The best restaurants in Babergh East of England

Always my goto place

Down a quirky alley. Food was quick, hot and tasty, just what you would expect from a pizza takeaway. Cannot fault.

Tables not cleared or cleaned, staff too busy chatting instead of serving and toilets are disgusting. Poor attitude from the manager. I asked if he could clear the table, but he just ignored me and I ended up doing it myself. This us totally unacceptable as there we 3 staff on and it was not at all busy

I think the burger and drink for £15 is a great deal, but it needs to be made clearer which drinks are covered in the deal. I had one pint of Moletrap and that was OK .When I changed to my usual drink of Guinness , I was really disappointed. The bar staff did not know how to pour a good pint of Guiness.It came up virtually flat and too cold also.

This was my first visit to The White Horse and must say just how pleased we were that we went. I will definitely be going again.

Lovely food and lovely service.

I stayed here Saturday night, room was ok but mattress was uncomfortable, shower fitting was really stiff and water flow was poor.. had a meal in the restaurant at night- salmon with mash & green beans, salmon overcooked & mash underwhelming! The dining room has no vibe & waiting staff no banter not through lack of trying, maybe some music would help the atmosphere! The saving grace was the breakfast in the morning, very good..hence 2 stars ..

I had been wanting to eat here for a few years, but the limited opening times of the former owners prevented it. Thankfully, the current owners have a different vision and are open every day to serve great food and drink. It is also good to find somewhere you can enjoy fine dining which is dog friendly. The staff are excellent and the food worthy of its fine dining status. The wine list is exceptional with some stunning top wines from around the world. Can I humbly suggest that chef Matt Hurry introduces a tasting menu option. My wife and I look forward to enjoying the great food he and the team in the kitchen deliver very soon. Thank you all for a memorable evening.

The food was brilliant, we had a varied choice, each of us choosing an item we thoroughly enjoyed. Cannot fault the food. Sadly we felt let down by the volume of a few of the staff. Not only in voice but when clearing tables, the cacophony of voice, plates and cutlery is why I can only give 3 stars. Not all the staff were loud, just 2.

terrible service , delivery time stated , 40 mins late i call and apparently is in car , 30mins later , still in car apparently as driver went cornard first , then another 20 mins call up and they say now cooking in the kitchen !!! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS

We all had lunch here today,girlfriend,daughter & Grandchildren. Service,food atmosphere was & is always fantastic. The staff are simply the best. Keep up the great work. Steve

Great pub with incredible views and good vibes! Thoroughly recommend.

Great afternoon visit to the Swan with the best company. The food was delicious, we were told there’s a new chef. The beef rib was really tasty as was the turkey dinner. If you haven’t been for a while you really must try the Swan again. Service was amazing from Gill.

Table for 4 booked for 730pm. Arrived promptly but put our order for dinner but 3 of our orders were already sold out at 730pm! My goodness, what will will eat they did not have any back ups, and our party had to make do. Come on we booked early in the weekend, and they were not full then, why had they not put extra away in case of over orderring? I do not think this restaurant will survive, come on, they were not even even full!!

Interesting and varied menu, good price, friendly helpful staff. We have small appetites, so just had a starter and dessert. Both were excellent, the dessert was light and fluffy. The pub had been recommended by a friend, so we tried it but it was so good we went back again the following day.
