The Crown in Bildeston has been ranked 47th in The Good Food Guide's annual list of Britain's Best 100 Local Pubs, one of four Suffolk establishments included in the annual rankings.

Charlie Buckle, managing director of Nedging Hall Estate, said the team are 'incredibly proud' to stand amongst some of the very best pubs in Britain. He said the pub has 'a brilliant team in place' and is 'really shining', highlighting the 'exceptional' food offering and homegrown produce that sets it apart.

The Crown is known for its 'estate-to-plate' approach, using ingredients grown in its kitchen garden or sourced from the Nedging Hall estate. Its menu features dishes such as smoked venison raviolo, sirloin steak on the bone with Café de Paris mayonnaise, and roast partridge with celeriac tart. Sunday roasts include slow-roasted sirloin of beef and 60-day dry-aged roasted pork loin.

Buckle said the recognition represents 'a real boost' for the team and shows they are 'on the right path'. He stressed the importance of recognising staff from the gardening team to the chefs for their passion and commitment.
