This distinctive, one-of-kind, and rare eatery has been able to distinguish itself by both locals and international tourists alike. Having won both the Food Awards London and Lux Global Hospitality for Best Community Café in the recent past, it only shows the excellence this cafeteria-style dining hall offers. When in the World's most unique city, one must visit the World's most unique cafeteria. It is not just a place to eat, but a place to be mesmerized by the historic past protruding into the fascinating present. A must do!

This shop is a real find. They sell a HUGE variety of good quality plants incredibly cheaply (you…read morewill never go to B&Q garden centre again), but also a very good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables in the shop. We buy almost all of our fruit and veg from here. The owner buys his fruit and veg stock on a Friday, mainly from local small scale producers and I much prefer to get stuff from him than the market, as it's not battered and tastes wonderful. Some of the stock is a bit past it's best towards the end of the week as it's not refreigerated, but once he's been out on a Friday everything is nice and fresh for most of the week. Highly Higly recommended and well worth the trip from Bury St Edmunds. You will make much more of a saving than you will have spent on fuel This is not the nursery with all the signposts in Risby (this is much much better), but is tucked away in between the Truck stop and the White Horse pub)

(Review later) The coffee is top quality pure arabica, the sandwiches, soups, scones and cakes deliciously home made. It is worth coming FROM town for a breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs amid olde worlde, beamed, surroundings. The unique selling point is that the cafe belongs to the family of David Croft, famous script writer of Dad's Army, Are You Being Served and other evergreen television series. Memorabilia of Dad's Army are available and photographs of famous actors, who have visited, adorn the walls along with excellent art work available locally.The cafe will appear soon on the Ixworth website (now under construction.) The Cafe hopes to open in the evenings as a cafe bistro next year. I hope that urbanites realise that you can get good food in the country as well as in town.

This place had been recommended by the locals as a good first stop on my afternoon tea bucket list. It is just fancy enough to keep you interested, but casual enough to put you at ease. Think i showed up during a rush and an employee break. One person was helping to seat, cleaning and taking orders. He was joined by 3 others about 10 min later. My order was taken out of seating order. Not the worst thing in the world. After he guided away from the children's menu, yes- I confused it for a specials menu, he made polite conversation when he come with the tea. Two teas that interested me were out of stock. Settled for the house blend 2. Enjoyable. Tea tower had a perfectly cooked brownie, macaroon, well toasted scone accompanied by jam and clotted cream, and theme finger sandwiches. The sandwiches were starting to crust, but I suspect they do so much business they are prepped in the morning. Little salt and they were perfect. At £15, affordable and good portion for tea for one. Worth a visit. Note. They try to set all 1-2 tops in the middle tables first. I stayed there, but many locals would move to the wall seats, given half the chance. (American in England)

But if anyone is ever in these neck of woods, I highly recommend you bookmark this place and visit. The Eleveden farm estate has such rich history and as soon as you enter the grounds it really feels like it. There's an air of majesty about it that's evident from the off. The lush green lawns, the surrounding white mansions, the fresh country air and the trees that surround the grounds give it a heavenly vibe. The aristocrats of yesteryear who owned the estate over the centuries certainly made their mark. I was also astonished to find that it was originally owned by A Maharaja Runjeet Singh of Lahore. The farm shop and restaurant have only been around for 8 years but are already an established high class brand in their own right. A gorgeous courtyard is surrounded by the restaurant, farm shop and other which I'm certain is packed during the summer. All in all, this was a magical little visit to a hidden treasure in the glorious East England countryside. If you're ever lucky enough to be in these lush neck of woods, highly recommend it.
