"Took the family who isn’t from the area here for a Sunday lunch. Starters were inventive and Devine. Our table ordered a mix of chicken, beef and pork Sunday lunches all were exceptional, the pork (which I didn’t order) was delicious and I’ll definitely be ordering that next time. The apple crumble was so tasty and a perfect way to finish off a delicious Sunday lunch. The servers were attentive and friendly, also perfect timings which is something a lot of places get wrong- starters came out after we had all the first glass of wine. The roasts came out about 20-30 mins later and then after we had ordered desserts it was another 15/20 mins. So perfectly balanced timings to have a nice relaxing Sunday lunch. It’s not the cheapest around, but if it’s an occasion or you need a guaranteed good meal then The Black Lion is the place to book."

The restaurant lacked atmosphere. It needed softer lighting and light music in the background. The decor was nice but the chairs were uncomfortable. I would only rate the service as excellent. Staff were lovely. But that’s not enough for me to return at present until the main courses are more substantial to accompany their high price

We really enjoyed our two night stay at the Black Lion. It could not have been more welcoming and dog friendly. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated but also had bed, bowls and treats ready for the dog. Moreover we thought the food was excellent which on top of the beautiful location made for a memorable short break. Nearby activities: Opposite Long Melford Hall, National Trust, walks, magnificent historic churches and beautiful villages nearby

The Black Lion is a very nice pub with rooms. My room was very comfortable large with a full size bath and seperate shower. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. I only ate breakfasts there as there wasn't enough choice for vegetarians on the dinner menu but the breakfasts were all cooked to order and of very high standard. The Black Lion is at one end of Long Melford and within a few minutes walk of the Holy Trinity Church, Melford Hall and Kentwell Hall. The walk into the main part of town is less than 10 minutes. Hope to stay again. Walkability: Some lovely walks nearby. Even the walk from the hotel to the other end of Long Melford is very pleasant.

"To the wonderful owner and staff at Strawberry Teapot, My story starts with a trip planned to this cafe with my mum for her birthday, and will hopefully help to reassure other wheelchair/powerchair reliant customers : Accessibility: The owner had a conversation with us to tell us about their accessibility (there is a step at the front of the store, but access to the outdoor seating behind the cafe without steps . I use a powerchair, which can't, unfortunately, be lifted up with the help of others, but other smaller wheelchairs will still be able to be lifted up past the step on the front door. Despite this powerchair hurdle, we sat outdoors, which was beautifully arranged with summer plants. Food Allergies/ Dietary requirements: My family is a mix of vegetarian, vegan, and meat eater people, which was no problem at all to the staff at the Strawberry Teapot! We had booked in for an afternoon tea and were served three separate food servings (a three tier cake stand per person , filled with sandwiches, cake, scones, and biscuits. These were delectable, and we were even allowed to take the cakes we didn't eat home with us (they were too good to leave behind! . Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful time and will not hesitate to book again. If I could, I would fetch fresh scones every weekend (they were THAT good . Thank you to all the staff there that helped to make the afternoon tea special, you are all wonderful people, and I have no doubt that you will make every other customer's experience just as wonderful. Couldn't recommend highly enough."

"We live locally and have eaten at the Hare regularly. We took another couple twice in the last 4 weeks but tonight was just awful. It took 25 minutes for a drink to be served but the problem centered around my wife 's meal and the...way the staff dealt with the issue. She ordered a steak but was served two small pieces rather than one steak, with one much thicker than the other so clearly two separate pieces. One was cooked as ordered but the other small piece was totally over cooked and unacceptable. We told the waitress who insisted it was one piece of steak which was just an embarrassing lie as clearly she had not seen it being cooked. We know that for certain as my wife had been to the loo where there was no toilet paper. She told the same waitress who said she would deal with it, but instead stayed leaning on the bar rather than dealing with the matter and clearly this was during the time when my wife 's single piece of steak was being cooked. My wife left most of the meal, including the chips which were over cooked and dry. like reheated than triple cooked, plus the two tomatoes looked simply awful so she left them.. In fairness my fish pie was good. The waitress spoke to the kitchen who offered to cook another steak but my wife said no as my husband would have finished his meal and I don 't want to eat on my own. We were going to order desserts but decided we would just leave. When we went to pay we asked them to take the steak off the bill. The lady who was presumably in charge refused and said she would only deduct half as my wife had supposedly eaten most of the meal . Not one member of staff had been near our table to check what was on the plate as we had just got up to pay, so clearly this was yet another lie. The best part of her meal was the peppercorn sauce and the salad. I said we eat here regularly as we are local but tonight was just poor, but the lady still insisted we had to pay for half of the steak. I said this is just totally unacceptable as the steak and most of the rest of the meal was dire and if she insisted we pay half we would never eat there again. She still insisted we had to pay half saying we were going to offer you free desserts , so the solution was £12.40 for two free desserts but she still wanted half of £17.50 for the steak. The maths do not add up and we left furious. I paid the bill and very sadly we will never et there again. I hope the owner of the establishment reads this review as they have just lost a very good customer, just because the staff lied about the situation and would not then resolve the matter correctly. A very sad (and infuriating) experience!"
