"The food in the Huntingfield Arms is excellent. The menu changes daily and is an eclectic fusion of dishes that will make choosing one difficult. I opted for the sharwarma chicken skewer which was presented beautifully. As tasty as it looked, it was excellent value for money. The landlord is friendly and chatty and I would have no hesitation in recommending his pub for a meal. The Huntingfield Arms is set in a quiet village with outdoor seating available, has a small shop inside selling some very tasty treats and is now my place of choice for eating when visiting Suffolk"

"We had our engagement dinner at this restaurant two years ago, and decided to return for our 1st anniversary. The first time we dined here, the ambience was beautiful with many locals enjoying drinks at the pub, and the food was exceptional. The staff were all very friendly, creating a special atmosphere. However, on our recent visit, it seemed like a completely different place. We had a reservation for 6 o'clock and were the only ones dining, except for one other family. Although the menu sounded promising, we were disappointed with our burgers and veggie chili. The burger patty was small and unimpressive, served in a plain bun like you would find at a fast food truck. The fries appeared to be frozen, rather than freshly cut and fried as they were before. The portion sizes were also quite small, and we decided to skip dessert as the only option was Eton Mess. We paid £31 for our meal, including a bottle of water, which seemed quite expensive for the quality of food we received. The woman behind the bar was friendly, but it was evident that there had been many changes. It was mentioned that a new menu would be introduced the next day, and the chef had just started that week. Overall, we were disappointed with our experience, which put a slight damper on our otherwise lovely anniversary celebration. I doubt we will return to this restaurant unless we can be assured of the same high standard of food and atmosphere we experienced before."

"This traditional pub, wow, great food, great service, good prices, always full and busy!! Had a really good experience at The Dennington Queen (again), and had some amazing food, but the service, everyone we dealt with couldn’t be more helpful, we had just about the right amount of attention without it being intrusive which made for a great evening. Choices were excellent, even for vegan food and they were happy for us to mix and match choices around. Cauliflower starter is insanely good, as was the sweet chilli chicken and sticky toffee pudding! Coming back again before we go home."

"Booked a table for New Years Eve having been told by staff that there would be a Live Band for entertainment On arrival and ordering waitress informed us there was no live band after all because, quote We did not get enough table bookings un quote !! Oh dear, how mercenary and not to mention drumming up trade by false pretences! The piped music was patchy at best and the seasonal decorations very thin on the ground. Don 't know if the establishment stayed open until midnight as we left before this time. Food though was excellent, there again it should be considering what one pays for it."

"This Sunday Roast is a must-try and should definitely be on your bucket list. It is one of the best we have had in Suffolk, and both adults and children loved it. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive a rating of 5. We highly recommend trying the Sunday Roast when you visit this restaurant."

"Have been several times and it has always been excellent overall. However this Sunday lunch today was rather underwhelming something was missing and I’m not sure what it was, have they become a victim of their own success like so many good, new, eateries? The starters were tasty but not at the level of previous visits, same for mains too. Our main courses of half pot roasted pheasant were very tough they should’ve melted in the mouth if roasted slowly which clearly they were not. With hindsight we should’ve rejected them and chosen another dish, but with friends joining us for a birthday meal it would’ve held up their main courses. I mentioned this twice to different staff members who asked, but with not much comment but, that ‘they’d relay it to the chef.’ Puddings, again, were not as good as previously ‘heavy ginger sponge’ (my wife’s comment) and a very sweet cows curd and honey glazed walnuts concoction that I had. Was is just because of Sunday service, was the chef ‘off’ his game or was it a sous chef standing in?? Is it really too much to ask of a bill for £260.00? Disappointing."

"Love this place and the fish selection available on the menu. We arrived on a Saturday and used the online booking system but I don’t recall it giving us the option to tell them we were bringing 3 dogs with us. We arrived early and popped in to say we had 3 dogs and the lovely guy who was leaving the next day arranged a nice table for us in the main bar. Some people arrived after us for lunch and headed for the dining area with dogs but needed to be redirected as clearly didn’t know dogs are not allowed in the dining room. We prefer the main bar as is nice and spacious and great if you are bringing dogs. Oysters were amazing as always and the lobster was great although I would prefer the salad that accompanied it to be in a separate dish rather than on the wooden board. Can’t wait to come back here it’s amazing and if I lived locally I would be there every week. Thanks for a great lunch."

