Number Ten Wine Bar and Kitchen in Babergh

A delicious meal served by charming staff in a beautiful period building.

We had a wonderful meal with friends, a private room and the food and staff were all fantastic. Will definitely be back.

A wonderful restaurant in Lavenham. Great food, friendly and attentive staff, cosy atmosphere. We definitely recommend you dine here.

Sunday roast heaven, lovely atmosphere and great staff.

Cosy restaurant serving great food. The team were fantastic, and it genuinely felt like they are happy to work there. You will need to book in advance to ensure a table. Well done No10.

A lovely Sunday lunch. Although short staffed everything was excellent

Three of us had Sunday lunch here after a recommendation. I can only say it was the best experience for years. Greeted at the door in a friendly manner by the staff and asked if we wanted some pre-drinks at the bar before moving through to be seated. The atmosphere is really charming and they haven't tried to pack in as many diners as they can, it feels airy and not cramped. Service was prompt, the staff were exceptionally polite and attentive and the prices were sensible. The food that came out of the kitchen was hot and all arrived at once with three different dishes chosen. If I could give 6 stars for the food I would, a truly excellent experience and one that we'll be returning to again.

We ate here with another couple and had a lovely evening. Food was good, two of us had steak which was cooked beautifully and came with generous portions of veg, also had mushroom on toast starter which was creamy and on tasty bread. Boozy cherry tart was a winning dessert as was the banana and toffee cheesecake. Wine as you would expect was good quality. Service was friendly, they forgot a glass of wine ordered at the table but were quick to rectify and service was efficient in everything else. We had three courses with two of us drinking wine. If you are a larger group you will be in a private room and asked to pre order from the menu as it is a medieval building with a domestic sized kitchen. Overall an atmospheric venue, friendly efficient service, tasty menu and great wine. We will be back.

Excellent meal in pleasant surroundings. Relaxed atmosphere with good service.

Lovely place, nice food, good atmosphere but on the pricey side.

What an excellent recommendation from the lady in the Small Hall. The food was fabulous and the staff very friendly. Would definitely go again.

Food was delicious- service excellent but we were the only ones on the restaurant at the time

Really great place. Excellent food and service

Super friendly. Celebrating a birthday lunch. Lovely vibe. From starter through to dessert, all delicious

The food is scrummy, the atmosphere relaxed and the service tip-top. Third visit and it has never disappointed. Great menu, suiting meat, veggie and fishe eaters.

Good food, very friendly service. Dog friendly environment. (We took dog bed in as it settles dog down, staff found us appropriate table so we could all sit comfortably). Dog was bought some gravey bones. Small courtyard well done. Had a good evening here. Would use again. Old beam and plaster building. Decor fitting to building. Lots of smaller rooms for dining. Feels very cosy. Staff very friendly (and have a sense of humour!) and where effective without being overpowering. We started in back courtyard but where quickly found a suitable table indoors when it began to rain. All in all, enjoyed visit and would use again.

Very good meal. Thoroughly recommended.

A very enjoyable and delicious Sunday lunch at Number 10. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Such a cute atmospheric place. Will go again one day to sample food. Locals were friendly. Highly recommend

Very lovely staff food beautiful lovely Atmosphere will go again

Excellent lunch , Brian and I both had sea bass, sundried toms, rocket, knokki, forgotten the suace it was in but it was delicious . Lovely table in garden, friendly staff . Will go again

Me my wife and Bella ( the dog ) had a fantastic experience. Very dog friendly, lovely staff really good gluten free options and delicious food can't complain. We are coming back 😁

Excellent staff, variable enticing menu, resulting in the most delicious lunch. Everything was ace. Thank you

*2023 Update* Went again today and it proved itself once again as my favourite restaurant in Suffolk! The lamb was excellent, as was the summer pudding. There are not many restaurants that manage to get everything right, but Number 10 does, in my opinion. The food is excellent, possibly the only place I have ever been where I would be happy to order anything on the menu. The portion size was just right too. The service is relaxed, but efficient, friendly but professional. The decor and music were tasteful too. I'll definitely visit again the next time I'm in Suffolk.

