Honey Hill Brasserie in St Edmundsbury

Absolutely delicious Italian food. Perfectly cooked and wonderful flavours. Lovely cosy atmosphere in a beatiful old building and very welcoming. Excellent wine too. We really enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back and try some other things on the menu!

An excellent lunch stop, fresh and homemade food, really delicious pasta dish of the day, followed by the BEST spiced rum hot chocolate, thoroughly recommend!

Food is delicious and with fabulous specials! Cosy setting that is warm and welcoming and most importantly of all a personal and friendly service! So happy that we have a great restaurant a 5 minute drive away!

Popped in for lunch today unplanned. Lovely place, the small portion pizza was just right for lunch, the burrata was also a hit. The pizza was a proper thin affair, full of delicious flavours. Heartily recommended, really good.

Beautiful café in a beautiful location. The food is all delicious, and the staff are so friendly and make you feel immediately welcome. Definitely recommend!

We decided to give Honey Hill a try, as we live nearby. I popped in and booked a table for two for 7pm. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised how welcoming the reception we got upon entering the premises. Rob the proprietor and Mitch the waiter were extremely polite and accommodating. The restaurant is very cosy with only a minimal amount of seating inside. We picked a table next to the window overlooking the Bell Hotel that is permanently closed at the moment. Mitch took our drinks order to which my wife had cafe latte and myself had English Breakfast tea. There is alcohol on the premises. We both ordered starters and the main course at the same time. Presently the starters were brought to the table, the presentation was good. My wife ordered Arrancini rice balls served with a herb and garlic mayonnaise, and I ordered Focaccia romana garlic flatbread. My wife's starter came in a bowl with the mayonnaise in a small porcelain container. My starter was presented on a small wooden cutting board. The starters were prepared and cooked fresh. Once finished the starters, there was a short break before the main course arrived. My wife ordered a Prosciutto eh funghi pizza but with some changes to the topping. She didn't want the Truffle Oil, but asked if she could have Red Onions instead, her wish was granted. I had the Margherita. The pizzas were about 12 inches in diameter when arrived, again freshly cooked and with fresh toppings. You couldn't fault the food, it was superb. As my wife is Spanish/Italian, she said the pizzas tasted exactly like authentic Italian pizzas. In the time we spent in the restaurant, we wasn't rushed to finish our meals. We both had a thoroughly pleasant evening, and would recommend Honey Hill as a restaurant for authentic Italian pizzas, and a warm and pleasant place to eat.

Possibly the best pannini ever. Very nice place and nice hosts. Thanks Definitely recommend for all

HoneyHill is a wonderful place to stop, relax, eat and drink with family or friends. The garlic bread and pizzas are amazing, truly authentic with a wonderful crispy base. We sampled a couple of the cocktails on offer and especially liked the Negroni. The owners have obviously worked hard to make HoneyHill a warm inviting place that offers great food at a great price. We would highly recommend.

Had my husband Mark’s 40th Birthday party celebration in Honey Hill last night, absolutely fantastic A rowdy group of 23 of us in a private party, and Nicki and Robert did us proud - thank you so much ❤️ Great people, great food, great laughs - so lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant in our town. The chicken with the prunes, was awesome - I must have the recipe Thankyou again xx

I have not long lived in Clare long and we had some friends visiting . We decided to book here as it was recommended to us . I have to say we had the best meal the pizza was the best we have tasted . We shared a bottle of wine and the ambience was special . The staff was very friendly and we had a chat to Rob about the area and Clare itself . I have booked again for Saturday evening with friends and family so looking forward to this . I felt it was important to give a review as it is special .

On Thursday 25th August we visited Honey Hill and had one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Food was excellent and so was the service. My husband had and I had the homemade pasta and it was delicious. The desserts were divine. The restaurant has a lovely welcoming feel and we would highly recommend it. Many thanks Lisa

great place! great food! great owners! would recommend to anyone :) the pizzas are unlike no other!!

Rightly voted one of Suffolk’s top pizza restaurants and very much our favourite place for an evening meal. Honey Hill is also a terrific cafe - today we had the tastiest warm fruit scones fresh from the oven and a tastebud satisfying latte and hot chocolate. All homemade and served by the super friendly Rob & Nic. Wonderful!

