The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Lavenham Babergh East of England

Lavenham is a beautiful place but what makes it special is this beautiful tea rooms. Run by a super friendly lady passionate about great service, this is a place you just come in by chance to have a cup of tea but once inside you want to have a full breakfast and then stay for lunch and dinner. And then come back again next day and do it all over and over and over … Highly recommend this place and thank the owner for making this place so special and adorable with its decor, ambiance, food and drinks and service.

We had a really lovely couple of hours on 14th February having a splendid afternoon tea that I had won in the local village church raffle at Christmas. Everything was wonderful with the sandwiches, sausage rolls, cakes, scones, macaroons, heart shaped sweeties, coffee and tea. Gluten free bread and scones and cakes were all very tasty and I particularly loved the gluten free sandwiches that were generously filled. It was all so perfect and the staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel very welcome. What a very enjoyable and much appreciated afternoon tea.. thank you very much to all the team and for the lovely treat! We will be back very soon!

Had lunch with a friend having been recommended to this restaurant- lovely friendly staff and quaint old building and very nice lunch

Nice peaceful place to have a coffee or milkshake and a toastie and read the paper - nice books to browse or buy whilst you are waiting

Really fantastic food and good and attentive service but severely let down by the room being so cold on a very cold March day. Customers were coming into the dining area in heavy coats, scarves and hats and keeping them on as it would have been uncomfortable to take them off. There was a fireplace in the room but at no stage was it lit and staff seemed unaware of how cold customers sitting at tables were. We overheard one man at the bar asking if there was anywhere warmer to sit as he was cold.....but no steps were taken to make conditions warm and welcoming for diners. Despite the food being so good, it didn't make you feel like rushing back, certainly not during the winter months. What a pity as we drove quite a distance to have lunch at The Greyhound based on a recommendation.

Attempted to have an early drink, followed by lunch. Their website says open from 10am Saturday. Same start time on board outside pub. We arrived at 11.40....closed. No sign of opening. Phoned number on the board outside...unobtainable. Found phone number on their website, no answer. 11.50 gave up and walked down the hill into town and had an excellent lunch.

Great afternoon visit to the Swan with the best company. The food was delicious, we were told there’s a new chef. The beef rib was really tasty as was the turkey dinner. If you haven’t been for a while you really must try the Swan again. Service was amazing from Gill.
