Eating Out: There is a great country pub, The Turks Head, in the village of Hasketon is just a 3 minute drive by car. Having undergone major refurbishment, the pub/restaurant is much loved by locals and visitors for its welcoming atmosphere and, of course, great food. There is also a marvellous choice of restaurants, pubs and takeaways in nearby Woodbridge. The Unruly Pig at Bromeswell is also one to try for those with a good appetite and an appreciation of fine cuisine, having won a handful of foodie awards in the past couple of years. Another gastro pub worth visiting is the Grundisburgh Dog just a couple of miles from the cottage; nice food and good local beers.

Woodbridge Farmers Marketis held every second and fourth Saturday of the month; a great place to stock up on locally-sourced produce. A regular market is also held in Woodbridge every Thursday, and there are plenty of good farm shops just a short drive away, the closest being Grange Farm Shop, Hasketon.
