1921 Angel Hill in St Edmundsbury

Another visit and not disappointed. The restaurant was nice and busy, good atmosphere and ambience. Excellent front of house and waiter service. All the food was spot on, nice big flavours, wonderful presentation. Nice wines complemented each dish, throughly enjoyable. See you again very soon.

Greeted warmly upon arrival, from start the finish the evening was fantastic. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the food was amazing, service was excellent. We would highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again.

What a great experience, a truly amazing experience, great service and food, with a wonderful wine list, one of the best restaurants in Suffolk.

Our first visit to 1921 but will not be our last. Had the 7 course taster menu with one wine flight. All absolutely perfect. The tastes and textures of each course were exquisite. The wine was varied, perfectly matched and interesting. The staff were the "icing on the cake". Both knowledgeable and courteous. A perfect evening. It doesn't come cheap but you get what you pay for. We will be returning for the set lunch.

We visited 1921 this evening for the first time and we weren’t disappointed. The Tasting Menu is a delight, every dish was delicious and the wines matched perfectly. The waiting staff are knowledgeable, helpful and above all make the visit a pleasure. Thank you for an amazing evening.

Birthday couples meal a few weeks before Xmas. Opted for the 7 course taster menu plus wine flight. The food was really interesting and the wine flight especially interesting with a Japanese wine, a cold red. The Asian course (crab) was amazing and loved the Jerusalem artichoke and duck courses. The “tea” dessert was possibly the prettiest thing I have ever eaten. The only weak dish was the chocolate dessert. The atmosphere and service was perfect. It wasn’t cheap but we left feeling we’d had excellent value and probably our favourite meal out for years.

My friend booked the five course tasting menu for a late birthday celebration. Every single course was a taste experience and the restaurant is a real pleasure. This is how you imagine a great meal out to be in every sense. They do it right here.

My husband and I came here for our silver wedding anniversary last night and had the 5 course tasting menu. What a wonderful place! The restaurant has a lovely comfortable ambience; classy without any pretensions. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and the service was faultless. I don't eat meat but it was no trouble at all for them to swap out the meat dishes for something else. The food was all beautifully presented and explained well by the staff. My husband particularly liked the Jerusalem artichoke with champagne velouté. I loved all of it. We will definitely be coming back.

Have been to 1921 several times with family for lunch. Yet again a lovely experience with beautifully presented and delicious food. The staff were both courteous and attentive just as you would expect. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and provides an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and dining that I can heartily recommend.

This was our first visit having only recently moved to the area. We were delighted by the whole experience. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable without being creepy. Food was beyond expectations. I’m not usually a fan of tasting menus but this one was a real treat. Each carefully prepared morsel was full of complex and yummy favours. And each plate was a totally different experience from the last. Thank you. We enjoyed it all. Including the Croatian Chardonnay - flowery with lots of unexpected bottom. Excellent!

This is my fourth time to 1921 and it never fails to impress me. The tasting menu was absolutely outstanding, with each dish cooked and presented to complete perfection. There is not one dish I can fault. The setting is formal, yet relaxed at the same time. The staff are always amazing: welcoming, attentive and very polite. The aperitifs are something I highly recommend. I have eaten in many Michelin star restaurants and 1921 transcends a number of them and, for fine dining, is reasonably priced for the excellent service, food and experience you receive. Will happily return time after time.

This was our second visit. We started off sharing a plate of canapés which were beyond delicious and so inventive, e.g. frogs’ leg tikka masala. These were so good, we actually asked for a second helping before our starters arrived. The starters were really something special. I had the best scallop dish I’ve eaten in years and my wife had a confit chicken/ham hock that was as smooth as silk. For main course we both opted for the guinea fowl. Without question this was the best game bird we’ve ever had. The serving staff were just great. Cheerful, helpful and engaging. Best night out in quite some time. Officially our favourite restaurant in Bury.

