Painters Of Sudbury Sudbury - Babergh

High tea, 2 vegans, 2 non-vegans. What a lovely spread, well thought out and no token gestures for the vegan menu. Decent pot of tea and lovely friendly service. We have breakfast at Painters sometimes so this was a new experience, equally as high a standard as the breakfasts!

Friendly atmosphere in a lovely old building with lots of space with a French feel. Eclectic mix of furnishings from big leather sofas to small oak tables. Staff are fab, dogs accepted and the food of high quality and great value. Outstanding

2 of us popped in for a cuppa and brunch. ordered 2 pots of tea, 1 scramble egg and salmon, 1 scramble egg and avocado. Welcome was cool although seemed annoyed we had no reservation but there were tables available. Service was ok, place was noisy and busy (assumed this was a good sign) . tea served in pots with china cups and saucers, nice touch food took a while, and was disappointing, 2 slices of cheap sliced bread toasted, spoon full of scramble which was over cooked and browned. my friend had small amount of avocado and my salmon was slimy and i think cheap. We are not big eaters so didnt mind small portion, hence we didnt order full breakfasts. i would not have written a poor review, however, the Final bill £28.30?! When i checked the bill i had been charged for 2 x £4.15 avocado on toast, and 2 x £1.20 egg, 1 x smoked salmon £5.50, 1 x scramble egg £6.90 I queried this which was dealt with loudly and embarrassingly. Basically they would not accept their mistake but when the waitress asked 'would you like 2 slices or 1)? This doubles the price of your whole dish! Beware! I suggested people should be warned when ordering that your dish price will go from £4.15 to £8.30 for the extra slice! clearly a mistake but was told this is due to the cost of living going up, by an impolite antipodean lady. Since when did 1 slice of toast cost £4.15! I am really cross with myself that i paid the bill as it was with hindsight, and definitely would not return here when Sudbury has so many lovely cafe 's for brunch, we eat out a lot and happy to pay the going rate but this was ridiculous pricing. I would hope the proprietor will review this and the receipt attached in photos and at least admit a mistake was made

Had a very nice breakfast here with colleagues on the way to a funeral. The food was beautifully done and the waitress was very helpful (not sure if her name but I think she had a South African accent). Lovely surroundings and cute tea cosy on the teapots!

We visited Painters as a family of 12 for a post-Xmas gathering and it was the perfect venue. They were so accommodating of such a big group and didn’t make us feel like we were an inconvenience at all despite the fact we took up so much space and must had made for a tricky time in the kitchen The food was delicious, all coming out hot, correct and perfectly cooked. The staff were welcoming, warm and friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend
