The best restaurants in Lavenham Babergh East of England

My bestie and I recently re visited for their afternoon tea. We were here last July and I was here again last October. We ordered the savoury version again and it was as delicious as it was before. The service is very good, the surroundings both comfy and stylish and the price point is excellent. We always used to go to high end London afternoon teas such as the Berkeley, One Aldwych and Rosewood, which are superb, but take a lot more effort to reach and are naturally more expensive. We will be back soon.

Amazing! Very friendly and an absolutely gem in the community. Would definitely recommend! The bloke who owns the shop makes his own stuff from scratch. Positively amazing!!!

The tone of the staff was abrupt and unwelcoming, and our plates were whisked away before checking that we had finished, which was unnecessary considering the cafe was half-empty. As for the food, it was inedible and over-priced, with pale flaccid sausages and a very greasy and salty pudding.

We had called in advance to book a table in the airman’s bar and told we couldn’t reserve a table and they were very busy; we wouldn’t get served at the time we wanted. We decided to drop in on the off chance, only to see a table with reserved on! We found a table and was served promptly. I ordered the pasta as a main. It was undercooked and bland. Cheese cake for pudding again tasteless and looked like a bit of old quiche. My husband faired better and had no complaints but not worth the money in my opinion. Shame as we have been many times before for roasts and they’ve been excellent.
