A friend booked a table here although none of the group had visited before. Four of us ordered four different things and all came out perfectly. Food was hot, delicious and plentiful. However, whilst the food was fab, it was the service we received that was the star of the show. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were chatty, knowledgeable and friendly. Nice to know that there are still managers/owners out there who deliver first class service (and food) and care about what they do. This place is definitely worth a visit whatever time of day. Thanks for a good evening.

We tried to make a booking at this pub for our lunch break on our Saturday walk. We were told that we could not book the restaurant. We then asked if we could bring a packed lunch and use the picnic area, buying a drink at the bar, this was agreed. On the day we arrived, about a dozen people, and purchased our drinks, then headed outside to sit down for our lunch. The manager then approached our walk leader and told him we were not welcome and had to leave. Many of the group were part way through their lunch/drink so could not leave immediately. We were told again to leave!! Why do people go into the hospitality trade and then forget to implement the most fundamental criteria, hospitality? The pub was not over busy and we were very surprised to be turfed out as if we were a gang of yobs and not a group of mainly retirees.Thank you for giving an opportunity to highlight the fact that people are not welcome to bring their own food & drink onto our premises. We sell food & drink for a living. The money that we make from this supports our high costs, including business rates & ground maintenance. Reference your points:1/ We do not have a picnic area 2/ You would not have been informed that you could bring a packed lunch 3/ The pub was certainly busy & you were taking up a lot of bench & table space (some located directly in front one of several notices that ask people not to consume their own food & drink). Customers could have been enjoying our garden menu on these tables. 4/ I was firm with you but I was not so rude as to 'turf' you out. Given that I was clearly annoyed at the situation, I would consider that I gave you the correct amount of professional courtesy.

We've stayed before. Ma'am used to work at the adjacent hospital (now converted to housing) and it brings back happy memories. A listed site, beautifully set in Constable country by the river Stour, there is little to fault. Staff, rooms, food all excellent. Be aware it is a listed building, so no lift - check if you have problems climbing stairs. We were lucky to have a room with superb views over the water meadows.

Very pleasant interior, well designed and contemporary,yet in keeping with the older age and style of the property. Owned by an old Suffolk Brewery,Nethergates, but managed for them. Emphasis on food, not expensive, yet not pub grub or pub grub prices. Staff a little lacking in their price bracket offerings and had little knowledge of their wine list...not so good with bottles in excess of £50!!However,overall very nice and worth a visit...time will no doubt improve them.Recommended.

Having read the reviews we went to The Hare with high expectations and we were not disappointed. After a very warm welcome we sat down to eat lunch. My slow cooked skirt of beef was some of the best that I have tasted. My partner's belly of pork was equally good. The pub has a very pleasant and warm atmosphere, the staff are polite and helpful and obviously the chef and kitchen staff know what they are doing.

Arrived and got drinks at the bar, dont really like the queuing system used here.Found a table that wasn't reserved for 4 hours later, rejoined the queue at the bar to order the food.Food wasnt up to the standard expected, lasagne was scorching hot around the edge but barely Luke warm in the middle. Fish was a child size portion that had lost all its crispness and was very substandard.Staff weren't very attentive, we wont be returning.Hi there, sorry to hear you were not happy with your meal today. If you would like to talk about it in more detail please feel free to give us a call or pop in and speak to one of the pub leadership team. Hope to see you for a better experience soon!Stevie and the team.

My partner and I stopped here for lunch on Sunday after visiting the lovely town of Long Melford. The restaurant and garden were fairly busy but not completely full so we walked through the garden and then in to the bar looking for a table, we eventually picked a table in the garden. I specifically looked for the table number after over hearing a member of staff asking a couple ordering what their table number was but our table, and the ones around it, didn't have one. I walked through an open door back towards the bar to get some menus and it was at this point I was stopped by another member of staff and told to "stop using that door as it was unfair to diners" who were sat in what looked like the conservatory, I explained that we were sat in the garden and I was just getting a menu and she said it didn't matter I had to use the door at the end of the building. My partner and I chose not to eat here as we felt unwelcome. Avoid.
