The Cock

➤ 3 Callis Street, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Pub • Steak • British • Vegetarian

"we just ate our Christmas dinner at the **** and I have to say what a wonderful experience from beginning to end. a nice friendly greeting at the arrival, then shown on our table with free drinks and warm rolls, we had a starter, main course desert coffee and cheese board, everything perfectly cooked and not brushed. After I'm a little bit tangible about eating on Christmas day, I have to say that I wouldn't think twice about repeating the experience. wonderful staff, delicious food, definitiw 5* of us thank you."

The One Bull

➤ 25 Angel Hill, Bury St Edmunds IP33 1UZ, United Kingdom, St Edmundsbury

Kebab • Steak • Mexican • Asiatic

"We always choose The One Bull as our go to aperitif place before eating out in Bury, as it is such a relaxed venue, staff are so nice, excellent beers and a gorgeous English sparkling on the drinks list! Having not had a meal there for a while, we booked a table good atmosphere, friendly restaurant staff. We ordered a Portuguese white (no 12 on the list! for £26 I would highly recommend it. We both ordered salmon with potatoes and gem/broad bean fricassee, and I'm afraid both of us were quite underwhelmed; served in a bowl, with only 3 potatoes, a thin fillet of salmon (not of the finest quality and scarcely a broad bean to be found. Our side of Hispi cabbage, however, was gorgeous 2 bold wedges, beautifully cooked and presented. It was certainly far from filling not at all the heartier dishes we remembered from previous dinners there a pity. Overall, The One Bull is by far the best place in Bury for a drink, a good place to meet friends, but we'll regard the food with a bit of caution."

Leaping Hare

➤ Wyken Vineyards, Stanton IP31 2DW, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Coffee • British • European • Ice Cream

"Lovely Sunday Roast, in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed a great meal out for a special occasions. Can recommend the selection of home produced English wines."

The Flying Shuttle

➤ United Kingdom, CB9 7TS, St Edmundsbury

Pub • Steak • Grill • Vegan

"Disappointing. We came a few months ago and food was terrible. We wanted to give the place another chance as our kids like the place. Really service was terribly slow, not staff’s fault just not enough of them. On being served our food we asked for more drinks, was told someone would come and take our order. They took so long our kids were gasping was quicker to get the bill and stoped at the local petrol garage to get the kids a drink! Food was ok, better than last time so that is something! Went to take the kids to the toilet and hubby saw another customer taking drugs in the toilet! Yeah sorry we won’t be back"

The Lounge

➤ 2 Hatter Street, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom, IP33 1LZ

Coffee • Cheese • Panini • Asiatic

"My second visit here: The positives are that it is a good location in town, staff very friendly and welcoming, seating comfortable. There is also an outside area which in the warmer weather is lovely and they do really great milkshakes here. The negatives are that the food is hit and miss and can sometimes be small in portion size, a bit sloppy. It’s your basic “sandwich and crisps” style place for a high price. Dogs are allowed inside which would usually be ok, but the fact they have carpet on the restaurant floor screams poor hygiene. I visited today and there were two dogs, one of which was scratching every five mins and I just kept thinking how many fleas and dried dog drool is in this carpet. The dog then jumped up at my table and started trying to eat my food. I also found it very off putting that free tap water is in a rather limescaly jug which is kept on the same table as the dog biscuits and the dog bowl. Again not very hygiene. The windows could do with a good clean and the vents are quite blocked. I also wasn’t impressed that there were also screaming children running across the sofas which didn’t seem to bother staff and again considering others will have to eat there afterwards was quite off putting. There was another table with another child repeatedly banging something on the table for about ten mins which was clearly causing a nuisance to others and again staff were not concerned. This is more a place families with young kids and Dogs who just want a quick bite, and not a place to come if you want a hearty lunch in a peaceful setting. Would I come here again? If grabbing a quick milkshake on the way past maybe but otherwise probably not."

Really Rather Good

➤ 31 Abbeygate Street, IP33 1LW, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Kebab • Coffee • Seafood • Fast Food

"The restaurant we usually visit was closed so thought we would try this one and were not disappointed. We failed to see the menus clearly displayed on a wall but as soon as we chose a table a young man brought two menus to us. As requested, we ordered at the counter and our drinks were quickly brought to our table. We both chose baked potatoes, one with egg mayonnaise and the other with tuna mayo. These were provided with a small side salad in very reasonable time and both were excellent. The seating area inside appears quite limited but all the tables outside were occupied."

