Our first visit to The Brewers. An up market village pub. Comfortable and spacious. Staff friendly. What's outstanding is the food. All excellent. Beautifully presented and very tasty. Portion size just right. Minor criticism was the service is slightly slow.
The food and service is superb, friendly welcome and well balanced menu with a selection of four different dishes for starters, mains and desserts on the set lunch menu. The cooking is very accomplished and the set menu is very reasonably priced. We had a very pleasant Lunch and would recommend a visit to anyone.

This was the first time we had visited this gastropub. It's a delightful building with many ancient original features and delightful colour coordinated furniture with lovely beer garden. It's a slightly sprawling place with bar and adjacent restaurant. The menu wasn't long but had just enough choice. The food was original, extremely tasty and very enjoyable. All in all we had a brilliant experience and will definitely return the next time we want to splash out.
Had lunch here, £25 for 3 courses, and it was one of the best best meals out I’ve had. The food tastes as good as it looks and the staff were great. Will definitely be back.
My partner and I visited The Brewers back in March for an anniversary. The setting was warm, cosy and inviting.
As it was a special occasion we treated ourselves to the tasting menu, and it didn't disappointment! The food was well balanced, beautifully seasoned and had a great combination of flavours and textures. It was all delivered at a very reasonable pace, allowing us to savour and enjoy each course in our leisurely time.
Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be returning!!
Loved all the food, beautiful service!
We were just little bit disappointed in the beginning as where we were seated ( although we pre booked the table). Would have preferred to dine at restaurant side rather than in the bar area. Will definitely ask next time. Otherwise everything else was 10 out of 10 !
We came across The Brewers whilst doing a circular walk from Woolpit to Rattlesden and back. The food was first class and beautifully presented. Service was also first class. Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you.

I first discovered The Brewers in 2019 when I went several times alone or with my son when the rest of the family were busy with sports nearby. We started to go as a family on special occasions and the food was always excellent. Today The Brewers still has excellent food.
Perhaps a sign of the times, it is more expensive and portions (certainly the starters) smaller than I remember but the quality is still high. The bar menu, having is disappeared for a while is back as the more exciting sounding Gastro Menu, offering a decent fish and chips, burger and a vegetarian risotto for around £15 each. Full restaurant menu offers great options such as starters of Crab with a lemon grass sauce (really good), Asparagus and Egg, Lamb sweetbreads, and Scallop (yep, a singular large scallop) ranging from £9 to £13 each. Main course of Tomahawk steak for 2 people (£80) was huge with the steak cooked to perfection but needed more of the lovely Chimichurri which was barely there. Salt cod was excellent and is recommended. The Trout was good but the squid ink pasta it came with is rich and may not be to everybody's taste.
A tasting menu is available for £75 a head with optional wine pairing for another £40 or so.
Somehow despite the food being excellent the experience this time didn't have the same sparkle it has had on previous occasions. The service wasn't as sharp as it has been and there were some frustrations: despite it being a warm summers evening the radiators were on making some diners uncomfortable. We also tried to get some bread to mop up the lovely sauces but this was not possible without paying for £6 for portion of focaccia 🤷♂️
The Brewers is expensive but Sam is a fine chef and you should taste his dishes at least once. Hopefully you'll have a great time.
Food was very tasty but I felt portions were small considering how expensive it was. My friends and I all enjoyed our food as we were hungry - shame we had to wait an hour between the first and second courses.
One of the best Sunday roasts I've ever had. The beef was cooked to perfection, the potatoes crispy and fluffy, absolutely brilliant. Only downside was the cauliflower was a little too Al dente... all 4 of us found that and ended up leaving most of it.
Staff friendly and chatty, plus a lovely atmosphere inside.
Will definitely return!
Absolutely fantastic! Highly reccomended we ordered all but the fish off the menu and everything was delicious. Staff very attentive and friendly. Dog friendly, even brought a blaket to keep the dog warm. Nothing was too much, even made sure that the kitchen knew there was a person with a nut allergy and to ensure no cross contamination when in the kitchen.
Absolutely 💯 the best place we've eaten whilst on our stay. Met the chef Sam superb food from such a young chef won an award this year suffolk chef of the year this guy has a hell of a career ahead of him.
Dan at the front of house was more than happy to stop and chat with us about the history of the place and reccomended some good local butchers
Visited today for lunch and tried their new tasting menu, it was absolutely delicious!!! Also, the staff is very friendly and the location is very cozy and elegant. We'll definately go again.
Had a lovely meal here on a Saturday evening. Lovely pub great food , good staff . Definitely be coming again
Fantastic fine dining as well as brilliant pub classics. This pub has gone through failed owner after failed owner but was finally bought by some locals and they have given it the love it deserves. The decor has been rejuvenated and it has a menu to match.
There are two sides to the menu. One side has fine dishes such as venison Wellington that really make for a special evening out. This menu changes regularly to match the season so it never gets stale. The other side of the menus has slightly cheaper pub classics such as burger and fish and chips. Don't be fooled by the lower price tag, these dishes still have the same fantastic quality.
All in all this was a tired run down village pub that has been rejuvenated into a fantastic gastropub to match the best in the region. It really is a must try.
P.S it's dog friendly.
We Recently went to their Monday meat night. Tasty food. Will be going back. Dog friendly 🐾
Went with very high expectations for this award winning pub. It was very nice but not probably at the ‘award winning’ standard we were expecting. The starters and desserts were our favourites but the mains lacked a little flavour
Had a fantastic experience at the Brewers for our 5 year wedding anniversary. Great food and wonderful friendly service. The waitress even made me special alcohol free cocktails that weren't on the menu. We also stayed longer after our meal playing Scrabble (which we brought with us) and didn't feel rushed. Thank you. Will be back.
Amazing food! Staff are very helpful and went above and beyond to help out with anything we needed.
