"The Sunday roast at this restaurant was disappointing. We had to wait over 30 minutes past our reservation time and the restaurant was very busy. The staff was lovely and apologetic, offering us a complimentary drink. However, when we finally received our meals, they were not worth the wait. The meat was okay, the vegetables were undercooked, and the roast potatoes were not crispy and hard to cut. The entire meal was cold. Despite the issues, we decided not to complain as we didn't want to wait longer and didn't think they could improve it without recooking everything. The staff seemed overworked and tried their best, but it's not worth it to have offers if the restaurant is overbooked and can't provide a decent meal. We won't be returning for the Sunday roast and will opt for the Wilford Bridge instead, as it offers a much better experience."

Outstanding food. Each course was excellent. We had a mix of starters between 4 of us, then two of us had the duck, one the beef wellington and one the salmon. For dessert two had the cheesecake, one the sticky toffee pudding and one the crumble with ice cream. Wine was also good. View menu

I always enjoy dining at one of the Deben inns, The Fox, when visiting my friend near Ipswich. The food is creative, well-cooked, and beautifully presented. The staff is friendly, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. They also have a great selection of real ales on tap.

Went on Sunday, the pub was extremly busy but the staff where very friendly and helpful. I had not been able to book as full up so got a table outside. Told there was a long wait for food but it arrived much quicker than expected and was delicious. First time eating there. I will definitely go again. Well done the Fox.

I popped into The Fox for a quick meal on 13/11/23. I was greeted warmly by Tim, the friendly manager, who also took my order. I always enjoy dining at The Fox because everyone there is so welcoming and pleasant. I opted for the Cajun chicken and salad (without the chips that normally come with the meal) and found it to be delicious and satisfying. Thank you, Tim! View menu

Sunday Roast?? Decor and staff pleasant. The Yorkshire pudding was fine. Beef tough, pork very fatty, turkey ok. But vegetables were cold and uncooked. The potatoes as mentioned on another review appeared to be frozen type that had been quickly dipped in deep fat fryer. Impossible to cut into with knife, but when eventually pulled apart were cold and hard. Inedible. Would not return.

"This wasn’t our first visit (the previous occasion was more positive than this) but this was really quite poor. Problem after problem, service was poor and just not very welcoming. Firstly, drinks weren’t available issues with draft, but then bottles weren’t available either. So there was a very limited selection of drinks on offer and the staff weren’t proactive in advising what was available. So it was request and receive a no! Secondly, the food was poor. The starters were shocking. Really quite bad. There was a bit of redemption from some of the mains, but we elected to not proceed with anything else as it wasn’t great. We had to wait ages for drinks and foods to arrive despite the fact that the restaurant was practically empty and many staff present. Frequently there were 3 staff at the back of the room standing about chatting, but they weren’t attentive to our needs. They didn’t check around the room to see if guests required additional drinks or require plates clearing. They didn’t check to see how the food was and when we complained regarding a starter they simply didn’t know how to handle it. When the draft beer came back on there was no proactive behaviour in returning to the table and letting us know so that more drinks could be ordered. Drinks were poured in wrong glasses, plates were cleared whilst people were still eating and then not cleared when they needed to be! Simply put the staff working had no idea on what table service should be perhaps they had received no training which is a major failing when the restaurant is part of a hotel. It was not welcoming. The restaurant was freezing cold. The service was really very poor and the food disappointing. They also don’t take dogs which in Aldeburgh is a bit weird. There is plenty of space and the tables are large so they would not be in the way. We won’t be returning."
