The Manger — Restaurant in West Suffolk

Unfortunately we didn't have the best experience, our table which was for 17 people that was booked well in advance really wasn't suitable. A rectangle and a circle table were placed together meaning that people had their backs to others. The staff then changed it to a straight line but it really wasn't suitable for 17, they admitted that they forgot about the 2 highchairs as part of the table, but they were on the corners anyway so was a very tight squeeze for 15 people. In my opinion the booking really shouldn't have been taken if it was too many. After this was sorted the food was good. It seemed that my dad's main (pie) was forgotten about as all the meals came out and this came some time after. They were very good at bringing extra veg and gravy to be honest.

My roast pork was very nice and lovely roast potatoes.

All in all it was a little disappointing as this was for my parents 30th wedding anniversary.

Hopefully will come again as a smaller group to give it...

Unfortunately we didn't enjoy our food at The Manger. Husband ordered a kebab from the Specials board and I ordered a Sirloin steak from the menu. We waited an hour or more for our food. We don't mind this if the food is good and fresh however it wasn't, disappointing. The Dishes are supposedly dinner size... the kebab arrived with two very small kebabs and a small pitta sliced in half. A very small dollop of salad. Nothing else, no chips or anything. It literally looked like a starter or a kid's lunch. I asked for my Sirloin steak to be cooked medium rare. It arrived medium to well done. It was chewy and bland. Tbh, it tasted more like a rump than a sirloin as there was no flavour you'd expect from a sirloin. For such a long wait for the food and the food to be less than satisfying, we will not be...

We hired the function room for our wedding reception, John and his staff were amazing from first enquiring to saying goodbye on the night. I cannot thank them enough, it was everything we wanted and more. Great hearty food that catered to all our guests, there was something for everyone. The room itself was beautiful, we barely needed any decorations just a couple ‘just married’ balloons and banners. We know the importance of supporting family businesses and it was a pleasure to do so. I’d also like to add that when visiting the ladies room it was lovely to see free sanitary products available for those unexpected moments, I wish more places catered like this. Thank you again for everything, we hope to see you...
