluten and dairy intolerance superbly.

Do t be put off by the dated sign, this is a little gem Great service and very good food! I'd have had my main twice it was so good and nearly did! I did have two deserts

Oh! Nice find. Almost scared to tell people how good this place is,in case we can't get a table next time. Fine dining! Sooo good

Enjoyed a delightful dinner at the Fox and Goose. Service was friendly and professional, food was excellent. Definitely worth a try even if you have to travel to get there. Will certainly be visiting again!

Gorgeous pub set in stunning village location. The lamb I had for the main just melted in your mouth. All the food was completely faultless, yes a little more pricey but if you prefer the finer things, this is the place for you!

We had a wonderful lunch: service was top notch and food was wonderful. They accommodated our baby so nicely. A great experience, well worth a visit!

Amazing food in this gastro pub - the chef should be very proud. Deserves to be rated among the best pubs in the UK for food.

The best place to eat in the local area. This is where we go when we have a special occasion to celebrate. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is perfect. 10/10

The Fox and Goose enjoys a well earned reputation for fine food and wines. Famous throught East Anglia and beyond, it gets busy here so book your table in early. There is also a lovely bar where one can relax with perhaps an aperitif whilst awaiting the call to table. Nice staff too ! Thoroughly reccomended.

Second visit here, forgot to review first time around. First visit was great, second visit the food seemed even better, every course full of beautifully put together and well thought out elements. Great little touches with pre starters and pre dessert courses which I love to see and is always a nice touch. Staff all very attentive, and the value you get here balances with the quality of food is outstanding.

We normally come to the F & G 2-3 times a year, and its always been a very pleasant experience for us. The Chef's seemed to know how to prepare, present, cook the food on the menu. You might ask well thats what their supposed to do, sadly in my experience a lot of places/chefs loose the plot. We had the Table de Hote at £42 per person, plus wine. My Sea Bream main course was delicious. They bring small tasters between the courses which breaks the meals up and livens up your taste buds for the set dishes, its a pity more establishments do not follow the F & G template, eating out would be mote exciting else where.

What can I say other than superb. From the moment we arrived, the service and the food was just amazing. We booked it for our wedding anniversary and the booking form asked if there was a reason for booking, we had the taster menu along with the wine tasting menu alongside. Every little detail was taken care of to having Happy Anniversary on the top of both our menus. The service was excellent from finishing one course and receiving the next, there was no long wait and they were very happy to serve which made the whole experience truly fantastic. We will definitely be booking again to try more of what the Fox and Goose offers. Thank you for making our anniversary a wonderful experience.

Excellent food & service. Good fixed price lunch menu.

Nicely presented food with a decent choice. Starters and desserts were good. Three of us had fillet of beef. One ribeye. The fillet was not as good as I would have expected from a restaurant with a reputation as good as this establishment has. All three were a little tough. At £28.00 per plate, for a very small fillet, it should have been perfect. In my opinion, if your chef was cutting the fillets, he/she should have picked up on the gristle line and not sent them out. Still, a very tasty meal , good service and nice ambience. Also, the entrance area is looking a little tired and could do with a little tlc.

Every pub worth its weight in saffron has bangers and mash on the menu. Pop down your local Wetherspoons and the chef de cuisine (who I'll refer to as the CDC from hereon in) can whip you up a plate of this British classic. So what would a pub that prides itself on quality and innovation do with such a staple? How to avoid getting lost in the veritable pandemic of sausage and crushed potato that has had the nation in its thrall for the past century? The answer is surprisingly simple: good ingredients, simply prepared, and stylishly presented. The Fox and Goose haven't tried anything fancy with their bangers and mash. Local sausages, with a perfect crispy outside and soft inners. Creamy, flavourful mash that perfectly complements the texture of the sausages. A thick, rich onion gravy that coats the veg and sausages, and soaks into the mash for the perfect mushy mouthful. Anyway, I had the lamb. It was pretty decent. Props to the CDC.

