"Awful experience! We were on a birthday treat day and went for lunch. We chose the chorizo and chicken pasty with salad and asked for coleslaw. The pasty came tasteless and soggy from the microwave with two pieces of chicken in one three in the other. The filling was chilli hot, so hot in fact my daughter had to scrape all the chorizo out as it was burning her mouth and even I was struggling. The salad was two small pieces of cucumber and tomato a couple of squares of iceberg and a dash of dressing. Of course we were too English and ate all that we could , and although I did tell the waitress no one came over to see us. I asked my daughter several times if I could get her something else but she doesn’t want a fuss so I didn’t take it further. It is advertised as homemade food but they looked very much commercially made and the service after the complaint was non existent."

Loved it last year. Gone downhill a bit this year. Somewhat sullen cashier. Vegetarian quiche varies in quality.

We had a nice breakfast on the patio at the Pilgrim's Kitchen, located at the Abbey Gardens in Bury St. Edmunds. The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff was friendly, and the food was great! View menu

A beautiful setting to meet and catch up with old friends, service was quick and efficient and the sandwich was delicious too. It was very busy, but we never felt rushed once we had finished our lunch.

Went there today and the food was delicious. The staff were very polite and efficient. The variety of food was fantastic from hot and cold sandwiches to lamb hotpot. A must place to visit if your in Bury St Edmunds

First time visiting the pilgrims kitchen, the menu was quite extensive with something for everyone, I had a tuna and cheese toastie which was very good and my friend had a Brie and cranberry one, we then had cake which was homemade and excellent. The staff are all friendly, I really like this place and will definitely be back. View menu

Sadly very disappointing. Lovely location but disproportiantly expensive. Yes it's busy, it's peak summer so you expect that. £8.75 for a very cheap toastie. Not asked bread option. A simple sliced bread cheese toastie, not expensive bread, nothing fancy, should not be nearly £9 it's madness. They throw a few crisps and a heap of salad with it. The menu is perhaps too extensive. Service wasn't particularly friendly either.

Walked in to town from the railway station on a visit to the Abbey Gardens and the Cathedral. It was a hot day and I needed a proper meal before visiting the Cathedral as breakfast had been a banana and two bottles of water. The old refectory, next to the Cathedral, now called the Pilgrim’s Kitchen offered a varied menu of savoury and sweet dishes. This menu, the professionalism of the staff, the decor and the popularity of the restaurant suggested that this was the right place for lunch. I decided to try one of the specials, a lamb cobbler which I could eat in the covered cloisters of the Cathedral. The lamb cobbler, the potatoes and the vegetables, which filled my plate, were all cooked to...

Awful experience! We were on a birthday treat day and went for lunch. We chose the chorizo and chicken pasty with salad and asked for coleslaw.

"Was excited to visit for the first time after seeing the award wins for best Mexican in the local news. Looking online the menu looked good so made a booking for 17:30 on a Thursday. On arrival we were seated quickly. The ambiance in the venue is very nice, with real lit candles on each table and twinkly lights up in the beams of the ceiling. I did need to move the candle to the side however as I couldn’t see my partner past it as it was in our eye line. The candle holder is also an old tequila bottle, which is a nice touch but takes a lot of space up on the table. On opening the menu, I noticed it was sticky. Which wasn’t the nicest. As the room is relatively dark I was unable to tell if this was old food or if they’d wiped the menu’s down, but it does make you a little wary. It took a while for the waitress assigned to our section to then come around to take our order. So we ordered drinks and our food at the same time. While waiting for the food to arrive my partner who has type one diabetes was trying to access the internet to look up carb info, unfortunately we noticed that we couldn’t get any signal so asked for the Wi-Fi code. We were brought around the password from the actual Wi-Fi router which contained password but it has been badly scratched so we couldn’t get it to work. Only a small thing to note should you need access to the internet at all during your visit. When the starters arrived I had the taquitos, pork. I have a gluten allergy and stipulated this when ordering but when the starters were brought out there was no indication on the plating that it was gluten free or any second mentioning from the waiting staff. Nether the less, they looked like corn being a yellow colour so proceeded to eat them, and I have to say they were delicious and I would have happily had a new more as a main course. The calamari my partner described as “umm, good, tasty”. Not long after we finished our starters the mains were brought out. I’m my opinion there wasn’t a big enough gap between the starter and the main. As soon as one plate was cleared, the next arrived. My partner ordered the prawn burrito and described it burrito as “Far too big, Far too cheesy, the prawns lacked something. Because it was so cheesy it was quite fatty and greasy and needed something to cut through it all.” He only ate half of it and on clearing the plates away we were offered to take it home but we declined, we made a point on the large portion and the waiter said “yeah, we feed a lot of Americans here”. My dads American and he wouldn’t have eaten the whole burrito. I ordered the chicken and steak fajitas. The steak was cooked nicely but I found it quite tough. The chicken was over cooked and a little dry. However again the portion size was huge and I was unable to eat it all. There was also not enough room on the table for all of the bits, so I had to rest the foiled wraps on my leg. Again I ordered a gluten free option but there was no mention of this when it arrived and this time the wraps were a lighter whiter colour, which caused me concern. In the end I didn’t eat the wraps because they were the same colour as the burrito wrap and as no indication they were gluten free it caused me some anxiety. Getting attention if the waiting staff to double check was difficult so I just left them to the side and ate the meat veg on their own. The couple wraps I did eat I have to say we’re not the nicest. They were quite tough and at the same time tasted undercooked, like there was some raw taste to them. I wouldn’t order it again. Drink wise I ordered the pina colada and again probably wouldn’t order it again. Though there was nothing overly wrong with it, I’ve just had better. Overall, it was just over £60 for two starters, two mains and two alcoholic drinks. I don’t think that’s particularly bad value given the absolute huge portion sizes. It might be worth Amigos offering a small medium large option at different price points so those who don’t want giant burritos fajitas can get the smaller options at a lower value. Amigos might also end up taking more as there was no chance we’d have been able to eat a desert, however if the main had been more appropriately portioned then we likely would have had one. However, in terms of the allergens. It’s great that they offer gluten free alternatives, however please introduce a GF sticker for the plates or get waiting staff to say “Gluten free Fajitas” when serving. It just helps to eliminate any fear that there may have been a mistake in the kitchen and helps diners with allergies to relax and feel more comfortable. As things stand. We wouldn’t return for what we had above. However, there was a good atmosphere in there and I’d possibly return as a place to have a few drinks and share some nachos, just not for a sit down meal."
