  “For my starter, I had the crispy duck, which was amazing. For my main course, I chose the chicken Caesar salad, which was also delicious. There was a great selection, and the service was friendly and very fast. I really enjoyed my meal!”

  “One of the most fantastic local pubs/restaurants in East Suffolk. The food was genuinely very very good. Well presented, great portion sizes, hot plates, clean cutlery, fresh meats/fish/salads & sauces etc. Great quality local ingredients -It is not expensive nor cheap, very well priced for the quality. My partner & I have been to many restaurants in Suffolk yet he still praises The Ufford Crown as having the best steak & chips in the county! The staff are very friendly, attentive, service is quick, no issues with ordering, great with allergies. The restaurants overall looks fab, well decorated, traditional with modern touches and very comfy seats. Access is great, the car park can become very full very quickly! Wheel chair access is also very good with a ramp available. Not a huge amount of parking , 100% recommend to book before hand, we've tried to come in 3x and been turned away as too busy which is such a shame even 30 after opening for lunch or dinner. Highly highly recommend, great variety of meals, snacks, starters and desserts. Will 110% be returning soon.”

  “Judging by the rammed car park, this is a very popular venue for Sunday lunch. Our party of 12 had to book our table either at 12 noon or 4PM, such was the pressure on tables. Anyway, that works for me because the food tends to be fresher at the start of service although I would imagine the kitchen will be constantly refreshing as the day progresses. The greeting was very friendly, the service not 100%, but pretty good. Our main meals were ordered and served quickly, as were drinks, but they were somewhat tardy in coming round for desserts,coffees etc. My eyes popped at the charge for a pint of 0.5% Adnams Ghost Ship which was £6.20, considerably more than I have paid at other local venues. I opted for the Dingley Dell belly of pork (£23.50). This consisted of a very decent portion of pork belly with excellent crackling, plus the best roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding I have ever had in a pub. The accompaniments were billed as a '7 vegetable mash', green beans, savoy, broccoli and jus' Other members of our party opted for the rack of lamb (£28.50), the chicken breast (£23), the Thai red tiger prawn curry (£23.50) and the roast sirloin of beef (£25.50). Most were happy with their choices but the mash was lukewarm at best (tasted more like swede than anything else) and the chicken judged to be 'average'. What surprised me were the dreadful toilets, long overdue for modernisation and only accessed by a step, so totally unsuitable for those in a wheelchair. They have made an effort outside to aid access for disabled guests, but it is far from perfect with steep slopes and a small step to negotiate. Unforgivable in this day and age.”

  “Extremely impressed with the quality of food, as well as the skill of the chef. For a so-called gastropub, this could easily be higher end restaurant in it's own right. Big old portions too! We were a party of 12 having a work Christmas lunch and it all felt seamless with little attentions to detail like a basket run to clear the cracker debris! So impressed. Thanks guys.”

  “Restaurant was a lovely atmosphere went in no wait, the staff was so polite. We shared the crispy duck with pancakes and for our mains prime burger and mushroom risotto to finish off with a vanilla crème brûlée all were so delicious such a pleasant night. Would visit again x”

  “Lovely gastro pub offering a warm and friendly atmosphere on a cold and frosty night. Reading the great reviews i think we may have had a bit of an off night. Thai red Tiger prawn curry was more sweet and sour, the prawns in the prawn cocktail we’re small and a bit soft and the pork belly was huge yet tasty enough but sat on overdone vegetables, and a tad visually unappetising. Shame, but still, we’ll come back again as the hospitality is fantastic, maybe in the spring after everyone’s had a well deserved break.”

  “What a fantastic meal we had at The Crown in Ufford! We started with the deep-fried Brie, and it was absolutely delicious. We both had, the pork belly from the specials menu. It was beautifully cooked with amazing crackling, a rich gravy, and creamy mash. Every bite was perfect. The service was also top-notch. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, especially with our three-year-old. They went out of their way to make sure she was happy, and she absolutely loved her meal sausage, chips, and peas. What really made the experience for us was the excellent play area—it kept our little one entertained for ages. Plus, the great parking and disabled access made everything so easy. We can't wait to go back!”

  “The best pub grub I've had in years, staff friendly, lovely clean pub, food out of this world. Will definitely be returning to sample other dishes, had 3 courses as was told this pubs food is excellent and it certainly lived up to its reputation, the pork belly salad, scrumptious. The puddings - yummy.”
