The best restaurants in Long Melford Babergh East of England

My Partner and I have just visited your Coffee Shop in Tesco Store in Sudbury Suffolk and were served by a young lady by the name of Izi. She was a delight and the sort of person you need to keep. Made our day. Thank you

Had a meal today Good Friday with my husband. Excellent food. Huge portions. Great service and very reasonable priced. Very happy

It's in a nice location, parking directly outside for 4 cars and ample parking 3 minutes or less away, free too. It's a 5 min walk into Long Melford and it's a really nice walk too. I stayed for two nights 15 - 17 April 2025. Its a lovely building. That's the first thing you notice. Really nice bar and great selection of drinks. I had an evening meal of: Ham hock terrine, apple chutney, pork fat croutons followed by Lamb rump, lamb shoulder hash brown, loaded hispi cabbage, jus. Breakfast was included in my booking, it wasn't a buffet - I was glad about that - all freshly cooked to order and it was delightful. They clearly make their own hash browns. My room was a 'snug'. It was well presented, nice style, clean and comfortable. I don't recommend it for a couple, it was maybe a tad too snug but great for me or good for a couple who are going to be up and out. The staff are usually friendly and helpful in hotels and this was no exception. As I left one of them asked how my stay was. I said 'just short of'... perfect'. I was there for a funeral, so unlikely to be back. If I had reason to return, this would be the place I choose.

A very poor lunch, the pastry on the steak and ale pie was so hard l couldn't cut it and the meat was very sparse. Altogether a very disappointing experience

We were well aware that it could be a lively pub but wow on Friday the noise was unbelievable, I’m not actually complaining I did expect some noise but as the building is so old there is no getting away from it so just be aware it was noisy till 00:45am then no issue, Friday it was quiet after midnight so a welcome surprise! The room was clean and bed comfortable and staff were pleasant. I’ve scored 3 in essence it’s a 3.5 but I’ve gone down as for some reason our en-suite wasn’t. Room 5 we had a separate bathroom which was a surprise and to have to get dressed to go for a pee at 2am is a bit meh. TBH I would not have booked it had I known but I’ve taken my mark down because of it.

We were just passing so thought we’d drop in feeling a little peckish Heard a chap say he had a great steak sandwich when going through the garden centre Let’s just say we won’t be going back Steak sandwich can only be described as steak trimmings over cooked the salad garnish was nice though
