"As a fan of their sister restaurant [Lucca at Manningtree], we were keen to try The Thorn but sadly, it didn't come up to our expectations. The lunch table I'd booked via email on 11 January had since been reserved for other diners and the staff spent a few minutes trying to re-organise another suitable table for us, despite the fact that we arrived at 12noon prompt and only one other couple were already dining. After sitting at our table with a couple of glasses of Prosseco, we ordered a main course only and it took at least 50mins for this to arrive. We both had the Plaice which was OK but not memorable, although the skin-on fries were tasty and the salad was OK. We enjoyed a couple of large glasses of number 17 [Tin Pot Hut] at £8.45 each. I then choose the Tart of the Day for dessert and my partner had a Vanilla Pot, both of which were OK. However, my pastry was so tough and I had to request a dessert fork to enable me to eat it with the dessert spoon. They clearly don't automatically set the table with both items of dessert cutlery, which should be normal for a restaurant of this standard, despite my initial pleasure at noticing very nice linen napkins at all place settings. The restaurant quickly filled up [well, it was Valentine's Day] but we were surprised that a couple who arrived at the next table to us were given only one menu with apologies from the waiter saying that he was waiting for more menus to be printed! We felt the male member of staff who appeared to be in charge was very poorly dressed in a rather tattie pair of jeans for a restaurant of this quality, although the other waiting staff were nicely dressed, very polite and helpful. All in all, an OK sort of lunch but for £80 [including tip] it was pricey and we'll undoubtedly be heading back to Lucca next time."

"Stayed on december 9th Saturday. What a lovely, friendly, welcoming place. The room was amazing, very clean and fresh, and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Dinner was fantastic, and we had a good choice of vegetarian options. Staff were very attentive and pleasant. Would highly recommend staying here and we are looking forward to a return visit in the future 5 Rooms: 5"

"We are so lucky to have such a fantastic pub/restaurant on our doorstep!! We are blessed locally to have a lot of pubs in the local area, but none come close to the food, atmosphere and friendly staff at The Bull. Dog friendly bar area and upper restaurant seating area, and dog free restaurant over looking the rolling fields towards the river stour (which is amazing in the summer). In the summer time you get the opportunity to sit on their large patio or garden with some of the best views from a pub garden in Suffolk. There is a 5-a-side goal for kids to play football with, as well as a ground level trampoline. They also have a large permanent marque that you can hire out for weddings, birthdays or just family events, which comes with private garden area for guests."

"This restaurant is one of the best places to stop and enjoy a meal, especially if you are taking the boat to or from Harwich. On Tuesdays, they offer a special deal with 2 pounds off appetizers and desserts - what a bargain! We had a delicious three-course meal for the price of two, and they serve until 10 o'clock. The atmosphere is beautiful and the staff is friendly."
