The Orchard Room - Mid Suffolk

Why anyone would choose to call a cafe Tickety Boo is beyond me but the food is good and you don't eat the name! Very strange and off putting style where they take your money before you eat which meant we didn't order any cake after our meal as we couldn't be bothered to queue and pay all over again. None of the diners I've seen in here look like the type that would run off without paying! Despite this the food really was excellent and I will be back for more.

Situated in a rambling garden centre, very rural with an orchard and hens running around. We have been there twice for coffee and cakes which were very nice. We understand the dinners are exceptional but as yet we have not had dinner there.

Excellent roast chicken lunch with great flavours fresh veg from the garden. Young chef did great, waitresses could've been more attentive.

Sitting outside nest to an orchard with the countryside and chickens for company. Breakfast of bacon and eggs on a toasted muffin delicious. Highly recommend.

Summary ..... nothing is too much trouble for the staff at The Orchard Room.I took my son, daughter in law and two of my grandchildren there today for lunch.My son and daughter in law had never been there before and I think they wondered why on earth I felt there was somewhere nice to go in Thurston for lunch! However, they were very very pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.We all enjoyed brilliant service from the staff team and fantastic freshly prepared food. We have absolutely nothing negative to say about our experience. The environment is perfect ... lovely views out into the orchard with the chickens, warm, comfortable, calm and relaxing.We enjoyed a very leisurely lunch taking about 2 hours in total which suited us absolutely fine. We were not hurried along and the staff were very happy to go at our speed.We went for a lovely walk in the grounds before and after our lunch, played with the resident dog and my granddaughter was given some bread to feed the chickens which she thoroughly enjoyed.Thank you very much to all the staff at The Orchard Room from us all a perfect lunch.
