The Graze Kitchen Ltd — Restaurant in West Suffolk

Don’t be fooled by lovely pictures on the website or on the outside menu. This is what you really get on your board for £19.50: • One and a half slice of Mortadella which is cut so thinly that it falls apart • One slice of Prosciutto • Three slices of salami • A ‘’scrap’’ of chorizo • Two slices of cheese • A tiny triangle of Mozzarella • A teaspoon of olive oil mixed with balsamic • A few olives • Three tiny pieces of not very fresh bread and three crackers

You can however indulge yourself in rather generous portion of dried fruit and nuts accompanied by one soggy strawberry (cut in half for your convenience) and a few grapes. Unfortunately I did not receive any milk or Greek yoghurt to transform my lunch into a healthy breakfast. Perhaps if I did, I wouldn’t have left the place hungry.

My five (and a half) slices of ‘’ham’’ and three slices of cheese accompanied by a beautifully chilled bottle of delicious Sanpellegrino were served by nice and polite waitress.

The adventure finished with, I assumed, a manager who very enthusiastically helped with collecting the payment but wasn’t bothered with collecting any feedback. A feedback which, in my humble opinion, a new and rather permanently empty place would greatly benefit from. For now it seems like a management constantly hiding in the back office has to suffice.

Full of disappointment yet very true description of my experience which perhaps should be taken ‘’on...

Ambience and decor is ok, they’ve made an effort but not the most stylish space I’ve ever seen, good space for a pushchair though. The service is good in that they are friendly enough and plenty of them but as it’s an order at the bar kind of thing so only half a service. This is the second time we’ve eaten there and this time we ate the vegan grazer as opposed to the meaty one. The meaty one is better quality and variety whereas the vegan one was underwhelming and just an array of unimaginative and stingily filled up small white bowls. I ate most of these and the hummus, pepper and tomato sandwich and still left hungry. Flavour wise it’s not much better than the antipasto from Aldi. I’d expect more for the money spent. The halloumi burger was fresh tasting but the brioche went soggy quickly was my wife’s only criticism. Coffee was good last time, this time we had the usual overpriced soft drinks. Overall a slightly bitter taste left in our mouths and both said we probably wouldn’t go...

The Graze Kitchen High Street Newmarket. What a brave new world. Someone who is willing to start a new business in times of high pricing, commercial rent and rates yet still give it a go! If you think about the concept of having such a variety of foods sourced from unusual places it would be very difficult to be able to do this at home. Having just returned from Madeira where they are trying to introduce tourists to the same idea we very much enjoyed the experience. The pricing of such quality foods IS expensive. Its quality not quantity. So if you cannot appreciate world foods that are different and expensive to have on the menu this place is NOT for you. (Go to McDonald's) Those of you who like the finer foods of life that you would probably never ever buy go and try this new dining experience. I shall and am looking forward too it. Good luck to the owner of this new business. Wishing you...
