Oh, my! What a wonderful place to eat. It would be very difficult to top Pea Porridge in Suffolk. We visited on Friday evening and had a very warm welcome. No need to look at the menu as the day’s specials sounded ideal. Everything was sourced locally, even down to the Bury St Edmunds brewed beer… neither of the big local breweries, but a very fine ale called Ale Hambra.
The complimentary sourdough bread and pea hummus was a fine prelude for what was to come: caramelised hand dived scallops with samphire 👌🏻 perfection. The lobster main was sublime with samphire and paprika chips. And for desert, just a light meringue with pistachio custard to cleanse the palate.
The food was beyond compare, the service was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was like being in your favourite dining room. We will return!

Phenomenal food and great service. All the dishes I had were incredible with fresh ingredients. Would highly recommend visiting pea and porridge.
Incredible food and service. Undoubtedly worth every penny. Will happily go back again and again and again.
Lovely restaurant & for a Michelin star it's affordable.
The only reason I booked to go here was due to the star.
Overall a lovely little restaurant but whilst the food was great there wasn't a "wow" factor to the food that I would expect from a Michelin star.

Fantastic meal at Pea Porridge, the staff were amazing, great reccomendation on wine. Food was stunning (all dishes, but particulalry the Quail!) and delicious. North African flavours done brilliantly. Make sure that you order the flat breads!!
Small restaurant with food that you would not normally taste elsewhere. The menu changes frequently and you definitely need reservations. The enjoyable part was in tasting meats that are not common. From the outside and inside too, with bare wooden tables, it looks like nothing much. But the food is fantastic. Two ladies efficiently took care of the service.
A lovely, cosy restaurant. The staff are friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu and offer advice on wine pairings.
The food is superb, top notch ingredients and the chef lets them speak for themselves. Rustic, but refined in style with bold punchy flavours, we loved every bite of our meal here.
Highly recommended this place, we're looking forward to going back soon.

For wheelchair users: When we visited (Sep 2021) they had a ramp, but it is unsafe to use. I have notified the restaurant, but if you intend to visit there I recommend calling in advance and seeing if they have managed to replace their ramp yet before booking - I'm sure their staff will be happy to help! You need to add a note on bookings for a specific table anyway for wheelchairs. We used our own ramps, somewhat marred the experience - otherwise would have been 5 stars!
Once IN the restaurant though, food was excellent! We had a brilliant time - everything beautifully and unfussily presented, very generous portions (we definitely ordered too much) and absolutely delicious! A few dishes slightly salty to my taste, but this was more the dish design itself than the cooking. A great place for a special occasion, but the set lunch menu (which some of our table ordered) was great value too.
Would love to visit again!
