The Mill Restaurant at The Mill Hotel

Cradle

➤ 40 North Street, CO10 1RD, Babergh, United Kingdom

Menu • Wine • Coffee • Ice Cream • Breakfast

---

"The restaurant offers a fixed menu for lunch with options including soup, a main course, and dessert. All of the dishes looked delicious, but I decided on the bubble and squeak with savoy cabbage, beet, Jerusalem artichoke puree, and celeriac crisps. The portion size was just right for a satisfying lunch. The coffee was also very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. I also purchased some pastries and croissants to enjoy later, and they look delicious. The dining space is limited, but the wait was worth it for the quality of the food."

"To the wonderful owner and staff at Strawberry Teapot, My story starts with a trip planned to this cafe with my mum for her birthday, and will hopefully help to reassure other wheelchair/powerchair reliant customers : Accessibility: The owner had a conversation with us to tell us about their accessibility (there is a step at the front of the store, but access to the outdoor seating behind the cafe without steps . I use a powerchair, which can't, unfortunately, be lifted up with the help of others, but other smaller wheelchairs will still be able to be lifted up past the step on the front door. Despite this powerchair hurdle, we sat outdoors, which was beautifully arranged with summer plants. Food Allergies/ Dietary requirements: My family is a mix of vegetarian, vegan, and meat eater people, which was no problem at all to the staff at the Strawberry Teapot! We had booked in for an afternoon tea and were served three separate food servings (a three tier cake stand per person , filled with sandwiches, cake, scones, and biscuits. These were delectable, and we were even allowed to take the cakes we didn't eat home with us (they were too good to leave behind! . Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful time and will not hesitate to book again. If I could, I would fetch fresh scones every weekend (they were THAT good . Thank you to all the staff there that helped to make the afternoon tea special, you are all wonderful people, and I have no doubt that you will make every other customer's experience just as wonderful. Couldn't recommend highly enough."

Long Melford Swan

➤ Hall Street, CO10 9DY, Babergh, United Kingdom

Menu • Steak • Seafood • British • Vegetarian

"As you’d expect in Long Melford this pub is a jumble of rooms, all pleasantly presented. The rear patio and garden offers sunny and shady spots. Dog friendly. The Swan seems to be leaning towards a wine bar, bistro vibe most noticeable in the menu, which was sorely lacking in lighter options at lunchtime. Not a sandwich in sight and the only real contender, a chicken Caesar salad, was off. I’m not a fussy eater but struggled, eventually opting for a pleasant but unremarkable gazpacho. My wife went for a more substantial tuna dish which was very good. Presented with new potatoes, boiled egg and a mound of olives it was pleasant but too much for a light lunch. Service was friendly and smooth. Go there if you have a hearty appetite but there are plenty of alternatives nearby."

David's Of Sudbury

➤ 51 Gainsborough St, Sudbury, United Kingdom

Menu • Delis • Mexican • European • Fast Food

"Came in for tea and coffee, and ordered two glasses of water. Since the water came in a very small jug, we soon asked for a refill to which we were told that we can’t just order water by an elderly lady and heavy eyeshadow. That same lady came up to our table with the water and started explaining that it’s wrong of us to only order the water (although we also ordered tea and coffee) and told us she will have to charge us for the water and the ice we did not at any point specify that we wanted tap water, so we were prepared to pay for it anyway. It was extremely embarrassing, as others were around. Perhaps our foreign accents have had something to do with it, either way it has left us very uncomfortable and upset at the condescending way we have been spoken to. All other staff were extremely lovely and polite, and even apologised for the altercation of the elderly woman."

Ballingdon Valley Indian Cuisine

➤ 57 Ballingdon Street, Babergh, United Kingdom

Menu • Wine • Indian • Seafood • Chicken

"We arrived here by chance as we'd stayed in Sudbury previously and most of the pubs finish serving food early. On entering the premises, we were greeted by a happy smile. I explained that we didn't have a reservation and we were taken to a seat while the bookings were checked. I think the manager must have had a little bit of a sense of humour, as we were shown to a table, where he told us that due to the weather, (this was storm Babet), the restaurant had had 54 reservations cancelled, so there was plenty of room for us. We decided on what to order over a drink and waited with anticipation for our meal as we hadn't had an Indian meal from a restaurant for around six weeks and were looking forward to it. We ordered a vindaloo and a jalfreisi after our starters and we both agreed, it was one of the best curries we'd had in a long long time. We were informed by the manager that the previous Sunday, they had been awarded curry house of the year, which we had no idea about, but agreed, it came as no surprise. We would highly recommend the food here, it looks as though they pride themselves on their cleanliness as the tables are pristine, plates and cutlery spotless and decor contemporary. Staff were perfect hosts and we'll definitely be back to visit again in the future. Thank you very much for our meal."
