"Visited on a beautiful sunny Sunday for drinks. The pub is very quaint and food is good (from previous experience) but that is where the positivity ends. We were told on ordering our drinks at 3:35 that this was last orders and they closed at 4 despite all online literature saying 5pm. Not too much of an issue in insolation really these things happen. My husband returned to the bar for crisps to overhear the land lady complaining that she couldn 't get closed up to enjoy the sunshine as people kept coming to the bar. We all have a moan now and again about work but maybe this should be done in private rather than in front of the customers who are here to support your business? Then it went downhill. Whilst there I potentially lost an important item but didn 't realise until the next day. So on Tuesday when passing I popped in to see if it had been handed in as this was the last time I knew I had it. The pub looked open from the front all signs out and the beer garden door was unlocked. On opening it was dark inside so I just popped my head round the door and called out 'Hello '. After another 'hello ' the landlady stuck her head around a corner and my interaction went as follows: Me: Hi I 'm so sorry to interrupt but I was here Sund.... Her: We are closed (very abrupt and rude) Me: Oh I 'm sorry the door was unlocked can I just ask if.... Her: NO we are closed you have to leave. I am just a chef here I don 't know anything. Leave now. Me: Umm ok I just Her: GO AWAY Me: OK, do you have a number I can call about lost property, its just it is a very important key Her: Find it online now you need to leave. Get off the property!! Me: There is absolutely no need to be so rude, don 't worry I will take my business elsewhere I am still pretty shocked at being spoken too with such unprovoked rudeness. I did not just barge into the pub I popped my head round the door to ask a question. I apologized as I hadn 't quite realized they were closed as you can 't really see in through the door. Also to barefaced lie and tell me she was just a chef? Having been a few times I very well know she is the land lady. It 's ok if you can 't help me but just be polite or at the very least civil. Absolutely disgusted and certainly will not be back. So disappointing as the pub used to be so welcoming a few years ago, we used to go a lot. Local businesses need all the support they can get right now so why on earth would you treat people like this?"

So at 12.00 today not so customer friendly! Why the poor attitude when speaking to my wife? Discourteous, impatient, and down right rude. Needless to say we did not stay.

We popped in here for lunch in early August and the food was great and service excellent, so when back in the area a few weeks later we came for an evening meal with family, and were not disappointed. Well recommended.

Went there for a roast. Disappointed really, potatoes were really hard but lamb meat was good. In general a bit bland. The place was really cold. Staff though were really nice and polite. A real asset to the place. Clean toilets and spacious car park.

Food and facilities are fantastic, unfortunately there is a standoffish vibe from the landlady, who often is; abrupt and very rigid whether it’s at the bar and where you stand or where you sit, let alone request. Be sure to expect a quip remark if you’re out of place!

Stopped in on a Sunday day trip because it was on our route home. The food was excellent. I highly recommend the Sunday lamb. We had excellent drinks, starters, and pudding too. The service was quick, accommodating, and kind. Parking was easy, and the bathroom was great for diaper changes.

I went for dinner and a catch up with a friend. Food was absolutely fab. The service was excellent and atmosphere was so relaxed. The staff were wonderful couldn’t do enough for you and spoke to you like you were a regular. The prices are good value for money I would definitely recommend a visit

Visited here at the end of August and had a great experience! I was quite shocked to read some of the recent reviews on here as this was not my experience at all in fact, the landlady was very friendly and welcoming, pausing to chat with our table and other guests, and made sure to check on us during service. The food was absolutely delicious I had the Phad Thai which was very authentic and tasty and the portion size was huge. My family had the steak and ale pie and the swordfish niçoise salad which they both said was equally as good. I would definitely recommend The Red Lion to anyone in the Suffolk/ Essex surrounding area and I will also be returning!

Went for dinner with family, against their wishes,as said the Landlady is incredibly rude.They were not wrong.Asked if could have potatoes instead of chips, a quick and sharp NO asked why,really gave no answer,just bad attitude. Almost took Mum in her Wheelchair to have a lunchtime drink,she had Whiskey and gingerale, (she also had this when we were there for dinner), went yesterday lunchtime only to be told ,they don 't and have never served Gingerale. To which I replied, we had it twice last week . The Landlady became SO RUDE and SNARKY,told me I was rude,of course I told her she was rude,she then suggested maybe we should find somewhere else to go .In all my years of traveling globally, n...

We selected this pub for a night out with friends based on reputation and location. We had a pleasant time having pre-drinks outside prior to our table being ready (booked for 7pm). The landlady came to get us at 7.05 and we were seated in pleasant surroundings. Unfortunately it was less satisfactory from here. One of our party requested an allergen log but was told they did not have one. Of the two starters ordered, one had a hair in it. The dish was removed and a free drink offered. Unfortunately the same member of our party found another different hair in her main course amongst her salad. Whilst this is dissatisfactory, I am still shocked by the landlady’s response now. She approached ou...

"We came here on a last minute hunt to find a Sunday roast with family without much expectations. However when entering its a lovely set up and we were greeted by Lee and Alison who looked after us for the meal who just to begin were absolutely brilliant, they really care about the customers and make this place extra special. Now for the food you can get a 2 or 3 course meal so everybody made various selections but all had starters. Most went for the Aarancina which isn't your usual starter with a Sunday roast but for here it packs alot of flavour and is a great way to start the meal. They have a great selection of alcoholic beverages I went for a simple beer. For the main roasts we had a variety of meats I wanted the pork but sadly they had no crackling which was half the reason for ordering but if I am being honest after eating the meal it wasn't missed out the meat was tasty full of flavour but the sides were the key. The roast potatoes were of a top level usually when you eat out they are never as good as eating at home, the Yorkshire were huge and tasty, gravy brilliant with plenty to go around and lots of veg and cauliflower cheese on the side. Honestly this was excellent a really good roast probably the best I have ever ate in a resteraunt. Some of the others had the lamb shank which was huge and had great feedback but the beef was great and so was everything else. So yes check it out eat in and eat some great food in a nice setting with absolutely brilliant service you won't be disappointed."

"What can I say….We held our wedding dinner and impromptu party ! on the mezzanine floor and had the time of our lives with our nearest and dearest. It’s been a pretty special place for us as we dined at the House by Hilly Gant to check the area out before moving from London and so as we were having a small wedding of 22 people we felt this was the best place to have our wedding. Suzanne and the team could not have done anything more to make our afternoon and evening so perfect. The food was outstanding and our guests were very impressed Harry and his cocktail making skills are second to none. Huge shout out to all the kitchen staff who’s attention to detail and timings were spot on. Leading up to the day itself Suzanne took charge and offered her expert advice on how to dress the room and made so much effort with our requirements. 3 children and 1 baby as part of the guest list! . The beef in particular was spectacular and the chocolate fondant was sublime. We honestly didn’t want to leave. After dinner Suzanne was able to crank the music up and we had a little party ensuring all the guests downstairs were still well looked after our friends were actually dining downstairs and were able to join us towards the latter part of the evening! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much to everyone for making it so special for us. I’m not surprised that you were recently awarded your second rosette, totally deserved. For anyone looking for quality food, locally sourced, and beautifully executed this is the place to come. SEE YOU SOON and thank you again x"
