The best restaurants in Dodnash Babergh East of England

Visit here frequently as we live locally. Always a friendly welcome. Delicious home made food and cakes. Very accommodating with all their customers. Highly recommend.

We had dinner bed and breakfast here for our anniversary, the room was amazing and the staff couldn’t do any more for us.. even making arrangements for my husband to have his favourite lobster 🦞 I would highly recommend the Lion and we will definitely be returning in the summer to sit in their lovely gardens. Thank you to everyone at the Lion 🦁

A very warm welcome on a coffee morning. Delicious homemade cakes and lots of good chat. Thank you ladies.

Great for delicious home cooked food. Fish pie exceptional, desserts devine. Staff lovely and real fire is very welcoming.

As always lovely food at great prices. Good selection of beers. Friendly and really helpful staff. Support this pub 👍

We met with friends for lunch today. East bergholt is a superb location , lion brasserie is a great place to spend time meeting friends. The service was brilliant, no rush at all. I had a steak that was cooked to perfection. The rest of the party enjoyed their food as well. We had a lovely time and will be back soon.

We came for a few pints and had dinner. The staff was great to get to know. The main part of this very old pub was snug and the fire was just perfect for the evening. The beer was perfect. This is not the largest pub menu but what we ordered was very good pub food. If you go to this pub you will be treated like a local with great service and wonderful conversation.

Wonderful. I put a review on Google, but for those here - you must pay Dawn and her staff a visit. The food, service, ambience is excellent and very good value for money. Plus, even if you haven't a sweet tooth, the cakes & scones are heavenly - writing this my mouth is watering 💖👍👍👍👍👍

This pub offers a friendly pub atmosphere! Great local pub. The landlord is fantastic and very welcoming! Great drinks, open mic nights, and other themes.

Really nice food, best Chinese we’ve had for a while. Travelled from Rayleigh as nothing that great available locally since the Choi Yin closed.

I think this place does the best breakfast and coffee in the whole of Essex, the staff are so accommodating and are such a friendly bunch, it’s family friendly and has a selection of farm animals ranging from goats, horse, 2x highland cows, alpacas, pigs and donkeys, a pond with ducks for adults and children to see and a small play area for children. I just want give a massive shout out to LOIS, she really goes out her way, above and beyond to deliver the best service each and every time I visit and makes this place that extra special.
