Madeira cafe in St Edmundsbury

I've visited Pea Porridge several times over the years. I am never disappointed, but I am always surprised. The menu changes all the time; at every visit there is something that jumps off the page and says 'try me!'. The dilemma is, why one to try? Everything sounds wonderful, and when you see dishes arriving at adjoining tables, you wished you'd tried those too. Even walking into the restaurant and being greeted by the wonderful aromas is such a treat. Lunch last week was simply wonderful. My guest and I have spoken about it many times since, which says it all really. It is a whole experience from the moment you walk through the door, to the moment you leave. Jurga is very knowledgeable, and her advice on dishes and wine accompaniment is most welcome. Pea Porridge is an absolute gem. I feel very lucky that it is just a couple of miles away. I cannot imagine the hard work and long hours that go into making a dining experience at Pea Porridge seem so seamless and relaxed. I always come away feeling a sense of calm, and well-being after being so well looked after by Jurga, Justin and their team. Congratulations on retaining your Michelin Star. It is well deserved.

Room looks magnificent, bed comfortable. But there's no water in the bathroom, hot or cold, there's no answer on the telephone when you call to ask them to sort it out, and there's no response to email. So disappointed that I can hardly begin to put it into words. No idea where I can go for a shower before attending a funeral this afternoon.

Lovely little cafe, welcoming staff, warm and cosy on a wet day. Only had a coffee so can't comment on the food. Dog friendly and she even got a treat.

Absolutely appalling. Food sat for a.good 5 minutes under the so called heat lamp and 3 members.of staff totally ignored it was cold and they couldn't have cared less. Avoid.......