All good here, nice atmosphere very busy, food good quality everybody knew each other lots of regulars

Beautiful food. My mushroom starter and Salmon en croute main were tasty. The salmon was a bit overcooked but when I was having such fun it didn't matter. Luscious wine.

Not a fan of leaving one star but in this occasion it has to be done.Well it's pretty obvious in Number 10 that if you are NOT! a local you are certainly NOT! welcome. Too worried about the Grand National, say know more.. All huddled together in there little circle of conservatives buddies. What a shame as have always enjoyed coming to number 10 even went out of our way to visit today Never again

We popped in for dessert and drinks. What a find!! Chocolate and hazelnut mousse is delicious.....like dreamy delicious. Excellent wine list. Lovely staff. Great music. Sooooooo relaxing. Love it here. It just perfect here.

Great place if you want a great night out.

Friends from USA had 6 hour round trip drive to take me out to Number Ten for lunch. Said best meal can remember in UK for years. It is my absolutely favourite restaurant. Great Staff. Superb food Unique ambience, set in ancient beautiful building Highly recommend and friends planning to return, especially, to eat at Number Ten again.

Love this place . Me and Mrs Thoroughly recommend

We sampled the set-price menu which was absolute excellent in all respects ... brilliant value for money, thank you.

We booked for Sunday roast after being let down by another restaurant in Lavenham that couldn’t cater for my dairy free requirements. I called and we were offered a lovely private dining room for the 6 of us. I told the lady on the phone that I am dairy free & she said no problem, we’ll look after you and she was right. We arrived and menus were handed out and straight away she told me what I could have. There was plenty of choice. The chef even made me a dairy free chocolate mousse, which was INCREDIBLE! My friends all enjoyed their food and only clean plates were left at the end. The service was great, food delish and atmosphere chilled but buzzing & good value for money. Really recommend and we will return when meeting up with our friends again! THANK YOU

Wonderful lunch today. Friendly and efficient service, great food, good value. Will definitely return.

My parents, kids and I had a lovely time at this restaurant. It’s housed in a beautiful old white building. We were made welcomed as soon as we stepped in. The lady who served us was so pleasant and friendly! I think she’s the reason why our dining experience was special. The dishes have generous portions and were delicious too. We all had a great time and would come back again.

We were made very Welcome! We hadn't booked and it was very busy so they suggested to come back an hour later. There was a lovely atmosphere and the food was great. Nothing was too much trouble and we all had a lovely time!

A really good enjoyable evening. Everything spot on The food was excellent and the venison, ale pie, chocolate orange torte outstanding. Lovely attentive staff, helpful and friendly. What a treat.

We took our friend's out to dine here for his retirement, had a lovely tasty meal, the service was great, good atmosphere although we were sitting near a very noisy loud table but it didn't ruin our evening, if I had to fault anything I'd say my husbands chicken skewers were a miniscule portion even for a starter & his Ale pot pie was very small, really a child's portion but everything else was perfect.

Just drinks but a lovely atmosphere, would definitely visit again!

Best Sunday roast I've had in this area. Really well cooked roast lamb, just pleasantly rare, with beautifully crispy roast potatoes. Very generous portions, but without compromising on quality. Very good wines on the by the glass list. Can't understand the negative reviews below. Staff were very friendly and attentive (apart from being hard to get the bill, as always, everywhere)

They just told me that they are full but they have empty tables, when I told them that o could go to the terrace they told me that the kitchen is full… I guess that it was another thing because usually when a place is full they tell you to wait…

This was an excellent choice of venue for birthday celebration tea. (I was a guest.) Cosy venue, attentive staff and delicious eats and drinks.

Excellent food, beautifully cooked. Friendly staff. Dogs made very welcome.

The pub has a nice, lively atmosphere (though I wasn’t a fan of the music, which was unnecessary). The staff were really nice and the service was quick. But the prices are high, and you get very small portions. £20 for a small, top crust pie, a dollop of mash and 2 pieces of veg. The small portion makes you more likely to order dessert, which my partner did. £8.50 for a simple tart that looked like it might have come from a bakery for a couple of pounds. We shouldn’t be spending almost £60 for dinner (one drink each), and be walking out hungry. If you’re charging high prices for basic fare, the portions need to be more reasonable.

