We had an amazing time at this establishment, the staff were wonderful, so friendly and helpful, happy to answer any questions we had, they truly went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The food was epic, so much variety and everything was beautifully presented. The flavours were fantastic and we were just sorry we didn’t get to try everything! Will definitely be back and have already recommended this place to many friends and family!

A great half way point to meet up. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but the menu choices are always freshly prepared and delicious. The service is always friendly and efficient. Lovely 'country pub' atmosphere. We'll worth a try next time you're passing.

Writing a positive review on a good restaurant is a two edged sword, you want to do the place justice and share but it means it becomes much more popular which could also be a more difficult place to reserve a table, I think you will understand that bit of wanting to keep such a great place to yourself. The food is sublime, with plenty to choose from and is plentiful to make sure you go away feeling very satisfied indeed. Scummy. The service is amazing, you are made to feel welcome as you would visit a friend's home, you are shown to the table, while you peruse the menu the drinks are ordered and brought to the table, if you haven't decided you are given plenty of time to choose what you want, you are then allowed to enjoy the meal without feeling rushed at all, the staff are truly amazing and do everything to make the time in the restaurant feel special. It's a lovely place to enjoy the meal, very old world UK style, no loud music so you can enjoy conversation with family and friends. As I indicated at the start it's a place you want to keep to just yourself and special people. I hope those that read my review have as good an experience as we certainly have, I will be back.

We made a point of revisiting The Walnut Tree on the first night of our visit from Detroit, Michigan. We are a family of vegetarians and it was a delight to be able to choose anything from the menu. Everything was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Our party of 5 enjoyed fantastic food and I am happy to say that it was worth the 6000 mile journey ... I would whole heartedly recommend this restaurant to EVERYONE regardless of whether or not they are vegetarian!

I would give 5 stars except we were charged for a beer we didn't have. This was rectified when we queried it. However, on checking the receipt at home, we were not given "10% off in November" as advertised on their website.

Visited the walnut tree Saturday night for my mums birthday, having discovered I had accidentally booked for the night before the staff were so lovely and forgiving and still squeezed us in despite being almost fully booked. All the staff were welcoming and friendly and the service was really quick. Everyone loved their meals, the portion sizes were more than enough and you can tell everything is made fresh! Lovely to have an all vegetarian menu somewhere local to us, a rare gem and will definitely be revisiting!

Can't praise this place enough. The fact it's all vegetarian and vegan makes this a really special place, especially when so many places forget about us. Food was all delicious and lots of variety to choose from (If you go for a sharing platter as a main I'd choose the half portion unless you want to succumb to a food coma). Loved the layout with lots of different corners to eat in, and the low lighting was cosy!

Dead easy to find (right on the A140) and an entire menu of vegetarian dishes, plus Specials board.  A promising start.  Since it was lunchtime we opted for mains and desserts.  The black bean and sweet potato enchilada and the roasted mushroom Wellington were both very well received; as were the fresh strawberry and lime cheesecake and salted caramel chocolate cake.  Plentiful portions and every mouthful was a treat. Service was very personable and effective too. This driver was pleased to find that they stock St Peter's. Even the decaf coffee was better than most. It's a shame I don't live closer; based on this experience the size of the menu would merit many return trips.

I'd give the place 3.5 if I could, because the restaurant is charming, the staff were lovely and the loos were clean. Four of us stopped for an early lunch. Two of us had the tofu/lettuce wrap sharing platter and thought we'd try the Lebanese vegan 'meatballs' too. One of us had the mushroom Wellington from the main lunch menu and the fourth had meze. The mushroom Wellington came with fresh, well-cooked greens and small potatoes and was declared very good. The sharing platter looked initially attractive, but the hoisin sauce/jackfruit lettuce wraps were overpoweringly sauced, we were underwhelmed by the large chunks of deep-fried tofu and the Lebanese meatballs (which were £6.90 if I recall correctly) were six marble-sized deep-fried balls which seemed to be made of dry-textured soya protein. Our friend with the meze had (deep-fried) patatas bravas and deep-fried halloumi. He said that the spicy tomato sauce seemed more like concentrated tomato paste from a tube than a proper tomato sauce. Given all the 5* reviews it was disappointing. Looking round, the main lunch meals (such as the Wellington) seemed more like 'proper' food. The meze/ sharing platter menu seemed dominated by the kind of deep-fried bits and pieces any of us could buy from a supermarket. I think from all the excellent write-ups we'd expected something more home-made and carefully spiced, not just sauce from a jar and halloumi from a packet. And we certainly didn't expect everything to be deep-fried.

Ive had several delicious meals at The Walnut Tree. It is a wonderful restaurant & the staff are friendly & welcoming. The Aubergine & Chickpea Madras was excellent. However I was disappointed with the Plum Cobbler which was on the ‘specials’ board. A Cobbler should have a Scone topping , but this was just like a Sponge Pudding with stewed fruit at the bottom! Hence 4 stars for the food rating !

