The best restaurants in Babergh East of England

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)

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 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.

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!?

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.

Double bed suit is nice for the money. Nice continental breakfast in your room. If we are back this way we will definitely book the King's Head again. Only down side is we arrived on Tuesday after a 4 hour drive we arrived at 15.00 but couldn't book in until 17.00 One last thing £18.50 for a small frozen fish and chips and £18.50 for a small burger and not so nice fries. Way too expensive for the quality of food served. But that is my only moan. Would book again but would eat at the Gardeners arms down the road. The food was superb.

Food was delicious but we had a 2 and 1/2 hr wait for the delivery! When ordering at 6.40pm we were told it would arrive between 7pm and 8.30pm… it arrived at 9.10pm!! Gone past the hungry stage. They shouldn’t promise a time if they can’t deliver and they shouldn’t take orders if they can’t stick to the times they have given.

Wonderful welcome from the hosts. The staff were friendly and very helpful. First time in a restaurant with our four legged friend Roxy (a very reactive Jack Russell), the staff were amazing with her and we felt relaxed. Lovely choice and quality of food beautifully presented. We had an excellent meal catching up. The village is delightful. Thank you everyone.

So much potential but all the food tasted the same - bland and no spice. Such a shame. Not recommend if you like spicy food

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...

Fairy disappointed with the coldness of the owner. His customer service wasnt particularly friendly, sadly. We'd been recommended this upstairs cafe, which is quite a tight space, however we were left feeling we'd gone elsewhere. We felt a burden and rushed. The food we ordered was well presented. That's the only positive, which is why I have given 3 stars. Otherwise for customer service, Id have given less. Downstairs is fabulous chocolates and confectionery. Again a very narrow space. To get up to the tiny cafe its up steep stairs and may not be suitable for people with mobility issues. There are many other tea rooms, in Lavenham, Id choose before Id consider this one again.

Ordered takeaway for delivery at 5.05pm, told delivery will be within 1 hour. At 6.45 I call and am told it will be about 10-15 mins as doing another delivery first. I advise that will be two hours almost when you said within an hour and the guy reacted as if I was out of order for complaining. He wasn’t bothered. Never take customers for granted or you will lose them and this will be the last time I use them. Have been told the new Indian is much better by neighbours so that is where I shall go.

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!

Today we choose of the new menu. The seabass was excellent, would certainly have it again. The chicken salad was also very good. Chicken was grilled beautifully. Averto chef came out to see how our food was, and we had a lovely chat. Linda's customer service as always was fantastic. The manager was ahead of us with opening the door for us. Lovely quality food, excellent service