The Queens Head

➤ 39 Churchgate Street, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Pub • Grill • Seafood • British

"Would not recommend the burgers here. Wholly unseasoned and undercooked. I don't know how the fries look like they got flavor on them but taste so bland and cold. Like a light dusting of paprika was just tossed on top after they were placed in the container. The servers seemed confused when I walked in and I didn't know who was serving me for a couple minutes though the one who did was kind, she was also difficult to get a hold of. I had to wait in the corner trying to wave and catch someone's eye for a good fifteen to twenty minutes every time I needed something. It's a pretty pub otherwise and I'm sure it's better for drinks and deserts as that's what I'm seeing in most pictures but I didn't get dessert as I didn't want to sit there for another long hour."

Usa Chicken

➤ 28A Queen Street, CB9 7RU, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Pizza • Wings • Chicken • Fast Food

"I ordered delivery and it took 50 minutes. I requested chicken wings, chips, salad with mayo, and a chicken wrap with chili sauce. However, my order was missing the salad and mayo, and the salad in the wrap was terrible, so I only ate the chicken. When I called to complain, the person on the other end was rude and spoke over me. I am not planning on returning to this restaurant."

Valley Connection Indian Cuisine

➤ 42 Churchgate St, IP33 1RG, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Kebab • Pizza • Asiatic • Mexican

"This is a spacious, light and airy, air-conditioned restaurant, with a welcoming interior. The restaurant and its tables were laid out nicely and we were greeted on arrival.The establishment was well staffed, and the waiters were attentive but not intrusive.The menu offers a nice and interesting choice of food, and we were spoilt for choice. The meals we chose were served hot, well presented and delicious.However, three service issues marred our visit.One of the side dishes we ordered was not served with everything else when our meal was delivered, and this was clearly unnoticed until we had to ask for it. Yes, the side dish then appeared, but it was served several minutes after we had started to eat our meal and did not accompany our initial tastings.We both ordered a dessert, the choice being made from the typical list of pre-prepared and frozen ice cream dishes typically offered by Indian restaurants. We each chose differently. One dessert was served quite a long way ahead of the other and had started to thaw pending the delivery of the second. How hard can it be to serve two ice cream frozen dishes together?Lastly, when our itemised bill was presented to us, it was completely accurate save for a final entry listing a bottle of Rioja wine costing the best part of We had not ordered a bottle of wine, no wine had been served and we had not consumed anything more than beer, prosecco, and water. When this discrepancy was queried, the offending item was removed, and the bill was corrected.Apologies, such as they were, were mumbled and did not come across as at all sincere.The restaurant was well staffed, not especially busy and the staff did not appear to be under any pressure. How can such simple service mistakes occur?Wisely, we were not solicited to offer a service gratuity when we settled the bill.The restaurant was good and the food excellent. The service was wanting. On balance the former slightly outweighs the latter and we are prepared, in due course, to give the restaurant a second chance rather than boycott it completely."

Ben's

➤ 43-45 Churchgate Street, IP33 1RG, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Vegan • Seafood • British • European

"3 stars feels a little harsh, 3.5 would be about right I think. Overall I would say that the food was really good but perhaps not as good as I was expecting based on the price. I started with homemade breads which were served with...a small knob of herb butter. The butter was just out of the fridge and not really possible to spread. This is so frustrating as its an easy win. Just make sure the butter is soft enough to spread. I had the sausage and mash expecting something a little more than just sausage and mash' The sausages were nice and the mash was fine, but no more than that. The treacle tart was a highlight. lovely. We were sat at the end of the restaurant and I spent the evening with my back to the whole restaurant which means missing out on the atmosphere. the table could easily be turned to allow a side on aspect which I think would be better. Service was great and the staff very friendly. Will definitely go again, and I may have been more impressed with a more exciting main choice."

Full House Oriental Buffet

➤ 3-4 Cornhill St, IP33 1BE, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Pizza • Mexican • Chinese • Fast Food

"Yeah… no… we will not be returning. The cost for 2 adults was £37.80and it definitely was not worth it. When we first arrived, we should’ve paid attention to the red flag that there were only like 6 people eating. When we went to get food, there was barely any food in the warming containers… yes, they have probably about 30 containers, but almost all of them were empty except a few vegetables and sauce. Mind you, this is 7:30pm… so we know we haven’t just missed a rush of people or they have been busy. We stayed for an hour and just about no new food came out. Containers remained bare and all they did was replace noodle. The ribs were too tough to chew, the mussels were so fishy (I feel unwell from the thought), the peppered chicken made my jaw hurt from how tough it was, and this is like getting 1 piece of each item because there was so little food. Then, we got to dessert. I do not know If I have ever seen a more depressing dessert display; the “cakes” are divided into small containers and resemble a little sliver. They looked dry beyond belief. So, my partner and I just decided to get ice cream from the machine. And that ice cream was the best part of our meal! Yeah, we will not be returning. I feel like I was robbed of almost £40 because I would’ve gotten more food at McDonald’s for what I paid- and it would have been better quality. Very VERY disappointed."

