This was our second visit to this beautiful pub and once again it didn’t disappoint. Lovely friendly staff, a cosy environment and delicious food. Can’t wait to come back.

We have visited the four horseshoes over the past 8 years, a traditional pub and service and food has been consistently good, especially when the Carvery was in place. Constructively, I would suggest the Sunday Roasts have become smaller and the vegetables are not of a great quality. This is not to say we won’t be back soon as we have previously enjoyed our visits and the food and will be back again next month. Service is good and would ask that you check the quality and portion sizes, however I understand that all products have had significantly price increases.

This place has got it spot on, a very appealing menu which is all superbly cooked with good portions at the right price, ( unlike so many places with small portions at top price) happy attentive staff which makes for a very warm atmosphere, we travel the half hour as often as we can, we have never been disappointed,

My family and myself had an amazing Sunday dinner lunch on my Birthday. The food is a Sunday Roast/ meat eaters delight. Not to mention veggie options. Can honestly say it’s the best Sunday lunch I have experienced. As ever, the staff were incredibly attentive, friendly and polite. Our Dog was also more than looked after with treats and attention. I must also mention Tracy whom made our visit special on my Birthday. We will be going back soon ! The Paul Collins family

Amazing food, 1st class service, we ate here 4 times during our 10 day camping trip,every meal was delicious, the staff are hard working and so lovely. Recommend the ham and eggs, steak and ale,lasagne and the gammon. The desserts are to die for, particularly the flake cheesecake. Beautiful building and garden, super dog friendly, even the dogs got a treat. Great value for money, quality food 👌

Popped in for a meal, whilst staying nearby, and this pub was recommended by many ,so thought we would try it.not disappointed. Large, olde pub with ample outside seating in lovely beer garden.dogs made very welcome. Thanks to Tracy who kept our dog suitably impressed with a sausage or two, while waiting for his whitebait starter. We enjoyed the steak pie, with veg followed by nice desserts, sticky toffee pud, and a waffle.very nice food, quick and tasty. Staff really made it for us, genuine and friendly. Tracy was most hospitable and made us really welcome. Big Carpark too.

Love going here! Had to take our family when visiting from Australia. Tracey was as lovely and welcoming as ever. Food amazing. Definitely recommend the sticky toffee pudding. Love the wide range of options for gluten free. My husband loves the Sunday toast with three different size options. A great place to eat. Very welcoming and an old English pub.

After a busy working morning,my partner and i fancied a nice meal fairly local to where we live. I had visited the pub with friends some 5 years ago and had a lovely meal then so we decided we would go there. No problems booking a table so we arrived in due course. On arrival,we had the friendliest of welcome from the waitress and were shown to a nice,secluded table,after which the waitress lit a candle which was a lovely touch. A lady called Tracy introduced herself and was more than happy to talk about this historical pub that has its own wishing well dating back hundreds of years. Drinks were served promptly and our order was taken. We both opted for the steak and mushroom pie which was simple delicious. The pastry melted in your mouth and the meat was tender and flavoursome. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the gravy was so tasty. Tracy was attentive but not intrusive. Our meal was rounded off by waffles and ice cream which were to die for,complimented by maple syrup and chocolate sauce. We left extremely satisfied by the food,service and the ambience at this charming pub. A first class experience awaits you at the Four Horseshoes. Thank you Tracy and your girls-We will be back!!

I cannot thank you Tom and your staff enough. You arranged everything and it was perfect. Staff had to take orders from guests who were inside, under the covered area and scattered across the lovely pub garden. Their patience was amazing and nothing was too much trouble when it came to finding guests who had given their orders for drinks and food and then scattered around the pub and grounds. Tom, your staff are a credit to you and they could have not been more helpful and friendly. The food was great and the setting was perfect. It could not have been better.

