The Neathouse in Suffolk Coastal

We often treat ourselves to a nice brunch here and it never disappoints us. There is always a different selection of freshly baked treats, both sweet and savoury. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly. If the weather is nice, you can sit outside and enjoy the view of the church too.

We really enjoyed a sausage roll, delicious carrot cake and some coffee. Shame the lady at the till was not very welcoming and it was too expensive.

We visited this cafe with our two young children and we all had their delicious toasties followed by a selection of their heavenly homemade cakes. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, it’s a great place to take children and very well placed being adjacent to the village green. We’ll definitely be returning, fab coffee too and great value for money. Thank you 😊

We contacted by email The Neathouse to ask a question and had a prompt reply. We both had breakfasts and the options were clear and the food was heavenly. Just what we needed. Lovely pot of tea in a superb setting. We will return without doubt! Thank you

A really warm welcome and a dog friendly place to rest and refresh. Good pot of tea and a tasty coffee. Husband was tempted by the Bakewell slice and I was delighted to be offered a fork to help him out as it was delicious. We can’t wait to come again for lunch. A great selection of food and drink and brilliant customer service, nothing was to much effort we really appreciated the advice on the village (and the paint colours)

Forget the penny pinching remarks some have left. If you want good quality coffee, home made cakes and proper bacon, fresh salad and veg , sourced ethically locally etc , then it will be more than a McDonald's happy meal won't it lol. If you love good service, quality food ,service with a smile and a beautiful view in Lovely Suffolk then go.. thanks Ladies, always love it.

The Neathouse may be a delightful surprise for visitors and tourists, but it also plays a central role in the Dennington community. The quality of the food - much of it prepared with local ingredients, is top notch. But the cakes and pastries are on a different level. While you can always enjoy them in the café or at one of the sunny tables outside, locals phone and order their extraordinary full-size cakes to take home. Great value too!

Scrumptious food, lovely staff, ambiant atmosphere, plenty seatings outdoor on the sunny side. We had a ‘large English breakfast’ and made up amazing veggie version, no fake meat, just real food!

A warm welcome and a lovely breakfast. This is one of my favourite places and not only for breakfast. The dining room is warm even on a cold December day. In the summer, it's a delightful stop because the outside seating is in a sunny spot and shielded from the traffic (not much anyway).

Friendly service and a good selection of tasty sandwiches made to order. Excellent cakes and local produce too. Everything of a high standard and just what we needed.

I used to rave about this place. 3 bacon sandwich toasted 4 coffees £43. Yes £43 Go if you have a fat wallet

Absolutely delicious breakfast and amazing, friendly service. Will definitely go back soon. 👍 Hreat value for money.

Friendly staff, lovely coffee and one of the best salt beef sandwiches I’ve ever had. Travelling solo today so appreciated the warm hospitality and conversation - looking forward to going back.

What a glorious find as we travelled through the area. Fatastic coffee and the homemade, freshlymade sandwiches were amazing. No village should be without somewhere like this

Had a lovely experience here stopping in at the small cafe for a late lunch on bank holiday Monday. Easy parking, outside seating to enjoy the sunny aspect on the green, great freshly made sandwiches (so filling we didn't have room left for the cakes but they looked amazing). The thing that really made it special though was the staff and service - positive, friendly, fun and speedy. Just created a really nice vibe. Thanks!

Lovely setting, awful coffee. Cold and barely able to taste coffee despite asking for extra shot. Avoid, go to Fram instead.

Often stop here on motorbike bike runs. Never fazed by a queue of bikers. Always a friendly service. Beautiful setting and the most amazing cakes you will find!!

Vashti is a truly amazing baker. My husband and I ordered two three tier cakes (St Clementine's & lemon with blackcurrent) + 25 scones for our garden celebration. Vashti created absolutely beautiful, scrumptious bakes and we (+ our family & friends) enjoyed these thoroughly, thank you so much! A number of our guests complimented your skills! Very yummy.

Absolutely fine but nothing particularly exciting. The coffee was weak and milky. Prices weren’t marked on the blackboard so you had to either ask or take your chances.

