"I thought that I knew most of the pubs in my area of this part of Suffolk having lived here for over fourteen years but stumbled across this one in the middle of nowhere. It was lunchtime and there was only one car parked outside which I thought didn't augur well. But on opening the door we could see many people occupying the place and their was a nice vibe. We were lucky enough to find a table right by the very warm and inviting log fire. Our food order was taken quickly and it soon arrived on our table look scrumptious. A very large obviously home-made pastry pie with the pastry complete surrounding a dark, melting, pull apart lamb feast which was delicate and delicious with an unctuous dark gravy sitting on a bed of light mash. We both thought that there was no way that we would do these plates justice but slowly we demolished the walls and the crusty pastry top and eventually cleared our plates. A good pint or two of beer too to wash it all down. We shall return and bring others to this lovely pub."

"My wife and I decided to have a Sunday roast at The Angel a couple of weeks ago after spotting a table outside. We’d also been recommended the pub by a well-respected Suffolk foodie on Instagram. At £18.95, it was definitely on the pricey side...for a roast, and unfortunately my roast beef wasn’t hot when it came out. This was swiftly rectified, albeit with a couple of minutes in the oven and another helping of piping hot gravy poured over the top, to the extent it was virtually swimming. Fortunately I like gravy, and this gravy was excellent. The beef was also tender and delicious, and a generous portion which you’d expect for the price. The vegetables were fantastic too, but two roast potatoes felt quite stingy. The Angel is a lovely pub full of character, but I don’t imagine we’ll be visiting for a another roast anytime soon when you can get as good a roast elsewhere for less."

"Large restaurant at the far end of town opposite the church. Food and prices are good. Shame about the state of the tables though apparently used in the week for arts classes. All the tables are like it so no point moving tables. Think about what the tables are actually meant for, like eating on? Shame really as the waitress was nice and the food good. Just get the tables sorted and it would be a great place. Price per person: £20–30"

"Having had dinner booked here for quite some time, our party of 4 were seated in the restaurant early, albeit it was still busy. A great selection of wine to choose from, we opted for a white and red, along a limited selection of ales and cocktails. Starters consisted of goats cheese and tomato salad (apparently very good), garlic mushrooms and a confit duck salad. Mains were salmon fillet, stick Asian noodles and a lamb curry, followed by two cheese boards. All of the food was packed full of flavour, piping hot and the portion sizes were filling. Friendly, hard working staff topped a great evening off."

"Lavenham feels like a step back in time with its medieval-style architecture and quaint shops selling cakes for just twenty pence. The village also boasts a selection of restaurants that are truly exceptional. Having previously enjoyed a fantastic meal at Maison Bleue in Bury St. Edmunds, I was thrilled to discover that its sister restaurant, The Great House, was located in this picturesque village. Housed in a building dating back to the 14th or 15th century and renovated in the 18th century, the restaurant exudes charm and history. Sitting next to the grand fireplace in the dining room is a unique experience in itself. One of the best things about dining outside of London is the more affordable pricing, and The Great House is no exception. For just £24.50, we enjoyed a three-course set lunch, with wine starting at £4.95 for a generous glass. For starters, we opted for the Fondue du Pious, a hearty bowl featuring a cheese fondue, soft poached egg, poached new potatoes, and croutons. The dish was sumptuous, decadent, and absolutely delicious. Another standout starter was the beautifully presented mackerel glazed in a rice vinegar and ginger caramel, served with squares of horseradish tofu and shredded radishes for a spicy kick. Although the portion size may have been a bit small, the flavors were bold and satisfying. Overall, dining at The Great House in Lavenham was a delightful experience, offering delicious food, historic ambiance, and great value for money. I highly recommend a visit to this hidden gem."