What an excellent choice for a Tuesday lunch in Bury St Edmunds. I was thrilled to have found this place and chosen it for a special family occasion. Two of us had travelled up from the south coast, and two of us had come from near Colchester. It's a difficult time for restaurants, and there aren't too many good places that are open on Mondays and Tuesdays in the area. 1921 Angel looked like a good bet, but I must say, it exceeded expecations in all areas. The pre-visit "allergy-check" call was handled superbly, the welcome was warm and genuine, the food was brilliant, the room and decor were super, and the service was friendly and professional. That's everything you want, isn't it? Some of the dishes we had from the set lunch menu: -vodka-cured cod, avocado & wasabi canape -black pepper-cured cod, pickled potato, lime & coriander -venison tartare -Suffolk chicken breast, chanterelles, grape, verjus -Pitchfork cheddar dumplings, glazed salsify, chestnuts -Coffee parfait, spiced pumpkin -Chocolate and orange Two of the components in the puddings - milk crisp and coffee parfait - were especially thrilling. Honestly, it was one of the best restaurant experiences I've had, made all the more enjoyable by being delivered in such a relaxed, non-fussy way. Would I return? Absolutely.

Absolutely incredible tasting menu, service and wine flight. Memphis & Mel were outstanding in their service this evening. I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. If you love fine dining you won’t be disappointed. The 7 course tasting menu with the accompanying wine flight was full of taste and flavours. I’d go as far as to say it’s one of the best meals I’ve ever had. All credit to all the staff, who were exceptional, but special thanks to Memphis and Mel who went the extra mile to ensure our evening was so special and memorable. Thank you 1921, we will be back 😊

Absolutely outstanding the whole experience was amazing. The menu is excellent and well worth trying the taster menu. Totally exquisite. We were celebrating my daughters birthday and were so delighted with the food. Well done to all of the staff with their knowledge of all dishes and Head Chef and his team are extremely creative.

My friends and I loved the food . We chose the 5 course tasting menu. Every course was of a very high standard & beautifully cooked and presented. I personally wouldn’t have needed 7 courses ( which is a choice) . I was quite full...

Just fantastic. Food is incredible. Amazing selection of wines. Absolutely love this restaurant. How dining should be.

1921 pretty much nails the tasting menu experience and thoroughly deserves its recently awarded third AA rosette. The dining area is calming and comfortable, with plenty of space between tables. Service is friendly and informative, balancing fine dining with informality. The menu and wine list...

What a great place for lunch. We opted for the 3 course but will definitely go back for the taster menu. Currently 2 courses for £25, 3 for £29 and 3 choices for each course. I love the fact that you can also opt for...

Went for late lunch on a Friday and loved every dish of 1921's 5 course taster menu. Staff are always friendly, attentive and informative but not pretentious. Great value for money when I think they provide Michelin quality food. Love love love this place!!!

We had the 5 course tasting menu which was excellent, with many interesting and subtle flavours. The waiter was very helpful and gave us good guidance concerning the wine flight, and explained the wines and courses in detail. All staff were very helpful and welcoming....

The coziest and most delicious tasting menu dinner. Perfect end to our visit in Bury St Edmunds. The ambiance was just what we were looking for and the tasting menu was excellent and priced very fairly! We loved it!

Whenever I go to upmarket restaurants I vacillate between Remy and Emile. Part of me wants to linger, enjoying the gustatory complexity and subtlety of expertly assembled dishes. The other half of me just wants to chow down. Amongst a great medley last night were...

Have eaten here a couple of times and enjoyed the tasting menu each time. We chose the 7 dish with wine flight and again was not disappointed. The meal starts with the mixed canapés… it’s impossible to select 4 each so every one was cut...

This was our third visit to 1921 and will certainly not be our last. The food is absolutely superb. The service is nice and friendly and relaxed and you are not rushed through your courses. The whole evening from start to finish was fantastic. Can't...

Beautiful to look at, perfectly cooked, great tastes and satisfying at the end. Good service too. We will return.

8 of us visited 1921 for birthday celebrations, we had the 5 course taster menu (with complicated dietary requirements? And wine flights. The whole evening was outstanding, food amazing paired with stunning wines, and the staff were just superb so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about...

Superb food beautifully presented by attentive staff. We usually select the taster menu because it showcases great food and the quality of the chef. The waiters are attentive without being intrusive and they explain each course on the taster menu. The set lunch and a...

If you’re after fine dining with personality, look no further… I can not rate this restaurant highly enough! The food is out of this world, (I don’t know how they are able make a Gazpacho SO flavoursome!) The staff are friendly, informative and laid back...

We had a lovely evening at 1921. The staff were polite and attentive, the food was very well presented and was delicious. We opted for the a la carte menu - I had squash en croute and my partner had chorizo stuffed rabbit. Both were...

I love this restaurant! The food is incredible. I have never had a dish that disappointed me. The attention to detail is amazing; the staff are amazing; the petit four are amazing; the whole experience is amazing. If I could eat here every day I...

