The Sorrel Horse Inn & Public House in Mid Suffolk

Had a lovely meal in friendly surroundings. Very satisfied

Hospitable and very friendly,animal friendly, great pub.,

Very nice family pub and restaurant lovely staff, nice little play area and great food

Very friendly and homely feel, lovely Breakfast, and very nice Rooms,

Looks like school dinners but tastes great, was surprised at the burgers and beef horse raddish sandwiches. Get the impression that its family run, the staff are great. Kids play area which is off to the side, is really well laid out so parents can see all. The environment and the other patreons are really good folk. This just one of those really good places to be, and will make great memories.

Why oh why do small businesses not put decent beds in their rooms, I'm afraid that obviously why on my travels, I stay 90% of the time at Premier Inn. I really want to support local business on my travels, but the beds are so cheap and soft. I'm sure there are good beds our there in the smaller hotels, but I've yet to find one. I won't even go into the bit where I asked for crispy bacon ..

Not great service, got dodgy flat Coke. Meals arrived at the table, one of which was incorrect, wrong cut of steak. No mushrooms which was requested at ordering and steak arrived with mushrooms over it. This had to be addressed, when food arrived and this had to be changed. Sauce for steak then had to be chased also. The waitress then lied and told Sarah (not sure of her position at the pub) but if she is a senior member of staff, she definitely should not be one) that one of us had raised our voices at her waitress when we chased the steak sauces, which wasn't the case as had 4 other witnesses at my table to prove this. Rather than actually talking to us about about this in a professional manner, Sarah was rude, gave us attitude and told us that if thats what her staff said appened, then it happened and she will always back her staff over customers. Very disappointing for a pub that we have use alot . I would like to highlight the disgraceful.member of staff Sarah in this review, who really needs to sort her attitude out, totally unacceptable. I will be raising an official complaint regarding our experience and have put a request in for this and am currently awaiting a reply. Sarah's attitude and conduct has lead me to put up this 1 star review .

Sat outside. The Sorrel Horse has plenty of outdoor seating and the play area is good. The food ordering was easy, with a short waiting time for the food to arrive. Chips and sandwiches were of a good size and price. Staff very helpful and pleasant. I went during a weekday lunch hour so it wasn't overly busy. Would definitely order fish and chips as people around me who ordered were clearing their plates of the food.

Lovely food will definitely be back

We have had numerous visits with family to the Sorrel Horse for many years, has a great atmosphere, good food and service, highly recommended.

Great garden for the kids to play, staff couldn't be more helpful

Nice warm pub for a drink or two

Waitress was really polite and helpful and we all enjoyed our meals of steak and ale pie, grilled trout and scampi.

Great traditional pub with beams and fire place. Homemade food and good-sized portions. Play area for the children. Plenty of space inside and out. Often cater for major sporting events such as The World Cup, Euros etc. with marquees set up. Local bands often play here too. Staff are fab. Perfect pub to stop at on a countryside walk. Dogs welcome!

Rude bar woman! Got stroppy because we didn't have a table number before ordering food. We had walked straight in from parking up. Instead of being rude rolling her eyes and shaking her head she could have just asked us to pop back in with our table number (we sat outside) turned out she followed us out anyway to get the number. Won't bother going back.

Great local pub with lovely food and staff. Nice selection of beers etc and loads of outdoor seating for the summer. Recommended

Lovely as always, great food and friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Good food and staff were freindly

Excellent Sunday roast, friendly helpful staff.

One of my favourite Suffolk pub/hotel. Always a great atmosphere and a warm welcome. Good food and ample portions. Rooms are clean and comfortable and well worth a stay here.

Fantastic food, friendly staff top draw all around

Fabulous roast ! Very tasty and plentiful!

We have quite literally just got back home, after having a lovely meal. I had the Lamb and Leek Casserole, it was so lovely, it tasted like my grandma’s lamb casserole. We have never been before, but would very much recommend to other people, a very welcoming pub, and the staff were really lovely, so thankyou.

I went here for a Sunday lunch and I was not disappointed at all. My food was very good. It only took the starters about 7 minutes to get to the table after I ordered it. It was so nice and chill inside.

We went with friends for drinks and dinner. Lovely country pub with two fireplaces, so lovely and warm. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

Great food, great hospitality. We stayed one night and it was very clean, pleasant and a great atmosphere. Included breakfast was delicious and last nights tea was tasty too. Would highly recommend

Although not staying, met up with friends who were and we ate together. Steak and Ale Pie was a proper pie, not a stew with a crust floating on top, nice shortcrust pastry. Nice beer too

Fantastic food, beer, people with good atmosphere, and lets your fur babies in....

Great pub, great food, great staff. What more can I say. Keep up the good work 👌

A nice pub, was busy with customers. The food was lovely, a nice place to relax and enjoy a drink.

Lovely Sunday night atmosphere, a warm welcome and a warm fire can’t ask for much more. Beautiful old school Suffolk pub!!

