Another wonderful meal at The punch Bowl, honestly one of the best Sunday lunches in Suffolk! From the welcome to the goodbye absolutely faultless!Staff are so friendly and atmosphere is warm and homely! Thank you for a lovely afternoon

Despite having lived in the area for nearly fourteen years we had never been to the Punch Bowl. What a mistake!!Went for Saturday lunch. Lovely friendly welcome. The food was fantastic. My wife had rib-eye steak, cooked perfectly with a stilton sauce which she loved. I had sausage and mash but not any old sausage and mash but the best sausage and mash I've tasted for a very long time. Really enjoyed and highly recommended.

We visited on Thursday evening. It was Burger night. We were made really welcome on arrival and nothing was too much trouble. The burgers were delicious (the beef burgers tasted homemade) and the chips were lovely. The puddings were really good too. We would definitely come back here, we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. Also a good deal at £12 for a burger with chips and salad, and a drink!

The review is a 4 and a half and that's big for me. Great chef sending out some really good top end (above pub grub) food. Surroundings are very welcoming and cosy, music is eclectic and the staff are great. Would highly recommend if you local or staying in the area.
No menus available at tables or in any easily accessible area (have to queue at the bar to ask for a menu). Jacket potatoes very small (two in our party had JP's, they both came out tiny with no more than a tablespoon of filling - for ~£10 each), although garnish was nice and fresh. Had to ask for cutlery, had run out for outside dining, and had no sauces available to pick up without having to queue at the bar again. No heating under parasols for outdoor dining, which is inconvenient given the interior eating area is tiny. Beer selection is just standard, nothing noteworthy. Won't be returning. It was a shame as I saw lots of other positive reviews, and I was expecting better.