I know how important reviews are to any hospitality establishment and therefore I chose my words carefully. I want to say at the outset that the serving staff were absolutely lovely, however, some of the food really wasn't. Enjoying a particular dish obviously comes down to what you have chosen from the menu. Half of our party had a sharing platter which was good. One of the other starters was a boa bun which was uncharacteristically dry and boring. The real disappointment was with the main meals, especially the mushroom and ale pie which I can only describe as awful. It looked as ugly on the plate as it tasted, it was also the strangest looking pie that you could imagine. On top of the pastry case there was a 'disc' of pastry purporting to be a 'lid' which didn't reach across the pie, but rather sat alone like a ritz cracker on the top. The pie's contents were the bitterest tasting filling that I have ever tasted and inedible. This pie was totally surrounded by a slick of thick congealing gravy which was revolting, wherein also sat overcooked floppy vegetables which lay, inert, so reminiscent of bygone school dinners. I was relieved when it was at last cleared away. I hoped that the vast choice of desserts on offer might come to my rescue. I opted for a safe bet, the raspberry trifle. This was so much like a school pudding as to take me right back to the dinning hall. The custard was thin and cheap tasting, the jelly was weak and tasteless with a spray cream swirl perched on the top, granted there was one fresh raspberry and a spring of mint there too. I am sorry to have to leave such a negative review about what is after all a rare thing, a totally vegetarian pub restaurant. I gave it three stars because of the venue and the lovely lady who served us.

What a wonderful experience. As a family of four we had 3 different needs. We had to sit outside as one of us has a medical condition and has to stay away from people. One is a diabetic and I am gluten intolerant and a vegetarian. ALL of our needs were catered for in a natural way, no fuss. Sam, our host, is very, very knowledgeable about how to direct us for our diary needs, making choosing so much easier. The letter W (short for Without) was well displayed on the menu, which included a diverse choice of foods. Thank you Chef. Oh! and as an added bonus all the toilets have a well situated handrail by every toilet, Men's and Ladies.

Wonderful experience. The Olds booked this place for my 50th Birthday. Mum has to stay away from crowds, Dad is diabetic and the other half is gluten intolerant. The Walnut Tree could not have handled it better - even though it was lashing down with rain, they were more than happy to accommodate us in the covered area in the garden, heaters on, cosy as anything. Wifey was almost bouncing with excitement - being both vegetarian and gluten intolerant can be an extremely boring dining experience, but not so here - we all had multiple choices for every course. Sam, our wait person was knowledgeable, patient, and fun. Food outstanding - will be back, even if the Olds move out of area!

We are pescatarian and often struggle finding places to eat which offer something other than fish and chips and soya based burgers. The Walnut Tree specialises in vegetarian food. They understand flavours and know that people want value for money. We have been coming here ever since Jan took over what was The Buck’s Head and we have never been disappointed. The mushroom wellington is amazing as is the jackfruit “steak” and ale pie. Thank goodness their are so reasonable because it means we can visit more often.

What a lovely pub to visit for a lovely meal. My wife and I visited the Walnut Tree as I wanted to treat my wife to a vegetarian experience as she is a fussy eater and 95% vegetarian! I am a meat eater, but looking at the menu I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and tasty sounding meals available. We had Harissa Halloumi Skewers and Mushroom Arancini for starters…delightful. Mushroom Wellington and Bean/Sweet Potato enchiladas were the mains and again plentiful offerings and very tasty. Dessert was a raspberry trifle and blackcurrant sorbet, both following the same suit of tastiness. I must point out that the two female staff that we encountered were excellent hosts who were friendly and welcoming. Would I eat here again? Definitely. Would I recommend anyone eating here? Absolutely!

I had read very good reviews of this restaurant and was looking forward to the experience. However left disappointed by the quality and presentation of the food . Starters served on plates with out any of the listed accompaniments - so basically packet bought tofu and mozzarella sticks deep fried on a plate - unappealing and dry . Main course - Menu description - Lebanese flat bread with “meat balls “, avocado, pomegranate, pine nuts , and salad . Reality - inedible paper thin flat bread , dry salad with no dressing , no avocado, pine nuts or pomegranate , and a puddle of oil from deep fried “meatballs”. I struggle to understand the difference between reviews written a few days earlier and my experience and can only assume they were operating without a chef.

We’ve been wanting to visit here for a while but it’s around an hour from where we live, the stars aligned with an event in Ipswich so we were finally able to book a table. For me this is exactly what I had been missing, that pub food vibe, well thought out home cooked type food. Although the restaurant is veggie I was very impressed with the amount of dishes that could be offered vegan and so had a lot to choose from. I went for the Wellington and hubby had a dish from the specials board, both were really enjoyable. We were so impressed with the menu we went for the full 3 courses which we rarely do, and really enjoyed all of it. The service was outstanding, very responsive without being pushy and everyone was very friendly. Pub had a cosy vibe and tables were laid out in a way that felt quite intimate and is if you were away from other diners. We really enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely visit again.

