Dipping its toes in the River Deben waters near Woodbridge, sits the beautiful The Maybush - Waldringfield, one of the Deben Inns venues 🥰
Given these cold months, it can take a bit of convincing to venture out and about, but this cosy corner of heaven makes a winter’s evening out an easy decision to make. With a crackling, warm fire burning and comfy window seats, The Maybush is the perfect combination of modern and mellow.
Beginning with starters, you have to be a real fish person to love that crispy, deep-fried white bait, but the batter and sauce that come with it could tickle anyone’s taste buds. The prawns are meaty and beautifully flavoured while the anti-pasti platter of buffalo mozzarella, olives, sundried tomatoes, pesto and toasted ciabatta gave a little taste of Italy. I’m afraid I can’t comment on the nachos - they were devoured in seconds by the children. That’s always a good sign. It was a pleasure to see the children enjoy their food so much, which always gives a restaurant a few extra stars in their crown from the viewpoint of parents.
The main course was just as delicious; from juicy burgers in brioche buns and cheese platters to wild mushroom linguine in a rich cream sauce and warm crispy garlic bread. Though thoroughly satiated at this point, we couldn’t leave with trying those amazing deserts - and ‘amazing’ is really an understatement! From chocolate brownies and lemon mousse, to blackberry fool with whipped, almond cream, blackberry compote, digestive biscuit and tuille wafers.
The food was cooked to perfection, and while always simple, the chef’s extra special touch, the beautiful presentation, friendly staff, cozy interior and stunning surroundings, this reasonably priced restaurant gives the air of something very special.
Ah yes, we do love a bit of Maybush! 😄
