The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Babergh East of England

Lavenham is a beautiful place but what makes it special is this beautiful tea rooms. Run by a super friendly lady passionate about great service, this is a place you just come in by chance to have a cup of tea but once inside you want to have a full breakfast and then stay for lunch and dinner. And then come back again next day and do it all over and over and over … Highly recommend this place and thank the owner for making this place so special and adorable with its decor, ambiance, food and drinks and service.

I am not vegan. I am not even vegetarian, but what an amazing experience. Family and friends booked the whole restaurant for my husbands Sisters 60th surprise birthday party, and what a lovely evening it was. The three course meal was exceptional, what a very talented chef. The two lovely front of house ladies were so attentive. I can't praise the Cradle enough.

Bacon sandwich with all the trimmings - washed down with a pot of tea. Just the job. Comfortable surroundings, on street parking right outside.

Went for breakfast this morning with a friend. Could not fault it 10/10. Sausage was amazing, lovely bacon and eggs cooked to perfection. People working there genuinely interested in how our experience was. Will definitely return

I had asked Shaun the landlord if he would be able to provide a BBQ and buffet for some of my family members so we could get together and celebrate the birth of my ninth grandchild who arrived on fathers day. Shaun, his sister Sophie and brother Ross were all instrumental in ensuring this event was a plesant experience and I must not forget the bar staff who coped extremely well despite the wrath of a prior event. A wonderful spread of food awaited us, this was not just what i had hoped for, this was much more than that with food spare. I could not have dreamed of such a banquet, fit for meat eaters, vegetarian, vegan and celiac alike, all explained so there was no cross contamination for anyone and special items were cooked on order. The spread was so good and in such abundance that I invited many more people from the pub to partake of the food and not skimp on the portions they gave themselves. Everyone was grateful and full, happy and had a wonderful time celebrating the new arrival and time spent together, obviously the children enjoying themselves in the large enclosed garden area was the main attraction and like the food didn't disappoint at all. THANK YOU SHAUN AND ALL AT THE ROSE AND CROWN .

I love this little cafe so much! The staff are friendly and the food is spot on. Whether you're vegan or not, you'll discover this is a special place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and a piece of delicious cake. Couple this with the amazing ceramics that are made by the owners and you'll wonder why you've never visited it before. A rare find.

Came across this lovely, friendly tearoom/cafe which is located in the pretty village of Boxford and was so impressed, I visited twice in four days. My first visit was for tea and homemade cake and the second for breakfast when I had smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast which was the best I’ve ever had. I noticed that they have a lot of local trade and seemed to be a popular meeting place for locals which is always a good sign. The lady who runs/owns the business is very friendly and extremely efficient, I will certainly be going back next time I am in the area.

Friendly service , informal atmosphere , excellent value for money local specialities homemade cakes , freshly made sandwiches in front of your eyes, takeaway also possible...

If you’re after a classic country pub with no frills, just timeless charm and great food, The Wheatsheaf is the place to go. This old-fashioned gem is full of character, with its rustic interiors, warm ambiance, and a proper traditional pub vibe. The menu stays true to its roots, offering comforting, classic dishes without the need for modern twists. I tried the fish and chips, and it was everything you’d hope for—crispy, golden batter encasing tender, flaky fish, served with perfectly cooked chips. It’s hearty, satisfying, and exactly what a pub meal should be. Dog lovers will especially appreciate The Wheatsheaf, as it’s wonderfully dog-friendly. After a countryside stroll, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, with water bowls and even treats available for your four-legged companions. The staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly take pride in maintaining the warm, inviting feel of the pub. Whether you’re looking for a classic meal, a pint in a cozy setting, or somewhere to bring your dog, The Wheatsheaf is a true treasure.

Quirky delightful shop with great value handbags and clothes, as well as sundry gifts. The owners made us welcome and told us about their Friday morning crafting sessions around the table centre store.

We had a really lovely couple of hours on 14th February having a splendid afternoon tea that I had won in the local village church raffle at Christmas. Everything was wonderful with the sandwiches, sausage rolls, cakes, scones, macaroons, heart shaped sweeties, coffee and tea. Gluten free bread and scones and cakes were all very tasty and I particularly loved the gluten free sandwiches that were generously filled. It was all so perfect and the staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel very welcome. What a very enjoyable and much appreciated afternoon tea.. thank you very much to all the team and for the lovely treat! We will be back very soon!

What a lovely place . Breakfast was very good and David is a lovely man we chatted for ages. The food was great and so was the coffee

I am no stranger to "Willow Tree" but even I was pleasantly surprised when I had a Mussels, Fish and Chips and a crumble sweet. It was simply spiffing, and exceeded any anticipations I may have had. My fellow dinners had the Liver, and were equally delighted. Well done everyone at "Willow Tree".

A lovely little coffee shop that always has some vegan options, both savoury and sweet.
