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.

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.

Weekend away with friends we decided to eat here on our first night.The meal overall was nice and we all enjoyed it but on the small side and with much less salt please .The young waiter was very sarcastic to the point of being rude,perhaps a little training on how to deal with customers would be advisable.Just don’t ask how fresh the fish is !!!

Just returned home from a perfect birthday lunch with my 6 friends at The Secret Garden. The food was delicious, interesting and well presented. Our waitress was delightfully funny, efficient and VERY patient with us as we dithered in making our choices from the menu. The shabby chic ambience added to an all round excellent experience. It has to be simply the best “Ladies that Lunch” venue in Sudbury.

Dinned on a Saturday evening with friends. Excellent menu, cheese for final course best I have had for a long time. Started and main perfect. Staff were great very friendly and welcoming. Service faultless. I will be dining here a lot more.
Cost was for my expectations surprisingly lower than I expected.

A very handy little restaurant (do book) not formal but with excellent food and good weekday deals. Both meat and veggie dishes highly recommended. The specials do tend to sell out but there is often an alternative which is just as good. This is an old building, like most of Sudbury, but is not trying to be over quaint. I first thought it was a bit "ladies who lunch" but it is not, frequently used by local people as a meeting place, laptops not unknown...

Went to The Secret Garden for breakfast on a Saturday. Be warned, it does get busy, but it’s not hard to see why, as it’s the perfect place to go for a light but well-cooked breakfast. The Secret Garden specialises in French food so (not surprisingly!) don’t expect big English breakfasts but something like poached eggs and smoked salmon or there’s a large selection of homemade pastries, scones and cakes etc which are wonderful with their coffee! We also had the smoked grilled herring with a poached egg which was sooo delicious and just what we needed - I have come for lunch in the past too and this is just as nice, again smaller but lovingly made dishes - do recommend!

Brilliant cafe next to restaurant. Friendly staff who couldn’t do more for us. Yummy almond croissant and fabulous coffee with the best pot of loose leaf Earl Grey tea I’ve tasted in a long while. Dog friendly too. Perfect as an introduction to Sudbury.
