The best restaurants in Babergh East of England

We’ve been to The Watering Place a few times for breakfast and lunch and always been blown away by the quality of experience. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is exceptional and the setting is relaxed and beautiful in all seasons.

Absolutely awful , my partner requested a Spicy Italian with BBQ Sauce and no red onions , and what did we receive? A Spicy Italian with red onions and MAYO which he is allergic to. Never ordering from here again. Disgusting.

Was a pleasure for me to go with my family to this restaurant, the food was ready quickly and hot, the staff was professional and friendly. I really enjoyed it. The ambience was cozy. I really recommend this restaurant for my friends. Great job guys keep it up like this. ❤️❤️

Not one of the better 'Spoons meals we've had. We often eat in Wetherspoons and enjoy the fish and chips but this one wasn't good. The chips on both meals were barely lukewarm, as was the cod. My burger was fine & the beer decent enough.

Went here for lunch but disappointed that they had absolutely nothing for vegans apart from soya milk for coffee/tea.

Always loved the pizza's from here, but unfortunately will probably not be using them in a hurry again. The last time we ordered we didn't received either the coleslaw or the drinks we had ordered, was a bit naffed but let it go. Last night I made an online order for the Crazy 9" meal deal which at the time of ordering let me choose which pizza I wanted, took me through to the chicken which clearly stated 6 pieces and a dip, I also received chips and a drink with the deal. Chips are never nice from here so we usually stick in the air fryer for a few mins to actually cook them. On arrival we find we only received 4 pieces of chicken, having had missing items before I decided to ring the restaurant to inform them. I was met with a very abrupt lady who continually talked over me and insisted that I only got 4 pieces of chicken with this deal. Very rude indeed and that's the reason I may not return. She needs a lesson in customer service I think. I then went and checked the confirmation email I had received for my order that clearly stated 6 pieces. I then went on to their website again to find they had quickly changed the meal deal to 4 pieces, amazing how quick some people can work and change things when they want to appear correct. So I decided to actually go through the deal again and low and behold once I got to the chicken pieces it still informed me that 6 strips where included. So when you hurry to change things I suggest you change the whole meal deal and not just the front part of the content. The pizza itself was lovely but the rudeness and being scolded like I was a five year old was not. Very let down. Staff need training in friendliness.

Called in here whilst in Sudbury. Not been for years. Popped into Greggs and the food, as always, was good, the cleanliness of the place wasn't that great. The girls were standing about chatting and the floor was covered in crumbs and looked decidedly grubby. Not somewhere I usually go to and I don't think this is a place I will be in any hurry to rush back to.

Call at Tesco's in Boston for an awesome and amazing culinary experience best features the massive mushroom decent pot of tea to lovingly reliable friendly service with a smile shame there's no table reservation service

We ordered food, jacket potatoes and it was appalling. The potatoes were cold and there was blue roll stuck to rim of the microwaved insipid bean chilli that I ordered. When I confronted staff with my opinion of the food there was no apology or contrition, just a sarcastic thank you. Absolutely piss poor food and service.

Ordered my meals through the McDonald's app at 16.50. Should have known there would be an issue when I then received a message to say my delivery would be delayed due to another order. Food finally arrived at 18.05 and was stone cold and they had put cheese in the burgers which I had asked to be removed. Contacted McDonald's and was given an Uber number to ring. Have spent all evening and this morning trying to get through to be finally told that they will not refund my money as they feel that waiting for over an hour is fine and that it doesn't matter whether the food was edible, and that I had actually received my food. Therefore they will not refund my money. Contacted McDonald's to be told that there is nothing they can do I have to go through Uber. Nobody wants to take responsibility. I will never use this again. No good going to McDonald's either as can't park due to Uber drivers taking up all parking spaces. Furious

I ordered a takeaway of Salt and pepper squid and bbq ribs, both were inedible, the squid was rock hard, chewy like rubber and raw, the ribs were smothered in something, it looked like lard. It all went in the bin!

Ordered takeaway at 18.30 told an hour and food finally turned up at 20.40 . Phoned twice chasing it and rude staff saying it only a bit late . Bloody joke first and last time ordering from them . Food was cold and had to reheat as well .

Have a big family meal this evening with my family and mother and the chicken was so so salt my family wouldn't eat the food then talked to a manager called hubby 😀 he did nothing at all and seemed very rude didn't even offer to redo the food or even a refund 😑 nothing terrible service. Avoid this pooly run KFC eat somewhere else if possible don't waste your money... hubby is a joke

Good value and nice food,good service,and polite and friendly staff,plenty of seating and very clean,good variety of hot and cold,nice cakes as well

TL;DR: Do not order over the phone for the love of god, just order through the internet instead. Good luck ordering over the phone here LOL, i cant understand half of what the guy is saying. I phoned them and told them that i wanted to make an order over the phone but the guy kept telling me over and over again that "theres better deals on the app" despite the fact that i kept telling him over and over again that i want to order over the phone... why do you keep telling me that theres better deals on the app when i keep telling you that i want to order over the phone?... and so i then started asking if i am able to order over the phone because it seemed like he was telling me to use the app instead, but instead of answering me; he instead just kept repeating himself again saying that "theres better deals on the app"... its a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer... am i able to order over the phone? just simply say 'yes' or 'no'... jesus christ... he was doing this a lot avoiding answering my questions and instead answering my questions with things that i didnt ask, stop telling me over and over again that theres better deals on the app... i dont care about the bloody app, i just want to make an order over the phone like ive just told you 10 bloody times jesus... and then after repeating himself for the 10th time saying "theres better deals on the app"; he then hung up on me (wow) im guessing because he wanted me to order through app instead of phone. I then immediately called him back and told him again that i wanted to order through phone, and this time instead of repeating himself telling me "theres better deals on the app" again for the 11th time; he instead said "ok". Ok... so i can now finally start telling you what i want then... i told him what pizza i wanted and that i wanted a coke, he then told me that there was 2 different coke options (i have no idea what both of the coke options were that he said though because i cant understand a word that hes saying), so i just told him that i want a normal coke, but he then told me that its going to cost more because ive got a (something) coke (i couldnt understand what coke he said), and so i then told him that "no, i just want a normal coke", but then he still proceeded to charge me extra anyway for the coke which i said i didnt want, at which point i just sighed and just decided to let him charge me extra money for the coke that i dont want because i cant be bothered with the hassle. I then asked him if i could pay by cash or card when the delivery arrives to me but he said that i instead had to pay right now by telling him my debit card information over the phone, so he then started asking me for lots of debit card information (asked for 16 digit card number, asked for 3 digit security number, asked for expiry date, and asked for the adress of my bank) which i found a bit suspicious and so i kept asking him if he was going to ask for my pin number, but instead of answering me; he instead kept telling me that hes asking for my security number, stop bloody telling me that you're asking for my security number and instead actually answer my bloody question... its a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer... are you going to ask for my pin number? just simply say 'yes' or 'no' jesus christ... like i said earlier; he was doing this a lot avoiding answering my simple yes or no questions and instead answering me with things that i didnt ask. In the end; he said that my "home adress doesnt match up with your debit card" (whatever that means) and so after all that; i wasnt able to pay by card and so i therefore wasnt able to order over the phone because they wouldnt let me pay by cash or card when the delivery driver arrives to me. What a waste of time... and so i then ordered over the internet instead and omg... i should've just ordered over the Internet to begin with in the first place instead of trying to order through phone to save me wasting my time because ordering over the internet was so much quicker and easier than ordering over the phone having to deal with that annoying staff member.
