The Fish Dish in Babergh

Lunch. Not an extensive lunch menu - basically 3 choices. All £17.95. So need to be good! Mussels and Lobster sandwich is what we had. Got to be honest - mussels very good. We both had chips (fries) - must be the first time I have had underdone fries - not great. Lobster sandwich was fine but the bread was not special - tasted like a baguette you would get from Tesco and put in the oven but it was ok. I guess I was expecting more. The setting is a bit odd - tables not set with any cutlery or glasses which you would expect in a restaurant when you walk in. It wasn’t awful but it wasn’t great and I would likely not go back in the evening.

Beautiful food and lovely atmosphere. All courses cooked to perfection. Service friendly and professional. Limited choice of wine but good quality to pair with the meal.

Fabulous place, the food is always great. Imaginative and delicious. Vegetarians catered for by pre-order, and the first weekend of the month they have a meat option for meat lovers! Try it, you won't be disappointed! Can't add photos, I ate it 😋

We enjoyed a fabulous New Years eve meal. Oysters were divine, crab gratin sooo delicious. Will be back for more

The menu is quite small: 3 starters: 3 main courses and two puddings. So when you are told some of the courses are "finished" the remaining menu is very small. The food was OK, not brilliant. The table service was not particularly professional: no bread offered, when told food was off the menu the communication was simply "X isn't left". No apology. And for a restaurant which has a freezer full of fish dishes for sale it is a shame that an alternative wasn't offered in place of the dishes that were no longer available as stated on the menu. The drinks menu states that orange juice, pineapple juice and apple juice are available. Separately it states there is a variety of J2O drinks. When apple juice was requested, told only J20 drinks available. No juices of any kind available - so why does the menu contain them ? The person serving was souless and robotic. Just no softness or empathy of any kind. Physically there are about 10 tables in a small but pleasant setting. And no overpowering music being pumped out ensuring a good conversational atmosphere. For Sudbury it is slightly upmarket of some other town centre rivals. We paid £85 for food for two people with one beer and one bottle of water from a reduced menu with table service from a human who probably never smiles.

Collected a Shellfish Platter for two late morning last Friday, for consumption the following evening. Presentation was excellent, content included a good variation of seafood and - the most important part - it was delicious, washed down with some Champagne (not included!). Fairly priced and highly recommended if you're looking for a special meal.

My third visit to this small charming restaurant. I believe that the owner is also the chef. The menu is small, but the quality and presentation is excellent and very good value. What let's the Fishdish down is that the service tends to be a bit unpolished and slow, which is a shame. Oh and its only open Friday and Saturday evenings, otherwise I would eat there at least once a week! Maybe could do with a vegetarian option. Otherwise I would give it a 6 star rating
