Brasserie At The Swan Lavenham

We had an excellent evening at the restaurant. We were seated in the airy bar area and enjoyed reviewing the menu and wine list while sipping on a delicious gin and tonic. We were presented with a three-course menu as it was the festive season. The menu offered a good selection of meat, fish, and vegetarian options, although it was not extensive like the impressive wine list. The food was tastefully presented with reasonable portion sizes, some may find them small but they didn't leave us feeling bloated. We were pleasantly surprised by the warm nuts and bread with different spreads, including a delicious blue cheese spread which we enjoyed despite not being fans of blue cheese. We ordered tomato gazpacho with sun-dried tomatoes and blackened halibut for starters, followed by cod and venison for mains, all of which were cooked to perfection. For dessert, we chose the soufflé, which was also perfectly cooked. We paired our meal with a rose from Provence and a pinot noir from the Loire Valley. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere with well-spaced tables and live piano music. The service was attentive but not overbearing, even though the restaurant was busy. We ended the evening with tea, coffee, petit fours, and a nightcap. Overall, it was a lovely evening and we highly recommend this restaurant.

The Gallery at the Swan is truly a fantastic spot to dine. Not only is the restaurant housed in a stunning historic timber room, but the service was exceptional and the food was outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the option of multiple course meals with wine pairings recommended by the sommelier.

A beautiful place, fabulous food, great service....an amazing experience and one i shall repeat!!

The food at this restaurant was excellent, beautifully presented, and served in a lovely setting. Despite being fairly busy, the experience felt private and unrushed. There were options for the number of courses and a good variety to choose from. While there wasn't much specifically written for vegetarians on the menu, the staff were more than willing to accommodate special requests off-menu.

Yet again another fabulous dining experience at The Gallery Restaurant. My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on Mother's Day. The staff were attentive and friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed and cosy. As for the menu, there was plenty of choice in fact we were spoilt for choice! Lovely to have local ingredients as well. We travelled from Ipswich as this is by far the best place for a special occasion. Have already reserved a table for Mum's birthday next month! Thanks you for a special time.
