The Crown at Woodbridge

Picture-perfect food, cocktail bar and 10 hotel rooms.

Set in the heart of east Suffolk’s riverside market town, The Crown at Woodbridge has a large bustling cocktail bar and restaurant plus a sun trap terrace for al fresco drinking and dining and ten chic, hotel rooms above.

Picture-perfect food is served in the restaurant created by Head Chef Sci Daniels, a MasterChef: The Professionals finalist. Experience his innovative take on classic breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes as well as his afternoon tea menu (pre-booking only for afternoon tea). Each dish is uniquely designed and developed making your meal great fun and memorable.

The restaurant comprises a series of smaller, interlinking dining rooms giving tables a degree of intimacy, particularly in the evening when dining by candlelight. There’s also a private dining room, which can comfortably seat 20 guests.

A popular social hub, the bar area was once an open courtyard; its now covered with a high, glass roof adding light and a unique atmosphere. An original Suffolk wooden Windermere Skiff rowing boat hangs above, perhaps once used by local fishermen on the river Deben.

The 10 chic ensuite bedrooms have been styled by London designer David Bentheim using calming neutral and coastal colours along with quirky touches and a variety of textures including painted wood, natural willow and wool.

Dogs are welcome with their owners in the bar area and outside terrace (but regret there are no dog friendly rooms to stay overnight).