The Woolpack, Fornham St Martin

➤ The Street, IP31 1SW, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Pubs • Full • Steak • Lunch

"I just wanted to write a review because I used to work at this pub for a couple of months and this is what I have to say about this place. A little background so I applied to work for the boosh bar (the owner of the pub owns the cocktail bar in bury) and whilst I had my interview they asked if I would like to work at the woolpack to get some bar experience. So I said yes and this started the worst experience of my life. First of, the landlord Graham, is the rudest man I have ever met in my entire life, whilst I was working he belittled me in ear shot of guests which max me feel so uncomfortable and frankly like a peasant. When I wasn’t working the landowner would message me on days that I wasn’t working, asking me about my during the morning and evening, trying to discuss topics of conversation which were very inappropriate and not to do with work at all. Such topics as did I have a partner and if we were happy, if my home life was good and wanted to know more than what was exceptable. Whilst still working, I put on a brave face and still went in, but was treated like rubbish the whole shift and could not do anything right in his eyes. The customers who came in were lovely and I enjoyed talking to them when I had time when the landlord wasn’t rushing me around everywhere whilst he stood behind the bar thinking he was the bees knees. I finally left after a couple months of this, I then heard that after I left lots of other people who have worked here have been through the same thing so it wasn’t a one off. Please do not work here if you are looking for a job, there are better places to work and avoid this place at all costs."

Frankie And Benny's, Bury St Edmunds

➤ Parkway Bury St, IP33 3BA, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Kebab • Pizza • Mexican • Fast Food

"Booked online for 6 of us for a birthday meal for my son. Was met by a lady who was chewing gum (not acceptable in a restaurant front of house position) and was not particularly happy (waitress1) She said that there was a wait on food even though we had booked due to people wanting takeaways. We ordered drinks with another lady (waitress 2) who was very pleasant and she bought them to the table. She was followed by waitress 1 with the same drinks who made a point of telling us that waitress 2 had not ticked off that she had served the drinks, (in my opinion this belittling situation was very unnecessary). Even my 17 year old son said it was unfair on waitress 2. We ordered our food with waitress 2. Our food was delivered by waitress 1 and one of the dishes was incorrect. There was no apology and she said she would rectify the error, I waited for a long time for my meal, in fact, some of our group had just about finished their meal before it arrived. The meal was still missing the dressing that I had originally asked for. I was then told that they did not have the dressing that I was originally offered. Waitress 1 came over and asked if all was ok. I explained that we weren’t happy. Waitress 1 offered to take my meal off the bill. We went to the reception area to pay with waitress 3 who was lovely. She presented me with the bill which had my meal removed. Waitress 1 then came over and belittled waitress 3 saying she’d got the wrong bill for us. In fact, she had got the right copy. Waitress 3 appeared to be embarrassed by Waitress 1 behaviour. I paid and we left to have our dessert in a different place. Very disappointing for my sons birthday and we will not be going back. The restaurant was clearly understaffed and my overall opinion was poor customer service which was predominantly 1 member of staff"

The Drabbet Smock

➤ 5-6 Peas Hill, CB9 8DW, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Cafés • Steak • Asiatic • British

"Just returned from having a coffee at Drabbet. Come here quite often but this was the worst experience we have had. First we sat at a high table 2 of the chairs are completely worn out with foam hanging out and filthy so need to swap chairs around then there is food over one of them and the floor underneath was filthy!! Asked if it could be cleaned which was done very begrudgingly by one of the young staff with lots of muck still left behind. Before we left went to the toilets and while there a knock on the ladies and a lad just leaned round and signed the toilet check list, I asked shouldn't it be checked and I was ignored and he left!! Lots of the chairs are falling apart and the cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. The regular staff are great and work really hard but some of the new ones do not."

The Swan Inn

➤ Thetford Road, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Pub • Pubs • Lunch • Drinks

"Due to health conditions my wife and I are shielded. The Swan has delivered several Sunday lunches and deserts now, and all have been hot and delicious. They are far better than in the photo. Don't try the sticky toffee pudding if you have little self control, it is just to die for and my wife confirms the chocolate brownie is just as good. Thank you for such delightful food during these trying times. I would just like to add that the quality of the food is constant. Some of the places we have eaten have served a really nice meal but when we have gone back the quality of the food has been very poor. We are so please to have found somewhere where the food is great every time."

Slates Restaurant & Carvery

➤ Eastgate Street Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk IP33 1YQ, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Pizza • Asiatic • European • Fast Food

"Held my husband's surprise bday party here last night on one of the Christmas party nights..excellent time was had by all. The carvery was fantastic so much food and great quality, lovely staff, a bit of karaoke and good music. Would highly recommend their party nights to get you in the Christmas spirit."

