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 🦁

Lovely village pub run by the friendly locals.great prices and large outside beer garden and park for the little ones.

Such a lovely old country pub full of character and charm. The manager Emma is very warm and welcoming. The menu is extensive and I had trouble deciding what to have, I had the chicken curry that was very tasty and so much lean chicken in it. Lovely fluffy yellow rice and naan bread with mango chutney,very yummy. Definitely going to visit again soon

This is a small village pub that oozes atmosphere it's a hit with the locals who make my husband and I feel welcome each time we have visited us. There is an open fire for the cosy feel in winter the old building fills you with a sense of history which makes me feel it has many stories to tell. Through another door is a room for the sports fans with TVs showing sports and a pool table for those who like a game. The staff were welcoming but not imposing leaving us free to enjoy our time there. We have decided to visit more often

This was our first visit but based on our experience today it won’t be our last. Superb food and service in a delightful setting. The sunny garden was just delightful. Lots of choice for everyone and some good offers too. Oh and excellent top notch toilets. Seems weird to mention but this is an aspect that lets many places down.

Excellent service from the guy who served us , so friendly .good food and beer , great dog friendly pub. We would return to this pub. Thank you

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.

Best Chinese ever, travel all the way from Basildon to get it

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.