Love this place.steak and guiness pie excellent. Food excellemt

Very nice atmosphere. Garden cosy and lots of umbrellas so one could stay outside in light rain. Friendly staff and owner. Good food, at least what we eat. Beautiful building, easy accessible located few steps from another building featured in one Harry Potter movie. Recommended

Just popped in for a drink when staying in village. Lovely friendly host, Lovely glass of wine. Well recommended

Had the mixed sharing plate, excellent.

Visited on a Sunday evening for a wine and sharing platter. Amazing … really generous and also incredibly good . Sat in the rear garden - perfect Sunday summer. Loved it! Definitely recommend.

Good quality ingredients (red fruits in the desserts were delicious). Friendly and helpful staff 👍

This is perfect indoors and out. Great Sunday lunches as well as a la carte. Super service and very relaxed. What's more to like?

I had steak salad and new potatoes and the plate was very oily and spoiled the meal and I did not feel well later - I don’t know why there was so much oil on the food as it would have been better without any dressing

Fantastic lunch (King Prawn linguine, Chicken and fish finger sandwich) 5* with great friendly service. Definitely going to return on our next visit to Lavenham.

All I can say is this place is officially the worst place I have ever been. Came in with my partner and had the rump steak, asked for medium rare and it came out all rare. Don't really like blood dripping out of my food as I'm not a cannibal. Avoid this place at all costs , the service was awful when I complained and the chips were also incredibly cold. When I went into the toilets there were skid marks and there is a lack of hygiene in this establishment.

A Birthday lunch with my daughters in lovely surroundings, superb food & service

According to reports, the restaurant treated friends disrespectfully due to the girl's nationality, which was Brazilian. This type of treatment is incompatible with modern times of transnationalization and weakening of borders through tourism and immigration.

Terrible service, xenophobic and rude atendants, spoiled food, spent the night vomiting and having abdominal pain from their food. Do not go to this place.

Building is nice but that's about all that is. Very hostile and unwelcoming establishment and food is grossly overpriced. Won't be back

They treated me and my friend very badly. They were extremely rude! My first time in England and I thought the experience would have been a lot better. Never coming back

A warm and friendly welcome Is guaranteed. That's what this wine bar promises on its site. One of the things that attracted me to this particular bar, alongside its quaint location. Well, that soon went out of the window after being verbally asailed and down right humiliated by a member of the bar staff, this I should add was also after having spent a tidy sum of money. I was absolutely appalled at how me and my partner where treated, me in particular, I was made to feel unwelcome and unwanted I was completely speechless, just in shock at the vulgarity being displayed to me. If I could give it 0 I would. Unbelievable.

Terrible experience, extremely rude staff, felt very unwelcome and intimidated.

Now this is a great place, have had 2 visits, the staff are so nice and the food was just 1st class.

Excellent food and value ! Presentation and taste 5 star ⭐️. Will visit again .

Very poor service- the hake dish was so bland and we left most of it. The waitress ignored the complaint and just asked if we wanted dessert. Also the steak was grisly and the sauce watery. Our worst meal in Lavenham.

Good chilled vibe and staff. Great food.

Fantastic homemade food and exceptional service in a beautiful location. Highly recommend. This is by far the best restaurant in Lavenham and reasonable priced too. Thanks for a great night.

Good food at a reasonable price

Was there for my niece's hen do. Lovely venue, set in an old tudor building, we had an area all to ourselves for 12 people. Coukd not fault the food, generous portions, all freshly cooked and very tasty. Staff professional and friendly with just the right amount of attentiveness. We all had a great time. Thoroughly recommend 😊

I agree with all the good reviews below. A remarkable place where to dine. The atmosphere is unique!!! The food tastes marvelous, it brings back the old-british tastes. I would say it is a "must to dine in" if you are in Lavenham or close by.

Gorgeous staff, so lovely. Good honest amazingly tasty food. Loved it - been waiting six months to try and will be back. Thankyou.

Gorgeous restaurant, wonderful food and totally delightful staff. An evening to remember thank you Definitely be back. This place is the definition of excellent service.

Beautiful surroundings, excellent food, friendly staff. All in all a great experience.

