The best restaurants serving British food 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

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!

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

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!

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.

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
