Hidden in the Suffolk countryside by the river, Alder Carr pairs an award-winning farm shop and butchery with an oak-barn cafe, a clutch of craft units and a windmill dating to 1796; its soft fruit and fruit cream ices are the signature. Fold a stop into a wider day out, taking in the village of Coddenham nearby or the Tudor gardens of Helmingham Hall a little further east.
