Amazing food! The burgers were cooked to perfection and the onion marmalade with Brie was a great topping! For dessert I had the sticky toffee pudding, which was a must at this time of year. This dessert went above and beyond my expectations; I am...confident that this is the best sticky toffee pudding in Suffolk! This restaurant/pub is very dog friendly as ours was treated just like any other customer. I love that the staff asked if it was okay to bring him treats over too, to which we said yes! Basil definitely wants to go back ASAP. The atmosphere here was so friendly and peaceful. We felt very relaxed and at ease. A final shout out to the staff who were attentive, polite and friendly. Also, we would like to thank the chef(s) for their immaculate food. We’ll definitely be popping back before our staycation ends!More

We were staying nearby and, after stopping in for a drink, booked a family dinner for the following day. The measures in place to prevent Covid-19 were well organised and we were welcomed and shown to our table by Carol. The food was excellent and...the service from Cara was friendly without being intrusive. Cara had overheard that it was my daughter's birthday and so her cheesecake dessert arrived with a celebratory message! Our only disappointment was that when we decided to return later in the week, the pub was closed as Andy and Carol were taking taking a few days holiday. However, we'll be back next time we are in the area.More

Staying in Friston we were eager to try the local pub and we were not disappointed. The food was high quality and service was excellent with all the staff eager to please. Would recommend the sea bass plus their tasty fish and chips. Felt relaxed...and safe as high standards of covid precautions were in place making our numerous visits very enjoyable. If only you could be our local at home!!More

We have been to this pub quite a few times previously and we never fail to feel welcomed, the owners are always so friendly and the waiting staff really enjoyed having a chat with the children which was so nice for the kids. The new...COVID measures put in place make you feel very confident and safe. The adult meals were all lovely (fish and burgers) the portions were perfect too, even managing to fill up my always hungry teenager! The only thing that sadly lets the pub down are the children meals. This occasion we ordered the margarita pizza (£7/8) when it arrived it was very clearly a bog standard value frozen pizza that had been whacked in the oven (we can all recognise those from the endless kids parties, right?!) my child really wasn’t keen (and we couldn’t blame them!) so we shared our dinners instead. They could easily make the children’s menu something to look forward to and still make a profit eg. The locally sourced free range pork is literally on their doorstep, some sausages & mash, or spag Bol, homemade fish fingers or a small version of the adults burgers would be absolutely perfect, and I promise it will pay off as parents would choose to go there more often.More

What a fabulous restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble. There was an issue with the booking and Carol accommodated us straight away - obviously blaming her husband for the mistake!! The food was delicious, the waiting staff were attentive and had constant smiles on their...faces-under their masks! Highly recommend that you try this restaurant. Toilets spotless and hygiene was paramount. Portions were very generous. Steaks good, fish and chips superb, burger huge and some interesting ‘specials’.More

Always go here when visiting the area. Owners are so welcoming and friendly. Reassured by the good covid measures in they have put in place. Did not eat this time but food has been very good in the past. Highly recommended.More

We were having a short break in nearby Thorepness and booked a meal here by telephone before leaving home in Nottinghamshire., after looking at online reviews, menu etc. Very much enjoyed the whole experience from being met at the door and looked after in these...difficult times. The restaurant is spacious, airy and relaxing. The landlord and all his staff are very friendly and efficient, food was served fast and was all delicious. We shall definitely return when next in the area. p.s. we hope the landlady and the dog are recovering following a very unhappy incident earlier in the dayMore