We've been dining here off-and-on for seven years or so, (and at the Red Lion prior to that) and always been enthusiastic about it (see previous reviews) - until our last visit in 2023. On that occasion, we were treating some friends, having previously raved to them about the experience, and were embarrassed to endure below-average food. We didn't review, in the hope that it was just an off night, but we didn't come back for 9 months... This time round, we were hopeful that things would be so much better... So, Valentines, and the first glitch was to discover that it was a fixed-price 3-course menu. We were not warned about this when booking (we rarely eat 3 courses) and at £35 each, it was more than we usually spend, but hey ho.... Next was the chore of trying to read the menu. We had mentioned this on previous visits in that the tiny text on coloured paper and VERY dim lighting makes it an almost impossible task. "Lots of customers use their phones", our waitress advised. (I'd left mine in the car...) Clearly many people had grumbled about this, so why on earth haven't they done something about it? Maybe they could have loan torches? Our starters were nice, but unremarkable. Our mains (we both chose their renowned Mushroom Wellington) were lovely, but the accompanying veg was luke warm and so undercooked as to be uneatable. We both like 'al dente', but not raw! I would have expected a venue like this to have veg-cooking bang-on every time. The desserts were also not up to scratch. My wife's cheesecake had a rock-hard base and runny texture, which made it a 'mess' - and not from Eton! The 3 "churros" I chose were tiny and bland (looked like they came out of a packet), and came with a half a strawberry and a glass of luke-warm hot chocolate. A bizarre and unimpressive combination... The whole meal was such a disappointment, and whilst we made our feelings clear to the (lovely) staff, the best they could offer was "if you email maybe we can put it right". We discussed this, and decided we will not be returning, so making any kind of formal complaint would be pointless. It's a shame in that we love the staff, the venue, and the ambience (apart from the lighting) - but sadly, not the food...

Very carefree ordering of food for vegans, with so much to choose from. The deserts were amazing too. Lovely choice of drinks from the bar. All in all a fabulous evening out and already planning our next visit!

What a lovely place to go for brunch. We had a vegan breakfast, a vegetarian one and a stilton dish. All were perfectly cooked. The bubble and squeak was divine and the service was excellent. As it was cold outside we were given a table next to the log burner. Our dog was welcomed and we loved the place.

We've been to this Vegetarian/Vegan pub-restaurant many times over the past few years, sometimes with friends and sometimes, just the two of us. Every time the service has been friendly and helpful with the menu options. My wife is vegan and this is the best menu from a vegetarian and vegan point of view for miles. In fact, I can't think of a better Veggie/Vegan menu anywhere. This time we bought some in-house ready meals from the attached shop so we're looking forward to trying those. 5* for food and service in my opinion.

The best veggie/vegan place I've eaten at! My only complaint would be there were so many mouthwatering choices on the menu that I had very real FOMO as I couldn't order them all. When we'd finally made our decisions drinks came quickly, the food was delicious, portion sizes hearty, and at a very good price. The welcome was warm, wait staff all attentive and proactive, our drinks were kept full and courses came in good time. Lovely atmosphere, beautiful setting, we can't wait to come back.

Super vegetarian food at this lovely restaurant. This was our first time there, but we will definitely be returning. The menu had a good range of dishes, and ours were really tasty and well cooked. Portions were excellent as well. Coupled with the friendly service and very reasonable price, this is definitely recommended.

As vegetarians we get used to eating out where the options are risotto or pasta! This restaurant left us spoilt for choice. The staff were warm and welcoming. The log burner was glorious. Only downside is it is over 2 hours drive☹️

We’ve been a few times as a couple, and went as a family group on Christmas Eve to celebrate my wife’s birthday. As usual we were made very welcome, the food was delicious, service was great despite how busy it was, and the staff were lovely. Enjoyed it so much we’re coming back to celebrate my 80th in April! If you’re a meat eater, as are we, don’t be put off because the food is imaginative as well as delicious.

Although not a vegetarian, the food here is fantastic. Visited last night, 21/12/2023, and enjoyed a great meal. The two ladies who served us were friendly and fun with a good sense of humour. And thank you for recommending the tiramisu!!

What a cracking place. Staying in the area on holiday and found the pub on a walk. We've come back twice and every meal has been fantastic. Highly recommend coming if you're in the area

We used to enjoy our outings to the Gladstone, but it has turned into a dirty, smelly and "clicky" place to eat or drink! Instead of being dog friendly it is more like a dog kennel - dogs annoy non-dog owners by licking them etc and sitting on the seating instead of under the tables. The seats and tables are dirty and the whole place is unhygienic - we will not return and will leave it to the arrogant dog owners who think everybody wants to be licked and dribbled on by their pets!

I think some more up-to-date photos would help. These pictures are from when The Angel was in the High St. They are now in the Civic Centre The breakfast is still as good as ever. The service and welcome are good and the food is still excellent Only one slight moan and that would be the price of a cup of coffee: £3.50 for a small cup is too expensive