We made a reservation here for dinner for my partner's birthday. The food was delicious, with speedy service.We had the camembert bites for starter. My partner had the steak, and I had a chicken breast burger. Both were delicious... The pudding stole the show which was a homemade cheesecake with a brownie base! With the covid situation, there were plenty of tables with some of these under shelter with heaters.Would highly recommend.

Stayed here for a couple of nights while house hunting in the area. On the face of it, the menu looks fairly standard fare but it is all so well cooked and flavoured that the result takes is way above the average. Some of the best whitebait I have ever had in generous but not silly quantities and an excellent breakfast. Waiting staff were delightful throughout. Really enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day. I think they could be a little more adventurous with their wine list. It is adequate but the food deserves better.

We have visited this restaurant before and had an absolutely wonderful meal with excellent food and friendly service. The last visit was sadly a different experience.Why is there a problem?We returned for a Birthday dinner with the family. 5 persons in total including my two daughters aged 23 and 21. When ordering alcoholic drinks at the table to accompany the starters for our meal, the waitress asked for ID from my youngest daughter. Since she was not driving or paying she had not brought anything with her, not expecting to need anything. Now I accept that maybe not bringing ID was an oversight, but we were eating. The waitress pointed out a sign that was behind the bar that said If you look under 25 then we will ask for ID. Now I accept that in normal times when young people may be walking up to the bar and ID is required - quite right. I did discuss this with the waitress, as my daughter was distressed. However we were eating and I did ask if it was OK, but the there was no change to the reply.I accept that people that are under 18 yrs can look older so appreciate the rules - At the bar!The law is quite specific, It is not illegal:For someone over 18 to buy a child over 16 beer, wine or cider if they are eating a table meal together in licensed premises.For a child aged five to 16 to drink alcohol at home or on other private premises. Therefore on this occasion the age limit would be 16 in our company. To be under 16 and therefore illegal my daughter would have to be 15 yrs old. With no stretch of the imagination could she have been 15yrs old.I fully respect the law but this was very poor interpretation of a company rule, and misguided by referring to 18 yrs old. As a result my daughter did not want to eat initially. It completely ruined the atmosphere of a celebration. The meal cost almost £150 and I feel we had a very poor night out. I would ask the management to instruct their staff to use some common sense, and ensure that they know the age is 16 yrs for someone eating in the company of adults.

We popped in for a lunch on a lovely sunny afternoon, we had two big dogs so decided to sit out side. The very helpful staff said we could sit inside but as it was sunny we wanted to enjoy being outside. The service was excellent and the food was great, we had the steak, ale and mushroom pie with mash and veg and the pepper chicken with chips and peas of the specials menu. Both were very tasty and cooked perfectly, when we are in the area next year we will be back.

We have just returned from a 2 night break at the Four Horseshoes. Have to say that the service and food were both excellent! The young ladies serving were cheery and attentive, and the food delicious - we had steaks the first night (cooked to perfection and with the best onion rings!) and pies the 2nd night. The cooked breakfasts were also lovely and fresh, and certainly set you up for the day. The room was comfortable and spotless; the only slight critiscm would be that the doors are a bit fiddly to lock, as you have to do it from the inside before you come out. Felt very 'covid safe' with lots of hand sanitiser around, and everyone wearing masks and keeping their distance.We would certainly stay here again if we ever come back to Suffolk!

After a number of recommendations from friends i tried a take-away meal. It was not a good experience. I was told to arrive 30 mins later and call to let them know I was there and the food would be brought out 5 mins later. I arrived at 8pm and called. At 8:20 I went in to ask what had happened. My two meals arrived 5 mins later. One of the meals was Chinese Chicken Curry. It was dreadful. It was actually a mushroom curry with bits of breaded chicken (perhaps chicken nuggets or similar cut up) in the mix. The meal didn't taste very Chinese and certainly not of curry. Not sure what it was but i didn't eat it. Had it not been late and raining i would have taken it back. Fortunately, my wife had ordered burger and chips so I shared her chips. On the up side, the front of house staff were polite and attentive as I was waiting. I think maybe the chef had an off night but I won't be trying any more take-aways from there.

