OK, so it’s a little out of Suffolk, but if you happen to be in the area and need a bite to eat, then The Warrener on the outskirts of Thetford is worth a visit.
Serving food all day, this pub is attached to a Premier Inn but unlike most Premier Inns, this isn’t on the side of an extremely busy motorway!
The food was exactly what we expected from a pub of this type, the atmosphere was OK and the bill was relatively cheap. They also have a special offer during weekdays of 2 meals for £10, which would be well worth taking advantage of!
If you’re visiting Thetford Forest and need somewhere to eat on the way home, the The Warrener is worth a call.

Having tried The Dog Inn in Norton before, we thought we’d take a couple of friends there for dinner on Good Friday.
Surprisingly the place was relatively quiet which meant that we got a table straight away.
The service was very good, the food was exactly what we expected and the bill was very reasonable for 4 people. Admittedly we didn’t have deserts and drinks were bought seperately at the bar, but at around £12 per head, it definately didn’t break the bank!
All in all a pleasant evening an nice atmospheric inn.
I have no doubt that we will be returning in the not too distant future.
The Bildeston Crown was a very nice introduction to dining in Suffolk when we first arrived.
With an excellent menu and very reasonable prices, The Crown has seen us on several occasions since our first outing.
Not only is The Crown an extremely good restaurant, but also a very nice hotel, although we have found them to be very inflexible when it came to booking a a late stay. I mean, you expect some sort of reduction when they still have a room left a 6pm on a Saturday evening!
Having said that, the food makes The Crown well worth another try, and afternoon tea in their courtyard is great on any summer afternoon.

Excellent blend of modern, traditional and international cuisine from a restaurant that has been established for over 25 years.
Perhaps a little on the pricey side, but the fact that you have to book to get a seat speaks volumes for the quality of the food and the excellent atmosphere.

A delightful tea room with a distinctly French approach. Specialising in ’simple’ French country cuisine at very good prices and with a great atmosphere.
A most pleasant place to tuck into a croque monsieur or tartiflette, share a bottle of lunchtime wine and watch the world go by.