Myself my husband and a friend have just had a lovely evening in this charming little restaurant. Our welcome was warm and friendly by Robert , one of the owners, his wife Nicola, runs the kitchen popped in to say hello, (a nice touch).I don’t usually write reviews but I just had to praise the food, it was delicious. My husband and myself had a lovely pasta dish , wonderful soft little pillows of chicken stuffed pasta with a delicious creamy lemon sauce. My friends pizza was the best she’d ever had, we finished our meal with a lovely tirimasu, great coffee and an indulgent dessert wine, so thank you Nicola and Rob for a truly memorable experience.

A superb experience of having my first pizza on Saturday evening,followed by the most delicious tiramisu. A really good selection of wines and cocktails was to be had . I had excellent service from both Nicola and Robert. I would highly recommend this venue.

We really enjoyed Honey Hill on Saturday. The restaurant is cosy with a great atmosphere and very good service. Really tasty pizzas with lots of choice and they were very authentic and huge! It was a nice surprise to see a couple of cocktails on the drinks menu too. Amazing sundaes with delicious ice cream and flavours to replicate classic deserts - very clever. Definitely recommend this place will back ASAP.

Nice cold beer, super authentic pizza;s with great depth of flavour and loved the dough balls - Rob & Nicky are fantastic

Lovely lunch experience ! Thursday at Honey Hill CLARE ....cleanliness, hospitality, decor, food & service all excellent ..... Would thoroughly recommend a visit

Stopped by for a quick bite and wow, we were so glad we did! Lovely coffee and the nicest paninis I think I have ever had! Delicious cakes, canoli and other gorgeous little sweet treats to eat in or take away. Brilliant, friendly service and nothing was too much trouble. Can't wait to go back and try the sharing platter, garlic bread and pizza. What a find!

Sometimes you just don’t want to cook and you don’t want anything too much honey hill relaxed pizza , breakfast and chilled wine hits the spit

After many months of avoiding eating out due to Covid, we had such a treat making our first visit to this lovely brasserie for lunch. The panini was delicious, beautifully presented and incredibly tasty, the orange polenta divine. My decaf cappuccino was up there with the best, all served by the very welcoming and professional owners. Thankyou so much Honey Hill for making our day, we will be back Hazel and Trevor

We visited on a Saturday evening, and chose pizzas from the extensive menu. They were superb; the best we have eaten for a considerable time - fresh and bursting with flavour. There was a decent wine list with wines available by the bottle or glass. Our desserts - homemade tiramisu and a classic Italian affogato were also delicious. The owners are friendly and take pride in what they serve. We had a lovely evening, and the prices charged were not inflated, in our opinion, given the quality of food on offer. We were visitors to the area, but would gladly return here.

Menu is limited to pizza, coffee and cake currently Nice coffee, limited cakes as they’d sold most this morning

Love this place. I have had takeaway pizza twice and each time it has been honestly absolutely delicious. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and it was ready for collection as soon as I walked in the door, with minimum contact. Highly recommend!

Such a lovely little place to eat. Food and drinks were amazing, worth every penny. Brilliant customer service. Would highly highly recommend. Will 100% be going back.

I am a total food lover (verging on food snob...) to the point where I have a food review blog as I eat out so regularly. Therefore, I do feel like I know when something tastes GOOD. I’m so glad we visited as it’s the most impressed I’ve been with a cafe/restaurant for a while. We enjoyed refreshing iced coffees topped with vanilla ice cream and I went for one of the half-size diavola pizzas. Honestly one of the yummiest pizzas I’ve ever had and the perfect size for lunch. The customer service is top notch and the owners are so welcoming and lovely. Haven’t stopped telling all my friends and family they need to go since I got home!! Seriously recommend.

What a gem, adapted to the current covid Situation well. We were greeted with a warm welcome by host when we stopped for coffee and cake which was delicious

Great pizzas with a good range of toppings and extras. We had goat’s cheese padano and frutti di mare. We pre-ordered and they were ready exactly when promised. They also have tubs of delicious artisan ice cream from Saffron Walden.

