"We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious and hearty roast dinners we had at this restaurant. All four of us were impressed by both the food and the cocktails. The restaurant has a charming ambiance. The only minor downside was that the service could be somewhat impersonal and slow at times. Nevertheless, overall we had a fantastic meal."

"The menu was unique with items like grilled octopus, vegetable skewers, marinated artichoke hearts, and grilled oyster mushrooms. The building is definitely a British pub, but the food choices were not typical pub food. Wine list was small but adequate. My partner found a good local IPA on the beer list. Staff was attentive and cordial. Small outdoor dining area. Highly recommend"

"We were in town for a conference and bagged on the plenaryreception to have a real dinner. This was close and got great reviews. First of all, the positive reviews already on this site are correct: it is a splendid little restaurant, with a creative menu and a very fine wine list. Because we had food that was a bit challenging to pick wines for my wife had the smoked duck and schnitzel, while I had the rabbit terrine and a schnitzel with saffroned risotto; we were at loggerheads about whether to get a red or a white, with me thinking that a sturdy north Italian white would be the better bet, we consulted the staff who served up a very fine Dolcetto, which worked very well.We arrived at early for Italy, and by the time our mains arrived, all the tables were filled. The noise level was OK and we could maintain a nice conversation without needing to raise our voices.The staff was very kind and considerate, but they appeared to be a bit shortstaffed for the Friday night crowd. The wine recommendation came minutes after our request for a consult. And my Borolobased dessert wine with bitters, yum! didn't arrive with dessert. In fact, I asked after it and it still did not arrive. Only when our staff was tallying up our bill was the mistake realized and they rushed the glass out to me. I'm glad they did. I think part of the problem is that a back waiter took the dessert order and it appears to have slid sideways. My Italian is virtually nonexistant although his English was a bit better. One can't really complain when dining on someone else's turf. The only real fault is that the staff was a bit frantic although very goodnatured.Excellent dinner"

"A comfortable manor house, set in attractively laid out gardens. The estate is surrounded with open fields. There is ample parking and places to sit outside. The food is good, but not outstanding. We had a pleasant 3-course lunch with soft drinks for £40 per person."

"At the upstairs restaurant was completely empty except for us. No one else arrived until we were finishing our meal, and that, too, was just one table. I ordered the artichoke appetizer, which turned out to actually just be poorlymarinated artichoke and iceberg lettuce, and the halibut, which was acceptable, and some reasonably edible grilled vegetables. My husband ordered a pasta dish, and observed that it was similar to army dinners, and commented that he’d’ve been better off with a box of spaghetti and jar of sauce from the grocery store. Also, the appetizer was brought out at the same time as the main courses, crowding the small table, which was already crowded with assorted superfluous drinking glasses. The wrong wine was brought... like, very wrong. Merlot instead of a white Burgundy. I’m not sure that our server could have handled more than one table at a time, but that’s ok because, apparently, that’s all they book. The space itself is pretty. Everyone is polite.We won’t be back"

"Beautiful bar and great potential. However, bar staff were missing for 15 minutes to order a drink this was sitting in front of our restaurant 7:30. The restaurant has no ambience at all, the food is absolutely tiny and I ordered a takeaway when I came home. Quality is okay, but prices are crazy. Paid £98 for two courses and two drinks. My partner wanted a cocktail, asked for menu and they had no one. The waiter rolled out of a small list and they explained they were in a pitcher only, who ordered pitchers when leaving for a romantic meal? It was very obvious that the waiting staff also had no experience, and no one seemed to help them. I eat in a lot of good quality restaurants both cheap and expensive and it doesn't matter to pay for quality, but I'm worried when the quality is bad and the price is massively crowded. Unfortunately, we will never bring back great potential. Address the restaurant appearance ambience, poorly trained waiting staff, price, cocktail drinks menu and you will do very safe! We were offered 20% of the bill, based on a complaint to the waitress who was a nice gesture. This price was better suited, but I still keep it expensive."

"This was one of several opportunities I had to dine at the Lion at Leavenheath while over from Australia visiting family. I highly recommend it for excellent food, attentive service and friendly and cosy atmosphere. I am vegan and the choice was extensive and delicious. Took several lots of friends and family over the time I was staying and they all had a great meal and loved the beautiful dining room. This is the kind of place you could have a romantic dinner, a fun lunch with friends or a formal celebratory evening. I look forward to my next visit."

"Yuzu seems to have resolved their timing issue. We have ordered from them 3-4 times since then and have received our food in a timely manner, especially when ordering."

"I booked the Star Inn for my husbands 50th birthday on a Sunday evening. We didn't realise that the menu was more limited on a Sunday so when my husband said he fancied the surf n turf but it wasn't on the menu, he was disappointed. He mentioned this to the waiter who instantly went and asked the chef if he could do it. The answer was Yes, so that made Hub very happy The service and food was amazing. Thank you to all the staff for making it such a lovely dining experience!!"
