The best restaurants serving British food in Forest Heath East of England

Brilliant pub, brilliant atmosphere! Locals were all very friendly & welcoming & the landlords, Ashley & Samantha are the friendliest & loveliest people I've met as pub runners. Top place x

We went for New Year's Eve dinner and will not be returning. Unfortunately, the quality of cooking since being taken over by The Chestnut Group has let this place down. So here is the list of the problems we encountered- The nibbles did not arrive before the starters. There was a 10 inch long blond hair in the ham hock starter that my friend had to extract from his mouth . He did not eat the rest of the plateful. The scallop starter when I did finally receive it as they did not bring it to the table with all the other starters, was not cooked properly and the seaweed base was inedible. The waiters were hard working and I cannot fault them. When we broached the hair in food situation with the manager on paying the bill there was no apology whatsoever. Don't waste your hard earned money eating there.

Scam! Pub is closed. Last owner did a runner and charged my credit card for a room they had no intent on providing. Total criminal.

We come to the half moon for a meal with our 3 children regularly, the restaurant and pub itself has a lovely atmosphere, great food prices along with generously portioned plates. Lisha, Nina and Lisa was the girls serving today and they was all smiley and polite. All the the girls that work here should be praised for the 5* service, thank you all!

What we had was good, however, according to the Blackboard the meat was Beef, Chicken, or Gammon. Unless you are known to Chef, after we had eaten he came and offered two guests LAMB.. I will attach a picture of our ‘Large’ portions. That is unless you are known to chef, then your portion is considerably larger. Note, the small flat piece of Yorkshire pudding, or at least I think that’s what it is supposed to be. Four, yes four sprouts, I actually asked our lovely waitress if she were sure that these were large portions. Note one slice of parsnip, one slice of sweet potato, that mushed up white stuff is cauliflower cheese and sloppy broccoli. I made my issues known, it’s simply not good enough to give preferential treatment to regulars, unfortunately we are local and were just out for a Sunday lunch. Like I said what we had was nice, and graciously and politely served, but if you know chef you will get larger, large portions. Don’t go here if you don’t know chef.

We recently had a meal at Judes Ferry. The food was very nice and so were the staff which would normally make this would have been a 4 star review at least. Unfortunately the front door is left open which makes it cold and the whole place needs a refurbishment inside and out. I know everything cost money but a coat of paint would make it so much better

Our breakfast was absolutely perfect. Everything was delicious and the service was great. My duvet and I had the full breakfast and my son/husband had the sandwich.

Called in on way back from beach. Ordered small fish and chips. £9.70!! I was the only one in the shop 3.15 and one person serving. Got back to my van and the fish was like a mini sardine so small and the chips were dry shrivelled and most probably started their life the night before. I also noticed from the leaflet I picked up that I should have been charged about £6 as there was an offer on. I phoned to complain 6 times but no one answered so took it back and got my money back. Second time this has happened load of old trash. Never again.

Popped in here on as fancied beer and food......wasn't expecting much from the menu , they did a tapas menu ......but English style version ......tbh was expecting frozen , from the price , but was more than surprised!! Everything was fresh produce , cooked lovely and very tasty . Commended the food, and the chef came out to see us ... promised I would do a review ( only now got round to it ) they are going to be pushing their restraunt and if the snack / tapas menu is anything to go by . Anyone in Mildenhall, please pop in , it's got a great atmosphere....cheap beer ! And food that's very reasonable, but more importantly tasty !! Will definitely be back

Usual poor food hygiene whilst handling both food and money with bare hands One person wearing gloves but using same to handle money and rolls Three of the staff always pick rolls using serviette so where the manager training the others Certainly no training in food cross contamination and guessing Greggs are not customer focused as I’ve left many reviews but never a reply!

Waitrose offers and excellent stop for snacks and tea/coffee with free parking. Newspapers as well! A great plus in these days.
