The best restaurants serving British food in Babergh East of England

One of the best breakfasts we've ever had, amazing quality, great portions ( the so called childrens breakfast was at least adult size). Lovely to see the animals also. Will definitely be back.

A lovely place, with wonderful staff and excellent food. Cannot fault anything about our visit. Thank you all so much. Will certainly be visiting very soon.

Went there last night had a lahmacun it was really nice

Stopped by for a drink today having not been there for about 20 years, was a superb friendly unchanged place to be, the roast dinners looked great and we will return for one soon, a most enjoyable pint of Adnams ale.

Nice quirky country pub, a little cold in the evening but they have a nice open fire. Good selection of food, though service was very very slow - we arrived on the earlier side of the evening, and they weren’t super busy, but still had to wait for over half an hour for our food… Food was good, not cheapest (both main and dessert).

Couldn’t end up eating due to several intolerances, however the man on the phone couldn’t have been more helpful and did offer to whip me up a curry (unfortunately, my fussiness did come out and I don’t like curry).

Very disappointed with the vegetarian option which was a beetroot burger. Apart from a small burger and the bun with two onion rings, there was no relish or salad or mayonnaise. This was my second visit and no improvement in the vegetarian options .

The place itself is amazing but not a good start to our evening in the restaurant. Not all menus were given to look at. Our drinks took ages to come after ordering and we had to ask for them. Once we had ordered and dinner arrived we had to ask for Cutlery. Fillet steak was very bland no flavour and beef Wellington was very soggy pastry which let it down completely. Over all not an experience wanting to go back to when the bill was a lot of money. We told staff about how we felt and nothing was done. So will not be returning unfortunately.

We celebrated my sisters 50th birthday here ! We had the private function room upstairs which has recently been refurbished and it was lovely. We were allowed in early to decorate with banners and balloons. Baring in mind we were a large group and all opted for three courses the food was still all served together so we had no one waiting, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We couldn't fault it all :) A few of the family stayed and were extremely happy with rooms and the yummy breakfast :)

A nice experience at the Crown. Lovely character to the place and the food was generally good. Three is us had the roast beef and one the roast pork. Service was generally good, although would have been good to have got the roast with the terrine, rather than halfway through. Would definitely go back though.

Requested a twin room but arrived to be shown into a double. Couldn't be changed until the following day apparently! Went down for breakfast on Saturday morning at about 8:30 (breakfast served from 8 - 10). No staff apart from the cleaner. She kindly tried to provide some tea, milk and cereals - and bread. So we made do without a cooked breakfast (included in the rate we paid). At about 9:10 a young lady appeared who offered us a cooked breakfast just as we were about to leave the restaurant. No apology. No kitchen staff. Just awful. I did get an apology from the General Manager later that day and Sunday morning breakfast was fine. Certainly won't use this hotel again.

Arrived at pub after our hotel Restaurant let us down and really glad our hotel did , as we had the best sunday roast possible Everything cooked to perfection compliments to everyone The staff were very busy but had time for you and nothing was too much trouble Highly recommend this place to all

My bestie and I recently re visited for their afternoon tea. We were here last July and I was here again last October. We ordered the savoury version again and it was as delicious as it was before. The service is very good, the surroundings both comfy and stylish and the price point is excellent. We always used to go to high end London afternoon teas such as the Berkeley, One Aldwych and Rosewood, which are superb, but take a lot more effort to reach and are naturally more expensive. We will be back soon.

Really good service and food, impressed with accomodating attitude and carvery organisation. Uncrowded seating is a bonus

We called in for a pint and light lunch after a morning’s country walk and were not disappointed. This is a ‘proper’ pub that also serves a limited range of food and it is in a rural location. It is good to see it surviving...
