The best restaurants in Babergh East of England

They are Very good, food lovely,come back again

My Partner and I have just visited your Coffee Shop in Tesco Store in Sudbury Suffolk and were served by a young lady by the name of Izi. She was a delight and the sort of person you need to keep. Made our day. Thank you

Had a meal today Good Friday with my husband. Excellent food. Huge portions. Great service and very reasonable priced. Very happy

The pub is generally quite pleasant. At lunch time I Ordered a Beef Burger with cheese. The Quantity was there, but not the quality. Awful tasting burger, so I questioned the freshness. No response.

It's in a nice location, parking directly outside for 4 cars and ample parking 3 minutes or less away, free too. It's a 5 min walk into Long Melford and it's a really nice walk too. I stayed for two nights 15 - 17 April 2025. Its a lovely building. That's the first thing you notice. Really nice bar and great selection of drinks. I had an evening meal of: Ham hock terrine, apple chutney, pork fat croutons followed by Lamb rump, lamb shoulder hash brown, loaded hispi cabbage, jus. Breakfast was included in my booking, it wasn't a buffet - I was glad about that - all freshly cooked to order and it was delightful. They clearly make their own hash browns. My room was a 'snug'. It was well presented, nice style, clean and comfortable. I don't recommend it for a couple, it was maybe a tad too snug but great for me or good for a couple who are going to be up and out. The staff are usually friendly and helpful in hotels and this was no exception. As I left one of them asked how my stay was. I said 'just short of'... perfect'. I was there for a funeral, so unlikely to be back. If I had reason to return, this would be the place I choose.

Best fries in Sudbury, always good value for money, fast delivery and always hot when it arrives, and the food is awesome

A very poor lunch, the pastry on the steak and ale pie was so hard l couldn't cut it and the meat was very sparse. Altogether a very disappointing experience

Visited this pub on two occasions this weekend. Only for drinks so cannot comment on food/ quality etc. The bar staff are something else. ! Unfortunately on the poor side. There is no communication / welcome/ how are you/ how dan we help etc. The staff appear totally disinterested in making the customer welcome and encouraging them to stay. We were in the lounge on Saturday night and last orders Bell was rang at 9.45pm. However according to the website opening times are until 11.00pm. We are visitors to the area and can advise there are better pub / restaurants locally offering a more pleasant and friendly visit. It's a good location if you are staying at the Premier Inn , next door, but the difference in customer focus from the pub staff to the Premier Inn staff, is so different. Customer service and a welcoming attitude is missing .

We were well aware that it could be a lively pub but wow on Friday the noise was unbelievable, I’m not actually complaining I did expect some noise but as the building is so old there is no getting away from it so just be aware it was noisy till 00:45am then no issue, Friday it was quiet after midnight so a welcome surprise! The room was clean and bed comfortable and staff were pleasant. I’ve scored 3 in essence it’s a 3.5 but I’ve gone down as for some reason our en-suite wasn’t. Room 5 we had a separate bathroom which was a surprise and to have to get dressed to go for a pee at 2am is a bit meh. TBH I would not have booked it had I known but I’ve taken my mark down because of it.

Spent nearly £60 and the food was awful. I hate to leave a poor review because it doesn't sit well with me that it could be detrimental to a buisness but with just forking out that much for the worst chinese I think I've ever tasted I find it hard to not be honest to others thinking of spending their hard earned money. Bland, dry and dripping in oil. Chillie beef was awful. Not one thing stood out as even half decent.

Not sure where the bad reviews are coming from here. I couldn’t fault our experience, service or meal. Seated quickly, all waiting staff friendly, attentive and fun, without being in your face or hovering. The meal was delicious. Beautiful setting right by the river. Have been a few times before and it never lets us down. Will definitely be back.

Hadn’t used Papa Johns in a long time ,so thought I would give them a go . Worst mistake ever the tater tots with cheese where rank ,even covering them in Buffalo Hot dip did nothing to improve them . And as for the pizza that was just as bad ,went for the Mexican hot and it was tasteless and bland . Sorry to say I will not be using them again .

Great tasty well portioned , spot on

We stopped for a light lunch and ordered a ham salad sandwich on granary a hot sausage roll and two cappuccinos. The sandwich and sausage roll came out immediately! The sandwich was obviously not freshly made as the bread was dry and crispy at the edges. The sausage roll was like warm. The meal came to just under £20. Very expensive and very disappointing.

Very friendly staff and the service was very good
