Francesca’s — Restaurant in Babergh

We had driven quite some way and were very hungry when we arrived in Lavenham. Tatum's was the first tearoom we saw and were happy with the menu. We just wanted a sandwich. The tea and milkshake arrived promptly and they were good. I had a cheese and chutney sandwich my partner had the bacon and brie panini . It was not good. The bread was dry on my sandwich. The bacon in the panini was grey. The salad consisted of some limp leaves and a segment of tomato. It was very disappointing. Before the response of "we should have said at the time". We were just too fed up by the lack of care of the food and tired from our journey. It was £23 in total. Please try harder. A little dressing on the salad. Even some seasoning. Fresh bread.

Staff were warm, welcoming and friendly, they were also really patient and welcoming of the children too. The premises were beautifully presented, well maintained and spotlessly clean. Well done Tatum’s, we will...

Afternoon Tea at Tatum’s Tea rooms in Lavenham highly recommend. Went as a birthday treat with him, loved the idea of choosing the sandwich as well as the cakes. So it arrived on a three tier stand sandwich’s, sausage rolls, a little salad, then two very large scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream, then cakes and macaroons with some fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Could not finish the cakes so they were boxed up and brought home. And unlimited tea. The service from the staff were excellent and very professional, this was the second time for both of us visiting. We will be back...
