Featured Lavenham Restaurants
1. Swan Hotel
British, Modern restaurant in Lavenham
High St - CO10
2021 Review: “The most beautiful old Tudor building” in the stage-set town of Lavenham is “just the place for a special-occasion meal” – whether “an indulgent tea served on old-fashioned trays” or “a sumptuous dinner in the elegant Gallery restaurant”.
2. Number Ten
British, Modern restaurant in Lavenham
10 Lady St - CO10
2021 Review: A “great place to eat in Lavenham”, this wine bar and restaurant-with-rooms in a beautifully converted fifteenth-century brick-and-timber house rates strongly across the board. Hosts Jo Knight and Rod Benson are locals.
3. Black Lion
restaurant in Long Melford
The Grn - CO10
A striking Georgian coaching inn overlooking this pretty destination’s surprisingly long village green. Now in the safe hands of the East Anglia-based Chestnut Group (behind the Old Bridge in Huntingdon and, most recently, The Maltings in Weybourne), this “reliable local” turns out varied grub, from hearty roasts to vegan options – and you can walk it off at one of the many stately homes nearby (of which the NT’s Melford Hall is just a hop away).
4. The Bildeston Crown
British, Modern restaurant in Bildeston
104 High St - IP7
2023 Review: This half-timbered fifteenth-century former coaching inn is a “reliable venue for good food”, with a menu that ticks boxes all the way from basic cheeseburger or beer-battered hake ’n’ chips to more original offerings such as goat cheese doughnut with beetroot sugar and a flexible selection of dishes available in two sizes – as either starters or mains. Top Tip – “the great lobster Caesar salad”.
