I first read about this place in a book called 'Where Chefs Eat' - about.. you guessed it: where Chefs eat in their free time. There were only two restaurants listed for Suffolk: one was The British Larder (now replaced by the even more excellent The Unruly Pig), and Pea Porridge. I persuaded the wife that we should book a room at The Angel Hotel purely so we could try it out and not worry about drink driving or the longish drive home from Bury. It was well worth the trip: I reckon this is the best restaurant in Suffolk (sorry Brendan, if you are reading this!). It's a French bistro with truly excellent standard of cooking, rarely seen out of London. There is a focus on fresh produce, simplicity and 'nose to tail' cooking, à la St.John. And it is cosy too, with a candlelit, intimate atmosphere: the restaurant was originally two cottages knocked into one, so the wife approved too. It's quite a long drive for us (just over an hour) but, even so, we have been back several times. Highly recommended.
