"We love it here, I’d like to keep it a secret but it’s too good not to share. We moved here nearly a yeah ago now and after trying everywhere it’s the best coffee shop around. The coffee and pastry’s are to die for, we haven’t got around to trying the lunch or supper club yet but it is on our to do list! The staff are so lovely and attentive too everyone and are so lovely to my 7 month old daughter who loves going there (she knows where to good pastry’s are at) We love you guys and will see you at the weekend!"

"As you’d expect in Long Melford this pub is a jumble of rooms, all pleasantly presented. The rear patio and garden offers sunny and shady spots. Dog friendly. The Swan seems to be leaning towards a wine bar, bistro vibe most noticeable in the menu, which was sorely lacking in lighter options at lunchtime. Not a sandwich in sight and the only real contender, a chicken Caesar salad, was off. I’m not a fussy eater but struggled, eventually opting for a pleasant but unremarkable gazpacho. My wife went for a more substantial tuna dish which was very good. Presented with new potatoes, boiled egg and a mound of olives it was pleasant but too much for a light lunch. Service was friendly and smooth. Go there if you have a hearty appetite but there are plenty of alternatives nearby."

"Came in for tea and coffee, and ordered two glasses of water. Since the water came in a very small jug, we soon asked for a refill to which we were told that we can’t just order water by an elderly lady and heavy eyeshadow. That same lady came up to our table with the water and started explaining that it’s wrong of us to only order the water (although we also ordered tea and coffee) and told us she will have to charge us for the water and the ice… we did not at any point specify that we wanted tap water, so we were prepared to pay for it anyway. It was extremely embarrassing, as others were around. Perhaps our foreign accents have had something to do with it, either way it has left us very uncomfortable and upset at the condescending way we have been spoken to. All other staff were extremely lovely and polite, and even apologised for the altercation of the elderly woman."

"We went with our son Paul (who lives in this place mainly takeaways every week and it didn’t disappoint us! Fantastic lovely staff including the chef owner Abdus Shahid.. very attentive from start to finish with fantastic tasty food! My favorite is Chicken La Mirch which is a hot and sweet dish full of flavour plus the only restaurant I know that cooks this fantastic dish! Every dish we ordered was top quality and very fresh ingredients including the poppadoms and the fresh trays of mint sauce etc! The medium house wine is very good quality .. the only disappointment is I don’t live closer! Well done and Thank you for a lovely evening."

"We visited The Gainsborough tonight (13.06.2022) while in Sudbury from the West Midlands. The food was amazing, I had the Thai Green Curry which was full of flavor and very filling. The spice level was just right, not too overwhelming. My mom ordered the chicken supreme with new potatoes and asparagus. The potatoes were delicious and slightly minted, and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. The pub uses local fresh produce, as the asparagus was large and full of flavor. The staff were polite and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of. We were seated at a table and a friendly lady cleaned it, brought menus, and took our drink orders promptly. Our drinks arrived quickly and the wait for our food was reasonable. The waiter checked on us to ensure our meals were satisfactory, which they were. We were offered dessert menus, but we were too full to try the Eton Mess. There was a lively atmosphere with a pub quiz happening in the background. The quiz master was entertaining, and my mom and I had fun participating. Overall, we had a fantastic evening at The Gainsborough with delicious food, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. We highly recommend it!"
