Following the AA Hospitality Awards at the end of September, here is an updated list of all the Suffolk restaurants that hold three or more AA Rosettes for culinary excellence. 

The award recognises the best eateries in the UK with new entries added each year. 

The Angel Inn in Stoke-by-Nayland was awarded three AA Rosettes in February in celebration of its regularly changing menu.

"Restaurants with four AA Rosettes are among the top restaurants in the UK where the cooking demands national recognition," said the AA.