Pour a nice Guinness, good service, lav needs a little update but that's the worst thing I can say!

We went for lunch. We were part of a large party. We were late for our booking, so after the busy period. The food was lovely. I had the lamb hotpot and my husband had the pork goulash. However the service was slow. It took 45mins from ordering to food being served.

Nice village pub. Food was good and served pretty quick from ordering.

Stayed here on Monday night. Staff are very pleasant and friendly. Room was lovely and snug. Twin room to myself. Would definitely stay here again. Great night's sleep. Thank you

Food is lovely and atmosphere great

Nice atmosphere... food was delish 😋 😍

Very busy pub so must be popular with locals. Food average, service good will be in no hurry to return

Sfeervolle B&B met perfect ontbijt

Didn't stay, just a visit for a beer with a mate for his belated birthday

My absolute favourite pub. Been going to the Sorrel Horse for years and years. The food is the best. The service is great. This is a proper country pub - fireplace, beams, and all! I have three favourite places to eat in Suffolk, and one of them is here. If you haven’t been - go!

Great food, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Loads of space for kids to run around in the sunshine.

Family stayed here while over from Ireland for a trip, and the landlord and all the staff were friendly and attentive. Nine of us ate in the pub in the evening and everyone commented on how good the food was, and being Irish they appreciated a home cooked meal! Thank you 😊

Great stay, lovely location, proper home cooked food and welcoming staff. Cannot fault. Will definitely stay again.

Lovely village pub with well kept beers and a good garden for kids

Good food, friendly service and atmosphere.

Cycled to pub for lunch. Unfortunately a group of cyclists arrived earlier so food was a bit delayed but we were not in a rush. Nice pub, friendly & efficient. Nice food. Play area for children. Clean toilets.

Great food served quickly, excellent value for money and a brilliant outdoor space. Idea lunch stop for a group of cyclists. Had a delicious prawn sandwich for £6

Great food, good selection of beers and ales, family friendly with a large outdoor play area. And great, friendly staff

Prima plek, Net voorbij Ipswich om na de bootreis je trip in Engeland te beginnen. Super vriendelijke bediening, leuke pub en een prima kamer.

Staff were charming and helpful. The choice of menu was great. Good value and again good ales. Well done to you all. Worth coming back when passing

I love sitting in the garden when the sun is out I'm not a lover of sitting inside as I find it a bit cramped Food is always amazing and good home cooked food at a good price

Although it appears somewhat dilapidated from the outside, there were several cars parked outside, leading us to believe it might be nice. We couldn't really object because it was booked by a family member. Since neither my partner nor I eat meat, the menu only offered standard pub fare and had very few options for us. He had a vegetable curry, and I had a nut roast. He cannot have gluten, thus it was the only option that was safe. I could only think, "Wow what the chuff is this slop," when the food first arrived. My nut roast clearly consisted of frozen mashed vegetables, a packet of peanuts, and a side of more frozen veg and gravy that most definitely wasn’t vegan. My other half’s curry was basically the same as mine but with some curry powder. We couldn’t eat it at all and at £14 pounds each it was truly diabolical and what I saw from the other members of the party I’d have gone and caused a scene but I just wanted to leave and never return. The service is basic and the toilets filthy.

Lovely country pub, we were recommemded this place to eat as we were visiting close by. Very popular place, home cooked food too. We had the Beef Bourgeois, Vegan Lasagne, and Hunters Chicken. All 3 meals were piping hot and very filling. It's definitely a place we will visit if we are in the neighbourhood again

Just Evening dinner,but there are overnight rooms.

One the best meals out in a long time. Wow what a lovely treat this place was, recommended to me by my parents. Prices on the menu were very reasonable and the portion sizes were fantastic; so big we requested a side plate lol. Excellent friendly service, while sitting at the table near the bar I could over hear the staff being super friendly and helping everyone. I will 100% be coming back. We had the homemade lasagne and burger extra patty ;) Lasagne was delicious and the burger had a real authentic homemade taste and texture. Also the chips were homemade and delicious. Absolutely perfect, can’t wait to try the other items on the menu and maybe even some of the specials next time. Thank you.

Just off the A14 near Claydon, a good old fashioned inn with a good menu and excellent range of ales including one of my favourites, Abbott Ale from Greene King. Had the gammon egg and chips and it was 👍

A very busy pub with good selection of real ales. Delicious food. Staff very friendly and efficient. We stayed the night in a dated but very clean room and slept well in the comfy beds. 4 of us enjoyed an evening meal - steak suet pudding, beef pepper pot and pork casserole. Great breakfast served by a friendly Co owner Matthew. Nice garden and children's play area. 3 marques were taken down because of gale force winds but still very busy. Great value and would highly recommend.

Great staff and an excellent steak

Popped here for a quick dinner out ... Wow, cracking service, fantastic food, lovely place to go, very reasonably priced, and potions are massive. Will return for sure !!!

