Great food. I had the fish of the day battered fish and chips - the batter was fresh as well as the fish, the chips nice and piping hot, a generous pot of tartar sauce.
They kindly made me a decaffe liqueur coffee as well. I tried a bite of the lemon meringue cheesecake which tasted light and divine.
We were seated quickly. Food was prompt and the service was friendly.
The atmosphere is nice; open layout with beautiful thick wood tables, cozy wood fires and a cute outside eating area (sadly raining on the day of eating). Set in a really stunning area, too.
Decent value. Main and a drink came to slightly under £20 which is good considering the portion size! I'll be coming back here soon.
The Henny Swan has the freshest most seasonal ever changing menu you will ever have the pleasure of experiencing. The venue , the food and the staff are simply superb. Sandra and myself had valentines dinner last night and could have simply stayed there forever .
The best Food Served from the most relaxing restaurant in a country pub ever. Great beer selection . Fish n chips are legendary
Always a pleasurable experience and welcome awaits at the Henny Swan. Life and demands on 'social excursions" are many so we only manage to visit 4-5 times a year but every time we come away we always comment to ourselves that we should visit more frequently!!
If you're in search of a warm welcome with good food then the Henny Swan won't disappoint.
What a beautiful pub hidden away from the bustle of Sudbury! We drove from Mildenhall seeking lunch whilst our baby finished his nap. We found this pub via Google after finding ourselves in Sudbury and not liking any of the pub options there. This is a PROPER pub. As soon as you walk in you get that gorgeous smoky smell from the fireplace and the general atmosphere is just so warm and welcoming. The staff at this pub are friendly and accommodating. We get nervous sometimes bringing our son to lunch with him being young but we were greeted without worry and highchair provided. They also have a baby changer which is a welcome addition.
The food itself was really tasty. Can recommend the brisket. We had two mains, shared a dessert and had starters and two drinks plus a coffee and it came to just over £50 so brilliant value for money for the quality you get.
There is ample parking, camping & a river nearby.
We would definitely drive an hour to visit here again!
This was my first visit to The Henny Swan and I was amazing by the delicious food! The festive menu was available and all three courses were superb. Highly recommended and I shall be returning - thank you!

This was a great little find whilst picking up a table from Facebook marketplace in Suffolk.
I believe we were very close to the border of Suffolk, in an idillic village called Great Henny, hence the name.
The staff were super friendly, however it might be good to book in advance as we nearly didn’t get a table, they take only a few walk-ins, and we were lucky enough to get one.
The staff were also very attentive, quickly taking our order for drinks and then our food order when we were ready.
The food was simple, but well put together.
I had the Mac and Cheese bites, followed by the Lamb Duo, like I said it was simple, but it was presented nicely and well thought out, like puréed mint peas with the lamb and shavings of cheese on the watercress with the Mac and cheese.
If your interested as well, just opposite it looked like you could hire kayaks to mozy on down the canal. We went for a nice little dog walk just down the road as well, across a field that overlooks the pub from the otherside of the canal.
Finally the toilets were basic but clean, if you read my other posts you will see this is an important factor to any venue for me.
Love the Henny Swan, Food always reliably fabulous. I had the smoked haddock and leek tart starter today, with salad and new potatoes.... Heaven!
Staff are lovely and so welcoming. Family lunch, dinner for two, drinks with friends, or bar snacks and a pint around the fire with the dogs after a long walk. The Henny Swan ticks all the boxes.
Friendly staff in a beautiful setting!
Popped by for a spot of lunch - went for the Beef burger with mozzarella and bacon, and swapped the skinny fries for chunky skin-on chips. The burger was delicious, and the fries were very nice.
The one thing I would have changed is the fact the meal was served on a serviette/tissue on the plate as this just got absolutely covered in burger juice and sauce.
We enjoyed a couple of drinks in the garden, before moving to an outside restaurant table. We sat around the side, so were able to make the most of the evening sun which was lovely. We ordered the Chicken Ceasar Burger, which is a new item on the main menu and it was delicious. It came with extra ceasar dressing in a pot, which was so tasty and not too garlicky, and was great as a dip for our chips too. We absolutely love The Henny Swan. There is always something tasty to eat from light snacks to a full meal, which suits all budgets. The service is always quick and the staff are really friendly and welcoming. Add to this the most scenic location, it is a place we return to again and again. Thank you for a great afternoon 😃
This gorgeous pub was right opposite the place where we hired kayaks for a few hours. We didn't book, but they still found us a table after we chanced our arm. The food was gorgeous, staff intent we had food and drink without being intrusive. Reasonably priced, with beautiful surroundings. You won't be disappointed!
Great food and very pleasant staff. They looked after our whole group really well. I picked the Henny Swan for our celebration because every time I'm in the area I eat there and I know you can rely on a great meal in amazing and picturesque surroundings.
We've had several lovely meals here and highly recommend. Friendly and efficient service - careful with allergies. Menu usually includes burgers, a steak and fish & chips, and then a small variety of interesting dishes that vary monthly, plus daily specials. Food is beautifully presented and great quality.
Came on the boat from Sudbury on a cold damp day and delighted to see the lovely fire in the pub.! Food and service were both excellent. Staff friendly and helpful. Lamb and fish delicious. Will be back!!
Had lunch here today for my husband’s birthday. What a lovely place. The food was top notch, and great friendly service. Honestly the best veggie roast I’ve had. Really well cooked and bursting with flavour. The decor is tasteful but welcoming and cosy, with really nicely done traditional Christmas decorations. Two log burners made it somewhere we could have easily whiled away a good few hours.
Such a cute and cosy place. Absolutely delightful and beautiful location on the river. The staff were warm and welcoming. The menu is amazing. So much to choose from. I eventually chose the Chicken Duo which was absolutely superb. The onion rings and battered halloumi were delicious. Being from Australia it was such a treat to visit. Thank you Henny Swan 😁
We were staying in a cottage nearby and decided to walk to this pub every night for dinner. A decent torch and good footwear recommended. Ate there 3 nights on the trot and the food/ wine were always great. Friendly service and a lovely fire. Highly recommended.
First visit to this lovely pub, warm welcome by staff, good selection of beverages and varied menu for lunch.
The atmosphere was great and the food delicious, the Rum & Raisin Boozy Cheesecake was outstanding.
Excellent service and looking forward to returning soon, 5* Rating.