After a very expensive, sleepless night in the cottage at The Park Hotel in Diss we called The Four Horseshoes as we realised that they did actually have rooms that allowed dogs and we spoke to a lovely lady called Karen who booked us in immediately for the following two nights.What a truly charming pub this is with staff who actually genuinely care about their customers. The room was lovely and extreemly clean and the food was honest and very reasonably priced. The breakfast was superb. It is so rare these days to find a pub like this - we should know as we are publicans ourselves! We honestly can't recommend this place highly enough - go see for yourselves, you won't be disappointed.

The service and ordering from The Four Horseshoes was excellent. All social distancing and hygiene was observed and the staff were really friendly. So you can imagine my disappointment when i got the food home.The portions were pathetic for all 3 meals, i mean really poor (see pic, sauce packet for scale). I ordered fish and chips at £9.00. Its a 'Pub takeaway' fish and chips, i know you can't compare to a chippy but even so... I have been supporting all the local pubs doing takeaways and this is by far the worst i've had unfortunately.

Lovely lunch out with friends. Comprehensive menu with plenty of choice for the fussiest eaters, in a quaint atmosphere. Good service, attentive without being too intrusive. Only one small niggle, please find a better way of serving condiments like ketchup and mayonnaise at the table. Picking up a small cardboard pot which almost bends in half as soon as it's touched and resembles something you find on the pills trolley in hospital is not ideal. Maybe a very small ramekin would do the job instead.

Mum and I found ourselves on a coach day trip for a mystery lunch, quite unexpectedly. The coach driver said he’d never had a party stay so long for lunch but the inn was so lovely; the staff were friendly and cheerful but very professional, too and the meal was delicious. The roast beef was beautifully cooked (nicely pink in the middle but there was a well done option, too for people that way inclined); the veg was plentiful and fresh; the Yorkshire puddings were on a par with my mother in law’s (none better!) and, finally, the roast potatoes...fill your plate with as many as you can without shaming yourself...seriously the best. This was followed by the nicest (homemade) Christmas pudding I’ve ever had with a pool of fine custard and a good coffee. This pretty place is highly recommended and we will be back next year. ♥️

Dads birthday treat, decided to try this for a Sunday carvery for 6 of us and our 1 year old daughter. We had booked a table in advanced ‘good job’, we were seated near the carvery, on first impressions I thought it was going to be very dark and small, it was very spacious and cosy. The carvery was really excellent, no words can explain how fresh and succulent it was really was. They accommodated my daughter extremely well by letting us have extra veg. The deserts were... incredible, you can tell they were homemade, the lemon crunch cheesecake and the Eton mess were amazing! If your thinking of booking for any type of occasion lunch/dinner I would highly recommend, food, service, waitresses just wow! The waitresses were so friendly, polite and just so lovely, they do the four horseshoes extremely Proud! So thankyou for such an amazing time. We will be back!

Looking for 1 nights accommodation in the area for a family of 3, we booked a one nights stay at The Four Horseshoes. What a find!! Every single member of staff was genuinely friendly and attentive and made us feel very welcome. A wonderful pub with a great atmosphere and food. Our room was great - and nice and spacious for a family of three. And the cooked breakfast in the morning was amazing!! We will definitely come back. Thank you to all the staff for making us feel so welcome.

Tried to book a table only to be told earliest Available was 2.30, so after a nice long walk round Thornham we returned for a great carvery, lovely choice of meats, wide selection of veg and all the trimmings, all freshly cooked. Dog friendly too, Gus joined in with a chorus of happy birthday

Been looking forward to eating here as heard such good things about the carvery. Being vegetarian I ordered the nut roast but a little unsure with it being a Moroccan nut roast. To be honest it was really quite unpleasent as a vegetarian option. Spicy flavours and no sign of any nuts, really didn't go with roast pots, Yorkshire puds and all the veg. Tasted and looked more like a risotto, don't think I would bother going again unless they coukd offer something more suitable for a vegetarian roast.