Service was amazing food was amazing we loved it we have booked to go back this Sunday 😋

Busy country pub. Place had a lot of people for a Wednesday night, my sister in law ordered the lasagne which she was not overly happy with as it came overcook and hard, I had fish and chips and would say the fish had a lot of oil and grease, my brother had the steak pie who said it was a bit dry. It's a bit pricey, but again, it seems to be everywhere, not just here. There is plenty of outdoor space and parking is ok.

Haven't been for such a long time, great Service, lovely food, lovely atmosphere will be back again very soon

All the staff are very pleasant and friendly and well mannered by far the best pub restaurant and hotel I've ever had the pleasure of staying at well worth the visit whatever your occasion. The owners of the sorrel horse are definitely at the top of their game in how they run their business.

I went in as a party of about 12. We all ordered food and it was delivered in a reasonable time as a group. Been many times before and its a well run establishment.

Like going back in time 25 years. Mean this as a huge compliment. Cracking landlord, lovely food, great value rooms and a great location. Cheers!

Excellent food. Very friendly staff and good location. Only downside were the flies coming in but that can't be helped. Good play area for children too. Definitely recommend it

First ever visit to sorrel horse and it was fantastic, service was excellent with friendly staff and food was exceptional, so good to find a new place to eat out,

Pub serving traditional pub grub, huge beer garden for outdoor eating and drinking with apparatus to keep the kids entertained

I was brought up near the Inn (in a similar 500 year old house), haven't lived in the UK for 25 years, but the people at the Inn remind me what I miss about old Suffolk, very friendly and accommodating, I stayed with my family for 3 nights, the full English breakfast is great, the staff seem like a family, Chris in particular is super helpful.

Very nice stop off room way lovely and e evening meal was great value for money, breakfast was good. Staff fantastic

One of the best pubs in Suffolk. Great food. Good beers. Handles plenty of covers at ease..very relaxing venue, relaxing staff...a proper local.

Lovely Sunday afternoon meal with good service and delicious ample servings.

had a lovely steak with pepper sauce and chocolate pud lovely staff great landlord great pub will visit again

Good pub. Good beer. Food looks lovely, Huge garden and play area for kids.

Lovely pub with a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. Delicious food, friendly, helpful staff and a really good service. Will be coming back here soon.

Rooms are very clean quite aswell Location was great to for me .

Super Pub comme seuls les anglais savent faire ! Grand choix de bières (c'est un pub!), service agréable, bonne ambiance et possibilité de manger sur place. Un peu isolé en campagne ce qui est un plus, bel endroit!

The food was amazing, we stopped off for food on way home, the inn was recommended by a man who we were talking to in Needham Market. The staff were very helpful and friendly, very clean and they were very good at filling our dietry requirements. My sister needs gluten free and they delivered. Will definately go back. We didn't stay at the inn so cannot comment on the rooms.

Lovely meal very friendly helpful staff. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

The room was good and very clean. The service was excellent, and we love the location.

Very nice place. Good selection of food.

Went on a Saturday night. Food was OK but not brilliant. The menu is mainly the usual standard pub grub, (burgers, fish and chips, lasagne.)but there is a specials board. Would suggest booking as can get crowded. Dog friendly. Lovely kids playground

Excellent traditional vibe Best steaks about........

Had a superb bar meal here. Food is soooo good. My usual lasagne and chips didn't dissappoint

Great, little pub with nice clean warm and comfortable rooms. Proper traditional country pub atmosphere, great food. Fraindly staff and a superb breakfast. Stayed as part of a business trip, I expect I'll be dropping in again when working over that way

Just wow,my new favourite place,food was out of this world 👌

Very nice country pub, friendly staff

Great food, great service, such a lovely old building

Always a warm welcome, and lovely, nicely prepared food.

Friendly pub- nice atmosphere and good value food. Room was comfy for the night as well.

Excellent food , lovely service and very friendly.

Typical pub grub, the gammon,egg and chips were good

I stayed there last night and found it a great place to stay. The bar staff were friendly and attentive. The rooms were nice and clean and reasonably priced. The breakfast in the morning was great as well.

The food was excellent, service very good unfortunately where we were sat in the pub was not very warm to which we I'm sure could have been rectified if mentioned, but no complaints.

The food here was delicious, really good quality and good portion size. We will definitely be returning!

Great place, decent food, kids area, relaxed

Been here quite alot and food pretty good. Went new years for a meal. Firstly this is a lovely pub and staff great. Prices gone up again so expect to pay £14 for burger and chips so rather pricey considering it was disappointing. My partner had this dish in the summer and it looked and tasted great, so i ordered this time. burger was only small but was lovely and meaty . The roll was cheap but the homemade chips great. That was it as no salad just a poor bit in the burger rather rubbish for £14. Upside everyone else loved the cod and chips. Looking at other dishes coming out they looked nice. I will go back again but not for the burger be better off at greene king pub .

Very pleasant atmosphere. A great selection of beers and lager

Excellent food, nice friendly staff, highly recommended
