The best restaurants in Boxford Babergh East of England

Came across this lovely, friendly tearoom/cafe which is located in the pretty village of Boxford and was so impressed, I visited twice in four days. My first visit was for tea and homemade cake and the second for breakfast when I had smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast which was the best I’ve ever had. I noticed that they have a lot of local trade and seemed to be a popular meeting place for locals which is always a good sign. The lady who runs/owns the business is very friendly and extremely efficient, I will certainly be going back next time I am in the area.

Lovely place we came across whilst out looking at churches earlier this year. Astounded to find a very rural pub, open on late Sunday afternoons. The food was lovely and satisfying and staff super friendly. The was s young lass on her first day and you wouldn’t have known it because she was great!

We come here often. Love the drinks, setting, atmosphere and excellent food, particularly the quality food vans. Very special.

Friendly staff, good food. Place was well looked after and was great place to go. Would highly recommend to try this place

Always a pleasure to sit outside this friendly cafe, drinking excellent coffee in the beautiful village of Boxford.

I visited recently on a Wednesday lunchtime to look at the pub where Wall of Death showman George 'Tornado' Smith lived. He had a famous location at the Kursaal, Southend, the largest Fairground in southern England when it opened in 1901. In the early '30's this was the first Wall of Death in the British Isles. 'Tornado' was also famous for his pet lioness which rode on the handlebars of his American Scout motorcycle until it became too large so a sidecar was added!! Locals in Boxford were not surprised to se him walking his pet in the village but I'm sur e it caused consternation along Southend seafront! There are quite a few photos in the delightful pub and what looks like an early advertising sign for the Wall of Death. The pub serves Mauldon cask beer from the excellent brewery in Sudbury. A large coffee machine provides excellent coffee to accompany the lovely cakes on display. Apparently arrangements are being made for cooked food in the evenings to augment the current panini menu. As we were only on a fleeting visit I cannot provide ratings for food etc.and at the time is was quite quiet.

We called in for a pint and light lunch after a morning’s country walk and were not disappointed. This is a ‘proper’ pub that also serves a limited range of food and it is in a rural location. It is good to see it surviving...

Very friendly, welcoming pub. Great food, attentive staff and good atmosphere. Food was freshly cooked, varied menu and reasonable prices, a really enjoyable evening
