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

We booked a table for 1pm on Saturday. We were greeted on arrival and shown to a table by the window with a glorious view towards the River Orwell and the bridge. There was a slight pause before our drinks order was taken. We chose as our mains - Double Smash burger and Korean BBQ Rib of Beef. The kitchen was obviously busy, but our food came reasonably quickly - it was nicely presented and we enjoyed it. Desserts followed - Choc Pop Pannacotta and Pistachio Blackberry tart - all nicely served. Both mains and dessert menus have some interesting dishes - not just the “run of the mill” food choices. An enjoyable meal in pleasant surroundings.

Cheapest curry I’ve had in a long time. Granted u pay next to noting but cold rice that’s tastes plastic. No chicken in the tikka and nan bread wasn’t worth the pennies you’d pay for. Probably would return in a hurry

Great pub, great atmosphere, local treasure, no cooked food, very well kept beers, free house, owner managed, real fire, traditional village pub.

Great service and very polite . The food was lovely and hot and was cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend having a meal and drinks here

This is such a disappointment. Needham Lakes is a wonderful gem in Suffolk. We visit often but this café and the adjoining toilets really let it down. The place could do with a really good clean. The food and coffee are mediocre. We were so thrilled when it opened bit it really hasn't lived up to expectations.

We ate two nights in the restaurant. The menu may be a little limited and the nights specials did not change but the food was very good quality. It was tasty, well cooked and hot. The eventual bill was a pleasant surprise being quite economical for what we had. A major advantage of this restaurant is the staff. All we friendly and attentive and obliging to our needs. Thoroughly recommend it.
