The Marquis in Babergh

Wow! Arriving on a dull, drizzly and cold December day, even the weather could not cloud my Marquis experience. Entering via Reception you can see just how the Marquis has been transformed into a beautiful updated and upmarket building. The old and the new flow between and the visitor cannot fail to be impressed. We were here for Breakfast in the restaurant. Staff were attentive and friendly. Our order was taken and soon before us was the Marquis big breakfast and the vegetarian version. Plates are large, the food is very good quality. The best vegetarian sausages I have ever tried . My only drawback was I could not finish my plate it was huge but very reasonably priced. Following on from breakfast we had a tour of the building and I was able to see the various function rooms, Orangery and Wellness Suite. By the time we had to leave I honestly could have stayed. I did not want to leave. We will be back. Thank you Marquis for a lovely experience.

Very elegant establishment extended over the years to provide a great venue. The service was excellent and the food absolutely delicious. I must point out member of staff, Ollie James (behind the bar) was a credit to The Marquis. Polite friendly and knowledgeable with above average customer service. I`d of given 5 stars overall but it was a tad expensive.

Fabulous spot - the loveliest staff team who’s been excellent throughout. Building lovely and parking absolutely excellent. Beautiful views.

I hadn’t been here for several years, after a poor meal last time so decided to try it out again with a couple of friends. A huge amount of money has been spent and all looked very flashy. Unfortunately nothing has changed with the food. The prices are extremely high and do not reflect the quality at all. The dishes looked appetising but the taste was very poor, and my main course was drowning in a sauce which was inedibly salty. The service was ok, but again not consistent with the prices they are charging. I didn’t complain as didn’t want to ruin an evening with friends, but won’t be returning or recommending sadly.

Parents 65th Anniversary meal, just 5 of us. Food exquisite, staff lovely and attentative. As for the place itself, wow! Mr o' Leary you have style!

The place itself is amazing but not a good start to our evening in the restaurant. Not all menus were given to look at. Our drinks took ages to come after ordering and we had to ask for them. Once we had ordered and dinner arrived we had to ask for Cutlery. Fillet steak was very bland no flavour and beef Wellington was very soggy pastry which let it down completely. Over all not an experience wanting to go back to when the bill was a lot of money. We told staff about how we felt and nothing was done. So will not be returning unfortunately.

Fabulous celebration for my mum’s 90th birthday. Delicious meal, attentive service and great to have reserved the York Town Suite. Perfect in every way

We had booked a table and very much looked forward to visiting the Marquis to celebrate our daughter’s 21st birthday. Upon arrival there was no-one on reception, just a guy who said he’d go and find someone. After two or three minutes, a scattergun of receptionists did appear and we were shown to our table on the terrace. We ordered drinks which were slow to arrive. Straws were requested, but we had to ask again after 10 minutes as none had materialised. We shared olives and a baked Camembert with bread to start, which was OK. The main course took almost a hour to arrive, and even then the staff were muddled over what they were serving. Sauces were requested to accompany, but these never turned up. Staff were inattentive, and even they seemed resigned to just how poorly things were run. We had ordered another round of drinks after the first, but these took so long to turn up, we’d almost finished the meal by the time they’d arrived, even though we’d eventually found and asked a waiter where they were. The batter on the fish and chip dish was almost burnt, and the duxelles on the beef wellington was an almost inedibly salty sausage meat. Once finished (3 hours later) we asked for the bill, which also took an age to arrive, and whilst waiting for it, we were asked by another waitress if we wanted dessert or more drinks - seemingly no communication and no continuity. We had to take our card up to reception to pay, (some Wi-Fi signal strength excuse) rather than paying at the table and, when asked by the manager if all had been ok we said no, and explained how disappointed we were with the whole experience. He seemed to brush this off and didn’t offer anything off the bill, just a mild apology that they were short of staff, but asked rhetorically if the food was OK. We felt that we couldn’t make a huge fuss, our daughter’s birthday celebration was ruined (and we didn’t want to add to her upset) so we left feeling deflated, and quite frankly ripped off at paying over £200 for a below-par meal with awful service. Style over substance. We will not be returning

0 stars for this restaurant! I’m completely disgusted with the staff and the treatment my boyfriend received yesterday. He was talking to a waitress and explained that he is an alcoholic and ordered a mock tail, the waitress proceeded to serve him an alcoholic cocktail. For a “5 star” restaurant this is completely unprofessional and a violation! This restaurant has single handily broken his sobriety and which obviously made him very uncomfortable and upset. The response from the staff as not acceptable and they didn’t seem to care or think it was a problem! Don’t dine here unless you don’t mind being spiked.

