The best restaurants in Gislingham Mid Suffolk East of England

Probably the most welcoming and friendliest pub I have ever been. Dog friendly and I mean super dog friendly, our pup had extra treats and welcome sausage!! She definitely steal the show. Burger and fish was delicious, atmosphere, staff both brilliant!

We stopped off for the first time yesterday as having passed by may times sow e thought lets give a go. First impressions were good but beware of low beams if your 6ft. We were kept waiting so long that we were on the verge of walking out but we were glad we stayed as the cream tea and coffee were very good and we will be stopping off there again and the waiting time was a one off.

The owner of this place does not have a clue about running a business which includes giving polite, courteous customer service because she has none of these skills! Off hand, flippant and down right rude are skills she is good at. The staff they employ are inexperienced, ignorant and lacking any customer skills also. Asked if they could serve a flat white coffee they responded, “never heard of it” and when we asked what beer they had the waitress said one in a bottle with a red label and one with a blue label. Unbelievable! Overpriced and the food is very mediocre, we cook better and tastier at home. Never go again and would never recommend. Tip for owner, go on a management course to help your inexperienced staff and while there learn some customer service skills.

Brilliant place to eat, drink, and hang out with family and friends.

Love it here, we come at least once a month, we've had breakfast baps, lunches, scones, coffee & cake and a fair few ice creams! Food is always delicious. Staff are always polite and service is good. They do get very busy which can mean a bit of a wait sometimes, but it's rare we've had to wait too long, and you only have to look around to see why you're waiting so it's not a big deal.

Lovely freshly cooked wholesome British food, with some interesting twists on the specials board, more than just pub grub. I had steak, tomato and almond pie, mashed potato, carrots, cabbage and green beans followed by damson Panna cotte

This was our second visit to this beautiful pub and once again it didn’t disappoint. Lovely friendly staff, a cosy environment and delicious food. Can’t wait to come back.

Slow service incompetent staff waited for ages for something so simple as a scone and coffee. Will never eat there again. The worst example of British catering. Avoid at all costs.
