A lovely experience. Such friendly staff including mine host. The quality and range of food were excellent. Used extensively by local residents which proves its success.

Our first visit to this first class restaurant set in a stunning old beamed building in the lovely town of Sudbury. There is parking on the street on the market sqaure just a few minutes walk away. I could write a long glowing description but all I am going to say is that it was excellent in every aspect.

We called into the Secret Garden whilst visiting Sudbury for the first time, having looked at other dog friendly eateries we found this treasure just off the main area of town
Really friendly greeting and efficient service, even an individual bowl of water for our small dog
The food was beautifully prepared and served, pork pate with side salad and home cooked sourdough bread, and also mackerel pate with horseradish served on sourdough with side salad
A peaceful location although busy with an lovely menu, we will return - thank you all đź‘Ť

As always, our trip to The Secret Garden was a delight.
A warm welcome, friendly and professional service. A relaxed ambience and, of course, delicious food, accompanied by a lovely wine.
The Secret Garden’s secret lies in the reliability and consistency of its delivery of a high quality all-round experience.
What a delicious, delightful way to spend over two hours on a Friday afternoon. Thankyou.

Daughter’s ordered an afternoon high tea for five of us. Was seated very quickly and our sandwich orders were taken. The service to bring us drinks was a little slow, but that said it was extremely busy in there. Once we had received our pots of tea and sandwiches which were absolutely delicious, we were brought out two cake stands filled with scones, cakes and macaroons all of which was fresh and delicious. There was so much left that we all brought boxes home with us. There was so young man that served our table was very smiley and polite. Lovely place to go out too. Thank you all for such a super experience. Will be returning very soon.

Third time we have been there this year and TBH it would seem they have a new chef. Our meals were only OK. I had a the special rib eye steak which although tasted great it was only 1/4 inch thick and I needed dessert to fill me up.
With so many great restaurants near by they need to spend a bit more time on presentation and delivery.
This was the first time that no one asked if everything was OK with meal, perhaps they knew it was not the usual standard. We will go back and give them one more chance as it has been good previoulsy.

After reading the reviews we were dissappointed. Staff were friendly but the food was mediocre and my steak @ÂŁ35 was more like a minute steak than the nice rib eye I expected. It was delivered on a bed of soggy, not cripsy, sliced potatoe and onion. The steak was tasty just not a lot of it. The wifes crayfish salad looked like it had been thrown on to the plate and didnt look apetizing at all.
Creme brule was bitter as sugar was over done, the colour gave it away, black not golden brown.
Was quite busy and nice atmospere just didnt meet up to expectaions.

This is the second time we have eaten at The Secret Garden in the evening and both times we have been impressed with the quality of the food, the very friendly service and the lovely laid back atmosphere. We had three courses and loved the food - very delicious. We will be back another time!