Amazing taster menu, very innovative, superb flavours, textures and amazingly presented. Fantastic staff and ambience.

Sensational. So we turned up with a piano stool - I know, that’s random. But stay with me on this. We’ve been before, but this time we brought our aunt an uncle (who are very well traveled and eaten all over the world at some...

We had a wonderful lunch at 1921. The full tasting menu is a must. My favourite was the Mersea crab pickled wasabi mooli dish. Well worth a visit.

We went for lunch on Saturday, and had starters, mains, and puddings. All of the dishes had a variety of flavours and textures which complemented each other, and all of them were presented in a thoughtful manner. The service was attentive and considerate. The staff...

Our lunch was a fabulous experience, we had the 5 course lunch with accompanying wine. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented with top quality ingredients cooked to perfection. The wine was well matched and interesting choices. We also received friendly, enthusiastic service. We loved it!

What an amazing evening and can’t fault the attentiveness and service by all the team. The food was amazing and fully explained at each course. Highly recommend the Wine Flight which accompanied each course. As Len Goodman used to say, go for ‘Seven!’

Absolutely spectacular. Delicious three course lunch - flawless. And superb service too. Will definitely be back. Excellent value for money. Highly highly recommend.

Sublime, imaginative and beautifully presented food - we always go for the Taster Menu and have never been disappointed. They are switched on to my chocolate intolerance and I am never disadvantaged by changes made to desserts or petit fours. The staff are friendly and...

It's not often, cetainly of late that I have eaten such sumptious, thoughtful and frankly delicious food. I have been meaning to visit 1921 for ages and thankfully a friend and I booked a table for early supper. I had heard good things but our...

We came here after getting married at the registry office and had the private function room. We were treated like royalty, the service, headed up by Kyle, was absolutely fantastic. The food was exceptional and excellent value(we all opted for the set menu). Can recommend...

Fine dining with lovely warm hosts in historic building - all at a fair price. Loved the trout starter and the monkfish. Great canapés and chocs with the coffee. Wonderful lunch - we will be back.

This was a special night, celebrating a 70th birthday. On arrival the 'Head' waiter greeting us with a loud "reservation!".. that was a cue as to how the evening was going to be. we were seated in a booth! ... This meant that the waitress...

What a night we had the 7 course taster menu also the wine flight and it was amazing. The food was to die for and the wine was amazing. The staff talked us through the whole menu and we left with nothing but great memories....

Great experience. Wonderful food served in a great environment by friendly, informed and helpful team. I would highly recommend.

Cannot rate 1921 high enough. Superb food, excellent staff going above and beyond. We were celebrating our daughters wedding and 1921 made a wonderful day perfect Thank you to all the staff front of house and behind the scenes

This restaurant came highly recommended but from our visit, our overall impression was of a goodish but not special dining experience. Staff were very attentive and pleasant as you might expect for a top-end restaurant. My main disappointment was the main course being tepid as...

Recently moved to the area and looking for somewhere special for our anniversary and reviews looked good and we weren't disappointed, the food, ambience and service were all superb. My only regret is not having all the canapés or more of them, they were fantastic...

What a great little restaurant. Staff were great, friendly and knowledgeable. Lovely atmosphere. The food was really good. Tried things I had never had before. Which I really enjoyed. Only let down was our main courses. The monkfish was tough, and very very small. I...

Looks great. Small portions. Quite bland. We went for the 5 course set menu and we were quite excited for it! The food looked incredible but was quite bland really other than the pudding. The restaurant is also quite underwhelming the aesthetics are quite plain...

We had the pleasure to dine @ 1921 for our wedding anniversary. Right from the start the staff were very attentive, professional yet very friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcome. We went for the 5 course tasting menu with the wine - delicious,...

1921 never disappoints me! There is always a smiley face at the front door waiting to see you in. The smiling faces continue throughout the service no matter how busy it gets (and we came on a busy Saturday night). We decided to have the...

We arrived early and were happily seated at our table. We had the 5 course tasting menu with the paired wines and it was fabulous. What a delight to be able to taste locallyl sourced ingredients throughout the menu. The canapés selection were the highlight...

We frequent 1921 on special occasions & were again blown away by the amazing food combinations that were served to us yesterday evening; How you can get that amount of flavour into a delicious selection of canapés is beyond me! The staff are always extremely...