A warm welcome when we arrived, attentive (but not stiff) and friendly service, tasty dishes and superb value (£25 for 3 courses). Nice ambience and relaxed atmosphere. Honey Hill is a small brasserie so obviously the menu isn't extensive but our party of four all very much enjoyed our choices. These included the Souffle, Croquettes and Smoked Trout tart for starters, The Pithivier, Cottage Pie and Stuffed Chicken for mains, and Creme Caramel, Chocolate Torte and Poached Pear for pudding. They also open for lunch (which we haven't tried yet) but we are heading back for dinner this evening and really looking forward to it.

A fantastic little restaurant serving delicious food. Two courses for £20, 3 courses for £25. There are a handful of dishes to choose from for each course, which is refreshing as each dish was cooked to perfection. The portion sizes are just right, so you can eat three courses without feeling too full. This is one of the best meals my wife and I have eaten for some time and we will definitely be back. Book a table, you won't regret it.

We had a fantastic meal at Honey Hill. The food was delicious, the wine properly chilled, lovely atmosphere and friendly service. Will definitely return

We stopped off In clare on the way to visit family and visited Honey Hill and very glad we did. It is a small cosy restaurant with a relaxed setting. They do a fixed 2 or 3 course evening meal priced at £20 & £25 respectively. My partner had the Cheese Soufflé to start and he said was perfect!! . My Serrano Ham was equally of high quality and tasted just like in a traditional Spanish taverna. . Our mains of StuffedChicken Breast and Braised steak in red wine were equally of high quality and well presented. I spoke to the owner who apparently just took over the place. Well I woudnt have guessed as I was impressed. We did have 3 courses and for £25 each I wish we lived closer and go again as it was almost fine dining at gastro pub prices!! Go before they realise but I'd still go even if they did put it up. They don't have any parking but plenty in the square and side streets. Sorry only 1 pic of my starter as we just enjoyed the experience.

Honey Hill has recently changed hands and the high standards of the previous owners have been maintained. My partner and I had lunch there shortly after the Brasserie reopened and really enjoyed the experience. Looking forward to future visits.

We are a family of five and enjoyed a lovely meal here last night to celebrate a special birthday. Thank you for your warm welcome and delicious food. See you soon!

Had a lovely dinner with family on Saturday 16th November for golden wedding celebration and birthday. Having one member who is wheat intolerant the menu was sufficiently varied to accommodate her. Great choices of fish and meat dishes. All dishes were beautifully cooked and presented and portions were great. Good food and service in a really friendly comfortable restaurant. Highly recommend. Puddings were delicious and having a gluten free option was brilliant.will definitely revisit.

My wife and I had the most wonderful evening here for our anniversary. The food and wine was top class. I love that the restaurant is a bit higgledy-piggledy, giving it so much charm. We were able to relax for the first time in many years. When we first walked in there was no music, which we loved, although as the evening progressed and we were the only people left, the chef put on some big band and other jazz, which made our day. The menu is relatively small, which always instils confidence in me as it means they do a small menu beautifully but have something for any taste. A wonderful mix of informal yet classy food. Can't wait to go back again, maybe for the Sunday roast! Thank you!

We had a first class meal in this pretty Brasserie at a very reasonable price . This is the sort of lovely local restaurant you find all over France but usually hope for in vain here in England . We started with prawns and then duck for my husband and lamb for me - both cooked exactly as ordered and in well flavoured sauces . Parmentier potatoes were delicious and included in the price, as were the green beans. We had scrumptious homemade rice pudding from a good choice of desserts . Poached pear is also on the menu and homemade Bakewell Tart . With a very good bottle of French wine and coffee and chocolates we paid £70 in total for our 3 course dinner . A real bargain , you even get good quality bread , butter and olives to nibble while looking at the menu . We loved the relaxed ambience, the delicious food at a reasonable price and the warm welcome from the Chef Patron and his wife . You can even park easily in the market square next to the restaurant . Who needs a holiday in France when you have a restaurant as good as this close by ?

We just popped in on the off chance on Saturday night and were greeted with a welcoming smile and seated on a lovely table for two . It was my birthday meal and we were not disappointed as everything was just perfect. The menu was varied and catered for all tastes. All the food was piping hot and we weren't rushed along between courses. I had the roasted haddock and my husband the crab. Both were excellent and nicely presented. The olives and bread we were given when browsing the choices on the menu were very nice and complimentary as were the after dinner hand made chocs which were yummy. All the prices were very reasonable , not as expensive as some so called gastro pubs and much better quality. The whole place was spotlessly clean and there was a nice atmosphere with lots of other diners chatting and enjoying their dining experience. We are staying in the area from Somerset for a few months and will definately be visiting again as we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening , many thanks to our hosts.

