The Great House
The Great House serves brunch in the day time with a variety of delightful offerings, and in the evening, you are invited to explore our dinner menu that changes seasonally. Expect to enjoy delights such as pulled beef hash or eggs benedict with a Great House twist for brunch, and refined dishes such as pheasant breast or lemon sole meunière for dinner. Whichever you join us for, we promise an exciting and friendly drinking and dining experience.
Located in the medieval Market Square of Lavenham, the Great House works with local businesses in Lavenham and across Suffolk, placing a great value of supporting its local community.