Fabulous gem of a cafe, the best cheese scones, bakewell and gorgeous coffee. Everything sourced locally, lovely friendly staff. I highly reccommend a visit.

Visited with my husband for full English breakfast and 2 coffees. Such a lovely little place with a lovely friendly lady serving. I noticed a previous review stating its expensive. I really don't agree with this as you really get good quality food and such a lovely atmosphere. Even the sauces for breakfast were good quality. Will definitely be visiting again for afternoon tea next time.

Travelling across country not sure where we were and desperate for a cuppa and sandwich. 1st pub finished food at 2pm 2nd was closed. We came round a bend in Dennington and spotted an open sign pointing to a tiny cafe on the village green .Cakes to die for, one of the best filled tuna sandwiches I’ve had ,hubby had a good salt beef with mustard mayo, and nice pot of tea. Quirky interior very British odd chairs and pretty tea sets.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast with local produce and a cheerful host. We stopped for a breakfast and coffee and left in love again. Such a therapeutic experience and a soul cleanser! Will recommend/come again

Wow, what can I say! I love cafes and tea rooms but this is without doubt the best I have been to. Set opposite the beautiful church in Dennington, the Neat House offers a fantastic array of the most delicious cakes and savouries. The coffee...

Stopped for quick lunch on rainy day. Very welcoming staff, plenty of choice, soup, sandwiches, poached eggs with bacon etc. on sour dough toast, cakes, scones, flapjack, etc. Plenty of space inside & outside when dry. Also a community shop with lots of fresh produce....

Lovely coffee and warm, friendly and efficient service. Called in with a friend for a cuppa and a chat. We didn't have food on this occasion but everything looked amazing, so we will be back.

Happened to stubble across this little gem whilst out on the road for work. Received such a warm welcome by 3 ladies at the till. This place has such a homely and cosy feel. I ordered a BLT and glass of lemonade. I sat in...

These guys are professional in the sandwich department- we were 4 people and everything was delicious- really fresh and juicy fare. Do not drive or ride by if you have N appetite for something sweet or savoury- hard to resist the cakes 🍰. Next time!!

I was half way through a 90k ride when all energy left me. For 15k my one thought was to make it to Fram. The Neathouse appeared like an oasis in the desert. And what an oasis. They could not have been more kind and...

Really friendly and professional staff, with lovely food and coffee. Just what was needed on our walk. Will definitely be back when I'm next in the area

Always a warm welcome at the Neathouse. The coffee is great and there is always an amazing selection of cakes and other treats. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

What a warm welcome and amazing service. We not only had scrumptious cakes and coffee while we were there but we took some fantastic pies, sausages rolls and a loaf of artisan bread home! Husband, chief pie eater has declared the chilli beef pie one...

Price boards are very deceiving. From £2.50 means about £6 apparently. While the food was tasty it simply isn’t worth the price! 3 bacon rolls and a sandwich with tea set us back the better part of £30. My advice, question the price of EVERYTHING....

I grew up knowing that the cowshed was always called the ‘nettus’, or neat house, so when I noticed the Neat House one day, I simply had to return and see what it as like. I’m writing a book about Suffolk’s rural past, which gave...

A wonderful Café adjacent to the A1120 in the heart of the village. The coffee and cakes are excellent and can be enjoyed alfresco. If you need something more filling I would recommend the sausage rolls. Before Covid, The Neathouse was the place to go...

Not only is the Neathouse a great little cafe with dreamy cakes, superb coffee and next level sandwiches, it also has fruit, veg and pretty much everything else you need. The only thing that surpasses this is Vashti’s effervescent personality which makes me a regular...

What a treat! We collected an afternoon tea to celebrate Mother’s Day.. wonderfully organised, friendly greeting, ready on time and beautifully packaged. Numerous home baked cakes to try, truly delicious! This delightful little café also sells a selection of artisan cheeses and freshly cut flowers,...