Visited at lunchtime for the set menu in March 2022 (unfortunately, I've only just remembered about a review). Attentive staff without being overpowering. Amazing food, we had the canape selection too which had some delicious flavours. The dishes were all nicely presented and a decent...

Excellent service and food. Beautifully presented- very artistic. Not disappointed. Very good value for £27 for 3 courses.

I had emailed the restaurant direct but no reply I decided to come on here We booked for a meal of 4 last Friday 3rd March for my fathers birthday After arriving we were shown to a table at the back of the restaurant (...

The quality of the food was amazing but the front of house lady was so rude. Went for my 40th birthday ..firstly as soon as we sat down one the waitress dropped a beer all over my guest (a beer that wasn't even ordered) I...

We had the 7 course taster menu - which was an absolute dream of the most amazing flavours and perfect size portions. A culinary waltz of delight with the wine flight - perfectly chosen to compliment each course. It was our first visit but will...

This is by far and away the best dining experience I’ve had in Bury St Edmunds. The tasting menu, including the canapés, is exquisite and really deserving of a Michelin star. I’ve eaten in some great restaurants around the world, and this really does rate...

We had booked an overnight in Bury St Edmunds for my wife's birthday. Recommended 1921 at the last minute by the chef in the old cannon brewery where we were staying. Absolute gem Stunning food in a lovely setting. Big compliments to the Chef. The...

Fabulous food from an obviously, extremely passionate chef and his team. We visited today for lunch, the standard of food was exceptional as it has been on our previous visits. An absolute delight. Wonderful matching of different flavours. If you appreciate good food, wonderfully prepared...

Best restaurant in Bury St Edmunds. Great food and paired wine flight. Very good service and ambiance. Highly recommend

Emphatically the finest restaurant in Bury St Edmunds. Service both professional and charming. A clever wine list too. Salt and vinegar potatoes a revelation, really.The happiest of evenings in a restaurant that should be full every night that it is open.

After a lacklustre meal here last summer with poor service, I wasn't particularly keen to return to 1921. Friends wanted to go so we met up for lunch. Whilst the service was much better, I was surprised to learn that the baked potato soup, which...

I just can't fault this restaurant. Eaten here on many occassions and it's always really special. Lunch is amazing value. Taster menu in the evening is fantastic. Canopies are really special too. The staff are really friendly and very knowledgable. This is easily the best...

First time of visiting this restaurant - we went for lunch and it certainly exceeded our expectations. Delicious canapes, followed by equally good starters and mains. Unusual and imaginative, lovely tastes. Have booked to come back soon to try the tasting menu. We thought the...

We visit Bury St Edmunds a couple of times a year just to eat in this restaurant. We were sadly disappointed this time. Decided to have lunch instead of dinner for a change. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and very professional. Chose the...

This was a Birthday meal and could not have been better. The front of house was welcoming friendly and knowledgeable , the service was perfect and the food was delicious.

We chose to visit 1921 after our elopement in Bury St Edmunds in November. There was 17 of us and two little ones and we sat in their private dining area. The staff were amazing from the moment we made our reservation, making sure we...

We opted for the seven course taster menu and were not disappointed. The food was exceptional. It was also served at a very sensible pace. Leaving just enough time between courses to create an anticipation for the next dish. Great service. Will certainly return.

Very rarely take the time to write a review but having visited 1921 today for lunch felt compelled to. Had the 7 course taster menu and it was simply outstanding…hats off to the very talented chef. I’ve dined in 1,2 and 3 Michelin star restaurants…Mirazur...

My birthday year is now coming to an end 😬 and last night we met friends here for a meal .. I was the only one in the group that had eaten here before!! It was as lovely as ever and my party thought so...

We ate the 3 course lunch … with 2 different wines recommended by the restaurant… the food was superb … service friendly with attention to detail … not in any way pretentious easy welcoming making you feel at home … the lunch and the Rosé...

We can’t believe 1921 doesn’t have a Michelin star! Everything from start to finish was wonderful. We were greeted and attended by a brilliant attentive person at our table all night. I wish I’d asked his name, he helped us with food and wine selections...

I went on my own for lunch and had the daily lunch menu. Food was terrific. Very good range of wines by the glass. Atmosphere comfortable, staff excellent. Can't fault it.

Had the 3 course lunch for £24 each - amazing value, the food was delicious and served in a relaxed, friendly and professional way. It was our first visit and had been recommended to us, it definitely won't be the last! We are so lucky...

