The best restaurants in Babergh East of England

First time visit because everything was shut but it looked very clean and well presented. Ordered small chicken doner kebab to go with salad. Got it home; bread was deliciously soft and very generously filled with chicken plus a well mixed side salad. Should have been great but the chicken tasted if every scrap had been diligently rolled in salt. Absolutely revolting. Straight in the bin after 2 mouthfuls. Such a shame.

I had spectacular high hopes for this little restaurant on the promenade with the most beautiful setting in North Norfolk. Then I arrived… they call themselves Whitewater … I assume from the dirty waves connecting with sand that gives a slight remembrance to a whitish colour…. I had read a lot of in house things from this ‘restaurant’ through their sister partnership with the Grove…but after a few weeks of research and seeing how they are trying to make arguably a very expensive setting count … I can only come to one conclusion: Most foul coffee… wasn’t even from a proper machine……I chose a pizza… I fancied the OG.. I was extremely intrigued to know what the OG stood for but unfortunately, the waitress didn’t seem to know what I was even on about …. I asked for a soft drink … it came as a warm can of Diet Coke from a plastic glass… as I took my place at the front of what should’ve been the best view was obscured by poor steamed up glass from a kitchen built so close to customers….. after 45 minutes of asking where my pizza was it finally arrived in the absolute only state I would class as charcoal…. Burnt to a crisp… I watched no one make fresh dough… it was obviously frozen…. Absolutely no care or attention prevailed such a worthy product … quite frankly the worse pizza in North Norfolk… if only the view was as gracious as the diabolical food… told the waitress … she argued that ‘most people like the food’ … not even these owners can count on this catastrophic encounter of dreadful over cooked and underwhelming food…. If you can’t provide a proper coffee machine why on earth would you believe you could provide great food…. I’ve most certainly will not be recommending or visiting this venue anytime in the future…. This is one place to quickly scratch off the list… and quick!

Just been with our 3 young grandchildren. Lovely service delicious coffee and a really wonderful selection of home made cakes and scones. The kids loved the squares of ‘School sponge 🍰 ‘ with icing and sprinkles.

Fantastic food,but the place is freezing cold and waiting time is terrible, by the time our food arrived our tea was cold (did give us another pot for free)

Not really a pub anymore. Owners think this is Borough Market or Hoxton rather than Suffolk. A real shame the Kings Head has be ruined. It is only open 12 hours a week .

All pastries were stone cold.. wasn’t made aware that the heater wasn’t working when we ordered. Poor customer service, gross food.

Called here on a ride with friends, great hospitality, great food and drink, really accommodating as we descended, unannounced on our ride from London to Cambridge. Thanks!

I loved this place when it first opened - but sorry - you have gone down hill - I have had 2 chilli jacket potato take-aways now - thought the 1st one was just of a bit of a mistake - didn't want to complain in case it got somebody in trouble - but now had a 2nd one! How can you honestly charge that for a tablespoon of chilli on a potato!?

I have just been to the Ram for a Sunday roast I had the beef and it was excellent my wife had the turkey and she said hers was excellent to. We also had a sweet each which was just as lovely. Darcy and Henry served us and they were terrific cannot recommend it enough well worth a visit.

Visited after a Saturday morning Great Cornard parkrun, along with many other runners. Plenty of space, seating (including high chairs), very nicely looked after, with barista coffee and snacks. Oat milk available for vegan hot drinks.

Absolutely lovely friendly staff more than accommodating Ugnė was especially lovely, really brightened my day. Wonderful facilities made me feel really welcome

Spot on every time. 30mins wait to collect normally, can be longer but this place is busy especially at the weekends. Foods always good and hotbwhen picked up. Staff have NEVER been rude and explain when things take longer due to being busy. Stop complaining and expect delays when getting deliveries, they get busy and the roads around here a rubbish.

A lovely unpretentious pub in a beautiful village with super friendly landlady and staff. Our group of 13 people fit perfectly in the panelled front parlour. There was a good range of lunch options, including roast beef and roast pork (it was a Sunday). Very generous portions.