Very disappointed- the service was appalling, everyone in the restaurant was getting irate, tables were not given menus, 45mins for a drink, one table got bread and no butter/oils it took 20 mins to get someones attention which by the time they had their bread was cold. People had to get up to get waiters attention or even yell across the restaurant not a very relaxing dining experience for my birthday. Lots of items on the menu they didn’t have. Our food arrived before our drinks, food was very average apart from the scallops they were delicious. I have been a fair few times and it seems to have lost its way. Very hotel vibes and soulless. Seems to be maybe a place to be ‘seen’ rather than a place to actually experience an enjoyable meal. I am gluten free which we put before we booked and told them countless times, yet still got some breadsticks. I was quite concerned the meal wouldn’t come gluten free as there were so many different people dealing with us. I am celiac so it is an issue. Would not recommend to those with any allergies. Too much confusion and wrong orders. Shame as used to be a nice place to go.

This was our third visit, we went when it first opened too. Won’t go back again, it’s lost its charm and what appeal it had. It now feels like a “footballers wives” wedding venue, not sure who designed and furnished it, it’s verging on tacky, lacking a bit of style in my opinion. Many will like the style, so I’d say go along and make your own mind up. It’s not a fine dining restaurant anymore it now feels like a hotel restaurant. On to the experience! Arrived and no one could park. Cars were going round in circles. The overflow was shut, just laid I think, terrible planning as a wedding was on. Plus why didn’t they email us to advise? Tip, ask if a wedding is on when you book and avoid if you can. Shown through to the restaurant (via the rabble of wedding guests) we were 30 mins early and were hoping for a drink outside on the terrace, or at least in their lovely snug bar while we perused the menu. Neither were offered (wedding guests now have the terrace) we could have sat on the balcony bit though, but that would have been all night and some of the party didn’t want that. Part of the experience of a nice meal out is the pre meal drink, I’d say work on that guys. (The seating is looking very tired, all the corners of the built in seats there is holes and foam showing through, sort this chaps!) Service is fine, not very engaging, but fine. We had a complimentary appetiser, posh bread sticks. Oh dear kind of set the tone. Naff! Food was ok, but clumsy. The flavours and style were not as refined as in past visits and in that sense don’t warrant the prices. All four of us left feeling disappointed. I will say, The Marquis will appeal to lots of people though, especially if you are easily wowed.

We visited The Marquis for the first time last night to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. The first impressions were good once you got past the building works - a modern feel in sympathy with the age and style of the building. The restaurant was quiet (not unexpected for a Thursday at the end of February), the waiting staff were attentive and personable, but not intrusive. The food was sublime. Everything was well cooked and well seasoned, all the elements on each dish could be tasted in their own right. I can honestly say that I have eaten in more decorated restaurants and not enjoyed my evening nearly as much. We will most certainly be back

Our first New Year’s Eve out for many years. So we were so happy everything went smoothly, from being greeted to wonderful service and food, nothing was too much trouble.

A most enjoyable place to stay and dine. The food is absolutely delightful especially the chateaubriand. The staff are positive and friendly, especially the management who went out of their way to see that we had an enjoyable stay after a rather very unpleasant experience at our previous accommodation. We enjoyed one dinners, a lunch and one breakfast and each time the food was of a very high standard, tasty, interesting and well presented. We certainly will be going back if we find ourselves in this neck of the woods again.

