Fancied a little drive in Suffolk, so decided to book Sunday Lunch , phoned and pre booked , they could not fit us in at 12.30pm , so booked for 1.30pm, when we got there was just waiting for someone to seat us , the staff were just standing there, finally went over and then got seated, considering they changed the time because said busy, there were only one other party of four there. Took ages to get a drink first, the waitress came over , we ordered the Tempara prawns to start, was not home made could tell the prawn inside was just mush, the sauce it came with was disgusting, ordered the Roast Beef for main, the potatoes were deep fried, I do like my beef Medium/Rare, but so rare thought i...
Cannot rate this place high enough! We arranged for our local u3a History group to have lunch at the **** Inn at Polstead after visiting churches on the Suffolk/Essex border. Deborah was so helpful in arranging the menu, which had a good choice of meals. Nothing was too much trouble and she even arranged for gluten free bread to make the moules frites gluten free. The food and service was excellent with dietary requirements catered for. Our group of fourteen all thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The setting of the pub is in a lovely location and you must visit the church which has the most amazing views over the countryside. Thank you Deborah for making the lunch go so smoothly.
I went to this restaurant based on a recommendation and it was a lovely experience to dine in a pub that truly felt like a pub. The atmosphere was cozy with a nice open fire and locals chatting to each other. I ordered the large beer battered haddock and chips, which I would rate as a 10/10 as it was cooked to perfection. The fish was fresh and not hidden in a thick layer of batter. My wife had the halloumi burger and she thought it was the best she had ever tried. In summary, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I only trust my own experience when it comes to reviews and we will definitely be returning more often.
The cutest little pub, the owners were truly lovely and made sure you were well taken care of! The food was easily the best pub food I’ve ever had and my family used to own a pub like this!!! I had gammon and it was beautiful, not salty at all and very juicy. Hand cut fat chunky chips and wonderful fresh eggs. Even the side salad was delicious. It was quiet for a Saturday evening (pub is out of the way and hidden a little) but we very much enjoyed that. Truly wonderful place

We had pre-booked a table and requested 7:30, but the lady on the phone suggested 7pm. We compromised at 7:15 as we were meeting friends for a 6pm walk. The pie was an excellent choice for our group of 4. There wasn't much going on as we were the only ones, apart from the staff, in the pub at 7:15. The service was unobtrusive. I recommend giving this place a try as it would be a shame to lose this country pub due to lack of visitors. Carol.
Lovely friendly welcome from Deborah and her team, local community also very welcoming. Food was fabulous. Really recommend the chicken pesto ciabatta don't know how they can afford to put so much good quality chicken breast on the sandwich at this cost. Best I have had. Def recommended. EXTREMELY DOG FRIENDLY 11 10 stars
Staying in a campsite locally, we visited this lovely pub twice during our stay and if we were here longer, then l am sure we would have been back more.. Cosy atmosphere with a log fire, great food and welcoming hosts, this is a gem that if you are staying in this part of the world, you won’t want to miss!
Visited this fab village pub a number of times whilst staying locally. 2 lovely meals and drinks in a great location on the village green. Friendly staff too. Combine your visit with a walk around the village and through the very special Dollops Wood.
