Just popped in for a few pints, staff were friendly and accommodating, we played a couple of games of bar billiards. Food smelt lovely and everyone in there seemed happy. Would recommend.

Second time since visiting the pub since they opened and really impressed. The staff are super friendly, helpful and polite. Also nice to see some familiar faces from The White Horse pub working there. We had lunch there today and it was really great quality food, reasonably priced and tasted delicious. Thank you Sara, Ashley, Gary and the rest of the new team - wishing you lots of luck and success!

Tell me why I DO LIKE MONDAYS! What an outstanding lunchtime experienced at The Swan in Long Melford today. Ok, many will know this venue as a long established iconic venue in Melford, but the locals know that in recent years the customer experience has certainly reduced. Well I'M delighted to say that you all must think again. I visited The Swan today and from the moment I walked in the entire experience was outstanding. The place has been totally revitalised by Ashley and Gary the new Landlords. In their experience and wisdom they have appointed Sarah to manage The Swan. Many will know Sarah from The White Horse in Sudbury and Sarah has clearly carried her character, professionalism and charm over to The Swan. From the moment I walked in the welcome and service were really very exceptional. So the service, absolutely 5 star. The drinks....well the real ale was incredibly good, Timothy Taylor Landlord and Nethergate AIPA in fantastic condition and very reasonably priced. The food.....the Ham, egg and chips with garnish, really excellent and PROPER chips too! The cumberland sausage granary sandwich was delicious. So in summary, The Swan in Long Melford has had some seriously good life breathed into it. Thank you to Ashley, Gary, Sarah and the team. Absolutely outstanding, can't wait to come back.Food & drinks: OUTSTANDING. And great value.

We love the Swan the atmosphere very welcoming, food is fabulous,rooms beautifully clean and comfortable and everyone so kind and helpful. Such a shame as the owners and staff are now moving and taking over The Greate House in Lavenham but based on our experience at The Swan Long Melford. I am sure the new venture at The Greate House, Lavenham will be a huge success and we wish you well. Thank you.Rooms: Beautifully clean and comfortable.Nearby activities: Lots of towns, places to visit very close by.Walkability: In the heart of Long Melford so easy access to all facilities.
Lovely Christmas time stay in Long Melford. Room was luxurious with gorgeous deep bath. Food was good. Only small complaint was the banging of the bar door below everytime someone went out. Vibrated through the floor.

Booked up for Sunday lunch Welcoming staff and efficient service, we both had the roast beef and it was great. The beef was quality and cooked to perfection, definitely one of the best roasts that I have eaten (bar the wife’s!) . Will visit again…

My wife and I met my stepdaughter and two of her friends for Sunday lunch. As my stepdaughter had a very long drive, she was unfortunately a few minutes late for our booking for the final sitting of the afternoon. This did not go down well. The gentleman who served us, who I assumed was the landlord as he was the only staff member not in uniform, had the general manner of someone who’s just found a turd in his pocket! ‘Are these people coming?’ He demanded in an abrupt manner. And so it began. When the others did arrive, admittedly a few minutes late, we were left for about twenty minutes before anyone came to take our orders. When someone did come, it was Basil Fawlty again. ‘Can I quickly take your orders.’ With an emphasis on the word ‘quickly’. It wasn’t anything he said, Just how he said it, and spoiled a good but not outstanding meal. Would normally get three or four stars for the food, but for the service. All other staff were great y the way.
