1921 in St Edmundsbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Their 7 course tasting menu was top notch, as was their service! Definitely a place to go for special occasions or a fancy night out.

We thoroughly enjoyed the 7 course tasting menu with paired wines - one of the best meals we’ve ever had! A relaxing atmosphere and friendly restaurant manager really made the evening special. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Very enjoyable evening. 7 course tasting menu with paired wines. Great food, one of the best crab dishes I've had. Interesting paired wines, not always the obvious which was a bomus. Excellent waiter who made us welcome, was very friendly and informative - he made a good evening great. We're not local, but I'd come back for a weekend to eat here again.

Consistently the best restaurant in Bury St Edmunds. Go for the taster menu and the flight of wine. Great for vegetarians and vegans.

We had the 7 course tasting menu here, absolutely fab. All 7 courses were lovely, the service was perfect, attentive but not intrusive and most importantly, happy. Really nice place, we even enjoyed the background music! The bill seemed very reasonable. Will be returning.

Fabulous place for a nice dinner out. Wonderfully accommodating to allergies while serving incredible food.

We had a great experience at 1921. We felt well looked after from the minute we arrived to the point we left. The chefs catered well for allergens (dairy and gluten free). We did the 7 course tasting menu and enjoyed each dish.

Imaginative menu, superb food, and attentive service. Was quiet for a Friday lunchtime, but then Bury isn't London, and the same meal would be twice the price there!

Had a lovely relaxed lunch with family. The service was excellent, as was the food. It was a Saturday treat & we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Not expensive, bearing in mind the quality. Will definitely be back.

Impeccable service. Utterly amazing food. I have been a person that retires from unknown food, and this restaurant fed my inquisitive side!

My partner and I dined at 1921 last night and my goodness the evening was simply perfect. The food exquisite, they catered and adapted everything for coeliac. The service incredible and the most beautiful atmosphere. A huge thank you!

I have had some incredible meals, in various countries, but I must admit, our meal last night was absolutely phenomenal. The food was so flavoursome and the service first class. Highly recommend this restaurant and also if you come the tasting menu is the one to go for, really really great value too for a tasting menu. Worth every penny. We will be back!

Dined here last night and could not have been a better experience. I have a few severe allergies which means dining out is sometimes a stressful experience but the staff and chefs were so accommodating and it meant I could still have a delicious and adapted 7 course tasting menu. First time dining here and will definitely be back.

My partner and I had a lovely meal here for our 2 year anniversary, the canapés were delicious and the mains were also amazing, the service was the unmatched , we were greeted with a wonderful card and chocolates to celebrate our anniversary and all staff members were polite and attentive. We will definitely be returning, a true gem of a place!

Very nice experience the food was out of this world definitely recommend the 7 course taste meal with wine for each course definitely will be going back

I've eaten here a couple of times and will definitely be coming back. Food highlights for me included the canapé selection, the stuffed rabbit and the deconstructed carrot cake (and I say that as one who normally regards anything described as "deconstructed" with deep suspicion but the carrot cake dish tasted absolutely amazing). The service was excellent and the prices surprisingly good value.

This is probably the best restaurant in East Anglia. Exceptional quality of food, cooking, and wine. Very creative dishes which are crafted with great skill and passion from top quality ingredients. Lunch set menue is £29 (as of Nov 2023) for three courses, and is great value for money. More expensive a la carte menu and excellent tasting menu available in the evening (also at lunchtime). Awesome canapé selection - go for the full platter as a sharer. This is where we go if we want a 'fancy' meal. Would have a Michelin star if they had a sommelier.

Amazing food and the service was very good

Very friendly and knowledgeable waiters. They managed to be very attentive without being intrusive, by which I was especially impressed. The food was exquisite. Cocktails were unique and very well balanced. Very pleasant atmosphere.

We had the tasting menu for lunch on my 70th birthday.I can honestly say it was fantastic.Great flavours, beautifully presented and promptly served by very knowledgable staff.Thank you all

Last night was our first time at 1921 and what a discovery! Loved the cosy atmosphere, the food was delicious (full of flavours, different textures and great presentations) and the service was great! The cherry on the top was to receive a little gift from them for our wedding anniversary! Thank you for such a pleasant evening. We will definitely be coming back 😊

I came with high expectations and I wasn’t disappointed. The food was exceptional - I'm sure this place will have a star soon. Go before that happens. Fine dining at its best.

Simply the best place to eat in East Anglia. Brilliant service, excellent quality, innovative. Amazing every time.