Lovely meal in a relaxed atmosphere all in a nice old timber framed building. Good food, well prepared and presented and reasonable cost.

A great dinner with friends at No.10 last night. A very warm welcome on arrival, a great atmosphere in the dining room, very attentive staff and quality food. Highly recommended.

Just love this place ,great staff and amazing food ,it's a must try if you are looking for good food and a lovely friendly place A little gem

We had dinner here for a party of 6, and had a private dining room! Friendly and relaxed service, excellent starters and pepper steaks, cosy atmosphere with interesting decorations, and good wine.

We had the loveliest meal, Joanna and her team were just the best, we were made so welcome and had some of the best pizza we’ve had in a long time! Thank you so much for having us, A must visit when in Lavenham!

Excellent restaurant needs a outside menu for dinners to see before going in or walking past as they may think it might be too expensive.

Lovely atmosphere and staff, good menu and reasonably priced. Love it here. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent food and service good menu was pleased that we went in to ask to look at the menu as we would normally just walk past when no menu on show outside don't know if it would suit or taste or may be to expensive.

Six of us walked to Number 10 on Saturday for lunch and it was absolutely brilliant. The women serving us were helpful, chatty and gave us great service. The starters of garlic prawns, lamb kofta and garlic mushrooms were delicious, as was the seafood gratin and salmon we had for mains. The cheesecake and profiteroles - yummy!! Such a special lunch out with family and friends, highly recommend to anyone passing through Lavenham or living locally. Considering the quality of the food, wine and atmosphere, totally worth every penny!

Lovely food, service and atmosphere.

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. Dog friendly too. Definitely recommended.

An excellent establishment. Despite my arriving half an hour late, they set to and looked after us valiantly. Food splendid, particularly the sauces. This a. Medieval buildings, with all the atmosphere that such a place should have, but with all the trappings of a 21st restaurant. I would recommend it without reservation.

Excellent evening spent with friends,first class food and service.

Absolutely great evening with friends. Food and service was excellent. Our lovely waitress, in DMs, was so lovely!NO 10 is even better than it was on my last visit,would recommend to anyone!

The VERY best roast I have had in a restaurant by far. Staff are friendly and incredibly professional Place is gorgeous (as is most of Lavenham) I recommend whole heartedly

Tonight I enjoyed a fantastic meal! Honestly it would have been extremely hard to fault. My partner is coeliac and unlike some places Number 10 were fantastic with allergies! Would recommend and will return.

What a loving place, we couldn't get a table for food because it was fully booked. Have booked to go back and eat, literally can't wait

Really good lunch at 10. Great menu, well prepared and served and not that expensive considering the quality. Thank you...

thank you for the great time we had with you

Recommended by friends. What can I say, service was amazing, lamb starter spectacular, steak main superb,and a lovely afters to finish whole experience perfect. Would highly recommend

Staying in Lavenham for a few day's, so we decided to visit for a drink. Charming little place, so we booked for the restaurant the following evening. Lovely atmosphere the food was wonderful and the staff were very attentive. Highlight of our stay so far.

This is just the sort of place my wife and I love to go for an evening meal out. The food was great (and the menu was much more appealing than the sample menu on the website) and the service was attentive without being at all intrusive. The atmosphere was intimate and relaxing, in such a lovely old building. And we're glad we followed the advice from other online reviews, requesting the "alcove" table (table 1, I believe it is), which is in a repurposed inglenook fireplace and removed us just a little more from the rest of the room. A lovely evening out, very reasonably priced.

Excellent meal. Service first class.

Lovely food, nice environment. Always a good experience.

Sat in the court yard plenty of shade on a hot day had a wonderful lunch great service

First time visit tonight but we will definitely be back when next in the area as the food was delicious and the staff were lovely and very welcoming. We went on a Monday night and it was full but I am not surprised it is so popular as it is simply delightful.

Wow what a wonderful place Delicious quality food but the service and atmosphere is Incredible. Highly recommend. Will be back.

Good food, great ambience and very friendly staff. We were up from the smoke, staying opposite en route to Southwold, but fancied something a bit livelier for the evening. No 10 definitely fitted the bill, look forward to returning.