A really disappointing visit. It started poorly when after just 5 minutes we had to ask to move tables as the air con unit we were sat under was dripping on to us and the table. The people on table opposite laughed and told us that 15 minutes beforehand another party had asked to move from the same table for exactly the same reason. Bemused why the front of house gave us this table when others were available and they knew there was an issue?? Service was poor. Waiter was very pleasant. We waited what seemed an eternity (best part of 1 hour) for starters with the waiter coming over voluntarily and apologising for the delay. Starters were good. Mains were a real let down. The 2 who had the red mullet were really disappointed and both said it was bland tasting. I had the chicken and whilst it was ok it wasn’t a very exciting or tasteful dish. Cheese board was good. Two other small points but things for the restaurant to pick up on. We ordered dessert wines. A young waiter came over and said “two white wines”? We said we had ordered dessert wines and he said “ I don’t know, maybe that’s what they are”. That’s really poor for a high end expensive restaurant. Final gripe was we paid a £40 deposit. When the bill came it hadn’t been deducted. Given we were told every booking had to pay a deposit for the themed evening this should never have happened and demonstrated a lack of attention to detail. Such a shame it was a really disappointing evening especially as we have had some great meals here before. Standards seemed to have slipped and we will avoid a themed night in the future.

A marvellous gastronomic experience at this well maintained and well run establishment . Great location with equally great views from the rear of the property. We indulged ourselves in the sharing steaks, which were of ample proportion and tasty with a large prawn accompaniment. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for a great experience, not just for the food, but also the attentive service. First class in all departments.

Disappointingly a really poor experience. Initially we were greeted by a really friendly member of staff who promptly fetched our first drink order (coffee and pina colada). We were then pretty much abandoned even though the place had emptied of customers. We had to actively find someone for a second drink and my friend also ordered some fries. The non alcoholic mojitos we ordered were really different sizes; my friend's being much bigger than mine? I actually had hardly any real drink in my glass; mainly crushed ice and lime slices. It was as if the person preparing them really couldn't be bothered. Also, the fries were almost inedible as they hadn't been cooked? They were hard and cold. Again, we had to track someone down for our third drink. The member of staff was super courteous once we found her. The staff seemed preoccupied and the food was a let down. I'm quite dissatisfied.

Great welcome and bar area. Ordered strawberry daiquiri, not my first, tasted awful. Took it back and the bar staff said fine here have another drink free of charge. Got taken to our seats in front of a live musician. Great music but placement meant we couldn’t hear anything. Complained regarding but had to move restaurants and didn’t want to. Ordered starters; tasted great. Main came and we ordered sharing steak, for two person and as sharing expected two portions of veg, which came, two portions of chips, never came. Again asked regarding why they explained only comes with one portion of chips, fine. The lady said I’ll get you more I said no don’t worry she insisted then charged us the extra!!!! Steak was undercooked but now felt too embarrassed to argue. Bill came got charged for strawberry daiquiri asked for it to change for then the replacement drink to be charged. Couldnt be arsed to argue. Had better service, food and experience cheaper and in London.

They are getting their marketing bang on at the moment with they’re themed nights. We just did the Italian one which was lovely. Live singer to go with the Italian feel to accompany the Italian menu. The starters I had was excellent, however the main needed more flavour as it was a bit too bland. I do like this place as the decor and surroundings are fabulous and I really like the cocktail bar. However the girl serving the cocktails needs more personality. You need a cocktail maker/server that interacts with the client. Service is very good here but I do get the feeling that the food overall is average. Nevertheless overall if you want a nice dining experience with great atmosphere it’s here.

The Marquis never fails to disappoint! It is in such beautiful surroundings and the service is always excellent - delicious food and lovely cocktails. David in particular made sure we had the best experience - he really looks after you and he has such a friendly and warm manner and is so knowledgeable. 100% recommend and there are very exciting developments happening over the next few years!

Another phenomenal meal the the Marquis ! This is now the third time my partner and I have eaten at the Marquis….. Simply blown away, the service and food were impeccable…. So lovely to see a classy venue being consistently good this day in age. What a credit to the management and their team ! How this place does not have a Michelin star I do not know ! We will most definitely be back for more

This is the second time we have been and the food was excellent again. The views when dining outside are beautiful across the English countryside. There is a lot of building work going off adjacent to the restaurant as they expand their operations. It didn’t really impact on our enjoyment of the evening and wish them the best of luck with the new venture. If it’s as good as the current offering then it will be a cracker! It is a great place for a romantic meal, a group or family meal for a special occasion. I am sure we will return.

