The best restaurants serving British food in Babergh East of England

good choice and fine cuisine - wont say too much as I dont want others to block my future reservations - enough said though !

Lovely little tearoom in the village Long Melford, very warm welcome and service was excellent, tea was loose leaf and cake was lovely, with generous portion. Well worth a visit

Amazing ice cream! A big bonus for us was that it was suitable for our nut-allergic son, who almost never gets this sort of ice cream treat. The lady was very knowledgeable about her ingredients as it’s homemade, and made sure she got a fresh scoop for him too. He declared it the best ice cream ever! The coffee was also delicious, piping hot & served in beautiful eco-friendly cups with different designs. Highly recommend and not just for the summer, the hot chocolate looked amazing too and there was a lovely selection of gifts in the shop.

A surprise 21st birthday present from my partner! Such a lovely afternoon, good atmosphere, lovey food & friendly staff! Thank you!

Staff were friendly food was fast and the quality was amazing I had the burger size was more than enough and the quality meat was local which I love that they support smaller businesses. The lady that served us was loverly engaging with the children and a true ambassador Thank you I will defo return

Lovely little cafe, with homemade food. My sister and I had the breakfast, freshly cooked and delicious. Service was excellent. Menu changes daily and Ann made you feel welcome. Good cup of coffee too! Will definitely be going back again.

Very friendly clients and good quality beer. I was looking for a friendly chatty atmosphere where me and the wife could chill and this was perfect.

I wanted to introduce my daughter in law's parents to Chloe's. They have just moved to Ipswich but came to see me today in Brantham. We just wanted a quick lunch after a chilly shopping morning. Us 2 ladies had a lovely home made fish pie, there were plenty of prawns and a lot of other fish in a very tasty sauce. It was served with roasted diced potatoes, a nicely browned potatoes on top and fresh vegetables. The individual dish with a nicely browned mash potatoes on top. It was served in a very hot individual oval dish, which was presented piping hot which always pleases me. Our vegetarian friend had a tuna and sweet corn panini, salad chips and home made coleslaw. I enjoyed a fruit smoothie, and the others had peppermint tea. From Ronnie

This place could be so good, but the problem is they are so hit and miss. Sometimes you get a sandwich and it’s really good, full of filling and lovely and fresh, other times it’s not good at all, which when you’re paying best part of £5 for a sandwich, isn’t good enough, and you’d be better getting a packet sandwich from the local supermarket. Also, sometimes they really make you feel like you’re inconveniencing them by asking for a sandwich, or they haven’t got enough bread in stock, which surely defeats the object of a deli that does sandwiches?

From the first this is a memorable experience, from the warm welcome to the dishes themselves. The cooking is classic, reinvented English; The menu a temptation. You want to try everything on it, from the shrimp tempura to the tender duck breast; This is geared to foodies. My cooked foie gras on black pudding with a rich jus, simply burst with flavour. And the turbot! Just cooked, with a lobster sauce ; delicious. My wife’s duck with redcurrant sauce was succulent and tender. A rice pudding with deconstructed Blackwell pudding on raspberry jus was full of flavour, yet not too rich. This is a chef with a magic touch, who is attuned to his clientele.

Lovely cafe with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff, great food and the most amazing array of cakes. All homemade and top quality. Highly recommend!

A prebooked meal for 3 ladies. The pub was very quiet and we're shown to our reserved table. I ordered a vegetarian dish, brie, cranberry and walnut Wellington served with new potatoes and fresh veg. One friend had liver and bacon withe new potatoes and veg. The other friend had chicken breast with a wine sauce and the same vegs as us. Our meals were very nice and even managed a dessert. 2 of us had a cheese cake and I had Baileys bread and butter pudding with ice cream. All very delicious. We chatted a lot and weren't asked to leave although we were the last to leave, they were open until 11PM tonight.

Excellent food,great service very quiet as well & the owner came to check everything was ok & was very approachable, it is one of the best roast dinners I have ever tasted...definitely worth every single penny!!!

My wife and I stayed in a local pub where the food was nothing great and overpriced. We decided to try the chippy on our second night. Best chippy dinner we had eaten in years. No frills top fish and chips. Not the healthiest of menus, but a rare treat nevertheless. To paraphrase McArthur, ‘We shall return!’

The service and food was absolutely amazing and couldn't do enough for us, and we will definitely go back. The place was very clean and the food was very reasonably priced
