Howards Cafe — Restaurant in East Suffolk

Myself and my friend decided to visit Howards Tea Rooms for the second time as when we first went Dave was so impressed with his cappuccino and liked the look of the food the other diners were having.

When we arrived I immediately made a beeline for a comfy bench seat but before Dave could have a seat, the waiter whisked his away and disappeared. After a few seconds wondering where Dave was going to sit, the waiter returned with a really nice padded chair for him (which I thereafter referred to his Dave’s ‘special chair’). The waiter handed us a laminated menu each and we ordered 2 diet cokes whilst we scrutinised the menu. The waiter returned promptly with our drinks, and left us to decide what to eat.

I myself had only planned on having something light (such as a bacon roll),but Dave had decided he was definitely having a turkey roast dinner (for only £6) with a side order of roast potatoes. I looked through the light meals and decided on having the chicken burger with chips.

After placing our order we weren’t waiting too long for our food to arrive. Both of us were impressed with the look of our food. Dave was delighted to discover beneath the slabs of turkey lurked a delicious surprise of a portion of sage and onion stuffing balls which wasn't on the menu. My chicken burger and chips was great and the onion rings were deliciously crispy.

Overall I think we’d both give our visit a 10/10, and we will definitely...

6 of us went for a dinner as before we only had time for a light snack but after seeing the dinners being severed to other customers we really wanted to try the meals. Well we all had different meals and there wasn't a crumb left on our plates. Absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked, lovely and hot and at a very reasonable price. Really great quality delicious food, none of us could fault anything and the dessert's were just the same. Service was excellent, we all had a superb time. If we lived closer we would all go there at least once a week. Please don't change a thing as it certainly can't be better than it already is. Thank You from, Sandra & Alan. Helen & John....

I didn't enjoy the food, & the service wasnt particularly good,. Thought I'd have a Change and go somewhere different for lunch!...The cutlery wasn't clean.. Came in for burger & chips., for lunch.. When it arrived it was 2 small, very thin Iceland burgers (patty's) in a small bun, & the chips were hard. I don't expect alot for £4.50 but it wasn't enjoyable or filling.. And all i could hear was lots of clocks ticking there's about 5+ clocks in the cafe amd its all you can hear.. Irritating... Some people may enjoy it the bit it wasnt for me, personally i...
