Visited today 18th June almost empty in there more around the bar drinking. Young girl server came up to take our order. She said soup is golden vegetable so we both ordered soup. On the menu it stated with roll and butter. The soup arrived after a fair wait for it and so did the roll and would you believe the usual little butter pat which had already had the foil lid removed. I wondered why? Firstly the roll was a soft bap the type meant to be used for a Burger dry and horrible. Looked at the so called butter it was a margarine yellow colour. Tasted it guess what it was margarine, Ate the soup nothing special at all. When girl came back to clear soup bowls I said to her that is vegetable spread or margarine definitely not butter. Her reply I do not know I do not work in the kitchen, I said well tell them the roll was bad enough as it should be a crusty roll with soup. And on the menu it states butter so it is dishonest to then serve margarine. Now know why the foil lid was removed before being bought to the table. Because that would have stated no doubt margarine. Girl asked did I want to order anything else I said no. As it now stood out a mile they cut corners here trying to pass margarine off as butter what else would they get up to? Husband asked for the bill. When the girl brought it to the table I asked her what did they say in the kitchen about passing off margarine as butter. Her reply was so quiet barely audible it was obvious she had said nothing to anyone. As to her this was normal I should think cutting corners. here so why comment she was not surprised at all, If it had been a genuine mistake she would have said sorry and took the roll away and the margarine as I had spread some on the roll and bought me another. No this was no mistake. And in all my years of eating out have never been served butter with the lid already removed which says it all. Well you lost out as we never ordered dinners which we intended, And we will never come back there ever. No doubt most of your customers are elderly I am myself but not that daft that I cannot tell margarine from butter. We eat out a lot so you have done yourself no favours here at all.

Tucked away in glorious Constable Country, in the village of Dedham, this 16th-century inn was once a clearing house for local wool merchants. Today it is a perfect for a pint, newspaper, sofa, two roaring log fires, as it is for locally sourced extremely

Another foray to what should be the excellent Marlborough in Dedham. The vegetables in the shoulder of lamb dish were luke warm and the parsnip puree was cold. We sent it back. Although we were not charged for the replacement, which was fine, this did not quite make up for yet another disappointment. Last time we visited the Marlborough was for lunch when we sat outside and, from memory, the food was very good. But before that, for an evening meal, we had chosen a curry from the specials board. When the food arrived I commented that some elements were missing. They had forgotten the mango chutney and said the naan bread was not included with the dish. When I pointed out that naan bread was listed on the board we were told it was a mistake! During a visit for dinner last year we had flies to contend with in the restaurant area (see an earlier review) and there were some annoying flies present this time. So overall, our experience at the Marlborough has not been very good. We will not go there again.

In the heart of Dedham, The Sun Inn has been a watering hole for villagers and resting post for travellers for centuries. These days, itâs much the same. An ideal spot to revive yourself be it with a pint of craft beer, a meal using fine East Anglian prod

This is one of my favourite pub restaurants and has been for some time. I love the old building and chilled atmosphere, and the lounge with comfy chairs and settees is a favourite.I took a friend yesterday for an evening meal for his birthday. We both had starters. Mine was crispy eggs which was nice enough. His main was fish and mine sirloin steak. The steak was OK but not great and his was the same, but the veg were fresh and nicely cooked. The puddings were a bit limited too. Service as very good. Overall not too bad an experience but not remarkable

I do like this place and I managed to winkle my dad out of his chair.Unusual soup of celeriac and apple, but dont be put off by the sound, it was actually very nice....Not as good as their stilton and broccoli, but thats really hard to beat.Dad had his ham egg and chips, I had the veggie flan. All in all nice food and good value especially for over 65's.Place was busy as usual, staff were lovely as usual. Hope to bring Dad back here again soon.Hi there, thanks for your lovely review, much appreciated. I totally agree with you, the broccoli & stilton soup is to die for but occasionally the Chef throws his toys out the pram and insists on doing a different soup! Hope to see you again soon (and I will try and persuade the Chef to sort the favourite soup out for you). Many thanks

We visited the Bull on a wet day. The interior was a big surprise, very modern spacious with a pleasant ambiance, Heidi, our waitress, was very friendly and efficient. Not an extensive lunch time menu however this was supplemented with a specials board. The dishes we selected were plentiful and delicious. The restaurant was well frequented,and there were lovely views from the restaurant windows. FYI very large car park adjacent to the pub. A good lunchtime experience..
