A Space Of Your Own
Gather At The Black Lion
Birthdays, family gatherings, wedding celebrations or simply an excuse to get everyone together. Whatever the occasion, The Black Lion has spaces made for celebrating. Expect thoughtfully prepared food, plenty to drink and a room to call your own, with our team on hand to help with the details.
Our Spaces
The Conservatory
Up to 32 guests
Light and spacious, The Conservatory gives you a little more room to gather. Seating up to 32 guests, it works well for larger celebrations, wedding receptions and corporate events, with plenty of flexibility to make the space your own.

Private Dining
A Table To Call Your Own
There are times when lunch or dinner calls for a room of its own. Gather friends, family or colleagues around the table for thoughtfully prepared menus, chosen wines and plenty of time to enjoy both. From long lunches to celebratory suppers, our team can help shape the food and drink around your occasion.


Corporate
Out Of The Office
Swap the boardroom for somewhere a little more relaxed. From breakfast meetings and working lunches to team dinners and larger company gatherings, our private spaces can be arranged around the day you have planned.
High-speed Wi-Fi and presentation facilities are available, alongside refreshments and menus tailored to your group. And if the working day turns into an overnight stay, our ten bedrooms are just upstairs, with corporate rates available for regular business stays.


Weddings
Your Day At The Black Lion
For weddings on a smaller scale, The Black Lion offers an intimate setting in the heart of Long Melford. We’re licensed for ceremonies of up to 40 guests, with spaces that flow from the ceremony through to your wedding breakfast and evening celebrations.
The Conservatory opens onto our walled garden, giving you space to gather inside and out, while our team can work with you on the menu, drinks and details that make the day yours. With ten individually styled bedrooms upstairs, your closest guests don’t have far to go when the celebrations come to an end.


Celebrations Of Life
A Place To Come Together
When family and friends come together to remember someone special, we’ll make things as straightforward as we can. Our team will be on hand to look after the details, leaving you to spend time with the people who matter.
We can accommodate smaller, more private gatherings as well as larger celebrations of life, with flexible food and drink options to suit the occasion.