Just as the Suffolk Food awards have noted, this is a wonderful and friendly place to visit. We had the coffee walnut as well as a rich chocolate ganache cake and they were both exceptionally good. The portion were generous and we will come again.

We were passing, in need of some lunch and were lucky to find the Neathouse. Lovely friendly service and a beautifully fresh salad - just what I was looking for. Thank you!

We had the most delicious afternoon tea at The Neathouse in celebration of a wedding anniversary. Nothing was too much trouble for Vashti and her team who catered for gluten free, dairy free, and vegan diets - and the sausage rolls are amazing! Plenty of...

What a gem, food amazing and always a warm welcome. Absolutely love the place, Suffolk at its best ❤️❤️

Vashti is the most amazing, friendly, attentive and helpful host. Her sausage rolls are incredible. My daughter loves them.

Absolutely AMAZING food and drink, the staff were so accomodating and friendly we will definately be back! we went to the Neathouse in Dennington today as it had been recommended to us. we had our 3 year old son and our friends older son who...

all of the previous reviews are glowing in their opinions, and I agree we have used a couple of times now after gym, both for breakfast, coffee and some takeaway coffee, good food, great coffee which I like as its not served in the usual...

Superb all round and possibly the best sausage rolls i have ever tasted !, Friendly place and nice location.

Excellent service and really friendly team offering fresh food / snacks and coffee. Highly recommended for cyclists and dog walkers. We will be back.

This is a really good cafe/tea room just opposite the church in Dennington with home made cakes and food sourced locally. Vashti accommodated the whole of our walking group with cheerful ease and great efficiency. It was raining so we had to be inside, there...

We were lucky enough to be staying just a 5 minute drive down the road from Dennington village and enjoyed breakfast at this lovely cafe on a couple of occasions during our time in Suffolk. It's only tiny inside, but was absolutely perfect for breakfast...

A couple of visits recently – looking forward to going back. I had the small breakfast on both occasions and they were both just lovely. Coffee is superb. The location is a major plus. It faces away from the road looking out onto a green...

Been here a few times now whilst passing through on my motorbike,they do excellent an quality English breakfast which I can't recommend enough and a very nice seating area outside in a village green. Great food and a perfect setting to enjoy.

This is what Dennington needed. An amazing cafe with amazing food and coffee. Cakes are fantastic and breakfasts are something else!

Me and a friend had a simply wonderful large breakfast, everything was high quality and cooked to perfection. The decor is delightful and the manager is always chatty and cheerful. We will definitely visit again!

Thanks again for an amazing breakfast.. it’s the best one I had in Uk.. the staff is friendly and very good at there job too... they sells the best fresh eggs and honey for a massive barging

Lovely cooked breakfast and old fashioned pot of tea. Lots of lovely cakes, Victoria sponge amazing. Great atmosphere and fantastic staff. Well worth a visit.

we went to the Neathouse in Dennington today as it had been recommended to us. we had our 3 year old son and our friends older son who has additional needs. The staff were friendly, accomodating and went above and beyond to help us making...

Whilst exploring the area we stumbled across this lovely gem of a place. It was sunny and warm so we sat outside with our dog. A great choice of cakes etc and the host brought all our items out to us. My partner loved the...

We popped in by chance and were very happy with the reception any care taken over what was only tea and cake. Apparently all cooking is done in house so a repeat visit for lunch seems a good idea. I have found out from someone...

Amazing local food, location and staff. What more could you want?! The treacle tarts are incredible.

All fantastic but disastrous bright red refuse bins spoiling the heritage conservation environment and one left blocking footpath, opposite church , in open view from all directions . Unfortunate .

Fabulous hospitality, food and ambience. Very clean, all food prepared to order and cakes baked by Vashti. Lovely opportunity for Dennington, so glad you came and that I live just around the corner. Can't think of better place to meet up for coffee/light meal with...

You must visit this gorgeous little coffee shop. Delicious and tempting food. I had the eggy bread, streaky bacon and maple syrup this morning - it was delicious. Also had a lovely pot of tea and it’s not often I enjoy tea as much as...
