Phenomenal food and great service. All the dishes I had were incredible with fresh ingredients. Would highly recommend visiting pea and porridge.
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!
Incredible food and service. Undoubtedly worth every penny. Will happily go back again and again and again.
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.
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.
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!!
We have wanted to go here for a long time. Finally got the opportunity last weekend, the food was excellent and well worth the wait.
Will save up and go again, can't wait.
Wonderful service and amazing food.
An imaginative menu coupled with an excellent wine menu provided a top class enjoyable experience.
We had first class attention from one of the charming owners and felt thoroughly spoiled throughout our meal.
Even though we went for the more expensive al a carte option there was an interesting and more affordable set menu option that I will certainly be coming back to try.
Suffolk’s only Michelin starred restaurant… we had to try it. We were not disappointed. Beautiful flavours and amazingly cooked meat and breads. The service was so friendly and chatty too. We had a great time. 100% recommended.
