A few of us decided to visit this pub instead of our local. Nice surprise, lovely place, quirky, warm, friendly and inviting. We didnt eat but the next time, we will. The food looked really good, decent size portions (full plates not quarter size) and very reasonable prices. When we finally found some chairs (place was very busy) we were... More

Like many others I've frequented this pub for a number of years albeit rather infrequently. On this occasion a business colleague and I fancied somewhere cheap and cheerful and the Sorrel Horse Inn was literally equidistant from where we lived. Homely atmosphere and very popular it's hard to find pubs as good as this. The menu has all the favourites... More

I have been visiting this pub at least once a year for over 30 years, and I live over 200 miles away. Whenever I travel to Suffolk, I aim to get there for lunch. It has slowly evolved over time, but stayed great. I've never stayed there, so cannot comment on the accommodation, but the beer cellar is well kept,... More

We were travelling as a family of 3 with 2 dogs, so trying to find half decent lodgings that accepts dogs was a challenge, but I came accross the Sorrel Horse which had a vacancy, it was... More

We went in late March, a Sunday lunch booked in advance for 9 people, including 3 children 12, 8 and almost 4. We were seated quickly and soon gave our orders but waited over an hour for the food to arrive. The children's meals were served last of all, they were extremely fed up by this point and when the...

We took my dad here for Fathers Day and it all started out well. The bar staff were very friendly and helpful and the beer was good. Unfortunately the food was not so good. Out of the 4 meals ordered 2 had to be returned as the "sizzling plates" were too hot for the steaks which ended up like shoe... More
