The best restaurants in Thurston and Hessett Mid Suffolk East of England

Friendly staff, good food and amazing home made cake. There are indoor and outdoor small play areas too.

Absolutely awful! Waited for over an hour and 10 minutes in the queue. Not worth the wait!! Disgusting

Fantastic evening at Thurston Fox and Hounds, we were a party of 20 celebrating a 60th Birthday. We were offered the stables, a brand new dining area this was beautifully decorated and tucked away with plenty of room, the menu had a great selection of meals (that we pre ordered due to the size of our party) something for everyone. The food was delicious, very generous portions, really reasonably priced and the staff could not have done more for us. Thank you all so much for making this celebration even more enjoyable, we will definitely be returning very soon and wish you great success for the future.

Why anyone would choose to call a cafe Tickety Boo is beyond me but the food is good and you don't eat the name! Very strange and off-putting style where they take your money before you eat - which meant we didn't order any cake after our meal as we couldn't be bothered to queue and pay all over again. None of the diners I've seen in here look like the type that would run off without paying! Despite this the food really was excellent and I will be back for more.

Nice food Pleasant staff Good beer What more can you ask from a restaurant.

Good selection of food cooked to order good portion size

Had a lovely meal, couldn't fault the choice of food, the staff were helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed.

As friends, four of us try to get together once a month to try a different place to eat. After a delicious meal earlier in the month, I suggested we tried the Christmas Menu at the Fox and Hounds. We were not disappointed. We had a lovely evening with delicious food. The Christmas set meal was amazing. I particularly enjoyed the Salmon but the Turkey looked equally appealing. Full marks to all the team at the Fox and Hounds.

First and LAST time eating here. Nearly had an accident in the car park as lunatic woman just missed us in her haste to take our parking spot before we had manoeuvred into it. Ordered the steak &kidney pudding but the meat chunks were hard chewy and inedible. Asked for the pie to be changed and was told a few minutes. By the time the replacement arrived everyone else in my party had long finished even after staggering their meals. Noticed lunatic woman was a regular chatting to staff in her filthy clothes and pushing past customers eating at tables. No discount or apology from staff. Toilets unclean. Reviews don’t look great here. Wish I’d read them beforehand. Not the best very expensive experience and will not be repeating thank you.

I stayed here for two nights this week and found it to be excellent. I stayed in one of there spacious lodges and nice shower room and the breakfast and evening meals I had was excellent the service was good as well.

The fish and chips used to be excellent but the last good quality food I had from here was in spring 2023. Not sure if the owner changed but food certainly. The cod is always very good, but the chips are actually not edible each time. The smaller chips are so dry and hard that they go to bin each time. Only the larger chips are ok. Yesterday I ordered chicken strips and they were hard and dry. Looked and tasted like they were re-heated or re-cooked. What happened to this quality chip shop?
