Nice pub but slow service and typical of a place run by friends and family who seemed to overrun the bar area.

A fantastic pub with friendly, helpful staff. We visited on a Sunday with our little dog for a roast dinner. The roast was delicious and filling, although we managed room for desserts (sticky toffee and apple crumble). A lovely place to visit

Pre-booked meal for 11 at 12.30pm Sunday before Lavenham Literary Festival session at 2.30pm. Ordered promptly. No food for an hour despite chasing. Starters arrived after a table of 4 who arrived after us were eating. Starters were fine except for a prawn not deveined. Only with advice that we would leave without paying for mains if they didn't arrive in time to be eaten did they come. Roasts with meat were fine (except one meal had no carrots plated) and good selection of (unseasoned) vegetables. Fish choice was awful. Tiny hake portion overcooked and dry with tiny rice beneath. Half the size of the meat dishes. Poor value for £31 including soft drink. Vegetarian version came with gravy despite specific request to be without so further delay while sent back. Tasteless anyway. Bizarrely waiter asked after starters if we needed clean cutlery for main course, implying we could reuse the cutlery from the 1st course. Then she handed out clean ones by the end that touches your food. When asked what crisis there had been in the kitchen or if anyone hadn't turned up for work, this was denied. The explanation was that they had been busier than they expected. It was not busy. Table next to us were served their main course without the starters they had ordered and their bill included the starters they never received.

Really good atmosphere on Saturday evening. Every table full but still plenty of room. Service was first class, one waitress gave a suggestion for ose wine and the tip was spot on. WE went down the tapas route and were not disappointed. Had the chillie garlic prawns, chorizos chips with truffle mayo and meatballs. All nice and hot and very tasty.

We loved the Tapas style menu and chose 5 dishes to share, it was absolutely delicious! Fantastic value for money! The drinks were reasonably priced and the cheesecake was top notch.

No choice on a Sunday unless you have a Sunday Roast. The rest of the party enjoyed their meal. The small plate alternative was OK but I went away hungry. A fish option would have been good. I am afraid I would not recommend.

We dined one evening at the Lavenham Greyhound while staying in Lavenham. Our sense is that this is a former pub that is repackaging itself as a tapas restaurant and wine bar, which is fine. We thought the food was very good and the setting attractive. One thing that kept our experience from being excellent was the somewhat lackluster service. We were in a back area called the "snug," which was indeed cozy, but once ensconced, we rarely saw any server and had virtually no contact with anyone in service. This was a perfectly nice place for a meal, but not quite exceptional.

Disappointing. We ordered a meat board which was pleasant enough but pretty basic which we shared between two people. We then ordered chilli and garlic prawns which was nothing special and pork schnitzel which was tough and dry with tomato sauce. The bottle of wine we ordered came already opened. Not at any time were we asked if everything was ok. We didn’t stay for dessert as we felt that none of the food was made with any passion. Won’t be coming again.

We had a full Sunday lunch with roast pork, potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. My absolute favourite was the cauliflower cheese side. Apple sauce was available and gravy could be separate or additional gravy provided depending on your preferences. It was a good meal and priced well especially as Lavenham eateries are on the pricy side. The staff were efficient and helpful. I would eat here again.

I would definitely go back and if you want a good traditional Roast dinner go to the greyhound.

We went on Easter Sunday for a roast with our daughter and her partner ( 4 in all) - all i can say is that the food was awful - chicken roast was ordered and a beef roast and a so called vegetarian tart - the chicken and beef were tasteless, the roast potatoes were like bullets and probaly frozen, the vegetarian tart was inedible. The staff were not very welcoming, and I witnessed a waitress pick up a yorkshire pudding to place back on someones plate - she was not wearing gloves !! The bill was £100 so not cheap for a main and two ice cream desserts. We will not be repeating the experience .

Booked Sunday lunch here before we departed Lavenham, mostly because they said they could offer a vegan Sunday lunch option and the dog would be welcome. Table was ready immediately even though we were early which was great. Waitress wasn’t overly friendly but came and took our order promptly. When ordering it was clear one of us was vegan but when the food arrived, the vegan dish came with a Yorkshire pudding on the plate, which wasn’t vegan. The cauliflower/broccoli cheese which came with the roasts was brought over shortly after, but again this wasn’t suitable for vegans and no thought went in to offering a plain option of the side dish or offering something else, she just wondered off 🤷🏼♀️. The roast beef was delicious, it was cooked beautifully, and their horseradish sauce is amazing. All in all an ok meal, good feeling about the place but the staff need a little education about what it is to be vegan and to offer some alternatives where possible. Oh, and maybe look to offer doggie roast dinners, they’d go down a storm and there were at least 5 dogs in there when we were there - you’re missing a trick ☺️

We attended the Greyhound Lavenham prior to a concert at Lavenham Church. The whole experience was excellent. We received a warm welcome on arrival, service was efficient and not rushed throughout, the tapas could not be faulted, real ale on tap. They were extremely busy with a full service both pre concert and for the general evening service, they deserve success. Will certainly return.

