The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Booked a table for our family and friends for dinner last night and really glad we did: the pub was packed! And no wonder, the meal was superb. They have changed up the menu, keeping the traditional old favourites but adding in some interesting new dishes. I had the falafel which was delicious. The rest of our party had burgers and chicken goujons. Everyone agreed that the food was fantastic. Sam and the team were brilliant, as always. So happy this is our local.

We throughly enjoyed an excellent Sunday roast today of the highest quality at, The Huntsman and Hounds in Spexhall. Attentive staff, including a comfortable country pub atmosphere Highly recommended We will return again soon.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service. The food was home cooked and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back

A delightful dining experience. The team feels like a real family, working together to make your visit welcoming and memorable. After some tasty nibbles to whet the appetite we had the nose to tail pork and halibut dishes. Both cooked to perfection with rich flavours. The deserts were a wonderful poached apple with caramel and spice, and a rhubarb crumble soufflé, simply sublime. The atmosphere is friendly with tables nicely spaced. With groups and couples enjoying each other’s company and very nice selection of drinks. There is a really nice wine and cocktail menu to try! A true gem in a lovely village setting.

Delicious and well presented food, helpful and pleasant staff, nice surroundings, easy parking and reasonable prices. We did not try their extensive range of steaks but the dinner menu was varied and gave plenty of choice. What is not to like? All in all a very pleasant dining experience,

Best fish and chips we’ve had in a very long time. Very good value for money too. Staff were very polite and friendly. Will definitely be going back soon.

Been here many times before (breakfast & sunday roast) & always been good food & service. Both ordered Ham Egg & chips but were served Gammon instead of cold ham -- very disappointing -- both of us left most of meal & explained to the waitress our reason, but she wasn't really interested. They are also adding 10% service charge to the bill now.

I would 100% recommend & rate this as the number 1 best pub in Suffolk. This pub used to be a restaurant unfortunately didn’t take off very well. So the owner Derek (who is a lovely man) turned it around into a full scale pub. With a pool table,dart board & big TV’s and nice seating areas in and outside. I’ve been going to this pub only for about a year or 2. The service is 5* every time without fail. Staff are a o friendly. Even the locals are welcoming. They have a nice play area down the bottom with a swing and a slide to accommodate kids. The atmosphere is always very chilled and relaxed in there which brings a nice vibe in the pub but probably not for business. But overall I cannot rate this pub anymore. Well worth a visit and to recommend to family and friends!

Whenever we’re at the caravan park we always visit here and sit outside with the dog. Staff are friendly and very busy at times, a little patience and politeness goes a long way. Great to sit alongside the canal and enjoy a cold one or coffee and cake.

Rubbish don’t know how people go there

Really enjoyable pub lunch. I had the chefs pie of the day, Pheasant and Partridge served with mash, red cabbage, mashed carrot and swede and brussels sprouts. It was home made to a very high standard, absolutely delicious and far more filling than it looked. It wasn't cheap at about £16 but it was good value and I'll definately be going back sometime.

Ohhh Valley farm WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL ? The ents team have improved 100% since last year and it won't DRAG ME DOWN. Keeping the crowd in the room with entertainment, great with the kids all have fantastic voices when singing No more forcing people to do trip advisors and kicking out the door at 10pm with late night the hub mustic. Oh how the NIGHT CHANGES. Activies are worth it alone for the one on one customer service . Adam did spray tie Dye with a big group. Lottie with squishies building was able to get everyone the right plush even with the limited stock Kc with painting figures got everyone prepped and ready super fast and we had a lack of sitting around waiting was able to speak to each table evenly and super friendly.. PERFECT We saw them all on stage including CHLOE throughout this week. RIGHT NOW, they make YOU&I feel like the only one in the room I can't wait to see the ABBA Show and watch the team sing the BEST SONG EVER The only reason to visit valley farm is the entertainment team! Give me a month and I'll return ! 18*

Great pub.very friendly staff good beer.nice garden friendly clientele.well worth a visit.

Visited with family, ordered food which was rated very good by all. The fish & chips three if us had was the best we have had for a long time. Portion sizes are good & reasonably priced. Great location, staff very friendly & welcoming.

They really need to sort out their system. Not for their first time we went for breakfast and booked in the restaurant. They couldn’t find the booking but said sit anywhere. We took a table only to be told we were in the conservatory and we should order at the counter rather than be in the restaurant and get table service. Then told when I tried to order an extra item “it doesn’t work like that” when we’d done exactly that the previous time. Food was ok but the needlessly over complicated system (are you in the conservatory or the restaurant, when it all looks part of the same place)!really lets them down.
