££Traditional Cuisine
A trip to this enthusiastically run country pub feels a little like stepping back in time, in the best possible way. Serving the kind of menu where you could happily eat every dish, the kitchen favours a no-nonsense approach where big, hearty flavours and prime produce lead the way. Great use is made of cooking over fire, in dishes like wood-roasted quail served with a glossy sauce made from its roasting juices. It’s all simply joyous cooking, made even better by the welcoming team and idyllic location in the shadow of this tiny hamlet’s picturesque church.

£££Modern Cuisine
This modern dining pub is far from unruly, with a formality to the service and a welcome warmth from the genial team. Wood panelling and interesting modern artworks are among the stylish touches, which are nicely integrated within the classic pub interiors. The cooking shows off contemporary techniques and there's a Mediterranean influence to some of the flavoursome dishes, like Ibérico pork or rabbit raviolo. The best value is to be found on the set lunch menu, while roast dinners are a fixture on Sundays.

£££Italian
The residents of Framlingham are fortunate to have this lovely neighbourhood Italian where the team are charming, the décor is bright and the cooking is fresh and full of flavour. Plenty of pasta dishes sit alongside fish and meats from the wood-fired oven, while a strong plant-based selection ensures everyone in your party is catered for. A well-priced, all-Italian wine list is an added bonus, as is the value to be found on the 'Menu Fisso'. The same team run an ice cream shop and the Beviamo cocktail bar too, making Framlingham an even more enticing destination.

£££Seafood
With a terrific beachside location, this smart modern brasserie provides just what you want to see on a menu when you're beside the sea – fish and shellfish galore! Time-honoured techniques are used in reliably enjoyable classics like dressed crab and moules marinière, alongside daily fish specials such as pan-friend halibut with beurre blanc. To start, venture onto land with a dozen 'escargots' to share and, if the weather's good enough, make sure you grab a seat on the rooftop terrace that overlooks the beach.
