What makes our pub fabulous

Here’s a list of all the wonderful things that make our cherished 15th century restaurant with rooms just that little bit special... 

Home grown local sourced dishes

The garden team at Nedging Hall and our talented chefs work hand in hand to create an incredible dining experience in our restaurant. We want everyone to understand where their food comes from and we’re continually looking to expand the Nedging Hall Kitchen Garden. We will be able to pick asparagus from our second crop soon and this will be the first summer we’ll be growing very special Roscoff onions.

A Drink or two 

At The Crown, we offer an array of wines and locally sourced beers. Mauldon’s Brewery crafts traditional real ales, in fact, some of Suffolk's finest. Or you might like to settle down with a cup of tea or coffee in our cosy armchairs in the quirky surrounds of our Paddock Bar. The choice is yours!

Great people 

It’s the people at The Crown that make us shine. A team who are always welcoming and willing to go above and beyond. Our chefs strive to show off their expertise, creating dishes that can be enjoyed time and time again. We’re eager to listen and share; you'll always find a friendly face behind the bar.

A beautiful spot 

Just step out the door and it's as though you’ve entered the landscape of an oil painting. The countryside of Suffolk is not something you’d want to miss. In Spring, lambs remind us of our historical wool trade. Summer fills us with longer, warmer days to enjoy our terraces. Autumn is a chance to see all the colours of our ancient woodland, and finally what better than a log fire in a cosy pub in the Winter months. It’s all here. 

A charming village

You’ll find us in the historic village of Bildeston, Suffolk. A lovely rural community with a market square and village spirit in abundance.

In the heart of the Suffolk countryside and the perfect base to explore local market towns, Lavenham, Long Melford, Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds, as well as Constable Country.

Spaces for al fresco dining 

When the weather is gorgeous, who wants to stay inside? We've got terraces and courtyards that allow you to soak up the great outdoors. Dine our seasonal menus, drink or simply sit and soak up the wonderful atmosphere in the humble village of Bildeston. 

Rooms with wow 

The rooms at The Crown have genuine character. Each of the en-suite bedrooms have been classically designed with unique features. Our beds are so comfy you won’t want to leave.

A Good Breakfast 

What is better than to wake up to after a good night's rest than a freshly cooked Suffolk breakfast. Begin the day with an energising breakfast, then head out and explore the wonderful local area.

Owned and managed by Nedging Hall Estate, The Crown sits proudly on the high street. Guests come back again and again for our excellent food, warm hospitality, and extensive drinks menu. We think it’s all this and more that makes us a pub and restaurant to remember.
