We're excited to announce our latest competition, in partnership with The Bildeston Crown, a 15th-century pub and restaurant with rooms in the Suffolk countryside. Part of the nearby Nedging Hall Estate, it's a foodie destination with a relaxed vibe, where the menu celebrates the seasons using ultra-local ingredients.
The lucky winner will receive a one-night dinner, bed and breakfast stay for two people, enjoying the likes of grilled and crispy plaice with pickled apple, treacle-cured pork shoulder with pea puree, or slow roast celeriac with walnut and pear. Come morning, choose from eggs any which way, a Full English or something lighter like granola with coconut yoghurt and berries. And the bedrooms? They come in all shapes, sizes and designs, with characterful features like wooden beams.
There are country walks in every direction, and Lavenham and Long Melford are just a short drive away, making it the perfect base for exploring this quiet, picturesque and historic part of Suffolk.
Check out The Bildeston Crown's listing here, then enter the competition below.
Good luck!
