Special occasions tend to shine when celebrated at Theobalds Restaurant, a popular dining venue for the residents of the village of Ixworth and even Bury St Edmunds. This charming restaurant is housed in a 16th century building which has been lovingly restored by its owners who have retained the fine woodwork and the original oak beams while still creating a modern dining space that is elegant as well as efficient.

Continuing to serve fresh and delicious fare from the past 28 years, Theobalds brings imaginative menus that rely heavily on local suppliers, ensuring that the food doesn't travel too far to reach your plate. Amongst starters, the lamb's sweetbreads and chestnut mushrooms sautéed with tarragon and served in a crisp pastry case are excellent, while the main course of pan fried fillet of wild sea bass with roast pimentos and olives lives up to its expectations magnificently. A sweet finish comes in the form of baked figs with elderflower ice cream and an eclectic wine list meets your requirements superbly.
