THE BLACK LION
LONG MELFORD
Welcome to The Black Lion, Long Melford, our 15th Century inn where our modern twist on the traditional creates a wonderful setting to enjoy our food, sample our local ales, explore our wine list and rest a weary head.
Set in the picturesque village of Long Melford in the heart of Suffolk, we celebrate all that is great about our fantastic region – its people, provenance and personality.


FOOD & DRINK
Time well spent is often paired with good food. Our Head Chef creates menus with an appreciation for seasonal, regional produce, bringing together dishes that cater to a range of tastes. From plant-based and gluten-free options to something a little more classic, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
The same care extends to what’s in the glass. Our wine list, selection of beers - including non-alcoholic options - and a mix of seasonal cocktails and mocktails are all chosen to offer variety without overcomplicating things. Thoughtful, balanced, and easy to enjoy.
ACCOMMODATION
When it’s time to turn in, our ten individually styled bedrooms offer a comfortable place to rest.
From cosy snugs to more spacious rooms, including a luxury suite and a family room, each space is thoughtfully designed to sit comfortably within our Georgian setting while feeling modern and easy to settle into.
You’ll find everything you need for a relaxed stay, including flat screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, WiFi, and Connock England products.


DOGS WELCOME
Wagging tails will always be welcome through our door. So much so, that we have created an overnight stay package, Muddy Paws, and a special dog menu, with your four-legged companion in mind.
Our team members are always on hand with doggy treats and tips for the best dog walks in our area, including our own Nine Stile Stride walking route.
