Private tea parties

The Restaurant @ Suffolk Food Hall enjoys a spectular view of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just south of Ipswich, and has become the go-to venue to celebrate any of life’s joyous occasions – baby showers, birthdays, wedding breakfasts and thanksgiving teas, for example. With a warm and inviting ambience, The Restaurant offers the perfect setting to honour celebrants, nuptials, expectant parents and all guests.

For example, embracing the tradition of celebrating a hen party or baby shower with elegance and style, we recommend our indulgant afternoon tea. Guests are treated to a delightful assortment of delectable pastries, finger sandwiches, fruit scones with cream and jam and freshly brewed teas – all in an atmosphere of relaxation and celebration.

Table games are welcome and we encourage decorations (just no confetti please) with space for small intimate celebrations or larger gatherings.
