We dined here on a Friday night and there was a bit of noise from the bar area that made it difficult to hear sometimes... More

It was a busy Saturday night and the chattering classes of Sudbury were out in force. It was popular and felt crowded as the tables were quite close together and people were drinking at the bar area. We had high hopes as it was the top recommended place to eat on TripAdvisor, but we'd eaten in the Secret Garden the... More

David Thompson's Deli Cafe, adjoining Thompson's Bistro, has always been an excellent place for a coffee and a cake, and its produce has always shared the exceptional standards of its neighbour Bistro. But now there is breakfast! David's smoked salmon and scrambled egg on an English muffin is at least as good as its counterparts in Bury St Edmunds restaurants,... More

I met up with some friends at Thompson's Bistro last Friday lunchtime. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was very good and excellent value for money and well cooked. A good place to eat and drink in the heart of Sudbury

Visited on a Saturday evening never been before but I had read the good reviews and decided to give it a go. It's a small but varied menu and the small number of dishes almost guarantees that it will be good and it was. Between the 4 of us we sampled a large proportion of the menu and we al... More

We had dinner on Valentine's night and had a wonderful evening. Low key - but a red rose and champers for the females.

This family run place is friendly and welcoming, and they make you feel able to relax and enjoy the good food & wine. The menu is limited and always features... More
