We were recommended to go to the cafe saying food is good! We waited 10 minutes for a table of 4, staff are friendly and even though they were busy but food and drinks come out efficiently and they were very tasty! Certainly will come again!

Took a drive out to Framlingham for breakfast and stumbled upon The Common Room after a bad experience down the road where where our order had not been taken and we had given up. After a frantic google we headed to The Common Room and were greeted upon arrival and had to wait around 5 minutes to be seated as all tables were full but were kept updated. The atmosphere was truly lovely and the music played on the record player was a lovely touch. Our food order was taken with 5 minutes of sitting down, drinks delivered and our full Englishes arrived about 15 minutes later. Could not fault the food and a very reasonable price. Do not often write reviews but the whole experience after the previous restaurant was just perfect. Well done.

We were via Framingham and passed this around lunchtime. Delightful quirky decor with vinyl records of folk music playing. As busy as it deserves to be but we were not rushed at all. The crab quiche and vegan breakfast were both excellent. Thank you.

Character place just yards from the castle. Friendly, helpful welcome. At lunchtime there are huge sandwiches and inventive, flavourful sandwiches. Owner is clearly a music fan, with loads of classic vinyl playing on a record deck. Fantastic.

Another phenomenal, and I don’t use that word lightly , Sunday Roast . One of the last things I missed as a vegetarian was Sue’s roast , and now she has a delicious vegetarian gravy . I had a vegan sausage as a replacement for the meat and it was absolutely blooming fantastic . A triumph - I am a happy woman .

This has quickly become one of our favourite breakfast places, having recently moved into the area. Food is excellent (great sausages and bacon - probably local), service is friendly, relaxed and efficient, and the decor is interestingly quirky. Definitely a solid recommendation.

Clearly The Common Room isn’t going to please everybody, but I love it . My partner and I have visited on many occasions for breakfast , lunch and for the monthly quiz night and each time not only has the food been great but the overall experience including service has always been very enjoyable . It’s a small but comfortable place and ok yes sometimes customers do have to wait until a table becomes available because fortunately it is a family run, busy and popular place to be , with bohemian, eclectic art adorning the walls and often music more suited to the discerning playing in the background . Also, NO DOGS ( except guide dogs) allowed , which is good news for reasonable people who have just had enough of being surrounded by drooling , yapping animals while trying to enjoy a quiet meal.

Wow! The cafe of dreams. Fantastic food, friendly staff, wonderful decor, In fact I can’t think how you could make this place better. I came here for the first time today with my dad, brother and sister. The owner made us feel welcome instantly, found us a nice cosy table near the window. There is so much to look at as you sit waiting for your meal/drink. The walls are covered with interesting pictures and photographs. There are books to look at, comics, magazines and much more. The high point for my brother and I was the large collection of records. As a customer you can choose and play an album of your choice. The service is really good, our food arrived in no time at all. It was hot, absolutely delicious and most importantly the plates were full. So many places today offer trendy food lost in the middle of an ocean sized plate. Not here, a good portion is the order of the day. All four of us left full of wonderfully cooked, presented and enjoyed food. It was excellent value for money too. Go and search out this wonderful place, you won’t regret it.

Closed on our previous visit, we were happy to find it open today. Relaxed & friendly atmosphere with an attentive team. Menu was well priced, and service was unhurried but efficient. The food was excellent - tasty & generous. The kedgeree was good, & my other half cleared the plate of vegan breakfast only letting me taste the bubble & squeak. Delicious! No issues with cleanliness at all. Place was clean & tidy which made it easy to relax & enjoy the mid century xommon room vibe. Recommend this place for food in Suffolk.

Excellent food, quality ingredients, good service, however hygiene was frankly the most disgusting I have ever seen. As we sat down, the owner cleared away the previous customer's pots and wiped our table down with the previous owner's USED napkin which presumably had been used to wipe around their mouth. Yuk. Fortunately I had some wipes with me so I cleaned the table myself with one of those. I thought that this could just be a one-off oversight but I watched him do it again on another table. Great place but please take your own wipes with you!

We moved to the area 2 years ago and George's place is our go-to venue for any chill-out meal. Our 20 year old son loves it too. - and it's his first destination when he's back from uni. Vegetarians and Vegans are really well supported, and it's the best breakfast in East Suffolk. George leads a welcoming and efficient team, but with no fuss or airs and graces - we love that. Try the vegan sausage and veggie breakfast with really tasty welsh rarebit, and often there's a special with asparagus in season, a must with hollandaise sauce and bubble and squeak. The Pall Mall club style is a hit with a regular 'breakfast club' I run monthly with a friend, we try other places but it's joy to come back.

Absolutely rude owner! Ordered a milkshake to go but was only going to give us half because they didn’t have the right to go cups. Milk shake was just milk, sauces and ice. When we asked if have the other half in another cup but was told I don’t care do whatever you want. Was huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf while taking our order like it a chore. Don’t own a cafe if you don’t want to serve people 🤷‍♀️. Sandwich was nice though.

Sorry to say it was the worst breakfast I've had in the cafe. But if I pay £15.10 for coffee and full English I expect the highest standards. Bacan was so bad I couldn't even eat it.
