Wally's Shed in Babergh

Once again on a wet November morning two of us bikers received a warm welcome at Wally’s Shed Cafe. Mugs of hot coffee and a filling breakfast. It certainly hit the spot!

You must book for a glorious Sunday lunch. Old fashioned industrial estate Cafe that does a great Sunday lunch. Family run.

Visited with some friends for a Saturday breakfast, and the experience would have been entertaining if it didn't amount to child abuse! The elderly lady attempting to run the cafe (which wasn't exactly busy) was clearly overwhelmed by such a responsibility, and was venting her anger - constantly and loudly - at her unfortunate 13 year old assistant, JayZee. We chose to sit outside, well away from the torrent of abuse the poor lad was suffering, but she soon came out for her fag break and did a pretty passable impression of Catherine Tate's Nan, the character who begins every other utterance with "What a f*cking liberty!" The food wasn't up to much and the premises have seen better days, but Wally's Shed has got to be worth a visit if only for the comedy value.

Breakfast wasn’t included with a hotel in Lavenham and somebody recommended Wallys. It was half the price as good as any full English breakfast at a hotel. The staff were very friendly and everything arrived quickly and piping hot. There was lots of toast included which I really like.

Woman in charge,Really foul mouth,especialy to the other young girl.Not A long wait for order to arrive.Not Hot and came accross as reheated leftovers from the day before?Sausages were unedible! Bacon was like beef jerky! She also payed more attention to feeding the wild birds out the back,than helping the other girl who was clearly overworked and out of he depth.

Out of town Cafe serving good food at a reasonable price. The decor may be a bit dated but it has the charm of times gone by. The food is cooked fresh and is very good. Popular with those on two wheels. Place is clean and staff are friendly. Well worth a visit.

I have been visiting Wallys for 30 years on and off, for Breakfast, Dinner and Sunday Lunch, and the original owner Wally did a major event for me and it was excellent. It is a traditional Cafe like you might experience in the 70s or 80s and not a Wetherspoons or a posh restaurant. I have not had any bad experiences here, the food is prepared and cooked fresh on site, and not just microwaved in a bag, and i can tell you a lot of pubs do microwave food, yet Wallys always keeps the cost down, it has an entourage of loyal custom and its not common to be fully booked on a Sunday. No doubt you may find a better restaurant, with better ingredients but you will be paying over double for that, so it is excellent value and a must visit, and people do often.

Its a strange little cafe - doesn't look much - like a bit of a workman's cafe - but believe me the food is great - like going back to grandmas - delicious and homely . A treat of a roast and and there is usually a daily crumble for dessert - give it a go - you wont be disappointed

This place has a certain dated charm. But you can get a good breakfast which on this occasion was a godd old traditional bacon sandwich on white sliced with tomatoes sauce with a good tasting cup of tea.

Met pre vintage vehicle run, plenty of parking. Sausages and bacon excellent quality eggs very yellow and thick. Breakfast comes with all the trimmings well worth it. Lunches traditional fayre pies puddings stew etc. Roasts on sundays. Highly recommend

My friend and I go out for breakfast every 2-4 weeks and we enjoy trying different cafe/restaurants but so disappointed with our visit to Wally's Shed Cafe in Acton near Sudbury,it was highly recommended by my friends workmate .The eating area was ok and clean enough although the decor was very dated ,looking like a transport cafe from the 60's but the food was such a let down.It was a cheap price at £6 which included a hot drink,my friend and I upgraded to have an extra sausage and egg which made it £7.80.I didn't note the mature Lady's name who served us but she was pleasant enough when taking our order.The food was served up fairly quickly and it was hot but so much wrong with it,both our toasts were hard,the sausages,eggs and beans were just about eatable but clearly cheap,I don't know what had been done with the mushrooms,a decent pile of them but after we had both eaten a small mouthful of them,we both thought the same that they had the most horrible flavour, like a slight taste of fairy liquid or something similar had got into them,that was the only way we could describe the taste but my guess is that it was a very cheap cooking oil used as the tomatoes had a similar bad taste as well.The mug of tea and coffee were poor as well,just a horrible flavour,must be the cheapest coffee and tea you can buy as we both only drink about a fifth of our drinks. You can say that we should have complained and said something and we would have done if we had been asked how our breakfast was when we were eating it.Enough said,my friend and i could not recommend this place to eat as we both came away with a bad aftertaste in our mouths but maybe they just had a bad day there?

