Outside bildeston We’ve had a great start to the summer at The Bildeston Crown. The Sunday Times has recognised us as one of the 20 best restaurants which also had accommodation (see below). In fact we are so impressed with the company we are keeping in the article that we think a bit of personal research of these other establishments might be in order! We were delighted to see The Bildeston Crown in the shortlist once again for the Suffolk Food & Drink Awards and would be very grateful if you could help us once again with your vote. Finally we have some great events planned with our two all day barbecues, Tasting Thursdays for the autumn and …would you believe it – Christmas! But in the meantime, have a great summer and hope to see you soon

We were delighted to be recognised in a recent Sunday Times article – The 20 Best Restaurants with Rooms

The Sunday Times writers were asked to name their favourite restaurants in the British Isles with a room attached… and The Bildeston Crown was in the top 20 – the only representative for Suffolk and indeed the East of England. This is what they said:

Bildeston Crown, Bildeston, Suffolk

Don't be deceived by Chris Lee's minimalist dinner menu at the Bildeston Crown, which lists dishes such as "lamb loin, shoulder, lettuce". Lee is working delicate magic here. Each ingredient gets its own little parcel on the plate — perhaps a matchbox portion of belly pork layered with apple, a froth of clementine or some other finaglement. The bedrooms fuse bump-your-head beams and creaky floorboards with way-out wallpaper and saucy drapes; outside your window is classic Suffolk.

Details: 01449 740510, thebildestoncrown.com; doubles from £150, B&B, three-course "select menu" £45.

If you subscribe to The Times you can see the full article at www.thesundaytimes.co.uk which also features great places to stay such as The Hand & Flowers, Marlow; Restaurant Sat Bains, Nottingham; L’Enclume, Cartmel, Cumbria; Northcote Manor, Blackburn and the Peat Inn in Fife. bildeston times
