The Secret Garden Cafe, Wine Bar & Restaurant

Nice, atmospheric restaurant slightly of the beaten track in Sudbury. The lunch was really tasty and well presented. Good service and reasonably priced. They also have the cafe next door if you just want coffee and cake.

An excellent 3 courses lunch at the Secret Garden.
Lots of interesting choices on the set lunch followed by a specially prepared Tart Tatin for Brian's birthday. Great wines to accompany the courses, all rounded off with coffee and delicious home made marsh mallow and fruit jellies.
Wonderful service, as ever.

Four of us went to celebrate my birthday.I had the crab pancake starter which was good. Main course I had the sea bass which was delicious and perfectly cooked. My wife had venison which was also very good. For dessert 2 of us had the raspberry souffle. This souffle was absolutely superb and rounded off an excellent meal. The wine list is extensive and fairly reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this restaurant for that special meal or event.

I have eaten here before and found it excellent. A visit this week for lunch with friends showed that they have not rested on their laurels but simply got even better at what they do best.
We all had two of the 3 courses on offer (a very good lunchtime deal). My steak au poivre was cooked to perfection and the sauce great, a rarity these days. One of my friends had the venison which looked superb and, apparently, tasted as good.The wine list is comprehensive and reasonably priced. We had the Argentinian Malbec and it suited every palette at the table.
Very pleasant and unobtrusive service. A real treat.

This is a great find. The menu choice covered fish, meat and vegan, all homemade to a high standard. Service was impeccable, but friendly too. We managed to turn up and get a table for lunch, but there is a three week wait for a table on Saturdays. Wine choice extensive and nice linen napkins.

We had a very nice lunch, I had the tartiflette which was beautiful and a coffee with a splash of brandy in it. We sat out the back as the front of the café was busy and noisy and the back could do with a lick of paint and some love - its a lovely back room looking out onto a lovely courtyard garden but does need a bit of attention. The tables could do with a white table cloth (as tables quite cheap looking - sorry). Service was excellent, was quick and efficient and friendly. We would come again.

Taken here by friends who visit regularly. Wow! what a surprise to find such authentic French cooking literally on our doorstep. Great service and ambience and wonderful value 3 course set lunch. I had chicken livers with mushrooms on toast with a dash of balsamic, the grilled sea bass fillet on wilted spinach with beurre blanc and a stunning raspberry soufflé with a glass of my favourite Muscat de St Jean de Minervois - delicious. Will visit again soon. Thank you!

We both had the set menu of 3 courses and a cheeseboard. All the food was delicious and the raspberry souffle was the highlight of the meal. We very much enjoyed the cheeseboard of English and French cheeses. The wine was very good - we tried and were impressed by the homemade aperitif!

Although we popped in at a busy time, the staff were welcoming and accommodated us outside in the charming courtyard. We were quickly seen to and our food soon followed. Croc Monsieur was £9 but worth it, and the special goats cheese in filo was certainly special. Our day trip to Sudbury was all the better for this tasty stop-off.

WE were looking at a house nearby and finished just before 3 on a glorious Sunny day. WE went through to their lovely garden seating area and realised they stopped serving lunch at 2.30. When we asked about what wa available one of the charming staff checked and said the kitchen were happy to make us lunch. SO WELCOMING AND the food was great. A delight , I look forward to returning .

We had a very warm welcome. The service was excellent and the food delicious. We opted for the three course meal which was a bargain to say the least. The restaurant would be a regular haunt if we lived in the area. We highly recommend the restaurant for dinner if you are staying in Sudbury. It is probably a good idea to book a table in advance. Thank you.

This is a lovely little restaurant where the staff are welcoming and attentive without being over bearing. Food is very well prepared. The fixed price 3 or 2 course meals are a good. I would suggest booking is essential and a visit would not be disappointing.

An excellent lunch in a wonderful old building in the centre of Sudbury. The food service and ambience were all great and we couldn't fault it. We have lived in the area for nearly 10 years and I don't know why we haven't been before but we will certainly be back. It is also very good value for money.

We weren't able to to book but were welcomed in by the owner. We really only wanted a snack but were glad we stayed for a full meal which was delicious. The fish (we had sea bass and salmon) was cooked to perfection as was the samphire and beans. I don't eat the skin on sea bass but have to say that it was so, so good that even that disappeared off the plate. Not expensive either and really good service.

Unexpected little gem, lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Very welcoming. The menu is not run-of-the-mill it is refreshingly different.

We came here quite late and the member of staff working was so accommodating. The food was so delicious and we all said it was one of the best meals we have ever had. 3 of the party had steaks and I had the vegetarian soufflé which was incredible! I would definitely recommend coming here I just wished we lived closer as it would become a regular visit for us if it weren’t 3 hours away!

We dined here last night for my fathers birthday, we simply had the most amazing evening! The cocktails were delicious, service was second to none, everyone had a smile on their faces and all know what they were doing!
We had the crab, duck saladx2 and the roulade for starters which were all amazing and so full of flavour, followed by two lamb and two beef. The lamb was cooked to utter perfection, it was one of the best meals we’ve had out in a very long time! They then bought out my dads birthday cake making sure he was totally unaware which is exactly what I asked for.
We will 100% be returning what a fabulous evening. Thankyou to all the staff :)

My partner and I enjoyed one of the best meals we’ve ever had at the weekend. The lamb was especially delicious as was the thyme ice cream with the chocolate fondant, the little sponge & jam at the end was genius! Good wine, service & value for money too..We could eat at this place every day.

Stephan and the team gave us a lovely wedding meal in their upstairs function room.
The food was fantastic, selected with the chef, not just from the standard menu. The team were very willing to accommodate extra needs, such as dietary requirements and a guest suffering on a surprisingly warm June day.We could not have asked for more. Thank you.
