Set in the picturesque village of Lavenham sits The Great House restaurant and hotel. Tucked on a square just off the main thoroughfare makes this a quiet and secluded location for peace and tranquility, couple with great French fare. The decor is simple but stylish. Tables are white linen and the glass sparkling. Staff are attentive and French ... courteous... More

The menu regularly changes using seasonal produce.Our last visit was for my husbands birthday and the meal we had was again outstanding. The Queenies we had as a starter were scrummy. The menus are very well balanced and leaves you with the... More

High expectations as the owner of the hotel recommended them. Staff are very formal, food was nice, expensive but not exceptional, we had more fun and just as good a meal for dinner at The Angel next door.

We booked this restaurant as part of a 'foodie' few days in Suffolk and were very disappointed. The food was mediocre and the service dismissive. There are many beautiful restaurants in Suffolk this is not one of them in our view.

I booked a table at The Great House based primarily on the reviews I had seen on Trip Adviser. We were definitely not disappointed! The French menu offers enough of a selection to cater for most palates and each dish we sampled was cooked to perfection using the highest quality ingredients. I have honestly never eaten better food. The wine... More

It goes without saying that every aspect of this restaurant is simply perfect, all the previous reviews are a testament to this fact! On a chilly Saturday lunchtime tucked quietly away in a unexpected corner there is a little slice of paradise. With the winter sun streaming through the windows the ambience of this restaurant is extraordinary, almost magical with... More

The restaurant certainly lived up to expectations, having read many good Trip Advisor reports about it. The food was exquisite, beautifully presented, fantastic flavours, good portion sizes, good menu. Exceptional wine list - good range of prices - not all ridiculously expensive. The three course menu at £33 was very good value indeed. The service was exemplary, efficient without being... More

Excellent food, extensive wine list and very friendly staff. Restaurant was full on the Saturday evening when we went but the staff still appeared attentive but with a pleasant relaxed style.
