"We arrived at the restaurant without a reservation but were able to be seated. We found the food to be of higher quality compared to Pizza Express, which we used as a benchmark. The boys enjoyed their squid starter, while I always love the tomato brushetta. We also ordered mixed olives, which came in a tasty garlic herb dressing. For our main courses, the boys had a chicken burger and pepperoni pizza, both of which were generous portions. I opted for the pumpkin, ricotta, and crispy sage leaves ravioli, which was handmade and absolutely delicious. However, I wish the portion size had been larger or that it could have been offered as a starter for a lower price. The dish reminded me of a similar one at Watson and Walpole in Framlingham, but was much more affordable. We all ordered cokes, which were served with ice and lemon. The only thing missing was the chili oil that we used to find on the tables, which the boys requested for their pizza. We decided to skip dessert as we found the prices to be a bit high for the portion sizes, especially without a voucher and on a Saturday when there was no set menu offered. The service was decent, although one of the waitresses was quite loud when shouting orders across the restaurant, making the atmosphere a bit less relaxing. Instead, we opted to enjoy pastries, cakes, and coffee at H&H Honey and Harvey in Woodbridge, where I highly recommend the almond croissant."

"I booked afternoon tea for as a gift for my mum for mother’s day. We arrived slightly early but the restaurant wasn’t busy so we were seated. The host who took us to the table did not tell us anything, just sat us down. We waited for about mins for a waitress to ask if we wanted water. We were then asked by separate members of staff if we had any dietary requirements. We then waited another minutes and another waitress came to take our order without us having received any menus. We ordered, we were told we could have tea, champagne or a cocktail. We waited, our drinks took another minutes to arrive, and came in separate parts. We were then told our menus were being printed, which seemed bizarre having ordered and being sat there so long. When the menus arrived it transpired you were able to order from a selection of teas, coffees and various cocktails. It also showed the dishes. There were a couple of things my dad didn’t like, which we asked to swap. I was told that maybe this would be ok, if we were quick, as the order had been rung through. It was at this point I reminded the waitress that we had been expected to order off a nonexistent menu, so what did they expect? The food came, it was ok but nothing special. The service was just terrible. There seemed to be no communication between the staff, no desire to make us feel welcome and no attention to detail. For something which was meant to be a treat, I was very disappointed and would not waste my money going again"

"our last group visited this year, and the chef and andy and his team have looked after us exceptionally well, and we promised that we would return. we wish we hadn't booked on andys day. first our server has managed our needs very well with pre-lunch drinks, but then everything fell apart when our group of 10 was shown on our table. it was 20 minutes for our wein and half an hour for our easy lunch order to deliver to our table and what a disappointment it was. two main courses 18 were miniskule. a tomatensalat consisted of 3 discs with a dressing, and the mushroom dish was similar size and eaten in three mouthfuls. all the other courses were in many respects inadequate from size or instruction. commentary about the table were very negatiw, and there was a comment that we should ask the nearby chippy if they would deliver! complain about the size of the portions (that we have erroneous starter sections, were made to our server that introduced someone we had assumed was his manager (beard/pongtail) who did not seem excessively affected. he could only comment on the finest local ingredients and did not seem inclined, or have the autority to adjust the bill of main to starter price for the chosen courses. instead of following the point, we have made our dissatisfaction known and paid and abandoned. as a group we meet for lunch two months and our expenses annually are 2,5k with much more spent on family and friends. it will be spent elsewhere"
