The best restaurants in Long Melford Babergh East of England

Lovely little tearoom in the village Long Melford, very warm welcome and service was excellent, tea was loose leaf and cake was lovely, with generous portion. Well worth a visit

I called in for lunch with a friend, when we were shopping in the area, as it was the nearest cafe. Well, what a little gem of a place; it was cosy, staff and clients were friendly, the coffee was fabulous, which always helps, and the food was scrumptious. We’ll definitely be back!

What a lovely little place, neat and clean, staff were lovely. The best bit was a slice of awesome cake and a cup of coffee. Definitely worth a visit and cake not to be missed

From the first this is a memorable experience, from the warm welcome to the dishes themselves. The cooking is classic, reinvented English; The menu a temptation. You want to try everything on it, from the shrimp tempura to the tender duck breast; This is geared to foodies. My cooked foie gras on black pudding with a rich jus, simply burst with flavour. And the turbot! Just cooked, with a lobster sauce ; delicious. My wife’s duck with redcurrant sauce was succulent and tender. A rice pudding with deconstructed Blackwell pudding on raspberry jus was full of flavour, yet not too rich. This is a chef with a magic touch, who is attuned to his clientele.

The service and food was absolutely amazing and couldn't do enough for us, and we will definitely go back. The place was very clean and the food was very reasonably priced

Had a fabulous afternoon Tea today! The ladies were so friendly and tentative, the food was incredible and in such abundance! Left feeling very full of delicious treats! Definitely will be returning in the new year!

To be transparent, this was our first visit to an Indian restaurant in the UK so maybe it's a case of local tastes. Also because you never know what an individual restaurant considers mild vs hot, we ordered conservatively. The onion bhaji namesake dish was the standout. We didn't finish the chicken korma, very bland, could have been any kind of creamy sauce. Looked like a squash puree with some chunks of chicken. We also left naan, which we never do! But the weirdest, biggest disappointment was the saag paneer. We couldn't find any chunks of paneer, and it was gooey like it had shredded mozzarella. (I expect lightly browned cubes of paneer.) Again, maybe it's our lack of familiarity with local custom, but this was wildly disappointing.

Always great service in this little bakery, fantastic cakes and bread made on the premises . Definitely recommend

Dropped in for a bite to eat. All the staff we came across were very polite and attentive to our needs. My compadre had the fish and chips; he reported it to be most excellent. I had the pulled pork and bacon burger which was also excellent. If we are out that way again we will be popping in to eat.

After not visiting for over a year due to illness, we finally got to enjoy the great food this restaurant delivers once more. I was so pleased that the food was as punchy with the flavours and well cooked as before. The only real change was the portions were even more generous. So glad to be enjoying your dishes again. Thank you.

Came today for a birthday/Mother’s Day treat, the service was excellent, was well looked after, staff were very polite and accommodating, my meal was 100 per cent delicious, will return in the future , highly recommend!

Very friendly staff who were very accommodating when 12 of us visited! Lots of cakes and drinks to choose from.

Ordered large cod with large chips, only a handful of awful chips, couldn't eat them. Cod was good. It seems they are going down hill, the chips are getting worse every time we visit.

I stayed here Saturday night, room was ok but mattress was uncomfortable, shower fitting was really stiff and water flow was poor.. had a meal in the restaurant at night- salmon with mash & green beans, salmon overcooked & mash underwhelming! The dining room has no vibe & waiting staff no banter not through lack of trying, maybe some music would help the atmosphere! The saving grace was the breakfast in the morning, very good..hence 2 stars ..

The food was brilliant, we had a varied choice, each of us choosing an item we thoroughly enjoyed. Cannot fault the food. Sadly we felt let down by the volume of a few of the staff. Not only in voice but when clearing tables, the cacophony of voice, plates and cutlery is why I can only give 3 stars. Not all the staff were loud, just 2.
