The Swan Inn at Stratford St Mary in Babergh

A wonderful find! I've had a fabulous dinner this evening at this quintessentially English inn. Simon behind the bar was wonderful making suggestions and recommendations. Wonderful kitchen team whose food was fantastic, well priced, fresh, totally scrumptious and served with a smile. I had a great evening - the Swan Inn is most definitely worth a visit; very attentive, caring and knowledgeable staff, wonderful cosy indoor space, glorious garden outside - my advice save room for dessert!

Another brilliant gem in the area and another amazing pub out of town. Beer, wine and spirit selection is first class. Great seating outside in the summer, warm and cozy in the small front bar by the fire during the winter. I hear good things about the food but haven't eaten here myself yet

Delightful country pub that pays attention to the beers on offer as much as it does the wines. Ever changing daily menu, Sunday roasts to absolutely die for. Welcoming environment and staff, pleasantly decorated and well worth a visit.

One of the most lovely pubs in the area and I definitely recommend visiting. It has amazing food and the kindest service that we’re willing to make special arrangements for a vegan in our party.

We started from here to canoe on the River Stour for a Santa Paddle. It was a reasonably large group and the pub opened early to accommodate us, which was very much appreciated on a cold December morning. A lovely fire was a lite in the bar area. On offer were some rather delicious sausage rolls, hot chocolate and coffee. The staff were cheerful and friendly. We will be going back for a meal soon.

Amazing food (we had one of the best roast beef dinners I have had in a while) and lovely relaxing atmosphere. Staff were friendly (made our 2 and 4 gear old welcome) and offered flexible menu choices for them. The dessert was overcooked a little and they were very apologetic about this and gave us another one swiftly. Will definitely be returning. Thankyou.

Really nice little pub in the country, friendly staff and great selection of beers and gin.

Awesome little pub with top quality food and beer to match.

Nothing short of amazing. Beer, food, staff, locals, all top drawer.

Pretty old pub serving tasty treats (vegetarian options almost tempted me away from a Sunday roast) as well as excellent versions of traditional dishes (by far the best roast beef I’ve had in ages!). Friendly, helpful service from owner and staff to boot. Highly recommended.
