"We booked a Saturday night meal recently based on recent TA reviews as we were on holiday in nearby Lavenham. First impressions were very good this is a typical country pub, nice n cosy but up to date. We were greeted warmly, shown to our table and the orders placed. We shared a starter because the waitress informed us the mains are quite large portions that's an understatement! We had the steak ale pie and steak chips as the mains, but of which were delicious. Sadly, we had no room for pudding which was a shame as they to looked lovely. All in all, a very pleasant evening in a lovely pub."

"a beautiful little café in lavenham, children really wanted a ice, and I and the woman really wanted a hot drink. on the ground floor they can take ice and sweets cakes up there are sitting opportunities if they want to take it a little more relaxed. there was no one in the café section when we left, that's just as good as an old building be a little tight when a few people in there! children loved their ice creams, one have a few different chocolates (chocolate of chocolate and one of the pots of mint chocolate and the other had a random combination (cop of cola cube and a pot of orange. it is fair to say that the orange was a big hit, with both wanting it at the end (more than the chocolate to my surprise! I've got a few tassen tee out of the pot I had, so was nice and refreshed from the time to go. great place if its not too busy, but note that it is an old place so that room is a bit tight!"

"What a gem! We unexpectedly discovered The Greyhound during our two-day stay in Suffolk, and we were thoroughly impressed. The food, drinks, and service were flawless. The tapas was so delicious that we returned the next day to try the chateaubriand, and we were not disappointed—it was top-quality meat cooked to perfection. To our delight, they also craft exceptional cocktails. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend it. Hats off to whoever has taken over The Greyhound; we really enjoyed both of our leisurely lunches there. A big thank you to the staff for taking such great care of us!"

"We thought the food was very good one of had the rump steak and the other had the pea risotto. Both dishes exceeded our expectations. Although there were only a few other diners in, we had to wait a long time for our order to be taken and then for the food to arrive. We didn't mind the 12.5% service charge as that's what we would have left anyway as the service was good and the staff attentive and helpful. A bit much paying that on top of drinks from the bar though!"

"I visited The Crown yesterday evening for my son's birthday with my other sons and my partner. We have visited many times over the year the last time was last Friday for lunch and although a little on the pricey side the...food is well cooked and presented and the service excellent. Last night was a dismal occasion. I had called in the morning to reserve a table was given a time of I asked if there were vegan options and was told that there were and explained that we were celebrating a birthday too. We arrived at and were taken to our table for drinks. we then waited minutes for our order to be taken. They were very busy with another party however had I been aware that this was going to cause issues with service I would not have booked. The service was very slow, we felt ignored as other smaller tables were served far quicker. The main meals my partner and I ordered were awful my lobster and linguine were dry and tasteless clearly had sat under a heat lamp my partners piri piri spatchcock chicken was greasy and appeared to have been deep fried with no hint of piri piri. and both meals were sent back. The vegan option for a starter was broad bean soup with a cheese crouton ! So NOT vegan. My son did choose this minus the crouton and the main was a cauliflower chop on a bed of curried chickpeas that was the vegan menu again had I know this I would not have booked but was mis informed by whoever took my phone call. Although the other meals were good and the puddings excellent sadly the cheese offering was not good i have seen the cheese platter presented beautifully on previous occasions, this time it was a mess of celery and grapes with small pieces of cheese and biscuits poking through, the whole meal concluded past when I had to chase the waitress for the bill i had not intended to spend over three hours at the restaurant. There was also a reduction of for my meal although my partners had been refunded as I had chewed my way through my half lobster. Needless to say there was no recognition of my sons birthday again in times gone by there would have been. As I said before, we have been frequent visitors to this restaurant in the past but will be trying the new restaurant in the next village now, sadly."
