"I took my mother here for her birthday for afternoon tea. The waitress and the waiter were absolutely lovely. The afternoon tea was really nice apart from the coffee not being very hot. It all went down hill when the bar maid accused me of lying!! I have never experienced such poor attitude and behaviour towards a customer. She continued to raise her voice arguing with me, whilst trying to provoke me, until another customer approached and then she tried to back track on her actions. She had absolutely no customer service or communication skills, and no knowledge of how to resolve problems effectively. Such a disappointment, as she completely ruined the first impression and experience we had up until that point. No customer should have to endure that behaviour and feel they need to justify themselves. Really poor."

"A group of 9 visited for the Sunday buffet for a double Birthday celebration. We requested an additional seat at very short notice which was actioned immediately. The service, friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The food, plentiful and tasty. A lovely afternoon full of fab company, conversation and celebration with delicious Chinese food. Buffet included starters, mains and desserts. I provided celebratory cakes and candles that came out as requested with candles. Free parking in Stowmarket car parks on Sundays an added bonus. We had our table from midday and left around 14.45. We are all looking forward to another visit and will certainly book again in the future .

"Had a lovely lunch here in Nov 2023. The food was great and there was a good variety on the menu. We had a two course meal with a drink for about £25 per person. The beer battered fish and chips were devine. Dogs are allowed in the bar area but not the restaurant area. Vegetarian options: There were multiple vegetarian options, including a lovely goats cheese pie Parking: The pubs car park has a good number of spaces and there is some street parking for 3 or 4 cars directly outside. Wheelchair accessibility: The pub is on a slope. The carpark surface is hard but a little uneven, should be OK for wheelchair access. The front of the pub has a decked area for outside sitting and this includes a ramp to the entrance. Inside the pub there are no internal doors in the restaurant area and there's room to manoeuvre a wheelchair. Toilet access is OK but not you do need to go through a door to access it."

"You absolutely must try their pancakes at least once! The gluten-free options are amazing. The atmosphere is wonderful, with plenty of space and extremely family-friendly. It's definitely worth a visit, although I always end up overeating because everything is so delicious!"

"I visited yesterday and had the mushrooms on sourdough, which were delicious, hot, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. However, my partner found his ham, egg, and chips to be quite unsatisfactory. I must admit, it didn't look appealing at all. His eggs were overcooked, the ham was only warm, and the portion size was on the small side. He didn't want to complain since we were with family and prefers not to make a fuss, but later he regretted not speaking up. We dined here last year, and he had the ham, egg, and chips then, which he found much better. My cousin ordered the loaded fries, which looked amazing, but it was disappointing that they only offered it with bacon and chicken. I believe Alder Carr is missing an opportunity here; I'm sure non-meat eaters would appreciate a vegetarian option if it were available."