I wish I could give this restaurant 5 stars for the food as I really feel that the food is worthy of it! An excellent meal made with high-quality ingredients and presented beautifully. Each dish was very tasty and flavoursome. However, the service was really disappointing. The waiters and waitresses seemed to spend a lot of time in the kitchen entrance away from the diners. For most of our meal, there wasn’t a waiter/waitress in sight despite us and tables surrounding us having finished plates on our tables. Instead, they seemed to be having a great time chatting and laughing in the kitchen. (Absolutely no problem- but please not when guests are without drinks, are waiting for the bill or have empty plates on their table). When they did come over, there was absolutely zero charisma or enthusiasm and quite frankly, lots of the staff acted like they really didn’t want to be there. We ended up having to flag down a member of staff to get food menus, get our bill, then again to get the card machine to pay (our dessert plates were still on the table when we left). For a restaurant of this quality (and priced particularly), it’s really unexpected and a real shame.

Good was just okay, My husbands main course was luke warm, and for over£40 not good. The overall lunch experience was let down by the waiting staff, definitely need some training. The waitress snapped her fingers together for my husband to pass his plate. I read the reviews and a good number praise the restaurant, perhaps we are more discerning people and expected better service.

Cannot fault the location with views over the Brett valley, the food was excellent..great chefs and a lovely menu, and the staff could not have been nicer, well worth a visit.

Fantastic service, friendly staff, what a lovely find. We had breakfast on the terrace, the food was amazing, couldn’t fault any of it. Highly recommend if you are in the area to go check this lovely place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

I can now say this is the perfect place to with amazing views , went with family and my dog , we had a 5 star breakfast everything was perfect and I just want give a big shout out to the staff very good and made a few jokes that made us laugh 10 out of 10 for everything will be back very soon , keep it up

What a great class the maniger nic was so helpful all the staff was so professional very relaxing just what I needed food was great try the Sunday dinner so good try it you won’t regret it well done all

The moment we asked in it was that WOW moment. The decor was great where old meets modern. The staff and ambience was faultless and the food delicious. Look forward to our next visit.

Starting with stunning location, interior and great overall first impression (considering building works going). Very professional staff, attentive but not in your face. Great choice of the menu. Everyone would find something for themselves. Even if you very fussy. We didn’t go for the starters,...

I think the surprising thing is how this was not fully booked for breakfast, definitely a little secret as their breakfast is devine and for £20 its not far off a decent Cafe price for one and the location is so much better. Coffee and...

My partner booked the Marquis for a night away for us sort of last minute. We hadn't heard of it before and couldn't find many reviews so we took a chance. Well it was the best chance we have ever taken. From the minute we...

I like it when restaurants come up with novelty ideas and manage to avoid such events being "tacky". The management came up with this "French" evening last week. It was cool and we went. French flags everywhere. the staff all dressed in "French" theme attire....

Myself and my wife visited as met in the Marquis 11 years ago so thought it would be nice to have a meal where we met, big mistake. Ordered starters, chilli nachos and pigs in blankets on sticks, was told after 15 mins that no...

On/off over the last 6 months, my wife and I visit the Marquis and enjoyed yesterday a very good Sunday lunch. It was warm of course, but it was our choice to eat outside. Many diners opt to eat inside. We are retired and discerning...

Excellent food. Really good choice including a separate dairy free menu with 4 lovely desserts. We tried the chocolate brownie which was lovely but the coconut and pineapple panacotta in a dark chocolate shell was just superb...and dairy free :-) Lamb was so tender and...

Cannot believe how far below par The Marquis has fallen. Even during the pandemic, it was still making an effort. However the food is now, quite frankly, awful. The girl serving us had evidently had extremely minimal training (if any at all). The view towards...

