I have been at Wyken Vineyards several times for celebrations at the Leaping Hare, and It's totally worthy. High-quality food from local produce, great local wine, and beautiful gardens (check before visiting them as they close some months a year). It has a lovely gift shop with a good selection of craft products. If you're looking for a rural and elegant place to eat and visit, this is the one to be.
Everything from the greeting when we arrived and though to the bill at the end the service was just right, not too fussy but attentive.
The food was of very good standard though out and seasoned and played very well.
Well done everyone and we will be back for sure.
Well we revisited them today. I was treated by my number 1 daughter. Not really an issue but look at the cups. My daughter's was the large one. Full of hot chocolate. Mine was a white coffee. Not too big an issue (see what I did there) I could have another. Not saying I sulked but those that know me well.....
Then the food arrived, plentiful and great quality.
Tried them on a Sunday with the whole family. We sat in the barn enjoying Venison 🍕 and Croque Monsieur. Plus of course coffee. Not forgetting a portion of chips. All I can say is the food was the best of type I have had. The coffee was also up there. The pizza oven chef made the whole event even more enjoyable with his quips and brevity. We will return, and soon.
A beautiful place, excellent tea room and cafe also Al fresco. The gardens are excellent part formal and cottage, a buttery, ancient wood.
Animals roaming about including hens, guinea fowl and turkeys. They sell wine made with grapes (Bacchus grape) from their own vineyard and finally the house itself is visually stunning (no access). Recommended.
Beautiful grounds, a really great shop and the Leaping Hare restaurant was fantastic! We had a two course lunch, and it was absolutely exceptional. The trout starter was the standout, but all dishes were delicious - we also had some lovely Wyken white wine and it all cost the same as very average Mediterranean restaurant we went to the day before in Bury St Edmunds!
Couldn't recommend this place enough, delightful.
My friend and I had breakfast which was very nice. It cost a whopping ÂŁ42 odd, although she did have a croissant too which was ÂŁ4.95! Service was OK, bit slow. Atmosphere OK too, noticed many people not talking, just on their ipads!
The restaurant in the old barn is high end, the food is excellent but not cheap. I didn't try the wine. The gardens are a gem, several defined areas very floriferous, we loved it.
Absolutely love it here, don’t live far away and have planned to go for ages for some Pizza. It was delicious. The farm shop was lovely and bought a bottle of wine, I still haven’t tried it and I hope it’s good. I would also like to go back and see the garden plus the woodland walk. A vineyard tour is also on my list. You can see the vineyard on the road from Ixworth to Walsham Le-Willows, it puts a smile on my face every time. So beautiful. I may even try out the restaurant, that’s meant to be very nice. But overall just coming for the pizza is definitely worth it! Plus I love the Llamas with the sheep!
A very pleasant place. Was there for lunch. All liked it)
The food was lovely as always but we were somewhat bemused by the lady at the next table happily sitting with her feet up on the chairs. Apart from other diners having to sit on those chairs, it was not a particularly pleasant sight. I was surprised that the staff didn't ask her to put her feet on the floor.
