The Crown in Nayland
Privately owned village inn, in a lovely old Suffolk building
The menu changes every five weeks and they embrace seasonally available produce. They have a bar, restaurant and terrace, all of which are very comfy. Extensive wine list and cask ales, including the traditional Suffolk favourite Adnams
The food is superb at the Crown and they are open for breakfast, lunch and supper
Well worth a visit. A firm fave with our guests at Woodfarm
The Butt & Oyster in Pin Mill
One of the best known pubs in Suffolk and a firm favourite with Woodfarm guests
Famed for great Adnams beers, fabulous home cooked food and the most stunning location right on the river Orwell
A proper old riverside pub with bare oak floorboards, pints pulled straight from the keg and the smells wafting from the kitchen. This place is popular with locals and visitors alike and in the summer is heaving outside giving it a great atmosphere
A great place to visit when in Suffolk and just a stones throw from the Suffolk Food Hall (see our separate post)
Long Melford: The Black Lion
A fabulous 15th century inn, overlooking the village green in this picturesque village. This is the perfect place for a long lunch or dinner, they also serve teas and coffees all day and have a wonderful bar with a roaring fire in the winter.
The Angel in Nayland
The Angel Inn is a beautiful, timbered 16th century building that has been an inn since the 17th century
To this day The Angel Inn remains a traditional oak beamed ‘coaching house’, in the heart of this idyllic Suffolk village, offering all the comfort of modern life, in an historic setting
It has a superb reputation in the area and is well known for fabulous food and drink
Lavenham: The Angel Hotel
The Angel has an excellent reputation for serving delicious home-cooked food, providing an extensive range of wines, beers, and ales, and creating a warm and homely atmosphere where everyone is welcome.
Anchor in Stoke by Nayland
A traditional country inn and restaurant nestled in the beautiful Stour Valley
Nayland is a picturesque little village perched on the banks of the River Stour. It enjoys stunning views across the river and the beautiful countryside that is fondly known as ‘Constable Country’ thanks to the work of painter, John Constable
I’ve arrived at the Anchor on more than one occasion in my Kayak as it’s very easy to pull up at the bank and wander in for a pint or lunch
Suffolk Food Hall
Probably the most ambitious retail and restaurant project that any farm in the UK has undertaken!
That’s what the National Farm Shop Association said in 2013. And they’re not wrong! This really is an amazing place to shop for food, homewares, kitchen ware, garden and plants
Not far from Jimmy’s Farm so a nice little day out to visit both, Suffolk Food Hall is a fantastic destination for all foodies. There are loads of artisan suppliers of food and drink and you can now try much of it out in their fabulous restaurant overlooking the River Orwell and bridge
Barham: Sorrel Horse
The Sorrel Horse is a homely dog-friendly pub with huge garden – great for children. A family run freehouse for the last 25 years; the pub is set in a traditional grade II listed building, and is just a short drive from Woodfarm.
