Quaint, quirky little tea room. We both had lunch (sandwiches), mine was gluten-free bread, and because the slices were so small, I got an extra sandwich! Very nice touch. The little side salad was delicious. All served on or in lovely china wear. We sat in the courtyard as it was a hot day. Will definitely return for the afternoon tea. Thank you.

We had afternoon tea, the sweet and savoury selection and it was absolutely delicious! There were wonderful touches by the staff as it was a birthday we were celebrating. The platters were filled with such delicious food, absolutely gorgeous filled sandwiches and delicious cakes. There was a wonderful selection of food, all set out beautifully! Very much recommend.

I cannot recommend Helen and the team at Ivy and Bond enough. We had been here a few times for afternoon tea/lunch and the atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming - a real family environment upheld by all. When I heard that they were going to do sweets and ice cream as well I enquired about sweets for our wedding day. Helen the owner booked in a slot with us to tailor it and make it bespoke and just really get to know us and what it was we wanted for our special day. She made a million notes and took all of our ideas and sprinkled in her own checking with us every step of the way to make sure it was perfect. The sweets she produced for us were above and beyond anything we could have expected or put together ourselves. Her attention to detail and efforts to make it just what we wanted could not be faulted. The sweets were an absolute hit - everyone loved them! If you are looking for someone to do sweets for your wedding look no further!

Absolutely fantastic! I can’t fault them at all - the staff are fabulous. Im a vegetarian with an egg allergy, and they catered for this beautifully by providing a fully vegan afternoon tea. I wasn’t expecting this at all and the thought and consideration was so appreciated! I’m used to going to places to eat and settling for a side salad, but not here, oh no. The amount of food that arrived - and I could eat every single thing! I was so full by the end I’m amazed I could fit out the door! Highly recommend, and will be going back!

Lovely cup of coffee and a fabulously moist piece of Victoria sponge cake. The food that we saw others consuming looked decent too. A proper English tea room, go and enjoy?

What a lovely tea room, my mum and I took our three dogs in there. We were made most welcome and the dogs all received a treat. Lovely friendly staff. Lovely coffee and a great selection of cakes. Highly recommend stopping in here for a cuppa and cakes on your walk along the lovely village of Long Melford
