The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Lovely place, thoroughly enjoyed by our motorcycle group

Popped in for lunch and was well impressed at the menu, presentation and service. Comfortable well-equipped bar area which was huge! Very enjoyable meal and atmosphere. Excellent.

Nice pub , love it because it's very dog friendly! Good beer and cider selection.

Beautiful setting with a lovely beer garden area but unfortunately the food was not to standard. Quite small portions and the roast dinner was quite undercooked with very fatty beef, not fresh at all. The prices are very high but not reflected in the food or service. Glasses were dirty, cutlery was dirty and the ice cream sundae glass was so bad we actually thought it was frosted glass 🤮. So disappointed

Amazing food, 1st class service, we ate here 4 times during our 10 day camping trip,every meal was delicious, the staff are hard working and so lovely. Recommend the ham and eggs, steak and ale,lasagne and the gammon. The desserts are to die for, particularly the flake cheesecake. Beautiful building and garden, super dog friendly, even the dogs got a treat. Great value for money, quality food 👌

The food and the service were absolutely amazing! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Absolutely beautiful place 😍. We will be back! ❤️

Beautiful restaurant area, attentive staff, excellent starters but the main meal was very average. We were in and out in just over 40 minutes. My wife has a chicken dish with satay sauce which was a tasteless sludge, I had a sirloin steak which was barely O.K. We did not bother with desserts. On the whole the meal was very average.

We passed this pub whilst visiting family in the area. It looked beautiful, with lots of colourful hanging baskets a lovely garden area at the front. We called in to enquire about booking a table for 6 people, and returned the following evening. There is a great choice of food on the menu (although maybe not a great choice if you are vegetarian - as one of our party was). We ordered and the food came, much quicker than expected as we'd ordered a variety of dishes. It was all hot, freshly cooked and really good. Friendly staff and good service. Would definitely return if in the area again.

This is our go to place to relax, enjoy good food and wine and a gin and tonic or 2! This was our mid summer view and we enjoyed the Friday BBQ on the lovely garden terrace. Room 6 is suitable for wheelchair users with a wet room grab bar and shower stool. The staff are wonderful and nothing too much trouble for them. Neil and Gill are fantastic hosts. Rooms spotless. Great breakfast and dinner to order. What more can I say.

Every now and then my husband and I go away, just for one night, to spend some quality time with each other away from family worries and work. We don't tend to go far as my father has dementia and I'm his medical contact should he fall ill. We chose The Cherry Tree in Woodbridge for our trip this time and arrived to find a beer festival was in progress and a band was setting up. Not the type of break we had expected, but what a great evening we had. The staff were lovely, the beer was amazing and the food... the best homemade steak burger I've ever had, and my husband was impressed with the think slices of ham, egg and chips he had. The menu was extensive, and we could of had anything from curries and steaks to jacket potatoes and fully loaded sandwiches, there was something for every taste and full children's menu board too. As for accommodation, this was in a building across from the beer garden. We had the loft apartment (above the other two rooms available). A spacious, clean, comfortable room with everything you would expect from a B&B (tea/coffee, TV, bathroom towels, shampoo and body wash), ensuite bathroom with over bath shower and an exceptionally comfortable king sized bed... we slept very well. Breakfast (served between 9 and 11am on Sundays) was from a list of at least 10 items, with batista style beverages. We enjoyed the Full English breakfast, it was delicious and extremely filling. To answer the usual TA questions, yes dogs were allowed, yes there is off road parking, yes a play area for children and yes we will probably go back again in the future. Surrounding area... Notcutts garden centre across the road, historic Woodbridge is well worth a look, fabulous walk along the river (takes approx 2 hours loop walk) and Ufford Park Golf and leisure just up the road through Melton (amazing Spa facilities) Happy travels x

Frequenting here far too often Brilliant Sunday lunch - highly recommend the double cooked belly pork and side of cauliflower cheese. We ordered extra vegetables but didn’t need them really. Great portions - delicious food and service Lunch with friends today. Fantastic this pub is open for food on a Monday. Today we tried the small plate of fish and chips for £10. It was delicious, crispy excellent food. Still no room for dessert Highly recommend

Having spent the day helping my elderly mother reorganise her home in preparation for some building work we were tired so decided to go out to eat. The Black Swan is quite local so we chose there. However when asking for a table for two she stalled, said something about bookings and would see if there was a table (even though we could see the restaurant was virtually empty!). She then took us to a table hidden from the rest of the restaurant, behind a pillar, near the toilets. We had clearly been judged on our appearance, since we hadnt changed before coming out. The other staff were fine as was the food, but we wont ever go back.I only decided to write this review when I saw that we werent the first to be treated badly.

The guy used his hands to put ice in a glass. Massive red flag

Lovely warm atmosphere. Helpful, friendly staff.

I had a Greene King voucher to spend, and this is a Greene King pub. The landlady refused to accept the voucher and couldn't get away quick enough when I asked how I might find a place to spend it. Charmless.
