Owned and run by Nedging Hall Estate, a Suffolk based hospitality brand, The Bildeston Crown is a true country pub that sits firmly on Bildeston High Street. Surrounded by the stunning Suffolk countryside, The Bildeston Crown is absolutely everything you'd want from a countryside pub – cosy, dog friendly and charming. The menu pays particular attention to locally sourced produce, and just like the Suffolk landscape, they change often. Fortunately for you, the team works with local suppliers and businesses to source the very best ingredients and bring you an unforgettable experience.
The lunch and dinner menu kicks off with snacks, like the smoked haddock bites with lime mayo and homemade treacle soda bread. The starters sound absolutely delightful, with options of celeriac and apple soup with a Waldorf salad and soda bread, a pork and pistachio terrine with Moletrap mustard and toast, and pepper cured chalk stream trout in yoghurt, with a citrus salad. Sage gnocchi with roast squash, ricotta and a hazelnut dressing begin the selection of mains, followed by baked cod with butter beans, pancetta, Jerusalem artichokes and chard, and braised venison shoulder with kale and a date and pickled walnut salad.

Finishing off, it's time for dessert. Enjoy a BBQ fig leaf crème caramel or tosier dark chocolate mousse with banana and milk ice cream. On Sundays, there are some impressive roasts to choose from. Enjoy the roast beef with carrot puree and horseradish sauce or pork with parsnip cream and applesauce, both served with roast potatoes, root vegetables, greens, braised cabbage, a Yorkshire pudding and gravy.