Just got home after a visit to this lovely little restaurant. We have looked at this place for a long time decided to go for our wedding anniversary and we wasn’t disappointed. We had the special Thursday steak night offer of rump steak, fries, dressed leaves, a dessert or starter and a bottle of wine for two people for £35.00 great value for money, we had a dessert a poached pear dish and a fabulous knickerbocker glory!! The steak was delicious and so was the béarnaise sauce. We also had a coffee and chocolates. Oh and they also brought out bread and olives when we arrived, lovely touch. The serving staff was lovely and friendly and the owner/chef came out and chatted with us, a lovely touch, you wasn’t rushed, beautifully decorated and had a great ambience. We certainly will be back, can’t recommend this enough. A fab evening a great way to celebrate our anniversary.

Excellent all round. Highly recommended. Great food, great service, great price..................what more do you need.

Great menu and value for money. Everything we chose was beautifully presented and served by professional, friendly staff. A unique restaurant with great personality! We are looking forward to bringing friends here.

Went for steak night Food amazing staff very friendly. Cheese board delicious. Booked again for Saturday.

Such a lovely atmosphere in this restaurant. The food is cooked by a first class chef and presented beautifully. Will not hesitate to bring family and friends here again. It’s so friendly.

This is a relatively new restaurant in Clare replacing a cafe. It is a little niche but fills a real gap in the town. It has been extensively redecorated in a pleasing and quirky fashion (but why the glitter balls - out of place and please remove!). The food was excellent. Some great vegetarian options and the fish dishes were wonderful. The mushroom and leek tartlet was worth the meal alone and the seafood casserole was fresh and delicious, and actually so filling I couldn’t manage one of the excellent looking puddings. We didn’t have the meat dishes but they looked good on the neighbouring table. Relatively small and only opens 3 nights per week but is a real addition and asset to Clare. The staff were very friendly and helpful and service was prompt and efficient and very responsive. Loved the place.

I had wanted to try this little Brasserie for a while and finally managed to get a booking some weeks ahead, a good sign I thought. I looked at the menu on line and thought this looks very promising. So far so good. On the evening of our visit the restaurant was busy and crowded. We were squeezed into a table which involved me being constantly bashed by the woman behind me. No where else to move to so I stayed put. The restaurant is small and a tad crowded. The waiting staff were very pleasant but not terribly efficient, No drinks order taken when we arrived. Just given menus and then no sign of them for 15 mins, then a further 15 mins for the drinks to arrive. Food order was eventually taken but we were still sitting there waiting an hour after we had arrived. I hate to be negative about this, I know how hard it is to run a small business and how difficult to find staff but this cramping and delay certainly took the gloss off the visit. Food arrived, it wasn't great and a bit amateurish. I am not looking for Haute Cuisine and good bistro cooking would be fine but honestly' if I cooked this at home I would have been disappointed. Not awful, just uninspired and pedestrian. By this time I was fairly disappointed, I couldn't say anything was bad enough in itself to complain about other than the wait but I could see how busy they were so gave a little leeway on that. The owner seems to make a bit of an effort to find out if you enjoyed the meal but appearing in civvies in the middle of the restaurant and asking for your views on the meal in a crowded room is not going to elicit any response other than everything was ok, at least from a Brit. I really wanted to like this restaurant, clearly others do but for me it was a disappointing visit. I will try again at some future time and hope for a better experience.

My husband, son, daughter-in-law and myself had a lovely evening out on Saturday evening, the food was exceptional, we all enjoyed our meals although we had different dishes, we all agreed tet were all extremely tasty, which is a miracle where my husband is concerned.

Had a lovely meal here a couple of weeks ago for my sister's birthday. It's a really nice place, quite small but cosy. Really inviting and we'll designed. The menu is small but really good.

Out for a second time family meal, all ordered food “2 x moules 1 steak and 1 Prawn, 3 meals were good and tasty prawns came so hot could not pick them up, after a few minutes the prawns were very hard and impossible to remove shells, had to ask for finger bowls as only had paper type napkins this made eating a very messy ordeal.

