The best restaurants in Babergh East of England

Excellent menu with great gluten free options. But best of all are the very friendly and helpful staff.

Great find. Should have found it earlier. Food is a little bit expensive but the quality is there.

My husband myself and our 🐕 were staying over for the night and a nearby ⛺site ,one of the locals had told us how this pub restaurant had gone down hill and was only a 🌟 and to avoid . We always like to try places for ourselves, and make up our own minds , we were not disappointed .very quiet only 1 young couple with a toddler eating a meal when we arrived and a group with a child arrived abit later and maybe a couple more who just came in for a drink . We were welcomed with a smile by a very friendly chap who served behind the bar, took our food order, waited on us , and made a fuss of our dog 🦴. The menu had a variety of different dishes, and food was full of flavour . I would definitely recommend the red lion .

Great Motorhome stop over plenty of room

Arrived too late for hot food but had a delicious cheese scone

Great atmosphere, friendly staff with a good selection of beer

Found this place online . Was looking for a nice little family pub to take the kids on a Saturday early evening somewhere with some stuff for the children to do . Looked on their website and they had pictures of a big children’s play area with lots of things for them to do . So all excited jumped in the car took the 30 minute drive there to walk into the garden and not a children’s toy in sight 🤦🏻‍♂️ my heart sank . Was completely shocked no mention on the website or anywhere that’s it’s now gone . Saying that if you haven’t got kids and want a nice quiet pub with a ok garden it’s not a bad place but definitely won’t be going back .staff where friendly.

My wife and I enjoyed lunch and dinner here before staying overnight and if one word is needed to sum up this place it would be 'charming'. The location is charming, the building is charming and all the staff are charming. Linda is a lovely hostess and instantly makes you feel at home. The facilities are spotless and the prices are very reasonable. Particular mention goes to the chef. Not only is the food absolutely delicious and exquisitely presented but it is always piping hot. Already planning a return trip and stay.

Excellent beer choice, great food, very friendly and wonderful location, definitely worth a visit.

A delicious meal served by charming staff in a beautiful period building.

We chose the Lodge for my dad's 80th birthday celebrations. We could not have chosen anywhere better. There were 22 of us. The food was amazing, service impeccable and the Staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful. We will definitely return, as will so many of the first timers in the party. A real hidden gem

We had a delicious Indian takeaway from the Lasan tonight. We had chicken tikka Ceylon, chicken tikka Korma, mushroom rice, pilau rice, plain naan & poppadoms 😋😋😋

Lovely to see a pub renovated to a high standard & turned back into a pub again (not a house) great food & beer great staff all very friendly even down to the locals (lol).

Absolutely fantastic. Home made and wonderful 😀

So pleased to have the local pub back open. The food is amazing everytime, the Sunday lunch in particular! The staff are fantastic, Rhi is an exceptional manager and I love frequently visiting for just a drink as well as going for a meal. Keep up the good work! 😁
