We searched online for a South African themed pub and Three Ways Country Pub came up as being closest to us although it was a 90 minute drive away. After arriving at the pub, the owner Basie introduced himself to us and we were made to feel welcome on our first visit to this pub. Basie's wife Ellie also introduced herself and what was noticeable was how the the owners seemed to know almost everyone who entered the pub as well. Being our first time, I ordered their Beef Potjie and my wife ordered the Pork and Prawn Potjie with my kid ordering a pizza. The portion sizes of the food was a lot larger than what we had expected and I only have positive things to say about how good the Potjie meals tasted. The food arrived hot and delicious. Other positives was the wood fired heater in the bar which added to the atmosphere, as well as the beer costing a lot cheaper compared to prices in the town we live in. I can't recommend Three Ways enough and hope to visit again soon to try their mixed grill meat dish!

Haven’t used the Three Ways Coulinge since having excellent takeaways during Lockdown. However we were recently recommended to try their Sunday lunch by friends, and did so today. We arrived with two friends shortly after 1pm to find it busy and welcoming. I was pleased to see Adnams beers on draft. This has clearly become a popular Sunday lunch venue and I recommend booking in advance. After our starters we all chose the roast beef option. This was really good, accompanied by roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and a variety of fresh vegetables. In summary, cosy traditional pub/restaurant, friendly service and excellent food. What’s not to like? No hesitation in recommending Sunday lunch here.

Special Steak night Thursday £12 off. A great meal deal, succulent 8 oz fillet with gorgeous chunky chips, tomatoes and fried mushrooms. So tasty and well presented. Polite, friendly servers , good wine and great beer.

Thought I’d take my mum out for an impromptu dinner and I’m so glad I did. We ordered some breads and dips for starters, followed by king prawn linguine. There were plenty of king prawns and it was the most delicious food my mum and myself have in a very long time. We had to order some extra bread to mop it up! Owners are super friendly and offer great service. I cannot recommend this place enough and will certainly be back very soon.

Decided to try this pub while staying in the area. We are not normally very adventurous with food but tried the home made South African options on the menu and were not disappointed. Truly delicious. Shame we didn't have enough time to make a second visit.

A great menu, a great and friendly welcome. Good beer, a choice of ales and lagers and for a pub good wine too. A pretty pub in very pleasant surroundings, lovely spacious and tidy garden that was nice to be in during a Saturday early evening. Just my second visit here and as expected it didn't disappoint. It's going to become a regular venue for us. Great value too, keep it up please.

Called in by happenchance on our way from Barrow to Haverhill via the country route. Found by chance an attractive looking pub with umbrellas in the front garden and it was 12.30pm this Sunday. So called in for a pint and a Prosecco, saw they did lunch and so we went for it. No booking but we were made very welcome by the hosts and had a fabulous( one of the best I say) Sunday roast. Great range of real ales, good but limited menu and the food was presented very well, served with a friendly smile and tasted fabulous. The best thing was the plate wasn't slathered in gravy,vegetables served separately including cabbage, also great to have enabling us to serve what we wanted. Suffice to say we shall be returning.

Such a beautiful cosy pub, the owners were so lovely and welcoming, it was so cosy sitting by the fire, with the Christmas tree and Christmas lights. The food was 5 star, absolutely amazing, hats of to the chef! I had a steak which was cooked to perfection and the homemade chip were so good! My boyfriend had the Braai BBQ mix and I’m pretty sure he loves his meal more than me lol, he said it was amazing and wants to have everything off the menu ha. We are already telling our friends and family about this amazing place, my partner and I are already planning our next visit. Thank you so much :)

We came by this place after a walk and stopped for a quick drink just as the place was opening. What was supposed to be a quick drink turned into staying for dinner. On a dark chilly November evening, his place was so cosy! There were comfy seats near the fire. The decor comfortable and welcoming. The landlord gave us Jenga to play with while we waited for the kitchen to open for food. As well as more usual English pub food, there ware traditional south African dishes on the menu. I'd never had it before so gave it a try. The food was lovely. (For anyone watching their diet, it's good healthy food too by the way). As the evening went on, the place git busier and busier, so you may want to book. The bill at the end was reasonable too, no overpriced drinks! I would love to come back again and really recommend it.

I did a pin sticking pub pick for Suffolk Sunday lunch on Google maps and decided to give the Three ways pub a visit. After speaking to the landlord booked a table,as he seemed very nice on the phone taking the booking. The pub was over an hour away in an area not visited before. When we arrived the car park was nearly full,an indicator of a popular pub in a quite remote area. On entering was greeted by the landlord and our drink order taken. At least 2 real ales on tap, another good sign of popularity for a rural pub. We were seated and our lunch order quickly taken followed by a very quick service. Only managed half pint of beer before service. Vegetables served separate as was gravy. The meats and vegetables was just the right amount so no waste, Which left just enough room for cracking homemade dessert. A very nice landlord & landlady & friendly staff,and good food and service and price. Another trip in the offing. Well worth the trip down some very narrow lanes to find.

