The best restaurants serving British food in Babergh East of England

I think the burger and drink for £15 is a great deal, but it needs to be made clearer which drinks are covered in the deal. I had one pint of Moletrap and that was OK .When I changed to my usual drink of Guinness , I was really disappointed. The bar staff did not know how to pour a good pint of Guiness.It came up virtually flat and too cold also.

Phoned at short notice for Saturday lunch. Very welcoming place with lovely friendly service. We'd have eaten pretty much anything on the menu; very hard to narrow it down. Starter portions were large, and could easily have been combined with several things on the menu. The liver & bacon was wonderful, and the wine list with several very good wines by the glass. The buildings are lovely too, with lots of rooms, and anterooms, and when the weather has warmed up, sitting outside in the courtyard looks nice too. Might come back to try the rooms too!

Very welcoming team at this pub , very helpful and super efficient in such a busy environment. Great selection of drinks/beers and so on Sunday roasts great and both the classic and buttermilk Burgers were spot on. Great choice of deserts too

Myself and partner visited The Bull for a pub lunch and was greeted by the lovely barmaid Sarah whose hospitality skills were outstanding. Sarah was so professional and helpful and guided us through the menu and also asked about any allergies we may have. Our experience was outstanding and the food was amazing. My partner enjoyed the salted pepper squid for his starter and the buttermilk chicken burger for his main. I had the king prawns and chorizo for my starter which was delicious and the hunters chicken for my main. The service was outstanding by Sarah and we will definitely be returning again soon. Thank you Lyndsey and Jason

Table for 4 booked for 730pm. Arrived promptly but put our order for dinner but 3 of our orders were already sold out at 730pm! My goodness, what will will eat they did not have any back ups, and our party had to make do. Come on we booked early in the weekend, and they were not full then, why had they not put extra away in case of over orderring? I do not think this restaurant will survive, come on, they were not even even full!!

Interesting and varied menu, good price, friendly helpful staff. We have small appetites, so just had a starter and dessert. Both were excellent, the dessert was light and fluffy. The pub had been recommended by a friend, so we tried it but it was so good we went back again the following day.

We have just had an excellent 3 night stay at the Black Lion and wanted to thank all the lovely staff for giving us such an enjoyable experience. They are a true team who work together so well meeting the needs of all who pass through their door with apparent ease, calmness and confidence. They get the balance between friendliness and professionalism absolutely right. Our room was very comfortable, clean and well-appointed with windows looking out across the village green and beyond. Our meals have been delicious and the pub/bar area with its log fire was comfortable and welcoming. Location, food, drinks, service and accommodation all come highly recommended!

Came to Suffolk food hall with my family for my birthday (8th March). Ordered at the restaurant but to my disappointment there was no cheese scones. My daughter found cheese scones in the shop and purchased one for me so I could join my family and have something to eat. I went to the restaurant to ask if I could purchase a butter portion for my scone to which I was told “no”, they are not permitted to sell individual portions. I politely asked if I could just have one, again I was told no. To spend £50 in the cafe and another £80 in the shop, I was hugely disappointed with the lack of customer service. A simple butter portion is all that was required, a very small ask. I won’t return as basic customer service skills are lacking here. Apart from the lovely girl with blond hair that took the order, the other staff were unfriendly and rude! It’s the little things that make a big difference and sadly Suffolk food hall failed to please. If you want fresh scones and good wine/coffee I would recommend Shotley Vineyard down the road, a much nicer customer experience!

Not one of the better 'Spoons meals we've had. We often eat in Wetherspoons and enjoy the fish and chips but this one wasn't good. The chips on both meals were barely lukewarm, as was the cod. My burger was fine & the beer decent enough.
