For six years Watson and Walpole, a stylish neighbourhood restaurant in Framlingham, has been delighting local customers with its authentic Italian food. Rob Walpole, head chef and co-director, makes superb pasta in the dedicated pasta room every day, and the wood-oven also plays a key part in the cooking. Seasons are respected and local produce is used as often as possible — olives are yet to grow in Suffolk. Favourite dishes include burrata with wood-roasted grapes and hazelnuts, beef fillet carpaccio, agnolotti alla Gricia, gnocchi with Byzantine crab salsa, pappardelle with beef shin ragù and scallops with delica passata and ‘nduja — not to mention the most glorious boozy tiramisu spooned out at the table.
Just as importantly, the service is friendly, informed and professional. The point of a restaurant is for guests to eat good food, yes, but also to relax and thoroughly enjoy themselves.
