The best restaurants in Forest Heath East of England

Now renamed as GreenBox Sushi, this Japanese restaurant is no longer a buffet. Inside the seating is very dark and dingy, with delivery supplies and clutter over half of the tables. We decided to eat outside as it was lovely weather. The menu we were given to browse was paper stapled together, no lamination or design. When ordering I asked for coke, which was on their menu, they didn’t have coke so we had to opt for Pepsi. When taking my food order the receptionist told me that they were busy with lots of deliveries and had to go ask the kitchen staff if it was okay to take my order! I had the tofu ramen and my partner had the pork ramen with a side of gyozas. Gyozas were fried instead of steamed, no sauce provided and were luke warm in the middle. I believe they cost £6.50, so from a price point this is quite underwhelming. However the ramen was delicious! We opted for the spicy broth and it went lovely with the tofu and beansprouts! Definitely would recommend the ramen as it’s full of flavour and quite a large portion! I was again disappointed that the cutlery provided was a fork and spoon. We eat Japanese and Chinese cuisine often at home as I’m a huge fan of recreating dishes, we are used to eating with chopsticks and it felt very wrong eating ramen with a fork! I would suggest investing in washable steel chopsticks, that way you save chopstick waste but keep the authentic Asian feeling.

Great food! So far the best I have had in the area.

Lovely breakfast so welcoming, definitely worth a visit as Four in a Bed winner. Matt and his team were lovely.

Unfortunately this place has gone down hill. This used to be my favourite place to go. The last few times I’ve gone in the kitchen staff fooling around out the back, poor service and barely warm food. This time (my last time) I ordered and paid for a large combo and when I get home I have been given a regular!

Delicious food and friendly staff. Pleasant restaurant with nice decor. Would definitely visit again if in town vsiting the area.

Consistently great

I would recommend the wok n rock as it has really good food especially the sweet and sour chicken and really friendly customer service and they cater for big groups as they catered very well for our table of 12 adults and 5 children , the service was 100% perfect and would just like to say thank you Hollie for everything you did to make mine and my families evening a really enjoyable experience I will be visiting again on my next visit from The Netherlands . Many thanks Marie

I came in for a coffee and served by a very pleasant young lady along with a pleasant man Very professional and happy to please

God awful service always. The place is ALWAYS filthy and tables covered in dirty cups and plates, while the 3 staff behind the counter goof around and ignore you while people are waiting. This happens all the time not a one off occurrence. Sticky dirty sloppy place. Store and staff. Coffee is good but everything else it terrible. Go across the street were the Coffee shop is beautifully clean with polite efficient staff and it is cheaper with excellent Coffee ☕️.

Been here several times, staff are friendly and the food is lovely and they even have GF vinegar. Would recommend.

I’m reluctant in saying that this pub is possibly the best pub in Suffolk. If you like a choice of 4 beautiful real ales , served to perfection. Price is unbelievable BUT don’t expect food, I hear the term is a WET Pub. Well behaved dogs,kept on leads, are welcomed, walking boots are left at the door. Both are expected from considerate people. Inconsiderate people could go elsewhere.

Review of Christmas Club Meal. Arrived very busy ordered drinks from bar nice gin a bit slow with only one serving. Seated in the main restaurant where the carvery is situated. We had 4 large tables. Place settings nice and Christmas themed. The starters very nice liked the mini Camembert cheese the cranberry sauce a bit runny. Mains from are served from the carvery, meats were either beef, turkey. A fish and what looked like a vegetarian nut roast. Had Turkey it was nice and moist and tasty. Pigs in blanket good, roasted potatoes these were very over cooked dry and hardly edible, carrot and parsnips good, broccoli very hard nearly raw. Other vegetables very good. The contentious do or do you not have Yorkshire with Turkey, well I did again over cooked and kept warm also tasted very oily. Deserts I had the cheese and crackers, very good selection of cheeses, like the warm bread but the crackers were soft as having being left out to long or old stale. The other selections not to my taste as with most restaurants now consist of salted caramel or a variety of chocolate dish’s, cheese cake offered not my taste. Finished with very good mince pies and tea or coffee. Service good throughout. Overall worth the money best better if they sort the carvery over or undercooked items out.

Food was good, service was great, my kid loved it. Chicken chow mein was yum, chicken skewers were juicy, gyoza was good. We will be eating here again.

My wife and I sometimes come here for lunch on Sunday or occasionally stop for dinner. The buffets (both cavery & chinese) offer a good selection and are well stocked. One of out favourite local eateries.

Nice quaint pub, lovely lady serving. But sadly food very poor, sliced processed ham and 1 potato chopped up and deep fried as chips with fried eggs at a price of £6.50. Coffee £2.50 in a normal household mug that wasn't very clean. We won't be returning