Highly recommend this lovely establishment, warm, welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, the food is incredible, the steak is a must and sticky toffee pudding, the owners are perfect hosts friendly and hospitable, you won’t be disappointed by this wonderful, quaint little Brassiere thank you will be stopping by again soon

We enjoyed our time when it was a cafe, so decided to try it out as a restaurant. We had a lovely evening, it had such a lovely ambience, very relaxing. Our food was delicious with good service and we were welcomed by the owners. We highly recommend this oasis in Clare. Jacqui and Brian

Loved my veggie dinner .and the cheese board was massive.my friends cod and pork dish all looked lovely too

A small oasis in Clare ( about time )where good food and ambiance are the order of the evening.

My partner Anne and I have enjoyed three evenings since the Brasserie opened in late January. The first was the first night (regular menu), the second was Valentines Night (special menu), and the third was yesterday evening to try the steak night menu. On all three occasions the food was superbly cooked, tasty and very well presented. The service was efficient and attentive. The atmosphere was buzzing - you could easily have been in a real French Brasserie. The owners, Graham and Dina have really made an incredible impact onto the Clare culinary scene. Anne and I have no reservations in giving the Brasserie the highest possible rating.

Recently the tearoom has shut and become a small restaurant, open Evenings only, Thursday, friday and Saturday. We visited last Friday, and were impressed by the quality and pricing of the food.

Went for steak night all was good so we will return to try other menu's, its very cosy and packed so book, only little mark down was coffee was slow coming but had a good night

Took a table for 4 Friday night, our first visit. We were delighted with ambience, food prepared and presented extremely well. Service couldn’t have been more attentive. Moule’s great, lemon tart ( homemade) to die for. All in all a very pleasant evening and excellent value.

This used to be a café but is now a restaurant 3 nights a week and for sunday lunch every other weekend.

The staff were very friendly and informative. The food was unbelievably good. The owner even made a point of coming over to say hello.

Go here every couple of months for a brunch with my grown up children. The eggs benedict are scrumptious. Friendly, always welcoming.

Popped in on the off chance of some warm food that was suitable for Vegans and was not disappointed. Though I didn't see any clear food choices on the menu, the chef saw me looking and asked if I needed assistance, I explained my circumstance and he was happy to help, he offered me a few menu choices and offered to make me a sandwich not usually on the menu to ensure I got something to eat. Bit he and the lady who owned the place were kind, and welcoming. The cafe itself was clean, well lit and decorated in a wonderful way, selling local artists pieces as well, it's a pleasure to see a place like this in the community. If my made up sandwich was anything to go by, the rest of the food will be extraordinary. Thank you again guys, it was exactly what I needed!

Nice atmosphere, warm and friendly. We were lucky enough to get a table overlooking the street so could sit and watch the world go by.

Honey Hill has such a friendly atmosphere, created by the owners, with excellent staff. A perfect place to stop for morning coffee ( and fruit scone!), but also excellent for a late breakfast, or early lunch.

I have eaten here several times, the food is beautifully cooked and delicious, the service is always polite and efficient. It is excellent value. Highly recommend.

Visiting Clare in Suffolk has been wonderful, with special mention to the Honey Hill Cafe - Graham and Dina were welcoming, friendly and had lots if local stories - which made our stay in Clare delightful. The breakfasts there are fantastic, they are dog friendly and our little frenchie happily had a snooze most mornings under our table. All in all I can’t rate the place high enough. Definitely make it a stop on your Suffolk tour if you get the chance!

We popped in on the off chance, having never been here before. Had a lovely late Lunch. Great food and Great service.

Great food, prices and staff. I love the coffee and the all day breakfasts. If they don't have what you want on the menu they'll do their best to help. Their sausages are the best!

Had an excellent lunch at the HH Cafe. Food was fresh and beautifully cooked, and plenty of it. Don't forget to check out the specials board, which had a focus on interesting fish dishes. Coffee was superb as was my hot chocolate. The service was friendly and efficient, and watch out for the waitresses home made earrings! Another pleasant surprise was the bill - 2 mains, 1 dessert and 4 drinks for just over £20. We shall definitely be going back and are happy to recommend.

