The Lindsey Rose - Babergh

I visited the restaurant on a Friday evening and it was quite crowded. My party arrived early to take advantage of the January promotion offering a main course and drink for £15. We were welcomed by friendly staff and enjoyed delicious, beautifully presented menu options. There was a slight delay in receiving our coffees, but this was understandable given the busy atmosphere of the pub. The ambiance was lovely, with a cozy atmosphere and a roaring log fire.

The shrimp burger at this restaurant is excellent, and the service and atmosphere are also top-notch. It's the ideal spot for a cozy lunch by the fire. However, the website advertised a lunch and drink special for £15, but I ended up being charged £36 for 2 meals. When I questioned it, they said some drinks were not included in the deal and charged me an additional £33. It's disappointing that they didn't honor their offer.

The Sunday lunch we had at this restaurant was disappointing. All four of us were honestly disappointed, and my friend (who had made the reservation) was very embarrassed. The beef was tough, similar to an old boot, and the lamb was overcooked, not prepared as we expected.

We were passing through on a drive from Ipswich to Canterbury and stopped by for lunch. There was a garden party BBQ and we ordered BBQ chicken wings and dirty fries. The chicken wings were deep fried and then bbq sauce added on top which is not quite what we expected of a bbq party. There were no burgers or salads. Also, with it being a pub, we were surprised that only beer, gin and vodka was being served no rose wine or bourbons.

Beautiful location and a very nice pub. Large amount of tables inside and outside. The service was excellent. The staff were great. The food was good! All round winner!
