David's of Sudbury — Restaurant in Babergh

Knowing how booked up they get for Robbie Music Nights, my husband & I made our table reservation for 4 people early last month for the event held last night (March 3rd). We also invited two family members from Ipswich, who appreciate good food & music, to experience the fantastic evening’s entertainment. As we live locally, we often pop into David’s for a quick coffee and cake or lunch in this, the friendliest business in town, where we are always met with smiles & wonderful food & excellent service by all staff. At a time when small businesses are finding it difficult to make a profit, we should all try to support them in anyway possible. This particular small family business succeeds because of the most excellent meals, prepared & cooked by David and his small staff; the friendliest of welcomes & attention to details (especially to Music Nights & other Special Events) by his lovely wife, Trish; the efficient Bar Staff & Waitresses, who all work their socks off to ensure the smooth running of the business. We also appreciate that the special night events take an enormous amount of time & energy to organise and as we have found, they get booked up so quickly and if we don’t book early enough you risk being placed on a lengthy waiting list!! Unfortunately, we believe some people have recently taken to making reservations for Music Nights & then either turning up very late (maybe just to sit, listen to the music & have a couple of drinks before leaving without eating). When making reservations, it is always made clear that the price INCLUDES food. When people then abuse this booking system, it disrupts the whole organisation in the kitchen & makes for delays in eating for all other customers. This is totally unacceptable & will result in everyone having to pay a substantial deposit when making reservations and we feel so sorry for this lovely family business. Finally, we all thoroughly enjoyed the music, food, ambience of the Wine Bar and will continue to support them as much as we can. Highly recommended...

Came in for tea and coffee, and ordered two glasses of water. Since the water came in a very small jug, we soon asked for a refill to which we were told that we can’t just order water by an elderly lady and heavy eyeshadow. That same lady came up to our table with the water and started explaining that it’s wrong of us to only order the water (although we also ordered tea and coffee) and told us she will have to charge us for the water and the ice… we did not at any point specify that we wanted tap water, so we were prepared to pay for it anyway. It was extremely embarrassing, as others were around. Perhaps our foreign accents have had something to do with it, either way it has left us very uncomfortable and upset at the condescending way we have been spoken to. All other staff were extremely lovely and polite, and even apologised for the altercation of the...

Stopped by on a busy market day Thursday, very pleasantly surprised to find a coffee shop with a genuine passion for quality coffee. Being rather extensively travelled person who does like a nice strong coffee I find it hard to get that certain something usually missing in the UK, a full bodied strong yet smooth coffee. The service was first class as were the staff. The owner and namesake David really knows his beans! Hadn't got the chance to as yet sample the food menu however it was clear from hearing other customers comments and remarks that they were enjoying theirs. Would very highly recommend stopping by even to just grab a takeaway coffee rather than buy a bland soulless brew elsewhere...