There are effectively two restaurants here. One is a pub restaurant, the other a 'proper restaurant. We were in the latter. There is a car park but at 7:30pm on a Friday evening we had the last space. The building is very old with food served on multiple floors. We were upstairs in a quite large well timbered room. This is a pleasant space but not really intimate. The food was OK but not memorable. They were busy and the food took a while to arrive as you might expect. Perhaps the size of the room exceeds the capacity of the small kitchen at times. The staff were professional but a bit distant and we didn't feel overly engaged. Compared to its peers there still a little work to do. Overall we would go back but with lower expectations than for our first visit.

Great food, not so good at checking on line who has booked a table which resulted in people being disappointed or turned away.

Great service and friendly staff

Excellent meal with friendly service. The lobster special was a highlight. Great wine list.

The better half has lived in the village all her life, I've been about for the last 18yrs or so, we've never eaten here before, what a mistake, cannot wait for the next visit, thank you all for a fantastic meal/service, thoroughly enjoyed by us both. Alvin & Lisa Russell, Fressingfield.

Can't fault this place.. love it

Always good, lovely restaurant. Great staff. Good choices. Clean and well organized.

We last visited the Fox and Goose in 2019 when we had an excellent lunch, so as we were in the area again we just had to return. We were not disappointed, fantastic food, excellent service and a great location. We had salmon fishcake starters, sea bream & pork main courses and cheese & biscuits and cheesecake desserts. The food was full of flavours and absolutely delicious, we loved all of it. The building itself is full of history and very beautiful so all in all a wonderful experience!

Always a pleasure to eat at the Fox Goose, we fortunately only live a few miles away. Great food, recommend the mixed grill...actually anything on the menu

You may not have fois gras on the menu but it's on the menu highlights !!?

Better than some two and three star restaurants. Excellent food and service as ever.

Amazing food, amazing staff, can’t wait to go back

Well worth a visite lovely food 😋

Excellent all round dining experience. Always has had a better than average reputation for many years. Well worth a drive into deepest suffolk.

Easy to book online, and a short drive from our holiday cottage, we went here for an end of vacation dinner. Far better than a standard pub menu, chose the 2 course option and had particularly delicious mains of beef and lamb. Service was efficient although bill adding up not 100% accurate, but quickly corrected.

Always excellent, great food, really interesting wines and top service.

Great service, great food great location. We visited on a Saturday night and the restaurant was full but the service was slick. Definitely a 'must visit' when you are in the area.

Exceptional experience, just fine dining at its best, also wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, highly recommend!!

On the spur of the moment , as the sun was shining and we hadn’t really anything to stop us I thought why not go to Fressingfield’s Fox and Goose ! If there is a table free …it is meant to be ! I have had quite a “ tricky “ week heathwise, so really felt in need of a treat. Well , our lunch was superb from the moment we arrived ….they have got it just right there … the welcome, easy and efficient the table beautifully laid , but not overdone the service , friendly and thoughtful the food , excellent 👌, we loved it all! the price , a fair price for such quality and presentation. Thank you .

We came here for dinner on my partners birthday after arriving for a few days break from city life. We were promptly shown to a spacious table which we loved (living in London, that doesn’t happen). From the moment we ordered our drinks we knew this place was going to be good, lovely, friendly staff who read out the menu and offered recommendations made it a great experience. When the food did arrive we were not disappointed, the presentation, the smells and colour were amazing. The mains and desserts stole the show for us - with the steak and chips (partner) and aubergine with gnocchi (me) for main followed by a creme brûlée (partner) and sticky toffee pudding (me) for desserts. Both were exceptional and we seriously considered coming back the following day before leaving Suffolk. We couldn’t recommend this pub/ restaurant more and when we return to this part of the world - we will be booking ourselves in on more than one occasion! The presentation was incredible and it wasn’t even the “fancier” part of the place!

Excellent meal. Fresh local produce. Great presentation. Highly recommended. Not your run of mill pub. Attentive service.

We loved it here, excellent food and location
