The cafe is a delight, but the new restaurant is sublime. The food is delicious, coupled with fabulous and friendly service, gorgeous wines that compliment and a relaxed and stylish venue all help to make the dining experience second to none. I definately recommend it ☺

The Secret Garden has been around for many years and is good for coffee and lunch and has been open some evenings. However we now have a really first class restaurant run by the same people two doors down. Lovely old beamed building and the food is outstanding. We ate Venison Pate with chutney and baby leaves, and a Salsify mousse, followed by Roast Guinea Fowl with roast potatoes and pearl barley, and Wild Boar on mashed potato and red cabbage, All absolutely delicious. My only criticism is that there ought to be a few cheaper dishes as not everyone wants to spend over £10 for a starter and about £20 for a main course. Likewise there could be some alternative cheaper wines. I do hope this new venture does well, as it deserves to.

Having heard how good the Secret Garden cafe was, I decided to have an evening meal for two at their restaurant. I only booked a table the night before and they went out of their way to make one available.
The service was so friendly and the food was excellent. I would not suggest that you go there if you want a massive plate of food, but if you want nice portions, out of the ordinary dishes and good wines then I can think of no better place near Sudbury.I will certainly be going again and would have no hesitation in recommending this.

Made very welcome at champagne reception. Initially portions seemed small but over 7 courses we left very satisfied. Inclusive wine choices were carefully chosen and well matched although we felt the Chateauneuf du pape overwhelmed the venison dish. The Jerusalem artichoke soup was amazing. All beautifully presented and served in a very efficient and friendly manner. Given the fact the function room was 2 flights up narrow stairs the waiters did an amazing job. Our first visit to the new restaurant although previously been to the original. Will definitely be returning. Thank you to all involved.

Having eaten several times in the old one I was keen to try the new wine bar and fine dining restaurant which opened a couple of months ago. It did not disappoint. The food was excellent and so was the service. It may be a little more expensive than other places but it is excellent value for money. Top marks to the team, I will be back.

I have dined at The Secret Garden before and enjoyed it very much. I decided to take my husband for a birthday celebration lunch to the new setting into which The Secret Garden have recently moved.
The dining room is both elegant and comfortable ; the service is very efficient while being friendly and attentive . The food was splendid....thoughtfully and imaginatively prepared . We passed a most enjoyable time here and will certainly be coming again very soon.

Our 1st time at the new Secret Garden Wine Bar & Restaurant. Made really welcome in the downstairs wine bar, then upstairs to the new fine dining room. Food and service very good if a little pricey by Sudbury standards, but deserves more patrons.

We had eaten at the Secret Garden's tea room before and so were delighted to hear that they have opened a restaurant next door. In today's climate this is always a risk but are we pleased they took it!
With an emphasis on the friendly and personal service in their tea room, the French owners have created a truly fine place to dine.Entente Cordiale at its best.My partner does not eat meat so was delighted with the attention to detail in her Beetroot Goat's Cheese Mousse and Cauliflower chick pea 'socca'(a crepe). My preference for meat was answered fully. A Wild Boar 'Hummus' followed by the tastiest slow-cooked soy glazed rib of beef I can remember. We both had Grapefruit and Grand Marnier Mousse for desert and it was simply gorgeous. Our only complaint that we were provided with a pudding spoon when a small one would have done. But if that's our only concern........
Service was discreet and attentive. Value for money was excellent considering the high quality of everything.Long overdue in Sudbury. A great find!

We booked our work function here after a few of us had eaten lunch next door. We had a good choice set menu, upstairs in a great private dining room, which takes up to 50 I think.
The food was just excellent, every course as good at the last. I really cannot think of many other places where I have eaten a better meal. Great fresh produce, very tasty.
It's also worth mentioning just how welcome and helpful the staff were. Thanks guys!