This is just a 5 star experience from start to finish!! Staff are attentive, without being too overbearing!! Food was top quality and the accompanying wine sublime. We chose the 7 course tasting menu with the wine flight. What a great choice!! Food was melt...

A phenomenal meal. After eating in several Michelin star restaurants the fish course here was the best I’ve ever had. The canapés were delicious and the rest of the 7 course tasting menu was sublime. The waiter and waitress were lovely and was just an...

I took my youngest Daughter (aged 12) for a celebration dinner. Without doubt, the fussiest eater of my children - she has, hitherto, survived on a diet of chicken nuggets! We had wanted to have a glamorous evening and, therefore, picked the 7 course tasting...

Our experience wasn’t at all the same as the review that said portions are tiny. The servings for each course in the tasting menu are the most generous we have experienced, and we have eaten many! You do get a shared plate of canapés, but...

We booked a table of 8 at 1921 for a family celebration. We were greeted at the door and shown to our table. We decided to go for the tasting menu (I wouldn't normally go for this but the rest of the table was keen)....

This is still our favourite restaurant, it just gets better and better each time. Lovely waiting staff who explain each course, and are polite and helpful. We always have the seven course tasting menu with the flight of wine. Definitely recommend this restaurant and can’t...

This was sadly one of the worst tasting menus I have had in any restaurant. One plate of canopes came and each item was described by the waitress but we had to cut them in two to share. You should normally get one each. They...

After having such a great experience last visit we simply had to book here again on our return to Bury. Warmly remembered and welcomed the whole evening was amazing from start to finish, we enjoyed the tasting menu once more and every dish was delicious....

Went for a lunch menu this week. Food very original and super taste. Very reasonable price - £21 for 2 courses, £24 for 3 courses. Staff very patient and helpful. A very special experience.

We really like this place. We've been there quite a few times now and it never disappoints. One of the best things about the tasting menu is as well as being delicious, it doesn't take for ever! The staff are friendly and efficient. Well worth...

Having visited 1921 last night, I am delighted that the rigours of the pandemic haven’t affected the superb skills of this kitchen. Exciting and delicious. Thank you

Wow! The amount of flavour in each mouthful of food is incredible. We had the five course tasting menu. It was a magical mystery tour with each dish being explained by the very knowledgeable front of house staff. We asked in advance if they could...

We had a truly lovely dinner. Great building, excellent service, superb cooking. All four of us were impressed by the food. Recommend trying the salt & vinegar potatoes…

What a lovely town with a great park we stayed at the Angel hotel a lovely hotel staff were friendly and helpful I would stay there again

Really lovely restaurant with attentive staff. Food was delicious with each dish carefully explained as it was set on the table. Delicious! We will definitely visit again

Incredible. Not a dinner! An experience. Loved it and will definitely be back. The food was beautifully presented and perfectly balanced. This chef clearly knows what they’re doing and isn’t afraid to push boundaries. The staff were knowledgeable and moved about like a well executed...

Visited 1921 with my partner and friends to celebrate a birthday on a busy Saturday evening. From the moment we arrived we were very well looked after by the friendly and professional staff. I have a nut allergy and a few other dietary requirements/ I...

Very expensive for very little food. We have eaten at many michelin restaurants and although the food was nice (apart from the chicken) it was extremely little. The tear and share bread was very tasty but just a normal sized bread roll between two. Such...

We were very impressed with both the food and the wine. We had the five course tasting menu and flight of wine. Each course was outstanding with amazing taste sensations, beautifully presented. Thoughtfully chosen wines complemented each course really well, with some interesting grapes and...

Excellent food and service. Had the 5 course tasting menu with wine. Superb. Service was excellent, atmosphere is great, loved the whole experience.

I was going to title my review exquisite but already see that a previous reviewer has beaten me to it, but the food and service simply was exquisite so its a word well deserved! From booking to follow up confirmation call and then to the...

Visited on Saturday, my wife and I had the 7 course tasting menu with wine. We both loved the whole evening, food, wine and service where all excellent. especially the Sommelier. Could not fault anything, this place deserves more accolades than it already has. Fantastic...

We dined at 1921 on Saturday evening and had such a brilliant time. On the face of the website we were slightly concerned it would be 'pompous' and we would feel out of place. This could not be further from our experience. All the staff...