Absolutely awful service. Made to feel like we were the problem as we perhaps dared to ask for food at lunchtime . Two female staff too interest on their phones to bother serving. Asked a question on what the special was of which the server was going to find out, then she proceeded to serve a regular who she thought she would deal with and have a little chat before returning to tell us what it was. Food absolutely not worth it, came very close to walking out, wish we had. Asked for the bill, it didn’t arrive as again too busy on phone to bring it, so walked to the bar and paid without even being offered a bill to check. Clearly a pub that lives on location rather than customer service. Absolutely not recommend.

Went for tapas on a Saturday afternoon; the food was great and the service was brilliant. We had a large selection of tapas and also 2 sharing boards; all were very tasty. We didn’t try the cocktails but they also had a large selection on the menu and a very extensive drinks list. They lensured we had enough space for a pram and a high chair and even kept our daughter’s teething toy behind the bar for us when we left it behind, and kindly washed our daughter’s bib. We booked because we have had a couple of great roasts here, we will definitely be back again for tapas too!

We were quite disappointed with this restaurant considering it had been recommended to us. I booked early in the day, but we were seated out the back which lacked atmosphere and was a bit cold. The front was much cosier and had a log fire. The food was average and lacked flavour. The garlic and chilli prawns seemed to have no chilli. All 5 dishes we chose came out at once which meant some became cold. My partner wanted dessert, but we didn’t see any wait staff once our first meals were delivered.

Lovely place, but sadly we didn't have the best time. My friend took me there excitedly, saying the food was lovely etc etc... but unfortunately we had to send back 2 of the starters we had, after waiting over an hour, they just weren't what they said they were. When we arrived they told us we could have the table until 2pm (giving us almost 2 hours)... after waiting for so long for a child's meal and 3 starters, we were then told they need the table back. It wasn't very well organised and no one seemed that bothered that we weren't having a very good experience. There was barely even an apology for the inconvenience. I wouldn't recommend it, and my friends that used to go regularly won't recommend it any longer. Sorry for the bad review, but it's better to be honest.

The Greyhound does tapas to the T. The food is excellent, with everything freshly cooked and perfectly executed. We had a mixture of 7 plates consisting of fish, chicken and sides which were all great! I would especially highlight the crab linguine. The atmosphere of the pub is very good and it is also very pretty. As well 7 plates of food we also shared a bottle of wine and a couple of other drinks which came to just over £100, which I think is very well priced considering how good the food was. We will definitely be going back very soon and I would recommend to anyone due to the wide choice of options.

I visited recently on a Wednesday lunchtime to look at the pub where Wall of Death showman George 'Tornado' Smith lived. He had a famous location at the Kursaal, Southend, the largest Fairground in southern England when it opened in 1901. In the early '30's this was the first Wall of Death in the British Isles. 'Tornado' was also famous for his pet lioness which rode on the handlebars of his American Scout motorcycle until it became too large so a sidecar was added!! Locals in Boxford were not surprised to se him walking his pet in the village but I'm sur e it caused consternation along Southend seafront! There are quite a few photos in the delightful pub and what looks like an early advertising sign for the Wall of Death. The pub serves Mauldon cask beer from the excellent brewery in Sudbury. A large coffee machine provides excellent coffee to accompany the lovely cakes on display. Apparently arrangements are being made for cooked food in the evenings to augment the current panini menu. As we were only on a fleeting visit I cannot provide ratings for food etc.and at the time is was quite quiet.

It amazes me how this bar has a decent rating, well, they must be from friends of the bar. The bar is only open part time, and why is that? Because the only people it attracts is the local druggies and lowlifes. You won’t find anyone with any kind of standards drinking here, and trust me, you’ll be surrounded by 16 to 25 year olds. It seems the Ark is happy with this clientele, as the majority of Brantham know it’s known for this kind of thing. This “bar” is a failing business and will continue to be, unless it actually makes the effort with attracting the right customers who will make others comfortable drinking there. This bar is bad news and I would avoid. I have lived in the village for a long time and it’s such a shame, but you hear all kinds of rumours about it. Every time I drive past it seems it’s never open. If you prefer somewhere a little more classy then try the Brantham bull. The Brantham bull makes effort to provide a service for the elderly and actually wants to succeed.
