THE POACHERS POCKET
Rosemary Lane, Carlton, SaxmundhamWe had a wonderful family meal here to celebrate a very special 95th birthday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
From the moment we started organising the event, the staff were absolutely fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were incredibly accommodating, helpful and responsive throughout the whole process, which made arranging everything so much easier and stress-free.
On the day itself, the service was excellent. We had a private room (we had 20+ guests), which was perfect for our family celebration, and the staff regularly checked in on us to make sure everything was okay without ever being intrusive. The food was delicious, served hot and right on time, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal.
A huge thank you to the whole team for helping make such a special occasion run so smoothly. Your kindness, professionalism and attention to detail really made a difference, and we are so grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this pub for family celebrations and would happily return again!

The Rendham White Horse
Bruisyard Rd, Rendham, SaxmundhamThe service provided by Sharon at front of house was exceptional. You’d expect on a Saturday of a bank holiday weekend there be some waiting, especially as Sharon is out there on her own, but that was never the case. This was also helped at how efficient Andrew was as Chef, the food was deliciously homemade.
The prices were very reasonable in today’s world. You hardly see a steak meal below £20 anymore, so seeing theirs for £17 was impressive!
They cater perfectly if you have dogs too (providing a blanket, water bowl and plenty of treats and attention), all because they’re loving dog owners for Luna, who even has her own Pilsner named after her! That was delicious also.
Would highly recommend this place, you’ll not be disappointed!

The Fox Inn
The Street, Darsham, SaxmundhamAfter several lovely meals at the fox we have to leave a review! The food is fantastic here, but more than that the service and atmosphere is just so friendly, not always a given these days. A real gem.

The Sweffling White Horse alehouse (no food)
Low Rd, Sweffling, SaxmundhamThe best sausage rolls ive EVER eaten, warmest of staff, great ales and a pub like it used to be. A glimmer of hope in an ever changing distopian world. If you drive past and don't stop for a drink that's your loss, and what a loss.

The Westleton Crown
The Street, Westleton, SaxmundhamRoom was very small (I knew this when booking). Only complaint was that a neighbour has a windchime in their garden and it kept me awake for the both nights I was there.

The Yurt at Potton Hall
Potton Hall, Blythburgh Rd, Westleton, Saxmundhamwe came from the coast and where looking for a place to have breakfast... what we found was an oasis for the body, the mind and the soul! run by Priscilla, a natural talent in making us instantly feel welcome and taken care of... we ended up staying several hours, taking a long walk through the nearby forest, having brunch, talking and enjoying the overall awesome atmosphere of that space...
wouldn't we have to return to the continent tonight, we would have stayed there for another week! But... we for sure will return!
and i suggest you do aswell ;-) if you are looking for a great space to relax, enjoy tasty organic food with friends or family, or you are looking for a location for your wedding, check this space out (on the web or even better in person)... you will love it!

Tipi Café
Tunstall, SaxmundhamWalked from Aldeburgh to the Tipi café, first time we have been to the maltings. Staff were great at the tip café, the coffee was over priced for what it was, but in reality you are not really paying over the odds for the coffee, you're paying for the respite in wonderful location with a lovely ambience. I shall be returning in a couple of days time, so happy days. Now for my walk back!

Waitrose Cafe Saxmundham
Church Hill, SaxmundhamA quick shop at my local Waitrose supermarket only to try the new automated checkout system where you pretend to be a checkout assistant and scan your own items one by one, supervised by a Waitrose partner! However, would not accept my google wallet payment on my smart phone. After 10 minutes with the supervisor struggling to get the payment authorised, we both gave up. Not the service we expect from a prestigious supermarket. You can understand why they have a sign by these machines stating all customers will be prosecuted for not paying for their purchases. What a cheek when their machines aren't able to cope with the modern payment methods, why should the customer feel responsible.
Get your act together Waitrose, you're not a dinosaur. Or are you!

The Ship at Dunwich
Saint James's Street, Dunwich, SaxmundhamWe visited as a group of 6 for dinner and were not disappointed. The food was excellent and everyone enjoyed their meal. I have left this review as often people only ever use them as a way to complain which can sometimes create an unbalanced picture.

Queens Head
21 High Street, SaxmundhamChinese food here is great. We got a take away with a lots of dishes. The standouts for us were The sweet n sour prawn balls, they were amazing, they’re not too bready. The Satay sauce is proper tasty. I use to live in Hong Kong and it’s very difficult to find proper special fried rice in this country, it’s normally dark and soaked in soy sauce and it shouldn’t be. This place does it right. YUM!

Mandarin House
47 High St, SaxmundhamWas recommended by a local and was very impressed. Food was fresh and hot, with a very generous amount of meat in each dish. All the dishes I had were so flavourful, I especially enjoyed their salt and pepper dishes. I was so surprised by how much food we were able to get for the amount we paid, it is definitely the cheapest Chinese around.

Costa Coffee Saxmundham
Church Street, SaxmundhamI have visited many Costa outlets around the country.
Today I visited Costa in Saxmundham Suffolk and I was served by Emma.
I can honestly say she made the best hot chocolate I have had in any other Costa.
Thanks Emma a real credit to Costa.
