Lavenham Great House Restaurant in Babergh

This was our most favourite restaurant, unfortunately today, although it was good , it was not outstanding as had usually been the case.A lot of the magnificent staff appear to have left, which resulted in our expectations being below parr, the food was good but not special as had usually been, sadly don’t think we will be back in a hurry

3 borderline 4. We had the 5 course taster menu with paired wines on a Wednesday night. Pleasant but not superb.

Elaborate three course lunch menu. Food and service first rate.

Everyone went above and beyond ! Exceeded all our expectations. The tasting menu was outstanding, staff brilliant, and I had a cake made by the very talented pateserier, again they bought it out in style with a roman candle the works. I was in contact with Celine the whole time, and she was very professional, making sure it all went well on the night. Even when I mentioned gluten intolerance they still provided an exceptional alternative, even their bread was lovely.So a massive Thanks to you allWe will be back soon !

The Great House was an excellent dining experience. One has to call it an experience, as it really was.Great reception. Well trained, lively and friendly staff. The ambience was calm, in various shades of grey, with the fresh flower table center pieces bringing a pop of colour. The food beautifully presented and delicious.Why only 4 stars?Choice of dishes on the menu.The menu consisted of Starter, Mains and Dessert , each of which only offered an either or choice from two dishes. Too limited. (On the day we dined, the main course choice was a fish or duck dish.)

We came here for their 7 course tasting/experience menu and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed and the service was very attentive. My parents have also been here with their friends on a few occasions when in the area and similarly had fantastic a la carte meals too. Definitely a perfect spot for a special evening.

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the birthday luncheon we had last Friday.The food was amazing and a big thank you to the staff who were so helpful and friendly.I would like to give a special mention to the pastry chef who made a fantastic 'birthday cake'which was delicious, he had obviously spent a lot of time creating it, greatly appreciated, he is a great asset to the business.

We stayed here B&B for two nights. I can only say it was excellent. The staff were friendly, helpful and clearly work as a team. The Somellier found as a couple of different wines that were a delight and the chef should get an award..each course was a delight but so was breakfast (right down to the marmalade).The village is full of character and lovely to walk around. The area also has some great places to visit.This was a wonderful experience..do go for it!

Experienced many restaurants for good food dining including many with Michelin star and I can honestly say I was not disappointed with the food at The Great House. We stayed locally and booked the restaurant a couple of weeks before our break as it's very popular and well known in the area.We had a table for four in a well spaced dining area to the point of being almost private , which made the whole experience even better.Would I go again.... Oh yes.

I didn’t stay at The Great House but on Friday evening a friend who lives local to there delivered to me in London Swann’s fabulous takeaway meal .Beautifully presented , easy to serve , fantastic tastes. A real luxury meal which was almost as good as eating at The Great House itself . I cannot wait until I do visit there again.