"Visited the blue naan today with my husband, we received a warm and friendly greeting from Johnny and seated straight away. Restaurant is decorated in a modern and contemporary fashion . Seating is very comfortable with lots of space between tables. We had the Sunday special buffet, there is a good range of starters, main and sides to choose from, we were offered a mixed plate of starters, which saved us having to choose, service was very prompt, good choice of starters, we were offered more starters if we wanted. Good choice of mains, from mild to very hot. I ordered lamb Jalfrezi and chicken korma, both were delicious, hubby had chicken vindaloo, he likes it hot, rice was nicely cooked and naan bread was light and fluffy. We were offered extra dishes if we wanted. Great , friendly service from all the staff, nothing was too much trouble. We will be returning very soon."

"This curry house is another great find. If you’re in the area, they have been established here since around 2003 and they gave the restaurant a full upgrade during the pandemic shutdown. The first thing that you will encounter is a lovely warm, welcome, and extensive menu, which, if I was to be a tiny bit picky, I would say needs to be slimmed down quite a bit. Our waiter was super helpful and friendly, he explained a number of the special dishes, so we made our selection, and as usual we overordered. Nonetheless, the food was good, I’ll give it a 4 out of 5 simply because, one or two of the dishes weren’t as fully flavoured as I was expecting. Parking: There is a council car park directly opposite, which is free after 6 pm."

"My parents have visited this restaurant multiple times and recommended it as a great place for my 30th birthday celebration! The food is amazing! The menu offers a wide variety of options and I had a hard time choosing because everything sounded delicious. I ended up ordering the Beef Croquettes with Wasabi Mayo for my starter and the beef rendang with rice for my main course. Both dishes were incredibly tasty and flavorful. I also tried the Bang Bang Cauliflower, which was also very delicious. The highlight of the meal was the apple crumble dessert, which was wonderfully sweet and sugary. While this restaurant is on the pricier side, the quality of the food makes it worth it. Thank you for making my birthday meal so special!"

"We ate here for new years eve Dec 2015, so it was a special set menu, for £60 per person. I was initially a bit apprehensive about the price, however once the food started arriving, the price was totally justified. The food was fantastic, from the canapés to dessert! Flavours, cooking of it, presentation. We were totally full by the end, and couldn't even manage the coffee and biscuits. The only thing I would suggest is where the door to the kitchen opens into the dining area, the light in the kitchen is extremely bright, compared to the low light level ambience, so the door constantly opening slightly ruins the romantic chilled out vibe trying to be a achieved. I would suggest a filter is put on the portal window of the door, so the kitchen light is softened when the door is closed. And also moving the tables directly opposite the door over to one side a bit, so they are not in full view of the light. Apart from this the service was wonderful , and our waitress very attentive and polite. The pub building itself is very lovely from outside and in, and all in all I would recommend a visit."

"The Eel's is back on form. After a few years of it not being what it was, it was so good to feel it back on fire. The bar staff are so friendly and the food is so good. The haddock and chips were so good that we failed to persuade our boy that a full on fish and chip shop would be better for dinner the next night. He was right. They've got an amazing new pudding of cookie dough in an individual pan with ice cream on top. As a bonus, there's a jug of chocolate sauce. All so good and it's so good to see a return to form."

"we were on a short break in woodbridge and this restaurant was opposite our apartment. the menu was so diverse and interesting, many new curries we had not tried before. the service was fast, staff was very friendly and helpful, but above all, eating was exceptional, really amazing, it is the best curry I ever had. we went back to the next night to try another dish than we enjoyed it so much. I'm so horrified that if I want to go again, it's an hour drive for me! I would like to return to woodbridge to visit the royal bengal again."

