Here are five of the county's quirkiest places to eat and drink which we think you should try.

Dine in style on this 1899 Belgian gun boat which has been transformed into a stunning restaurant serving an array of delicious dishes from its Ipswich Neptune Quay location.

The café resembles a tropical jungle oasis with comfy seating and serving plenty of cakes, scones and snacks.

The Secret Garden, Sudbury

It also offers two stunning function rooms available to hire for events.
