"Stopped off here last Sunday 3rd November after asking locals for a good pub for Sunday lunch. It did not disappoint. Dennis and his son run the Inn and it's very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. There was a choice of beef, beef pork or local chicken for Sunday lunch. We tried the beef, it was excellent. Served with mashed roast potatoes, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, peas and runner beans, all freshly cooked. The Yorkshire Pudding had a lovely bit of stuffing and sweet roast turnip in it, nice touch. Gravy horseradish sauce too, all for £10 or about £6 for kids. A nice selection of puddings and ales too. A bar drink, Sunday lunch main, pudding and a coffee is great value at around £20 per head, even more so considering it's fresh. I'm told the produce is local as much as possible. There is a weekday menu (not served on Sundays) and it had a wide variety of pub favourites. Dennis the landlord was very hospitable and has from conversation spent many years making this a welcoming pub for food, functions such as weddings and it has a lovely enclosed garden which is safe for children and has lots of toys. They've made a lovely extension with lantern roof windows for dining in the winter and the interior has been tastefully redecorated throughout. The pub was warm and cosy on a winter's day and not at all crowded. I was on a rare visit to Suffolk and this was one of those lovely rare finds of a pub to stumble upon. Stop for Sunday lunch, you won't be disappointed."

We stopped by for a couple of pints and were impressed by the excellently maintained beer at this pub. The owner, Shaun, was very welcoming and the establishment was clean and well-maintained.

We originally stopped by this pub to watch football on Sunday afternoon, but ended up staying for the roast dinner. I am really glad we did because it was delicious - big, fresh, and homemade! View menu

I love going to our neighborhood pub for the most delicious fish and chips around. I try to go every weekend to savor the great food and atmosphere. Dennis and Shaun always go above and beyond to take care of you, and a big thanks to Roger in the kitchen as well.

We enjoy visiting the Rose and Crown on a regular basis for their wonderful fish and chips. It's always fantastic. The fish is enormous with really light and crispy batter and lovely non greasy chips, all served in a very friendly atmosphere. It's a limited menu but what they do is done very, very well. We'll be back again soon!

I had asked Shaun the landlord if he would be able to provide a BBQ and buffet for some of my family members so we could get together and celebrate the birth of my ninth grandchild who arrived on fathers day. Shaun, his sister Sophie and brother Ross were all instrumental in ensuring this event was a plesant experience and I must not forget the bar staff who coped extremely well despite the wrath of a prior event. A wonderful spread of food awaited us, this was not just what i had hoped for, this was much more than that with food spare. I could not have dreamed of such a banquet, fit for meat eaters, vegetarian, vegan and celiac alike, all explained so there was no cross contamination for an...

"I hope we were just unlucky, and I feel sad writing this, but it wasn't the best experience this weekend. We stayed overnight and had the tasting menu. The Creppy family are departed a while now, and the staff such as Henri that stayed on are long gone, they set unbelievably high standards which were always going to be hard to meet. We loved the room we stayed in, but the rest of the experience was a bit awkward. I feel sorry for them as it was super hot and it must be difficult to get staff at the moment, but when you have paid £500 for one night and food inc wine then things can be a bit disappointing. From the start we could tell that they were under the cosh, the manager was sick, and we were told repeatedly how busy they were tonight. We asked to eat 30 mins later than booked which they said would help. We ordered a half bottle of champagne but had to wait about 15 minutes as the fridge was broken at it would not be cold. It arrived and wasn't cold enough really, then after 10 minutes in the ice bucket it was. Simultaneously other guests were told the coffee machine was also broken. A bit of a shame as we were celebrating a birthday and it sort of spoiled the moment waiting for a drink. Then ordered a 2014 Pomerol which to be honest I found really rather average, but that is the luck of the draw. The food was quite good, but only one course impressed us, the trout was good. The staff seem very downbeat to the point of it being awkward, one told us and another table to make as much mess as we like as it was her last shift. Others seemed very awkward and lacking confidence/a smile. Again, hard to get quality staff at the moment, but there seemed to be a lack of pride/confidence in what is being delivered. I also asked for cheese to finish off, in the past they had a glorious cheese cart with a huge selection of great cheeses. I accept maybe it was too hot for this, but I was simply given a plate of three cheeses, no one asked me if I would like to choose anything or for example do I like blue cheese. Then when it was delivered my wife tried one of them, liked it so asked what it was, and they didn't know what the cheese was which is probably not what they aspire to. makes me sad as the cheese at the Great House is stuff of legend. More minor stuff: Breakfast wise the coffee in the percolator was way too strong even for someone who likes strong coffee, a tiny shot of milk was not enough so we asked for more, would have been nice to be offered hot milk to make Cafe Au Lait etc. Also another minor point, the soap and shower gels were quite horrible, they stick to you and don't wash off, not something I'm usually bothered about, but the half empty containers looked like they had be refilled with something not very nice, or it was just never very good. When we checked out I think the manager may have been back, he did not ask us once how our stay had been so we had no real chance to say anything. We tried to be understanding and of course being British nothing was really a problem for us, but when you've spent £500 for a birthday it was all a bit disappointing and not nearly up to par. I sympathise that it might have been a difficult night, but to be honest it would have come off better if I hadn't been reminded every few minutes that they were so busy and everything going wrong. I'm not even sure that they were that busy, the terrace was out of bounds and the restaurant was 3/4 full. Matters were drawn in to focus the next day when we went to the Weavers Spa, and also for lunch at the Crown in Stoke by Nayland, staff were cheerful, helpful and great at both of these local places. Sorry for writing this negative review which I feel sad to have written about a place we used to love. Rooms: 4 Service: 2 Location: 4"
