ABOUT US

We are part of the Chestnut collection of pubs, inns, and restaurants. Our Georgian building remains a landmark in our former Suffolk wool town and continues the tradition of offering outstanding hospitality to visitors and locals alike. 

​

Long Melford is one of Suffolk’s “wool towns” which came to prominence in the 15th Century as the area became synonymous with weavers. Its name is derived from a 3 mile stretch of road that has become the ‘high street’ – and is situated close to the Essex border, marked by the nearby River Stour.

​

We believe that the beauty of the country and coast; the quality and variety of it's produce; the richness of it's history and culture; and the warmth of it's people make East Anglia an unmissable treat. 

​

We seek to craft authentic experiences for our guests which is deeply rooted in our passion for the local area.