We visited the Three Ways in Cowlinge with friends. The pub is a lovely traditional British country establishment, and the extensive menu offers a combination of British pub favourites and some enticing South African dishes. Having opted to go for traditional starters which were really good, all of us chose from the South African options and we thoroughly enjoyed both the Bobotie (a lamb dish) and Potjiekos (a beef dish). We managed a couple of desserts between us, which were also lovely. The pub also has a good selection of beers and we were pleased that the evening represented great value for money. It is well worth a visit.

This pub is a gem. Stunning garden and very peaceful atmosphere - a fantastic 15 min drive out from Newmarket (where there are no decent pubs) along beautiful country road. Owners are very welcoming and the menu is brilliant with classics lime fish and chips (delicious) but also South African dishes. Can't wait to try their "foot long" sausages next time made at the local butcher with SA spices. Great real ale (something sadly lacking from Newmarket pubs), a gorgeous interior which we will enjoy visiting in winter. We have tried a few country pubs around Newmarket since my son moved to the area and this one is the best by miles. I couldn't understand why it was not busier on a Saturday night! Don't hesitate to go.

My husband and I have dropped in several times on Friday evenings for the fish special: a generous portion of fish & chips plus your choice of drink for £10! Delicious food and great value, all served by some very friendly and attentive young waiting staff. Definitely worth a detour but probably safest to book in advance to avoid disappointment...

The Three Ways is a cosy, country pub beautifully located in the village of Cowlinge. It has traditional beams, a wood burning stove & you are greeted upon entering with the warmest of welcomes from the resident cocker spaniel! Sunday lunch includes a fine selection of roasts, simply cooked with all the usual accompaniments, plenty of freshly steamed vegetables & as much gravy as you could wish. Puddings, from a mini blackboard brought to your table, are very good & include sticky toffee sponge with salted caramel ice cream & plum & frangipane tart with vanilla ice cream. Service is friendly & efficient & with coffee by the fire after our meal we could happily have whiled away the rest of the afternoon there! It gets very busy on a Sunday so book.

Booked a table at this pub/restaurant after checking out reviews. The starters were very tasty, no complaints there, the mains were, on the whole, good but I must say I was disappointed with the ‘real’ chicken and mushroom pie, it was quite dry and the pastry very thick for the amount of filling. There was a separate serving of gravy but it didn’t bring much to the party, the veg however was cooked to perfection. Apart from the one dog lover at our table the rest of us were less than impressed with the two mutts wandering into the restaurant area and sniffing round the tables, one actually put his two front paws on my chair and hauled himself up to get a better smell of the aforementioned pie ! So, a mixed bag on this one hence to star rating.

We happened to visit on a steak night, (Thursdays), so decided on sirloin with the usual trimmings, but I added Stilton sauce which was very tasty. The steaks were excellent with virtuallly no fat, the chips were 'standard' size and crispy. for desserts we both had an excellent sticky toffee pudding. Service was friendly but we have a very minor criticism. We had to ask for steak knives and water, both of which were immediately brought to us. Overall an excellent experience and inexpensive too.

We went on a Sunday and had a roast (one beef, one chicken). Absolutely delicious, with plenty of vegetables, and a good variety too. Children can have a smaller version of any of the main courses at a lower rate, but no specific children's menu. They had colouring books and pencils for children too which is always good!

I had booked this for a family sunday lunch as we were visiting my daughters who live in the Newmarket area. I went by ratings on Trip advisor and booked here. It was a great meal a lovely home cooked Sunday lunch. The vegetables came in serving dishes put on the table. We all love our veg so i did ask for another dish as there was 8 adults. These came promptly as did the extra gravy i requested. Everyone enjoyed the meats they had ordered particularly the belly pork with awesome crackling according to those who had chosen it, and meat portions were very generous. The deserts were also really lovely and the waiting staff friendly and efficient. Would definitely visit again as it was warm and cosy so great on a cold winters day. I have noticed several restaurants i have eaten in during the last couple of years do not always make sure that your surroundings are warm and draught free and have left soon as i have eaten due to being freezing, so the Three ways was such a pleasant change, if you find yourself that way i would definitely call in and if you have time for a meal even better.

Absolutely wonderful traditional country pub. The food is homemade and really delicious (especially the Sunday roasts). Great value for money. Excellent service and very dog friendly. The garden is lovely to sit out in when the weather is nice but it is also very cosy and welcoming when you want to warm up during the colder months. Lovely atmosphere, I would highly recommend this pub to everyone.

The "worst experience" complaint arose during a lunch visit by our group of 30+ ramblers who arrived back 45 minutes after the time booked, due to my error as leader. The pub did a good job producing most of the pre-booked meals in good time - one or two were delayed.They did a good job in the circumstances. Our large group has used this pub for a number of years and has been well satisfied with the service provided.

If you like everybody else at your table eating their food while you wait and wait and wait and then when you complain it is you that is in the wrong, then this is the plea for you. If not, go to the Red Lion in Kirtling which is a much better pub.As for the food, I gave up on mine but my wife said her burger was at best average.My advice is to stay away.