The Place To Eat

➤ Newmarket Road, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Pizza • Coffee • Mexican • Seafood

"Went for lunch with a friend. Used to visit a lot but a few years ago the prices started to creep up and felt other places offered better coffee and more imaginative food options at more reasonable prices. After my recent visit, this opinion hasn’t changed. The menu is very expensive now. £10 for a prawn sandwich. I opted for scrambled egg and smoked salmon muffin. Again £10. More expensive than other venues we visit for breakfast in nicer surroundings. I’m not sure how the eggs were cooked but the whites and yolk were quite separate, almost like mashed boiled egg, rather than a creamy scramble. Smoke salmon did have a nice flavour. It came with a few lettuce leaves and seeds as garnish. Frankly a bit of a waste as no flavour or nutritional value. Coffee latte didn’t have a lot of flavour. As Bury St Edmunds has so many good eating options I’m afraid I won’t be going back anytime soon."

The Corn Exchange

➤ Abbeygate Street, IP33 1BJ, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Steak • Mexican • Asiatic • Seafood

"This restaurant was very busy, so we decided to order some lunch. I ordered the gourmet Tennessee chicken burger along with two other burgers and drinks. Considering how busy it was, I was expecting a wait for the food. However, as soon as I sat down with our drinks, the food arrived unexpectedly. Unfortunately, my burger was incorrect so I sent it back. The staff member seemed uninterested but brought me a new one shortly after. Inside the burger, I found a small piece of lettuce, a soggy tomato, and lukewarm bacon and chicken. The bun was dry and untoasted. It was a very lackluster effort and no one seemed to care. As a resident of this town, I will do my best to avoid this place in the future. It was a very disappointing visit."

Gastrono-me

➤ 2 St Johns Street, IP33 1UN, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom

Pizza • Cafés • Seafood • Mexican

"Brunch with my husband we booked a table, turned up right on time and ordered straight away. Had to wait just over half an hour for 2 coffees and a further 20 mins for our food. Hubby wanted the breakfast bagel without eggs...he doesn't...eat eggs. They refused to do it without as it wouldn't be a tower' he really didn't mind if it was all flat on the plate but still they refused. I ordered a vegetarian breakfast burrito with halloumi. Food arrived. While hubby was busy dismantling his dish to remove the egg (a square of very processed egg custard type stuff) I discovered what looked like meat in my breakfast burrito. There was no mozzarella, scrambled egg, halloumi, sour cream etc... it was just boiled salad potatoes, potato crochets and meaty looking stuff in a sloppy tomato sauce. I mentioned this to the waitress who said I'll check'. She took my dish away and came back saying it says vegetarian on the ticket'. So I asked what the meaty looking stuff was. I'll check' came the reply. Back to the kitchen with my meal. She returned to tell me that it was veggie sausage. I pointed out that sausage isn't mentioned on the menu and there was no halloumi. She said I'll check' and my food went away to the kitchen for a third time. This time when she came back she plonked it on the table and said it's definitely vegetarian' and walked away. She came back a few minutes later with a saucer of Halloumi. The food was disgusting and not what I had ordered. I was not offered a replacement or refund by the waitress. Then I went to use the toilets while my hubby got the bill as we were keen to get out of there by this point. Toilets were another issue! Turns out that they have a water pressure issue and there is no running water to wash hands in the cloakrooms!! So I can only assume that none of the staff had washed their hands before handling/serving our food. When I got back to the table hubby said that the manageress had been over (after we'd asked for the bill and were ready to leave) to see if I wanted a replacement meal. Considering we had already waited 50 minutes for our food in the first place we weren't going to prolong this bad experience any further. So he just paid the bill and we left. The didn't remove my meal from the bill. If you are looking for a good brunch in town try Edmundos, Wrights, Cafe Kottani or Bills for a much better experience. We definitely won't be returning to Gastono-me any time soon."

Rajinda Pradesh

➤ Center Parcs Longleat Forest, St Edmundsbury, United Kingdom, BA12 9AN

Curry • Asian • Balti • Indian

"The food was delivered to our lodge at the specified time and was piping hot on delivery. No vegetable pilau rice on the menu, which is my favourite, but I tried the mushroom pilau and really enjoyed this. All curries were large portions, enough so we had lots leftover for lunch the next day! £75 on takeaway for 4 adults of 3 curries, 2 starters, 3 rice and one naan to share, plus poppadom starters for 4. Like everything else at Centre Parcs we felt this was a bit more expensive than we would have paid elsewhere, but we all did really enjoy our meals. In mid-June you still had to pre-order for takeaway even, not just to eat inside at the restaurants"
