Six Bells in Babergh

Lovely roast and rice pudding desser

All food is homecooked! We stopped here by accident and were delighted with our meal. Portions were very generous, chips perfect and the puddings exceptional!

First time there and very happy with everything. The food was really good. Well presented, hot and very tasty. Very happy to recommend and look forward to going again.

Great for a quick drink but despite having at least three tables empty without reserve written on them they don't want to serve 1 cyclist not even have a look to see if they could fit me in just an outright no.

Brilliant simple pub, great food and a gorgeous garden

Excellent meal, lovely ambience, friendly staff

Nice ancient pub in tiny village. Food is really good. Leave room for a dessert - so good. Good sized dining area. Also large garden with seating (but lacking atmosphere and a trek across carpark to access). Easy walk across footpaths from Lavenham: nice place to take a break.

Lovely country pub doing lovely food. Very clean and friendly.

Found this beaut of a pub. Food was amazing all freshly made and cooked, the service was warm and welcoming. Plenty parking and space to sit. Can't wait to come back. Hudson the dog absolutely gorgeous and great company when comes say hi.

Beautiful local pub. Friendly staff (and dog), huge portions and the best rhubarb crumble you’ve ever had.

Fantastic local pub for a great Sunday roast. We ate here at the weekend, and couldn't have asked for more. Friendly staff, fast service, great food and a really affordable price in comparision to some. Thanks, and we'll be back!

Sunday roast in a cosy, traditional Suffolk pub? Look no further! Perfectly cooked roast beef with all the trimmings, best I’ve had in a long, long time. Cauliflower cheese included in the roast was delicious. Hudson the Labrador pup is a gorgeous boy with the most beautiful temperament. A very good boy! We will absolutely be returning 👌🏻🙏🏻 Thank you!

Fabulous food, very friendly staff and beautiful old country pub. Looking forward to hearing back in a few weeks.

Fantastic roast dinners fancy popping out for a Sunday roast, then you will not go wrong calling in here food was amazing

Went for a 60th birthday, table of 17. Service was fantastic, real friendly and super efficient even for a large party. Great atmosphere, lovely country pub with a friendly resident hound, who came to our table for lots of cuddles. The chips were the best chips I've ever had! The brisket burger was a nice change to a regular ground beef burger and the bacon jam was lush. Would definitely go again.

Delicious food. Very generous portions. We both had the rump steak, I couldn't finish mine....that's unheard of. Thrice cooked chips.. dangerously good. At £23 we thought it was a good price. We always return here when we go out. A lovely pub, neverchad a bad meal. Rachel our waitress/barmaid was the best!!!

Had a wonderful homemade beef and ale pie, beautiful creamy mash and great veg. We were kept company by Hudson the black lab/retriever who welcomed us as we came in from the rainy storm outside. Such a cozy place, plenty if room. When the fires are on I can imagine it's harder to leave. Very friendly staff considering I hadn't booked. Plenty on the menu to encourage me back, and didn't break the bank either.

Ancient pub in an historic building at the centre of a quiet village. The Sunday lunch we had was excellent - my trad beef, the SO's nut roast and our companion's fish & chips were all top notch. Everything on my plate - which included a delicious onion marmalade - was first class. A small menu of well judged dishes which changes, we were told, monthly. A very good range of beer on tap and you could see, from the number of locals dropping in for a pint, that the pub is well used by the community. Added to my list of nearby pubs to drop along to.

Nice country pub. Really nice inside with a friendly, yet nervous, young dog. Nice big beer garden with plenty of parking.

Lovely old pub, with old school locals at the bar and families have Sunday rosts The food is lovely with just enough food on the plate, with it not being too much or too little, The only thing I will say what I got be negative about, is that I did not see what came with the rosts, and the here was way to much red cabbage. But other than that it was a lovely meal with lovely paintings on the wall, and friendly staff, inside a lovely old building what is from the 1400s So decently give this place a go

Faultless really - stunning location, beautiful atmosphere, wonderful staff, delicious food with fresh and local ingredients. Keeps us going back for more.

Excellent place. Food staff and drink all first class. This place is a must...

We've eaten here several times when on holiday in the area, The welcome and food both fantastic. Best fish and chips I've had. Very Dog friendly as well.

