My wife and I dined on a Thursday and were treated like royalty. The staff are extremely friendly and courteous. We started with mackerel and prawn cocktail. If anything there was so much you felt like it would ruin your dinner. The sea bream for my wife was cooked to perfection and my fillet steak was the largest I have... More

See Angel Lavenham reviews. Wheeler's of St James is the Angel at Lavenham also. It is a posh pub restaurant and inn with rooms. Food is generally good . Tables at the front near the windows are our favourites as the generally dark decoe means the tables to the rear are somewhat poorly lit. I love the linen and table... More

Restaurant was great! - We were on a deal which included an overnight stay and 2 courses from a set menu which was good value. The A La Carte menu was not too expensive either considering the quality of the food and service. Good ingredients cooked properly in a sensible way and not messed around just to be different. Very... More

Was very concerned about dinner here as I booked it for my daughter's birthday before I read the reviews on Trip Advisor, but have to say I was more than happy with our meal. In fact I am not sure what the other reviewers problems were. On arrival we received a warm welcome from the barman and staff. After drinks... More

We visited recently during a romantic break. From the moment we arrived (on time) we were felt we were just a bit of a nuisance. Treated like bumpkins by the slightly surly barman. Ignored by the maitre d. Our table wasn't great even though we had booked well in advance; we witnessed a 'walk in' sat at a far nicer... More

Good food, well served with a smile. The quality and quantity of the fixed menu was good and no need to pay extra for the a la carte meals.The wine was over the top in price and way low on quality.

We went after a promotion by the Hotel and had high hopes as it was using marco pierre whites name but were left disappointed. The staff were excellent, very friendly and service was fast and very polite. My wife had the scallops for starters which looked amazing but could have been better, I had the mussels which were tiny, and... More

My partner and I took his parents to Wheeler's last week for lunch and when I rang to book two weeks earlier I asked if we could have a table by the window and was assured that this would be possible. When we arrived NO table by the window available, the staff were very pleasant and the restaurant atmosphere was... More

We recently stayed in this hotel for the weekend. The hotel was lovely, clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked. The decor was nice and it had a good feel. Lavenham is lovely so it was an excellent choice of location. I was just slightly disappointed with the food in the evening...... More
