The Woodyard Ltd — Restaurant in East Suffolk

Very Unique, quessentially Quirky. Being atmospherically Rather Rustic on the best side of le Natural . Overall, Fantastic food flavors considering woodyards' uses of infused woodsmoke & in-house wood fired pizza oven , which added greater value to the hunger struck teens+ parents. NB Food allergies taken into account & pre-orders & doggie bags are available upon request. Always ask first, including take-away was an added bonus, thus, enabling plenty of advance planning for group functions or gatherings. Plan Ahead for reassurances & although on the affluent side of being a bit pricey. Such good value for quality food within a luxurious budget, considering today's cost of living crisis.

Clearly a very popular place! We arrived just after 6pm on a Saturday, expecting to be seated immediately, but it was packed and there were already people waiting in front of us! We were told to expect a 25 minute wait. Unfortunately, it was rather longer than that, and for the majority of that time we were crammed into a corner without a seat. More unfortunately, somehow someone managed to misread the list of waiting people, and another couple who arrived a while after us were seated before us when we'd already been waiting well over half an hour! I was told it was a miscommunication and they offered us a complementary drink whilst we waited for the next free table, which thankfully didn't take too long.

Anyway, the food was good (very authentic pizza) and the atmosphere was pleasant. Service could've been better, seating error notwithstanding: our bottle of sparkling water was room temperature and we'd only been given little glasses with a bit of ice, so had to ask for more ice later!

If we had been able to book a table, the experience would have been much better, but you can only book for a large group. No idea why. I'd even be willing to pay a deposit to guarantee a particular time. As it is, that will probably prevent me from returning, as I prefer a more relaxing dining experience than we...

The menu choices were good our starters arrived quickly and were nice a lovely salad and burrata with pesto. I think our mains were possibly forgotten as we did wait quite a while, but like I said it was a Friday and they were slammed, when they realised we’d been waiting a while someone came over and apologised and we weren’t waiting much longer after that. It didn’t disappoint the pizzas were really good and authentic lots of toppings and flavour! My daughter even ate the crust which is unheard of. We boxed up what we didn’t eat to take home. My daughter finished hers off with a H&J’s ice cream which you can never go wrong with. We will definitely be back and will recommend it’s a great place doing it right in a really...