Nice pint and atmosphere but completely empty and the bar person wasn't too inviting.

Great glass of Beer, really friendly atmosphere & food that will tickle one's taste buds for sure🍻🍲👍

Such a lovely warm welcome from the 3 ladies behind the bar, very quick efficient table service with drinks and food. The menu was for mothers day but still plenty of choice amazing roast followed by rhubarb crumble with vanilla custard. On our leaving I mentioned it was my birthday and one of the staff ran out after me asking me to wait 1 minute, I was then presented with a beautiful cupcake, a lovely and much appreciated gesture.

Nice pub food was good service excellent

Lovely Sunday lunch here today, 2 roasts and 2 desserts, amazing beef, cooked to perfection, good selection of veg and the service was fabulous, lots of happy efficient young girls with a smile! We'll be back...

Really warm, cosy, original pub with super good menu and excellent food and really speedy and nicely quirky service. Big thank you.

Very nice lunch and lovely and warm!

Lovely food lovely place x def going back

I thought that I knew most of the pubs in my area of this part of Suffolk having lived here for over fourteen years but stumbled across this one in the middle of nowhere. It was lunchtime and there was only one car parked outside which I thought didn't augur well. But on opening the door we could see many people occupying the place and their was a nice vibe. We were lucky enough to find a table right by the very warm and inviting log fire. Our food order was taken quickly and it soon arrived on our table look scrumptious. A very large obviously home-made pastry pie with the pastry complete surrounding a dark, melting, pull apart lamb feast which was delicate and delicious with an unctuous dark gravy sitting on a bed of light mash. We both thought that there was no way that we would do these plates justice but slowly we demolished the walls and the crusty pastry top and eventually cleared our plates. A good pint or two of beer too to wash it all down. We shall return and bring others to this lovely pub.

Amazing food, lovely setting, friendly staff and value for money. We've eaten here several times now and never been disappointed. Just a Sunday roast to try!

Friendly staff. Great quiz on first Wednesday of every month with delicious curry.

Lovely place to eat. 5 stars from me, I will be going again.

Great place, great food. Superb hosts. Our first visit there and will not be our last

There was a group of 4 of us and all of had a really nice time. Lovely food, price was reasonable, staff were good, and atmosphere was good too - what more could I ask for. I definitely want to go again

Lovely spot. We had the Sunday roast which was excellent. Dog friendly and log fires when required.

Beautiful Sunday lunch. Pretty village and comfy pub. Good value for money.

Dropped in for a few gin and tonics with friends. We are from out of town, actually from Sydney, Australia. Absolutely love the ambience here! Such a cute little pub.

For us, the Six Bells serves the best Sunday roasts around. Charming pub/restaurant with a large garden area and cosy inside.

Good atmosphere. Lovely fresh food. Recommended

Lovely pub, staff (2 youngish lads) and food! Sunday roast was very generous and the vegetarian nut roast option was very tasty. Chocolate brownie with hazelnut ice cream dessert I would highly recommend… Definitely be going back for more!

Great Sunday lunch at the 6 bells, top draw

Lovely place in the Suffolk countryside. Food above average and priced very well

A lovely pub in a really nice village location. The food was great, a nice selection that catered for all tastes & diets, all at a reasonable price. Nice place for a Sunday lunch!

If you want to use that incredibly archaic tender called 'cash'....make sure you have the exact change. Otherwise you get scowled at and berated by the lady behind the bar like you've just shot her black cat. Apart from that an absolutely beautiful pub, in cracking setting, food super, and dog friendly. Would have been 5 stars. Reply: Thank you for your response re cash. I wasn't aware I had pulled out a note from my phone at that point. Just a polite, sorry have you got anything smaller would have done the trick. You charged me £2.40 for half of the beautiful black stuff.....put the 20p overcharge in your Xmas kitty for a good old knees up :)

Lovely traditional country pub, we came here for a family meal and had a range of different food between us, the southern fried chicken burger was lovely however i didn't like sultanas in the coleslaw! The Fish&chips were very well cooked, and the homemade pie went down well. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious but definitely worth sharing as it's very sweet. Service was great and overall we had a very chilled evening Would recommend and we will definitely go back

We where recommended to the bells by a friend, This is one of the best pub Sunday roasts we have had ever. Lovely tender beef plus about seven different vegetables and great gravy. No need to go anywhere else after finding this lovely country pub with very friendly and helpful staff.

