It is some time since we visited the Secret Garden in Sudbury. This as a quaint little place only a couple of minutes walk from the Market Hill and yes it really does have a secret garden!
At lunch we had the choice of a few daily specials (typically grilled sea bass) or a tempting selection of light lunch items. I particularly enjoyed the smoked chicken with assorted dressed leaves and my wife loved her avocado and crayfish on baby spinach with a passionfruit and chilli dressing.
The home made bread (hot from the oven at noon!) with real butter, was simply sensational.
Maybe we should keep it a secret?

We often pop into the Secret Garden for coffee - mainly when it's sunny so we can bask in the "secret" garden at the back of the tea rooms. Very friendly staff and some great food on offer - not particularly cheap nor eye wateringly expensive. It's great to hear the French accent of (I believe) one of the owners who it is, I assume, offers French tuition as a side line to the business!

I really like the standard of cooking here.not pretentious French cuisine more rustic .
Please offer more than one meat main because the one choice often sells out leaving only a vegetarian main. When I walk in and see the meat dish rubbed off the black board , I am embarrassed having to leave as I am not into vegetarian options.Service can be very slow.

Superb but unfussy French food, with wonderful owner led service. Always reliable. Book on a Friday lunchtime though!

Very good service, seating in or out and lovely food, and drink. Little bit pricy but then no noisy children or rude customers spoiling it for others.

This place never disappoints! The food is glorious and service good. I took a friend here for lunch, she was suitably impressed.

Went to the secret garden for a meal for our wedding anniversary lived near Sudbury for 15 years and never knew this place existed but found it to be a hidden gem they had a change of Chef
just the day before and worried the standards may have dropped but if they had it must have been very special before as we had a really lovely meal and well priced the service was great and the lady who owns the restaurant was very keen that all the diners were enjoying themselves we will definately go back soon anyone thinking of going should think about booking in advanced as it is small with only a few tables which makes it feel quite exclusive

Four of us went in for an evening meal and it was superb. Between us we ordered most of what was on the limited menu - and were all agreed that it was rustic French cusine at its very best. Asked Stefan the owner to choose a suitable wine for us and that too was perfect. Small, cosy and relaxed atmosphere with a very friendly welcome and attentive staff. Booking for evening meals is essential. Price reflects the quality of food and wine.
