About

Yurt Bistro was founded with a belief that food can be both delicious and nourishing. All of the ingredients used on the menu are sourced locally, using trusted suppliers to guarantee dishes are packed full of freshness and high-quality flavours while supporting the local community. The menus also change with the seasons meaning the food on offer changes with guests' moods and seasonal needs.

At breakfast, you'll find fresh fruit smoothies, yoghurt, porridge with Zambian honey, the trending avocado on toast as well as larger options of a full English or omelette. For lunch and dinner, the menu is mainly a British affair with hints of a Mediterranean and seafood influence. Stand out dishes include the likes of classic steak tartare, beef fillet with garden vegetables and a rich beef jus as well as both risotto and pasta dishes. As a restaurant that prioritises an inclusive and intimate dining experience, the menu caters for vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free diners and children. 

The Yurt is situated in the grounds of Potton Hall, close to the spa, recording studio and cottages. The garden is open to the public throughout the year and, being on the doorstep of Dunwich forest, it is the perfect place to stop off after a long dog walk and enjoy a drink and some fresh, nutritious food. Designed as a traditional Yurt, the restaurant is unique, with wooden beams, wicker furniture, a wooden bar and traditional paintings adorning the walls. 

Also offering afternoon tea, The Yurt is a peaceful setting to enjoy a glass of prosecco alongside finger sandwiches, mini cakes, truffles and traditional scones. Discover a host of unique twists too, such as a lemon and lavender scone topped with chilli jam and creme fraiche.

The friendly team are on hand to answer any questions and ensure every dining experience at The Yurt is packed with comfort and finery.

Fantastic place, great food, great service and really tasty food

The yurt was amazing place. Just reopened in such a lovely setting. Beautiful gardens with a large yurt. friendly and welcoming owner and staff. Local produced and home grown food on the menu. The sample menu is a good indication of the menu on the day. Food was fantastic with great flavours and cooked to perfection. The tomahawk pork steaks were massive and so tasty. Ribeye steak and chicken were so tasty. Selection of side dishes were very good. Alicia the waitress was so friendly and could not be more helpful and so friendly and welcoming. The owner Priscilla was so lovely discussing her passion of her garden. The grounds are so pretty and local sculptures she has in the garden really add to the atmosphere. The spa looks lovely but did not have any treatments as we went for a family meal. Would recommendation this to anyone who wants excellent food and service in a beautiful setting in the Suffolk countryside.

Underwhelmed

Expected it to be better than it was. Very small menu. Had the bbq meat as main (£19 size), which was a couple of small scrappy bits of meat and a sausage, small spoonful of potato salad and tiny bit of coleslaw. Only the one lady there serving, so a little slow, but she was nice. Sadly, I wouldn't go again.