Although I thought it was overpriced, I would definitely recommend."

"that was the high quality of eating and service that I felt forced to come back to tripadvisor to write a short review (not something I do very often). the white horse in sibton was one of the best pub meals I had eaten in memory. it is not one of these pubs that fills their plate with food, but the portion sizes were exactly the right one for us, and the quality and presentation of each plate was excellent. I chose the maple glazed pigtail starter, spiced duck atn haupt, and apple-Bvarois and donut whisper all three were excellent and immaculate in their performance. a group of five of us sat from a beautiful wood burning stove and were served by very polite and attentive staff. the pub has a nice atmosphere. highly recommended. we are not local, but would eat definitiw again."

"The White Horse is a classic pub with a wide selection of drinks. We decided to give it a try while staying nearby. The service was friendly, and I ordered the steak pie with gravy, mashed vegetables. The pie and gravy were tasty, but there wasn't much meat in the pie. Unfortunately, the mashed potatoes were dense and seemed like they came from a packet. The vegetables were very crunchy, making them difficult to cut. My husband had the fish and chips, which was good. We both had a dessert, which was delicious and addictive. The pub gets very crowded, but overall it's a great place to visit."

"Fantastic Establishment. I drop in to the Queens Head just for a beer. So glad l did, what a breath of fresh air so different from the norm! Lovely welcome, one of the owners, the Landlady even helped me find a parking place and l recieved a really nice welcome. I was asked my name and when l got inside l was introduced to the an equally welcoming group of regulars. I have now returned 4 times and l am more than happy to become a regular. There are a number of local and National beers and ciders on offer. All are extremely well kept and served by helpful and welcoming team.. The Landlady certainly knows her beers and is so knowledgable and enthusiastic about local and National Beers and Ciders. The Queens Head is like the Tardis with various rooms all individually and tastefully furnished. There is also a large well kept Garden with plenty of tables. The food offering is also different from the Norm and offers the odd fish dishe, all nicely cooked and well presented. Price wise the Queens Head is certainly very competitive to anywhere local. I live Locally and have experience a number of local hostelrese. A couple of these are fine. However if l am honest, The Queens Head will take some beating. Such a great on going experience. Regular entertainment and food themed evening. From Friday 21st until Sunday 24 September 2023. With over 25 crafted Ciders and beers. Again local and national Breweris will be represented. Sorry about this lengthy review, but the Queens head certainly deserves it. Obviously you will need to visit to enjoy the experience. I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. Dennis"

"Usually have really good fish and chips here, but.... Closing time stated as 2.30. Arrived about 2.05pm, and was turned away as chef was 'closing '!! Hmm why say you shut at 2.30 when it 's really more like 2.07?! So we went to the other one Fish Dish, open all day, and very good! Turning people away because you 're closing earlier than stated, is unwelcoming and unprofessional! There are othet cafe/restaurants in Felixstowe!"

"We were greeted by a waitress who appeared disinterested and unfriendly based on her interaction and body language. I had to turn my body to talk to her during our first encounter. When my husband asked for Aspel Drift Cider, she informed us that they did not have any on tap, but when he went to the bar, he discovered that they did indeed sell it. The waiter who took our food order was wearing shorts, which we found to be unprofessional. Our food took an hour to arrive, and while it may have been freshly prepared, the Thyme Chicken in cream sauce that my daughter and I ordered seemed to have an excess of dried thyme. The roast potatoes were undercooked and pale, lacking a crispy surface, and the plate was mostly covered with a packet of frozen peas. We were disappointed with the overall experience, and although we did not speak up at the time, we do not plan to return to this restaurant. It's a pity, as going out to eat is a special occasion for us, and we hope that other establishments in the hospitality industry can understand and appreciate that."

"do not write a book on his cover. this remarkably simple looking pub is a center of excellence for pub food and pub atmosphere, with a warm welcome and an amazingly varied menu of well-cooked and well presented food (and excellent beer) the environment is traditional pub, but eating is better than that. I can't recommend this place enough. Please do not miss it if you are in the Framlingham area."