Adapted starter... delicious... Main Course... Delicious... Coffee... wrong. I’m diabetic, I don’t take drugs and control my blood sugar by diet... I made the waitress aware of this at the start when ordering. Additionally, I made a note on the booking form when booking and...

Beautiful setting and excellent service from friendly staff. Yes it is relatively expensive but the food was very good quality and well cooked also the portions are fairly large. We really enjoyed our evening and will return soon hopefully. The lamb rump was delicious as...

Stunning place with lots of investment ongoing, but £28 for a burger! I’m sorry but it was really nothing special and seriously over priced.

We have been a few times and probably not as many as we would like; its a little drive for us, but worthwhile, especially on a sunny day, with views over the valley. It is fairly expense, but I noticed this time, some courses were...

Nipped in today to get some late lunch/early dinner and was totally amazed when I just went in! Then the ultra friendly staff greeted me and I was sat at the most comfortable seat I've ever sat on with one of the most spectacular views...

Thanks to all at the Marquis for a great Burns Night Dinner. Food, service and overall atmosphere made for an enjoyable evening.

We have visited the Marquis on several occasions in the past and have been very happy with service and food. But on a friendship meeting, the service was very slow, and the food more disappointing with chips well overdone and some of the food very...

Such a beautiful venue, but, sadly the food didn't live up to expectation. Altho there seemed plenty of staff and few customers, service was a bit on the slow side. Mains are expensive but we knew that before we went and it was a belated...

Service was poor food was.far too much and expensive. Le Talboth is better by far and priced comparably

We were staying in the area and decided to treat ourselves at a lovely restaurant. We were not disappointed. We arrived to be asked whether we would like to eat in the private wine cellar. How amazing. We ordered nibbles and cocktails and they were...

A terrible experience from start to finish! The burger was burnt and dry , the lobster slaw had no lobster in it and all of this for only £26! The staff won’t go hungry as they slump across the prep counter but the customer will...

Good call, lunch at the Marquis on new years day, outstanding food and very pleasant staff. Very well laid out, look forward to enjoying it in the summer, gardens are well landscaped.

Had a fantastic evening, with excellent food, wonderful atmosphere and outstanding service! The Maitre de needs to be praised as there was an unreasonable customer and he remained professional and polite throughout when others may have not!

We had an exceptional meal on New Years Eve and thoroughly enjoyed everything about the experience. We only booked the night before as our plans had changed so the only space available was the wine cellar at 5pm - how lucky were we! Our own...

Quite a modern interior in a lovely rural setting with countryside views (especially if you sit outside), but quite sympathetically done. Good, attentive service all the way through. The food was both delicious and beautifully presented. A more interesting and varied wine list than expected....

Service and food was incredible. Of course a little pricey, but well worth it for everything! Looking forward to my next visit!

We are a regular visitor to The Marquis and you cannot ever be disappointed with the food ! However guys !!!! The drink prices are ridiculous! £11 for a G&T and £15 for a large glass of wine is ridiculous. These are higher than some...

Came to this restaurant thinking it’ll be nice but it’s really nice, waiters were nice food was nice

We’ve enjoyed breakfast, lunch afternoon tea and evening meals on several occasions as this venue is close to our home. Food and service has always been fantastic and the chateaubriand is a go to celebration meal. The outdoor seating areas are beautiful.

We hadn’t been before but it was highly recommended. We ate outside and it was a warm day, if a litltle cloudy. Pleasant seating though and the inside restaurant looked lovely. Service is excellent and the food was very good. We came for lunch and...

Lovely location and cannot fault the service but food good not excellent and the price of food and especially the drinks was exorbitant.

Excellent dining experience. Food was great and cooked with care. The service was awesome - thank you Jess and Daisy for your attentive service with a smile.

Innovative menu, beautifully presented food and attentive service made our impromptu lunch pretty special. Pretty views off the terrace an added bonus. Thanks

Food is delicious, prawn toast outstandingly light and tasty. Service very friendly and prompt. Highly recommend this hotel/restaurant.

We visited the Marquis last week - as a change to our usual haunts of the restaurants in the Milson's Group (all of which we like a lot). Big disappointment. On the plus side the views over the valley were stunning and it was a...