My wife and I will sometimes turn up for Mrs. Smiths steak nights on a Thursday. Steak, chips and fresh veg served with a pint....£10.oo. What value! My wife, the non meat eater, will have the very good fish pie.Did I mention her tapas nights?

On arrival we we greeted by the very friendly pub dog, a cocker spaniel. We ordered our drink at the bar and sat down with the menu to choose our food, the roast beef, the roast chicken and two fish pies. These were all well cooked the fish pie which I had tasted great. A good selection of vegetables came in separate dishes. There is a good selection of deserts and ice creams so I am sure we will return again soon.

Have visited this charming pub/restaurant twice this year and both times have not been disappointed. The pub is warm and welcoming with a log burner and comfy seating. There is a choice of where to eat, the dining room or a table in the bar area, both of which are comfortable with a nice atmosphere.The food was delicious with a nice choice of starters and mains and the specials board was lovely with a few choices away from the norm which were great. Cant comment on the puds as we were too full to try them!! Will try them next time!!

We were looking to try a new venue for Sunday lunch and following the reviews we booked here and were not disappointed. Very friendly welcome, papers to read, lovely relaxed atmosphere and the most fantastic dog who curled up beside us on the sofa as we ordered and had drinks before lunch. We had 3 courses, each a delight. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is divine. Roast beef was cooked rare and just melted it was so tender, lots of vegetables were served along with the roast and all cooked too perfection with amazing roast potatoes (this is where I find most places fail on). The roast was exactly what we wanted (we had all starved ourselves beforehand) the starters and puddings were equally delicious and it was all so good we've already booked to go back. Can highly recommend and the icing on the cake was proper coffee to finish. The Three Ways is a terrific find, we can't wait to go back.

This was our second visit since Sue and husband resumed the running of the pub.We took friends from Rutland who were looking for a good night out,we weren't disappointed,a good choice of well kept beer at the bar to choose from is always a must.Three of us had fish pie which was filled with chunks of various types of fish and covered with crusty potato and cheese served up in individual baking dishes,five types of vegetables came as well.The plates were piping hot,a detail often missed in restaurants and shows the Chef is doing their best to please the customer.We finished off with Puddings of ice cream and spotted dick and custard just what was needed on a windy winters night.Well done and thanks for a lovely night.p

Arranged to meet friends from Norwich 27th Jan for a birthday surprise but needed a place somewhere in between us, out came the map and found this wonderful pub. it was worth the drive!.The very friendly customers staff, old country pub atmosphere and really good food was exactly what we were after.Portions were great, pies were delicious cheesecake to die for. But there were quite a few choices so everyone was happy.For a Wednesday night I could not believe how busy they were, talking to one of the locals they have different themed nights too, you could tell he was really prod of his local. There was something for everyone. We could still chat to our friends, but it was lovely to hear chat and laughter. Wish it was closer, I would love to have this place as my own local.

Sue and Chris are very friendly and although we only get to visit periodically they always remember us as do a number of the locals who make new customers and occasional visitors like us always welcome. Have been to two of their themed Tapas nights and are going to a third soon. All the dishes are freshly cooked by Sue and with entertainment laid on as well the evening is fantastic value for money. On a cold winters Sunday afternoon, grab a pint and Snuggle down in a comfy chair next to the fire and it is hard to leave, in the summer you also have a great outdoor area as well. Worth a drive out, give it a go.

A lovely place we haven't been to in years has been renovated lovely, we arrived and must admit wasn't impressed with the bar tender who didn't greet us or even ask if we wanted a drink. After waiting for the landlady we were shown our table and after were given a menu a few things had sold out (but must be a sign of good food as it had been sold night before) and we weren't given a child's menu was expected to choose a Sunday lunch for them (which we would of chosen but just would of been nice for them to have a menu) the meal was lovely and waitress very good and helpful said we could have more veg and gravy if needed (it wasn't) the meal was excellent and fresh and we had pudding which was also tasty we wasn't kept waiting too long , there was a lovely fire going in the main bar with a very friendly dog who my girls loved on the whole an enjoyable meal maybe an idea for the future would be a colouring for children to do while waiting don't have to be much just a picture of a dog and pot of crayons but thank you

We went to the three ways for somewhere different to go and after reading the reviews on here for sunday lunch . We were all very pleased with our meals especially my 5 year old girl who they were very accommodating to and did her a salad for her starter!!! There were plenty of veg available and the waitress asked if we wanted more.All in all a very good experience and we will be back for another meal.Thanks again.

NOW PERMANENTLY CLOSED :-( The Plough at Rede is one of Suffolks best kept secrets. A thatched pub with oak beams, an open fire, all tucked away in the tiny hamlet of Rede. Stunning location, fabulous atmosphere with a warm welcome and the best food for miles around. Brian and Joyce have been running the Plough for over 30 years with customers returning time and time again. Ide give 100 stars if I could.