Great ambience, low ceilings (you have been warned!) traditional thatched pub. Good range of beers and gins. Food excellent. Try the roasts, superb and the home made steak and ale pie. Lots of parking across the lane and of course....dog friendly. They do accommodation as well but not used it. Thoroughly recommended.

We often meet family here as it halfway between our homes. The menu is consistently excellent. We usually choose from the specials menu and have never been disappointed. Service is spot on.

Dropped into the Four Horseshoes for a bit of dinner. Local to us and has an amazing character. 400 + years old, beams, thatched roof, nooks and crannies. We ordered from the Specials. A seafood risotto, which came with salad and garlic bread, very tasty. The two alpha males chose the extra cheesey burger. 2 x 4oz local butchers beefburger, served in a bun with cheddar, brie, Camembert bites, homemade beer battered onion ring stabbed with a steak knife (which was impressive) with cheesey chips and a silly little paper cup (like McDonalds) filled with coleslaw. This is a quality pub with rooms and they serve the coleslaw and extra sauces in these cheap paper (non recyclable) pots. The other local hostelry uses small pottery ramekins for all their sauces, so why doesn't the Four Horseshoes do the same. It was a good quality, very filling, tasty and at £15, I

Visited here with my wife and dog for lunch, it was really very good. Had a very warm welcome when we arrived and service continued to be excellent throughout. Food was nice pub fare. Overall good value for money. Would recommend to others.

Went with a group of walkers for a midweek lunch. Ordered our food before commencing our walk, on our return and after a leisurely drink, our food arrived exactly as ordered, and without exception was enjoyed by everyone. The staff were very friendly and professional.

It's a lovely room, I'll give it that: low beams + a hearth. And you can't beat tables outside. Shameful, then, to see such appalling service.

A considerable improvement in the food quality since my last visit which was admittedly a few years ago. There is a varied menu with lots of options to suit all tastes and a specials menu. The prices are fair for the quality and the portion size, which is generous. The summer chicken was very popular in our group - I had a burger with mozzarella,tomato & pesto which was also very good.

Staying overnight and have just had the most amazing meal. Fillet steak was absolutely divine and the lamb shank was the best my husband had ever had. Lovely setting, lovely ambience and lovely staff too.

A nice old country pub that has a restaurant but still has a decent bar space. We had a drink a a nice lunch from their extensive menu. Even though it was a Monday it was amazingly busy. Good service, good beer and good food.

Came here one evening for food, did have one of my pet hates which is when you walk in and don’t no what to do, do you go to the bar or just find a seat yourself for food? never the less (you go to the bar to be seated) the service was really good, we were served by a young girl who was extremely polite and helpful, food was good with large portions. I would recommend and would return to this restaurant.

Had a birthday meal here, after the kids booked it (and paid for it btw) The pub is very cosy and the food very nice. We had starters and also drinks to start, and they were all tasty. Main was piggy pie, locally made and very very tasty, well cooked and well presented. The only problem I had was it should have been served with gravy ( i should have asked really) because it was quite dry.

Popped in on the off-chance of getting a gluten free meal. After checking we got a table with a menu with quite a few gf options annotated on the menu. Had battered prawns with a cajun dip which the wife enjoyed. I had the chicken skewer not gf but very nice. Staff very friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced and close to where we were staying.

Very sorry to say our meal was mediocre, which is a shame as I would love to support this community local pub. I felt the menu choices were fairly limited, the only main special was the pie - roast pork and leek, which I thought an odd combo for a pie. I had the chicken burger - the bread was that floppy cheap sort of roll that comes ready cut, the burger was just OK, nothing special. The service was very good however, no complaints there. Maybe we just hit a bad night.
