Today we popped along to The Great House for a Sunday roast and what a fabulous lunch it was! The food was incredible, the front of house staff were excellent and very helpful, the head chef came out see us which was really nice. However I’m biased as he is my son and I’m so proud of him, well done Ben and thank you, keep up the excellent work. I would fully recommend this restaurant for a great experience.

The restaurant is outstanding. The menu contains a wide range of excellent options and everything is top quality. Many of the menu items are local specialities, such as local mushrooms, which were divine. Highly recommended, wonderful friendly service and a very pretty historic location, too.

My lovely Wife's review and I echo everything. Wow! We thought it would be good but that's an understatement, it was amazing! The room, the service the food. It you want to enjoy the best Lavenham has to offer then you have to stay at The Great House. Jamie The Manager and his team of Anouska, Tom and chef Ben are there to serve you and this they do so incredibly well straight from the heart. We have never felt so cared for absolutely nothing is too much trouble. Our Room 5 was so cosy and had all we needed it was being like rocked to sleep both nights with beautiful bathroom with underfloor heating. The whole place is tastefully and beautifully decorated with an amazing open fire which Tom tends with joy. Our breakfast was so delicious. We went off menu which was no trouble at all and were replenished with coffee, juices toast whatever we asked for with no extra cost. Can definitely recommend the full English with sausages to die for and perfect fried eggs. The granola was delicious too. As for our dinner in the evening the restaurant had a real buzz about it, food exceptional and service second to none. The knowledge of all the food and wine was impressive. We just can't wait to return. Thanks Jamie and team for a wonderful stay. See you again soon.

Had an absolutely lovely meal there today sun 6/10/24 service was brilliant and food was amazing, The staff were very polite and it's well worth a visit. Thanks to all chris Robinson

Popped in for brunch/lunch on a weekend & straight away were greeted and looked after. Portions on the smallish side but very tasty. Easily recommend this place for lunch

A lovely evening meal at The Great House with friends to celebrate a birthday! Being collected and brought home in a Vintage Rolls Royce was a real treat, friendly staff, delicious food and the atmosphere both outside in the courtyard and inside the restaurant was perfect. Especially impressed with the gluten free adaptation of the meal. We’ll be back very soon!

We dined here on recommendation last night and were not disappointed. The food/ drink, service and ambiance were all outstanding. We both had pheasant with madras curry for our main which was superb. The waiter was incredibly friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back - hopefully to stay as well next time - and would thoroughly recommend this lovely place.
