The best restaurants serving British food in Lavenham Babergh East of England

Amazing ice cream! A big bonus for us was that it was suitable for our nut-allergic son, who almost never gets this sort of ice cream treat. The lady was very knowledgeable about her ingredients as it’s homemade, and made sure she got a fresh scoop for him too. He declared it the best ice cream ever! The coffee was also delicious, piping hot & served in beautiful eco-friendly cups with different designs. Highly recommend and not just for the summer, the hot chocolate looked amazing too and there was a lovely selection of gifts in the shop.

Requested a twin room but arrived to be shown into a double. Couldn't be changed until the following day apparently! Went down for breakfast on Saturday morning at about 8:30 (breakfast served from 8 - 10). No staff apart from the cleaner. She kindly tried to provide some tea, milk and cereals - and bread. So we made do without a cooked breakfast (included in the rate we paid). At about 9:10 a young lady appeared who offered us a cooked breakfast just as we were about to leave the restaurant. No apology. No kitchen staff. Just awful. I did get an apology from the General Manager later that day and Sunday morning breakfast was fine. Certainly won't use this hotel again.

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.
