The Ram - Brandon

darren M.

Visited the area owing to a reasonably spontaneous requirement to be in Suffolk and to be brutally honest, we chose the Ram Inn purely on price.....and wow, what a great find it was.

The building is a fine mix of pub and accommodation upstairs, ...with a vignette of a caravan park behind.

As a consequence of through traffic and regular 'puntership', the menu is good value and the food plentiful and well cooked by friendly staff.

Beer and wine were both very reasonable in price and had it not been for the threat of a second day of 7 hours on the road I am sure we'd have stayed longer in the bar.

Accommodation is more than adequate and both clean and well provided for.... The toiletries are a nice touch, as was the towels and tea facilities.... More expensive alternatives could most certainly learn from the Ram Inn.

Well done. A nice friendly hotel. Well worth the price.

Summary. It's not the Ritz. But as value for money goes. You'd struggle to beat it.

Hi I don't normally leave negative reviews....but this time I feel like I had no choice
1 we arrived at the Ram hotel at 8.30 pm after being awake since 4am very tired and ready for a shower and an early night....well this didn't happen room wasn't even ready for us.....pub was extremely loud as they were having a karaoke night.... eventually we got into our room across the Rd (Brandon house) but we're unable to sleep due to extreme noise from karaoke which went on very late into the night well over legal time
2 we thought Sunday evening would be better as it was a Sunday boy were we wrong noise from pub went on till 1.30 am.....so no sleep again
3 smell of weed everywhere in (Brandon house
4 doors slamming very loud all through the night
So my conclusion is I wouldn't stay here again.....even if it was free

Terrible. The room was filthy, the carpet had probably never been hoovered let alone cleaned, the teaspoon in the coffee cups was unwashed after the last person used it for coffee and, worst of all, the toilet had been very used and left unflushed! It was £70 without breakfast. The noise from the bar went on till late and we were woken at 5am by people accessing the cupboard next to our room. Seriously - just stay somewhere else!

Very friendly staff always make you feel welcomed I take my two dogs in and all the customers say hello to the dogs and myself I've eaten in the ram on a few occasions and the food is definitely made from the heart by the chef who if it's quiet will come out and chat with the customers. As for recommending anything of the menu I highly recommend the steak pie the pieces of meat in it are so soft they melt in the mouth

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch at The Ram! Their service was lovely and the Steak & Abbot Ale pie was delicious.

So from the outside this place looks a bit tired and seems quite heavily used on the inside. There is also the familiar smell of stale beer but to be expected with a busy pub.
The service was friendly but I have to say the food was a bit of a big surprise. Very well done and presented and tasted good. They also had kid friendly and veggie options but the chicken Nd rib combo was great. If I am in the area again I will revisit for that home made burger.
