We were unhappy at having to wait an hour for our meals last night and received a public dressing down from the chef when we said so. Readers may be pleased to know that food is cooked from scratch but this is not made clear...anywhere on the menu or by the waitress when ordering. This place describes itself as a pub, not a fine-dining restaurant. Being publicly humiliated spoiled our experience of the food and we won't be going there again.More
Our Christmas Eve Swedish Smorgasbord dinner at the De La Pole was brilliant start to our Christmas weekend. After an amazing variety of pickled herrings, prawns, red cabbage, pate, and breads for starters we had a choice of roasted ham, meatballs, mashed potatoes and cranberry...stuffing. The choice of cakes and cheese for desert rounded off a fabulous evening meal. Great food, nice atmosphere and very good value. Highly recommended.More
We had Sunday lunch here today. It is the first time in years that I have found rare beef at a carvery. 😋 Delicious. We also walked around the area first to build up an appetite.

This is the best carvery we have ever had. Having not eaten meat for a long time, I wanted to try it because it looked amazing but I wasn’t sure if I could actually eat it. Frankie patiently encouraged me to try the sirloin beef...joint, serving both well done and rarer slices of beef and a serving of pork to try. It’s was absolutely perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so, that Frankie brought me some more sirloin beef to our table! Frankie has converted my vegetarian inclinations and meat is back on!! Thank you. Definitely recommend the service and quality of food here.More
Fabulous food and wonderful atmosphere. Enjoyed our first post lockdown Sunday carvery at the De La Pole yesterday. Brilliant in all aspects.
We’ve enjoyed fabulous take-away fresh fish and chips twice now. Our food was waiting for us at our agreed collection time and the cleaning and distancing measures in place give confidence in these difficult times. Very pleased to support a local business and landmark that...we will need once this Coved nightmare is over.More
The best Sunday carvery we have ever had. The two joints had been cooked to perfection with both beef & pork being succulent, juicy & tasty with a very generous helping. The pork crackling was crunchy and very moreish. A good range of help yourself...vegetables were also well cooked and presented. We shared a starter of whitebait and finished with a devine pudding. The young waitresses did an admirable job of looking after us. To sum it up this meal was so good that we have booked again and taking four of our friends to show ut off.More
We first visited for the Sunday Carvery, we were so impressed we came back with some family for another carvery a few weeks later. Again much impressed with all of the food, the service and the ales we returned again with some friends for a...weekday lunch. The special chicken dish was superb, the cheese and potato pie excellent (what lovely pastry!) and the traditional puddings great. What a find, just a pity it is not a little more local to us.More
The owners of this pub really know their Food and their attitude to service is truly exemplary. We choose this place for my partner's special bitrhday and they did us a meal for 12 which was outstading--Roast Beef, Vegetables, Salmon Starter plus a great cheese...Boartd and super sweets. Great room, lovely family service--we had a marvellous time facilitated by Frankie and his fantastic familyMore
Excellent carvery here on Sunday with delicious cauliflower cheese and perfectly cooked meats Pub had the lovely open fire alight and the wood burner . It was busy with a lovely atmosphere . Staff pleasant and attentive .
Go and enjoy the best fish and chips locally to us near Stradbroke in Suffolk and the Sunday carvery is excellent too
Great family Sunday lunch out.. friendly staff, spacious restaurant and good food, lovely and quiet and a nice outside seating area too.
This does good pub food, nothing exceptional but well done and good value. The carvery was very popular with locals and walkers. Nice building and good setting
Visited this excellent pub on the afternoon of a friend’s daughter’s wedding. As I was the DJ, I’d spent the morning setting up just down the road and as it happened the pub had been festooned with 100 plus of our wedding guests taking the...opportunity of a quick sharpener before the ceremony, the church being directly opposite. My able assistant Matt & I arrived, starving after a morning’s graft, just after the guests had left so there was some trepidation as to whether they were still serving/ run out food etc ( this being Suffolk where #12 till 2 syndrome which sadly afflicts many a fine establishment in those parts ).... the place was still very busy with the usual superannuated cyclists, ramblers etc... the Landlady could not have been more welcoming despite her & her staff being run off their feet... she gave us a menu & asked us to find us a seat and someone would be with us as soon as they could... well they had a lovely menu : all very fresh, local & homemade & true to her word we had our order taken within 10 minutes. I had dressed crab which was sublime. Matt had scampi & chips. Having worked in many ( & indeed owned a few) bars & pubs I was most impressed and can strongly recommend a visit.More
