We were let down by another venue for a Sunday lunch birthday celebration gathering for 10 people and called the Swan to see if there was any chance they could accommodate us at only a few days notice. The manager was very quick to call back and extremely helpful in fitting our party in, for which we were very grateful. How fortunate this turned out to be, as we had an absolutely lovely time at this delightful venue. The staff were all excellent without exception, from the friendly greeting at the door, to the drinks order, food order and service all the way through. The food was delicious and we will not hesitate to return again in the future and try out more of the menu on offer. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for good food and great service.
Spent a Friday evening here with friends. Service was great, and we had a good evening meal. Rooms were comfortable and clean if a little cosy (but for a pub with rooms they were what we’d expect), and breakfast was spot on. I left a bottle of perfume behind and they very kindly sent it on to me.
We held my Mums wake at The Swan and they did an amazing job. The food was delicious and they put my decorations and photo boards up for me. The service they provided was outstanding. Staff were friendly and went above and beyond their duties.
We enjoyed a couple of beers here. Lovely beer garden, dog friendly in bar area but not in main restaurant, allocated seating with your dog which was not that great, so we did not eat there.
Visited here today for a business lunch and it was amazing. Staff were very attentive and courteous, the service was brilliant. The food was delicious and presented brilliantly. Definately the place to go to grab some great food.
First of all, the atmosphere is just lovely - it's set in a gorgeous 15th-century building that's been beautifully restored. Inside, it's cozy and charming, perfect for a special occasion or just a nice meal out.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always happy to recommend dishes or suggest wine pairings. Speaking of wine, they have a great selection of local and international wines to choose from.
If you're looking for delicious food, great service, and a beautiful setting, head over to The Long Melford Swan. You won't be disappointed!
Such lovely staff and super food. Simple and good quality versus fancy but some lovely ideas such as panko crispy squid, and flatbread with crispy haloumi and babaganoush, a gorgeous duck breast with orange braised chicory, and super service. We had the "suite" which is so pretty and breakfast was mega. Hats off to them.
This place is lovely, very clean and inviting rooms. The food was excellent and the staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend it.
Overall a good stay at the Long Melford Swan. Breakfast very good value and tasty. Dinner was ok, dishes were mixed in quality - some of the party enjoyed their meal more than others. Decor and feeling of the pub was nice, modern, well kept. Room was well appointed with nice touches. Slightly low ceilings, but then I am quite tall! One negative was noise transfer, it's an old building and the rooms are near the kitchens/thoroughfare's. But the location is great, right on the high street - a short stroll from Melford Hall.
Really enjoyed the food here. My only quibble, and it is slight, is the lack of any salad / greenery with my main. That said, the ham hock starter is excellent.
