The best restaurants in Seckford Suffolk Coastal East of England

Really lovely food limited staff member so service slow but worth the wait The restaurant is do dimly lit everyone using phone light to be able to read menu so maybe candle of lamps placed would benefit

We had the most wonderful Christmas Day experience at the Red Lion. We booked for Mother's Day and it was more than disappointing, so much so that we won't be going there again. Apparently it has changed hands which explains the extreme difference in the quality of the food.

Burnt coffee and staff don’t seem to have manners. Barista was on the phone the entire time she made the coffees and so couldn’t hold the jug to feel how hot the milk was… not cheap so expect good quality. Also they do not discount for bringing your own cup

Good service friendly staff, a great place to visit and have a great cup of coffee and watch the world go by.

Food was great, atmosphere was good too but the service let it down.

Excellent cafe, with quality food ,drink and service.The bacon and sausage brioche produced by Ben , was outstanding as was the service , cleanliness and ambience

NOW MAEVES TEAROOM. went with friends after being recommended. Coffee nice but very small cups and expensive. I ordered toastie with no coleslaw as I don’t eat dressings. Still came with something resembling coleslaw which my husband ate so I was left with just a toastie. No side salad or crisps or anything. Absolute rip off. SO EXPENSIVE Although tasty it wouldn’t have cost more than 50p to make. Friends then ordered cake (choice was poor so we didn’t have anything) and they both said it wasn’t pleasant. One said it was the worst Bakewell cake he’d ever had!!! We won’t be back!!!

Ordered this from the “specials” board, and by god was it special. My initial forage with the fork found an abundance of veg, which I thought was good. But then the second forkful was vegetables again, the meat was virtually non existent. I am not fussy really, but this was ridiculous and can’t fathom anyone actually constructing this and selling it. It came with a side of veg, which would have been nice if I hadn’t been vegged up. I’d say it’s wins the award for the worst thing I’ve eaten in at least a decade. It is basically a blob of potato on a load of veg served with instant gravy from the Co Op which we saw the waitress come in with after we ordered it. Not edible, tasted awful and no meat and you can’t serve that thinking isn’t credible. The missus had a jacket spud which was okay. Staff decent.

We visited the bakery today. The lady who served me was friendly. The Belgian bun was very scrumptious and very reasonably priced. The bakery had a lovely feel about it. The bakery was not busy at the time of visiting and all reasonable coronavirus measures were in place.

First time having food here and was delicious good polite staff good service and we got free food with our order will definitely be going again 100% perfect good portions enough for a secound meal

Two of us visited, having booked a table for 8PM. They close at 10, so plenty of time for dinner, you'd have thought - but no. Felt rushed to order (and not because we were got distracted talking instead of looking at the menu) Starters were good but no time was taken on presentation. My hummus was still smeared down the side of the bowl from serving up. We'd barely eaten the last mouthful when the waitress came back to the table, not to ask if we were finished with the starters, but armed with the main course. I'd ordered pancetta as an additional topping to my pizza, which was missing. When I brought this up, they apologised and said they could bring my some out. I was then handed a bowl of raw prosciutto (which I like, and couldn't be bothered to correct) but I did ask that it be cooked, and they obliged. No-one else came into the restaurant after us, so the other tables had started to leave at this point. They'd started to close up around us. I used to own a pub, so know staff want to do some bits to close down where they can, but it was clear they wanted to get us out of there. We were too full for dessert, and as soon as we informed them of this, they really started to get ramp up making us feel rushed out. I asked for the bill & paid. Whilst finishing our drinks, we could hear the staff talking. The chef was leaving, asking about whether he'd see the others tomorrow. We heard them discussing who was working, that there was a member of staff that wasn't in because she'd refused to work with the chef any more & actually asked for a transfer to different restaurant. Not the kind of thing that should be discussed around other customers. I checked my bank this morning, and saw that I paid the bill at 20:55! An hour before they were due to close! So absolutely insane that we were made to feel like those people who turn up 5 minutes before the kitchen closes, inconveniencing everyone. All in all, the food was okay, and it was nice to catch up with my mum over dinner, but the whole experience could have been a LOT better. As stated in my title, I always leave a tip, but last night I didn't. The restaurant was quiet, there was plenty of time before closing, there was ample capacity for the staff to provide a good service, which just didn't materialise.

Around 18 of us had the Anchor booked for lunch and it was very very good. Welcoming friendly staff and an obviously excellent chef. Eighteen orders served at the same time, all hot and superbly cooked. If you are looking for a good lunch in Woodbridge then this is the place to go.

Rude staff. More interested in talking to each other than serving customers. I was waiting at the bar to be served money in hand and the guy behind the bar looked at me several times, then another guy stood next to me came and stood next to me the barman came over and said usual to the guy next to me. It’s clear they only want you in the pub if you are a regular.

My chilli beef was not chilli beef more like battered sweet and sour beef, noodles were also not good. Highlight was the free prawn crackers!!! Chilli beef and noodles now in the bin 👍🏻 Thanks anyway.

Charlie was an amazing would always recommend. Absolutely amazing service. If you're looking for a great night out definitely go to the angel
