Restaurants at The Ickworth Hotel

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit here for Sunday Lunch. The menu is seasonal and varied each week. Really enjoyed the salmon and roast beef. The food was excellent and well presented. The location is lovely being set in the idyllic grounds of Ickworth house. The atmosphere is family friendly and the hospitality is brilliant. Front of house staff make sure everything is perfect. We will definitely be back. Kid-friendliness: Family friendly hotel and restaurant.

Went for afternoon tea for 3 people. Took a long time to bring the order and there seemed to be a lot of confusion from staff about which one was standard, which was gluten free and which was the child's. Multiple back-and-forth trips to the kitchen ensued. When the food finally arrived it turned out to be very small portions given the high price. Vegetable sticks for the child were dried out, as if they'd been lying around for hours. A weird banana cake infused with thyme that was inedible. GF scones were cold to the touch. The lone macaron had no flavour at all. There was a single slab of dry chocolate cake. Staff seemed perpetually confused and the food was bad. Making it worse was the 95 cost, which is frankly rude given the poor quality and small portions. Spoiled a nice family day out at Ickworth.

Had a terrible experience. Rump steak was tiny. No check back No offer of condiments. Dirty water glass. Was very disappointed. The rest of Ickeorth House is excellent , really disappointed with the restaurant.

Birthday treats... wish we hadn't bothered. Not returning customers for sure. Definitely not fine dining. Very overpriced, average food of small portions and not very well presented. Fish curry contained mussel meat which had been so overcooked that the meat was almost non existent. I wish I'd taken photos! Desert was so expensive for what it was. We were also unaware that we could've eaten our meals other than in the conservatory.