Good food and beer, ambience and friendly.

Fantastic local trout simply cooked to perfection.. lemon posset to die for- what more can you ask for?

Saturday night dinner was delicious with friendly staff and the opportunity to buy art. Make sure you order a (large) portion of onion rings, so, so good

Run by landlady Debbie and with charming bar staff this pub maybe off the beaten track but it’s a little gem. With a good sized garden and children's play area out back it’s perfect for all ages and the best thing - it’s dog friendly. Highly recommend.

Great location, very good food and drinks! Bar was a bit noisy but that didn't really detract.

Nice setting, good food and beer, but female manager specifically, not friendly and sour. Overheard a few other diners mentioning the same.

Beautiful Pub, and surroundings did not get the chance to eat. But we will be returning to gorgeous venue very soon. Will update when we have .

Brilliant pub, food was top notch and staff were friendly and helpful.

Not been for many years, tonight I decided to take a small 2 mile walk across a muddy field to try out the food with a couple of pints, staff on point food A1. See you soon, Chris

Food okay, we were in a very noisy part of the restauarant so took the edge off.

Great food ,lovely people ,and the Sunday lunch is just amazing .go and try this lovely locally owned country pub ,you won't be disappointed 👍

The six bells was a great find for my hiking buddies and I a few years ago. Been going back when I can since then. Latest visit was Sunday 30th Jan 2022 for Sunday roast. Had the beef, excellent, well stocked with a variety of vegetables and the sirloin was perfect. It’s a great place, loads of space, wood fires, great friendly staff, plenty of menu options and real ale. Thoroughly recommend it.

Lovely place: excellent food, friendly and attentive staff, great atmos, roaring log fire. Well worth a visit.

Good food and friendly service. Can't go wrong....!!

Lovely food and very nice staff

Warm and welcoming atmosphere, with great food. Gluten free options were delicious. Can't wait to go back.

We stopped at this charming village pub for a quick pint whilst walking in the area. It was a Saturday lunchtime and we were surprised to find the pub was very quite. The decor inside was appealing and the staff were friendly. We sat in the garden area at the rear of the pub in a lovely setting and glorious sunshine. We enjoyed our visit so much that we returned at the end of our walk for another visit.

Lovely food. We will definitely return

Lovely staff members. Nice garden, expected much better of the food - disappointed. Overall good though.

Excellent food, large rear garden, good value.

A decent offering in a cutesy village setting with kid and dog friendly service inside and out.

Attractive old pub in picturesque village serving tasty food with friendly service at reasonable prices.

Brilliant venue, but didn't have the warm welcome which makes rural pubs special.

Great beer and atmosphere, will try the food next time

Superb Sunday lunch for us and visiting friends in the marquee. 5 stars

Really lovely food would definitely recommend.

Nice country pub, just stopped for a quick drink in the garden!

Great atmosphere, and tender, delicious sreak!

Wonderful ambience, friendly staff and great food!

Lovely pub with delicious menu. I recommed it.

Friendly staff and food was delicious. Thank you

Absolutely fantastic food and beer. Mussels starter was so good - nice warm bread to soak up the lovely sauce. Brisket “burger” was tender and tasty. My Husband got the full rack of ribs, side of onion rings. Both of us walked away stuffed. Lovely atmosphere and COVID-19 safe. Will certainly go here again. Highly recommend.

Fabulous Sunday lunch. And they squeezed us in even though I booked the wrong pub (d'oh)! Really friendly staff. Great quality food. Fab view.

Excellent food and service in beautiful rustic surroundings. Highly recommended. A must visit! 👍

Delicious Sunday roast. Rustic atmosphere.

Lovely country pub. Beautiful setting and the food was glorious. Highly recommended.

Very nice pub, friendly, clean, good parking. Will be going there to eat next visit..

So glad this wonderful pub is back open!

We had a really nice well prepared meal served really well. The meal was a prize from Preston Church Raffle - a really wonderful prize, thank you. A pub that is really worth visiting.

Nice food but rather expensive, customer service needs a bit of work. Nice and warm atmosphere. Is accessible for those in need of flat surface. Not much on the menu for those with allergies which was disappointing. I would feel comfortable returning in the future