Wally's Cafe is a lovely gem of a cafe off the beaten track. On a sunny day you can sit outside and watch the ducks on the pond or inside plenty of room and group bookings are taken. In a hurry? everything is available for take away. Breakfast starts at 7.00 through till 11.00 then lunch til 3. Lunches are traditional meat and veg with some old favoutrites on the menu. All homemade pies and Puddings. Desserts are all made in house and like your granny makes with thick custard. Sunday Lunch is good you may need to book for that one! Closed on mondays. Never had a bad meal.

Great breakfasts, more than happy to do anything you want even if not a menu item, service always brilliant and if your up for some chat and banter this is the place.

Good full English breakfast with tea and toast . Service was quick . Wallys cafe may look like it's caught in a time warp but that's the charm of the place .

I and my work mate have visited a few times in last week. First time I was very disappointed with service and no eggs on our best sandwiches. Then we have visited a couple more times and the younger lady serving was great. Visited again today and it was terrible. I ordered an omelette and Ryan said I'll have same with salad. I was charged £7.75 with a cup of tea. Ryan questioned if that was for both innocently as no prices shown. He was then questioned by the lady. Don't be rude to people cooking your food. Ryan then cancelled order asked for money back. She declined to return money and said no eat. In the end we had our money returned and left. This lady needs to learn how to serve people. It was our second visit today and the last

Wally's is an institution for those in the know. A Full English fry up with plenty of tea and toast thrown in. Great way to set you up for the day!

Este es un excelente café. Cálido y confortable interior con una amplia variedad de comida caliente en el menú. Cordial bienvenida y obviamente utilizada para el ciclista hambrientos llegan con necesidad de grandes cantidades de comida caliente y café/té decente. No es fácil de encontrar ya un poco escondida en industrial BT vale la pena el esfuerzo. Todo lo que hemos tenido aquí en múltiples visitas ha sido excelente y una buena relación calidad-precio.

Visitamos este café un domingotodas las mesas estaban puestas con esteras de madera y cubiertos y cada mermelada mermelada/que te puedas imaginarpedimos cuatro desayunos cocinados, que llegó rápidamente con grandes tazas de té y café y tostadas en el lateral.Todo el personal era amable y nos dijeron que podíamos servir mermelada / mermelada de otra mesa para las tostadas.El desayuno era muy razonable para cuatro, teniendo en cuenta que teníamos té/café recambios.Lo recomiendo para todas las edades, especialmente para los campistas que quieran un abundante desayuno calientegracias

No han sido aquí las edades así como yo estaba en la zona me pareció que había pop para desayunar y fue fantástico sigue siendo el mismo que hace siglos un servicio excelente y el desayuno era increíble yo recomendaría este lugar a todo el mundo.

Today I had an excellent beefy cottage pie followed by perfect home-made crumble atop home-grown rhubarb. Jane and Matt were friendly and helpful; they made me feel as welcome as their other customers who all seemed to be old friends.

Hemos ido a Wally's Shed desde que abrió sus puertas a finales de los 90's. La relación calidad-precio y la cálida bienvenida nunca ha modificado con los años. Es un pequeño café maravilloso, lo justo para los ciclistas, los ciclistas y los turistas. Un verdadero café inglés - un verdadero tesoro!

Nos encanta Wallys. No necesita una reforma no arruinar. La cocina de Jane es fabulosa y Matt es genial. Año pasado un grupo de nosotros tuvimos un almuerzo de Navidad. Era tan bueno que hemos reservado de nuevo este año. A menudo pop en cuando pasando y regularmente reunirse con amigos. Estamos deseando volver.

Wally's Shed is a remarkable survival from the mid twentieth century offering large home-cooked meals in cheerfully shabby clean bright surroundings. We went for a full English breakfast at just a fiver a head. The ingredients were of better quality than the price would suggest....

The Full English is not to be missed. I am a little reluctant to review this Cafe, as it's quality and prices are a well kept local secret, but they do deserve the praise. It's a little off the beaten track, but worth putting into your sat-nav and seeking it out.