This is a very decent restaurant and it's a pity it doesn't open during the evening. It is a quality offering and although it doesn't serve alcohol it operates to the Australian BYO style which is fine. It serves good seafood as well as other dishes. Service is good and friendly. A very comfortable place to spend brunch/lunch through to last service around 16.30. Reasonable prices. Like it a lot.

Third time we have been here now and each time seems to get better. We travel from Cambridge because the food and welcome are always so lovely. This time we had the lobster. It was first class and so reasonably priced. The owners are lovely and really take pride in the food and the service they offer. The coffee is great too!

Always a great welcome. Food is excellent and the coffee great. A bonus is being able to have your 4-legged friend with you.

A spotlessly clean very pretty cafe. This was our second visit and we were not disappointed because the food and service was just as excellent as our first visit. There was no problem getting a gluten free option, everything was freshly prepared. If you are in Clare and looking for a gluten free light lunch, this is the place to visit. My husband (non Coeliac) was equally pleased especially with the delicious home made Victoria Sponge. The owners who run the cafe are charming and made us very welcome.

We usually go to another cafe when visiting Clare but wanted to try somewhere new. We were very impressed, my husband had the full English and I had avocados and poached eggs which was fabulous. Breakfast food is served all day, the rest of the menu is slightly limited but enough choice for most. Staff were friendly and attentive. Toilet was clean although there is only one. It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and lots of pictures etc. to look at - it used to be an old antique shop. We would definitely return if visiting Clare again. The diet cokes were on the expensive side but came in a bottle so usually are.

Super friendly and true care and attention in every direction. Talked to the chef about his Walnut, Pear and Stilton Salad. Great knowledge of food and nutrition. Will definitely return for more of the same. A super find in a beautiful town.

I dine at this excellent Cafe a few times a week usually for a Full English breakfast. The food is truly excellent, well cooked and decent portions. The service is friendly and welcoming and it’s position in the centre of Clare means you can relax, watch the world go by and enjoy.

We found Honey Hill Cafe by accident. I wish we hadn't. The staff were disinterested, and the food when it finally arrived, was awful. I ordered carbonara, which arrived as a solid mass of goo with no sauce and large lumps of ham cut into it. My husband ordered prawns which were so hot as to be a danger to the mouth! If they want returning customers, they had better sharpen their act.

First time visit but will not be our last ! I’m guessing but looked like a wife and husband team with the the wife taking orders and husband making the meals.

My friend and I dashed in late one afternoon well past usual lunch time, hoping for a quick bite. What a find! Lovely food served at all hours, full range of teas, great coffee, friendly proprietors, happily quirky characteristics like a ‘library ‘, great location... I’ll definitely come again!

Excellent lunch - second time we managed to get here and did not disappoint either time - superb eggs Benedict and a Scrambled egg with smoked salmon on toast today 17th April.

What a find. This is a quaint and quirky little cafe restaurant mixing excellent, friendly service with great food.

Lovely welcome from the staff at Honey Hill for one woman and her dog. Delicious coffee and cake. Definitely call in again.

On our way home from Burnham-on-Crouch we got diverted of the main road and finished up in Clare so we decided to have lunch there. We popped into the Honey hill cafe, I ordered sautéed mushrooms on buttered toast topped with poached egg . What a good choice very well done it was very tasty.

First visit to Clare. Convenient location just off car parking. Atmosphere, nice cosy seats, spacious clean toilet, staff were great. My biggest mistake was ordering pasta carbonara ( I was so hungry!). I am sorry to say that tasted horrible, even it's not pasta, it was made by Chinese egg noodle. I hate food waste and tried but could not eat. Even my little boys or husband would not help. I wanted to address to staff but husband stopped me because he wanted to pay and go as quickly as possible. He enjoyed his full breakfast. I regret I should have ordered egg dishes, or scones.

Charming & friendly. Perfect for a cup of coffee on a cold, wet morning before a good walk to Cavendish & back.

We had the absolute pleasure to visit this lovely gem of the world of Suffolk. We’ve been greeted by lovely, friendly people. The place is amazingly decorated, warm and welcoming, it even has a book exchange. I’ve spotted a book that looked interesting and the lovely owner offered me to take it although i didn’t have a book in exchange, I refused because it would have been too cheeky as we live far from Suffolk but the gesture was so lovely! Thank you!
