The Leaping Hare
This elegantly converted 16th-century barn on Sir Kenneth & Lady Carla Carlisle's estate is set among gorgeous gardens, ancient woodlands & seven acres of vineyards noted for producing highly respectable wines. The barn restaurant is noted for an impeccably sourced, seasonally inspired menu.
It is in the Good Food Guide and only about 4 miles from Badwell at Wyken Vineyard where there is also a very good farmers market every Saturday morning.
Maison Bleue
This is an excellent fish restaurant in Bury St Edmunds and featured in The Good Food Guide.
Theobalds Restaurant at Ixworth
A very good local restaurant with a seasonally changing menu, about 5 miles away. Recommended.
Pubs and restaurants
