* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

A fifteenth century inn overlooking the local green that’s ably helmed by the Chestnut Group, who run a series of characterful boozers across East Anglia; it’s praised for a “well-balanced menu” (steaks, fish, veggie options like risotto) and its handy location for visiting local stately homes, with NT property Melford Hall just a five-minute walk away.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