Visited here today for Breakfast as a bit of a treat for my daughters 18th birthday on the way out, very friendly place and a plate full at a very reasonable price.those that say it needs updating are wrong leave it as it is a good clean cheap and cheerful old style transport cafe. ( thank-you also for my daughters birthday balloon :-) )

went for breakfast , food was of reasonable quality apart from the coffee which was dreadful . The place could do with a re decoration / make over but maybe thats part of the charm

Just amazing traditional food, all at very god prices, breakfast and dinners amazing.So sad to hear that Wally passed away last weekOur deepest sympathy to all...Mark & Sue (Falkirk)

I've breakfasted here, mostly on Sunday mornings, while participating in historical re-creations at Kentwell Hall. If you want a really good "Traditional English" breakfast, with friendly service, this is one place where you'll find it. Frequented by bikers, emergency services personnel, and historical re-enactors - it can't be bad! No problems with parking, either. When it's quieter, it's sometimes possible to get a first-rate Banana Split , too!

I like everything about this place.Service, food quality for great value prices.BreakfastLunches and Dinner to die forLondon Cafe StyleCleanStaff very helpful. They have been here a long long time so know the area and its customers very well. They look after them as if they were family.

This is the 2nd time I have eaten here and again I had the full breakfast, Overall its fantastic value quality is generally good but the sausages were a bit of a let down. That said it was well cooked and with Tea and a plate of toast included its hard to fault. 3.5 rating is about right.

Had a breakfast here a few times over the last few years. Breakfast is generally good, but not quite as good as when Wally was in the kitchen. On my last visit the eggs were hard and a bit frazzled underneath and around edges, the mushrooms weren't very good at all. Genourous portions served however and the service isnt bad. It can be busy Sunday mornings, if it is when you visit youll probably get your toast 5 minutes after breakfast. They stop offering breakfast at 10.30 which seems bizarre for a Sunday morning. Very popular stop for motorcyclists. Plenty of parking available. The price matched the quality and service well. Extend the Sunday morning breakfast times and id happily visit again.

Wally's Shed represents the long gone working mens cafe where you could get a full plate of food and a large mug of tea without spending a fortune. A simple type cafe with cloths and flowers on the table and pictures on the walls, it is popular with a wide variety of people and families. It wouldn't claim to be 'haute cuisine' but for it's full English breakfasts and standard dinners I doubt you will find better value for money in all of East Anglia. Drop in sometime, especially for breakfast. You won't be dissappointed!

Stopped by for breakfast while on a motorcycle ride-out with 4 friends. We all had the full English breakfast which comes with a plate of toast and a mug of Tea. Nicely cooked, good quality and superb value. friendly staff. Odd location not easy to find but well worth a visit.

This is an historic gem . You are taken back to a 50's / 60's transport cafe. I read a review that wanted it up dated ------ Hello you are missing the whole point. I do agree the sausages were awful as in my previous review. The new owner ( daughter of Wallie ) has rectified this. I would say imagine being transported in time to another era. Fun and good value. Not gourmet but not meant to be.

Wally's is the most warming friendliest place to eat and very good value for money nothing too much trouble my son a fussy eater always wants something different and this is always catered for, good home cooked hearty food and puddings "just like mother made" very child friendly and just a delight every time we visit!

I dont expect much when visiting an establishment like this. I had a breakfast which was average. The decor needs massively updating. I dont think I will come here again.

Our Military Vehicle Club arrived here on Easter Sunday for lunch. There were nearly 40 of us, all having different meals. The Staff made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. With such a large group of people, we were all served within an hour of arriving! The food was piping hot and plenty of it. Excellent value for money. We'll be back......

Sausages were awful , really poor quality . Everything else was terrific but a really good breakfast needs terrific bangers.

Was told this place was one of the best places for a full English but how wrong were they, wasn't enough food for the price you pay and the service needs to be a little bit better but otherwise it was ok. Will most likely visit again but only because my other halves dad loves taking us but that's the only reason why.

£4.50 for quality full English breakfast As much toast and tea as you want at no extra charge. I’ve been going here for over twenty years and it’s always very good. I’m getting peckish just writing this review.

Wallys is just off the Melford bypass with good parking, no traffic wardens! And good basic home style cooking with a friendly atmosphere and a lot of regulars; testament to the overall feel of the place.

If you want a very good value, tasty breakfast or lunch with polite and friendly service, head here! Will return again and again.

I've been to Wally's several times, and have always had a good value full english fry-up served quickly with hot drink refills.My only suggestion for improvement is that the coffee is instant; I would pay a little more for real coffee (drip or an individual cafetiere/french press). The tea is fine.
