The best restaurants serving British food in Stowmarket South Mid Suffolk East of England

We used to enjoy our outings to the Gladstone, but it has turned into a dirty, smelly and "clicky" place to eat or drink! Instead of being dog friendly it is more like a dog kennel - dogs annoy non-dog owners by licking them etc and sitting on the seating instead of under the tables. The seats and tables are dirty and the whole place is unhygienic - we will not return and will leave it to the arrogant dog owners who think everybody wants to be licked and dribbled on by their pets!

Best Chippy in the stowmarket area! After trying a few, no one comes close. Chips are always perfectly cooked, you can ask for a box to avoid paper wrap. Prices are pretty good and the staff are always welcoming. The place is clean and there are around 4 spaces for cars just outside or you can park at the petrol station. Fish and battered sausages are always crispy, well seasoned and not extremely greasy. Two can eat for under £15.

disgusting filthy place, dont visit, third room we had to accept, didn't stay the second night, bar area, rooms all tatty, they say its going to be refurbished next year, it wants closing down now at least till this work has carried out.
