Not been to this pub before but passed it and thought it was worth a visit, so glad that we decided to try it out. The pub is clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. We decided to stay for a Sunday roast and wasn't disappointed. The food was lovely. There was plenty of it and it was delicious. The restaurant wasn't too busy so made for nice dining and they was playing good background music which added to the atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We had no complaints, thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we will be back.

Beautiful pub , amazing choice of food at very reasonable prices and extremely helpful and polite staff . Highly recommended and well worth a visit . Rare to find a pub like this in Suffolk .

We came hoping for traditional pub food but we're sadly disappointed. It said on the menu the food was cooked from fresh but it wasn't. Watery gravy, frozen chips, dry steak in a pie and lumpy mashed potato. The pub was dog friendly but then we were asked to put our dog under the table....not so friendly. The best bit was prepacked salad! However the waiting staff were friendly and the beer was good.

The best food comes from home, wherever it is. That's something I've always stood by. Now my home is not the Wortwell Bell, but... tonight, it might as well have been because that's exactly how we were made to feel.In my head, there is a template of exactly how a pub should look and should operate - psychologists might call this a 'schema'. In a couple of days I have to go back to East London and to the multitude of 'pubs' with their fake business models catering to the multitude of hipsters with ridiculous facial hair who drink therein. But tonight, I went to a real pub.A skilfully prepared starter of deep-fried breaded Somerset brie with cranberry sauce was simply on point, and served at the perfect temperature - a crunchy exterior with a gooey, magma-like viscera that didn't burn the skin off my mouth, but definitely left me wanting more. Then a braised lamb shank which transported me back to my childhood, and to my grandmother's kitchen. Succulent and tender meat suspended between flavourful folds of fat which told me the very lamb's life story. Glorious red wine gravy with the red wine flavour not overpowering, but definitely present. Rounded off with a strawberry meringue dessert to die for.The real pub is still alive and very much kicking. You might not find it in East London. In fact, you'll have to be prepared to travel for it a bit, but... if you're looking for the traditional country pub experience that ticks all the boxes, this is it.

Visited today for a quick drink. Good choice of drinks for adults and kids. Loved the outside seating. The menu looked good for food with a good range of roasts for a Sunday.

We stayed half an hour away and found this little gem en route. Bar staff were really pleasant, food was really good and pub felt really clean, spacious and well decorated. Would definitely recommend.
