Restaurant At Seckford Hall Hotel in Suffolk Coastal

We both had the steak. I ordered mine well done and had to return it as it was still pink. The steaks were very tasteless as was the peppercorn sauce. The chips were not great either. They tasted like frozen chips. The manager did take my steak off of the bill as it wasn’t cooked as I asked the first time which I did appreciate. I wouldn’t return

Fantastic Sunday lunch here, for the 3rd time in the last couple of months. Plentiful, tender roast beef, served in a beautiful dining room. Service good, though some of the staff do seem a little unsure. We still think it’s the best roast around. We have also had dinner at Seckford Hall, and that was a lovely experience. Don’t look at the old reviews, this place is very good.

The menu isn't extensive, but it is certainly different, to the usual run of the mill menus. If you were staying for any length of time, you would need to repeat your choices, as the menu doesn't change daily. Service good, discreet, possibly a tiny bit slow taking orders, but they were very busy and helpful waiters, explaing the dishes. Great place for a special occasion.

We had an evening meal at this restaurant which excelled our expectations. We believe it’s under new management so the previous reviews we read, were out of date. The food was really delicious and well presented and the staff were on the ball and very friendly. I’m not one for writing reviews, just reading them but felt this place deserved a true up to date review.

We could not celebrate my 80th birthday last year due to covid so booked a table for lunch for my 81st birthday this year. NOT TO BE RECOMMENDED. The restaurant was cold and drab with no heating ona very cold day except some portable noisy fan heaters and we were the only ones there for the duration of our lunch. The food was good but I had to chase up a waitress to get another drink and she never came to see if we were ok. I emailed a complaint to the manageress when we got home and it took several days to get her response. It was an apology with an invite to try again and she would personally take to booking: Who cares who takes the booking?? I replied and said I would expect a monetary incentive to come again and she offered me a measly 10% discount which is about 6 quid on a meal for 2. I emailed again and expressed my disgust that a milestone birthday had been spoiled was only worth six quid but have received no response. This hotel needs to sort its act out as we will certainly never go there again AND THE FOOD WAS VERY EXPENSIVE which with such a drab and miserable atmosphere in the dining room is unacceptable.

Thought we'd try seckford hall again to see if it had improved since the last time we went perhaps 2 years ago. It hasn't. Probably worse. We asked to be moved from the charmless restaurant as it was so noisy because of all hard surfaces. Ate in the bar with sticky tables. Tasteless salmon fishcakes for starters. No condiments. My lamb Sunday roast was horrible. Veg ok but meat tasteless and soft, almost slimy. Other meals were good. One of us had the burger and was handed an almost empty bottle of ketchup. Another almost empty bottle brought. Salt grinder didn't work, a replacement brought and almost slammed down on the table. No attempt to compensate for inedible lamb. Won't be going again for another few years. Pity. Hall and grounds look slender but interior has been ruined.

This is a Restaurant review as we did not stay at the hotel. Really disappointed . We were really looking forward to returning to Seckford Hall restaurant for a treat on the last night of our holiday. Very limited pub menu on a one page paper menu . My request for rack of lamb to be more well done was basically ignored with waiter just swapping my meal with my wife's in a "try that one" attempt. All 3 of our meals lukewarm with my son's steak being very tough . We were offered cocktails as compensation which we declined so just paid the expensive bill and left very, very dissatisfied and disappointed. Such a fall from grace :-(

I was staying for two nights at Seckford Hall so decided to eat at the restaurant. Starters were okay but nothing special. For the main course my wife and I decided on the steak. My wife wanted medium to well done but received well done. I chose well done, which it was but was dry as a desert. The chips were hard almost under cooked. When I asked for some vinegar the waitress brought a bottle with 2 or 3 mm left. I had to ask another waitress for some more. I didn't want anything on the dessert menu, so I asked for an Irish coffee. I was given Tia Maria in coffee with cream! I decided to finish with a brandy. The only brandy they had was Courvoisier! Nothing better. I was given a discount on the bill for my wife's steak being overdone and a proper Irish coffee when I complained, but this is not something I expected in a place like this. Frankly, I have had better meals in a Beefeater.

We had lunch sitting outside in the lovely garden. The staff couldn't do enough for us - they even brought a water bowl for the dog! The food was lovely - we all had different meals and all enjoyed what we had. All the Covid safety measures were in place but did not affect our experience in any way.
