The Brewers Rattlesden

Inspected by Visit England Logo
Visit England Logo Inspector comments
"Charming village eatery saved by locals."
Overview
Saved from dereliction by local village families, The Brewers Rattlesden is a grand old pub that’s now very much an eating place. There are several dining rooms, with wood tables, colourful padded chairs, a wood floor, exposed brickwork and original beams. The kitchen team deliver strong, memorable flavours using local produce.

About the area
Suffolk is Constable country, where the county’s crumbling, time-ravaged coastline spreads itself under wide skies to convey a wonderful sense of remoteness and solitude. Highly evocative and atmospheric, this is where rivers wind lazily to the sea and notorious 18th-century smugglers hid from the excise men
