The Black Lion
Come dine with us at our 15th Century inn, where our contemporary take on traditional fare creates a fantastic environment to enjoy our fine ales, wines, and cuisine.
Long Melford is a lovely village in Suffolk where we enthusiastically champion everything that makes our area so wonderful—its people, heritage, and character.
Great food often accompanies time well spent. Our Head Chef carefully creates menus using local ingredients while accommodating our customers’ diverse desires. From vegetarian to gluten-free to meat-loving, every detail is carefully considered.
We want to be considerate of our guests’ diverse tastes in drinks, as we are in our cuisine. We hope our expansive wine list, the wide selection of beers—including seasonal mocktails and cocktails—and other drink options fulfil this goal.
You’ll have a peaceful night’s sleep in one of our 10 individually designed bedrooms when it’s time to hit the hay. We have cosy snugs, luxury suites, a family room with contemporary interior design, and a luxury suite, all reflective of our Georgian building.