Came here two weeks ago for our wedding anniversary and had the 7 course taster menu. What a revelation! Amazing textures and tastes which were just heavenly. We aren’t people who take photos of our food as we prefer to enjoy the moment, but you won’t be sorry that you came here. Can’t wait to go back for my birthday. Beautiful ambience and great decor. Just perfect.

We’ve just experienced the most fantastic tasting menu!! Everyone there cares so much about the combinations of ingredients that provide the most fantastic flavours across all the courses!!! A magical evening, and a great way to celebrate our wedding anniversary!!! Huge thanks to everyone there!

This is the second time we have been to 1921 and it is fantastic. we had the 5 course tasting menu (again) & the creativity in the food, flavours, textures, presentation did not disappoint. We were a group of four and everyone loved it! The waiters & waitresses were funny, friendly & approachable and very knowledgeable on the dishes. Would definitely recommend.

There must be at least 1921 reasons to visit 1921, Angel Hill. We are compelled to go just so we can get ZacknAnnie'd - a new word that sums up the most amazing and deliciously addictive experience that only Chef Patron, Zack Deakins, can deliver along with his wonderful wife, Annie, and their amazing crew. From the moment you are warmly welcomed to the moment you float out on a cloud of culinary sunshine, your tastebuds will have been tantalised, titillated, and treated (our were by the 7-course taster menu and accompanying wine flights). Thank you Zack and Annie and also to our waiter, Kyle, and the lovely waitresses whose names, we are ashamed to say, have slipped our minds (we blame the superb wine flights), for making Sat 29 July so very special. Until the next time we need to be ZacknAnnie'd take care...with gratitude and happiness, the ''sweet, fruity, and floral couple''! xx

We ate here for a special birthday treat and had the 5 course tasting menu with wine. Wow! What a birthday treat. The host was welcoming when the weather was not, they accommodated our every wish and the food was sublime. Having the wine flight with the food was a piece of genius, unusual grapes from different countries that brought out the best flavour in the food (and the wine), Can't wait to go back.

Exquisite food, excellent service. Would very highly recommend

Had the 5 courses taster menu for lunch. It was exquisite and delicate. Amazing ingredients. I have been very impressed with the cheese plate too. Great service. Will definitely be back.

Amazing food and the staff are a credit to the restaurant

Fantastic food, really tasty and flavoursome. Great service and worth spoiling yourself if you have the chance.

Amazing food with very knowledgeable and friendly staff and great value for money too.

bring money! all jokes aside, brilliant service and atmosphere. go for the taster menu, you wont be disappointed .

Awesome experience! The staff is wonderful and the wine and martinis are amazing. Me and my husband came here to celebrate my birthday on the weekend and the atmosphere was amazing and the service was amazing. If you want to try some new combinations of food with style this is the place for you.

Travelled from Edinburgh yo visit friends in Bury and went for dinner here. Absolutely outstanding experience. Excellent value tasting menu in a lovely atmosphere with a top notch team. The crab dish was one of the best I have ever had! Thank you for a marvellous experience.

Excellent. Delicious food, attentive and charming staff .... What else do you need ?

My husband and I went for lunch today and had such a fantastic time. The food was beautifully presented and our hostess (I’m sorry I didn’t get your name)! Was so informative and just made the whole experience very relaxed and welcoming. We’re arranging for our girls to go to the grandparents again and we will be back for another visit. Hannah

Excellent high end restaurant for a special occasion.

We had a large company celebration meal here and chose the tasting menu with wine. I really enjoyed it. I also have every allergy under the sun and the chef was able to accommodate me.

First class food and an exemplary and happy service Team. Personally we found the Tasting Menu comparable to Angela Hartnett's at Murano. Well done to all. Tony and Lorraine Morris

Fabulous 👌 Welcomed warmly on arrival. Food sublime.

Fantastic service Beautifully presented food Diciojs

Amazing, creative food and wine pairing was also nice.

Absolutely amazing tasting menu, catered for my nut allergy with no issues and is now possibly my favourite fine dining experience so far. It’s inexpensive for what it is, i would say go there while you can get a whole tasting menu of that standard for that price.

Absolutely fantastic, could not fault this place one bit. The service was spot on and the food is to die for. I had the 5 course tasting menu and it was perfect. Everything cooked brilliantly. Thanks to the guys for making my day

A lovely setting for good food, this was our first visit to 1921. We had the five course tasting menu, which came with a surprise sixth course of a selection of all the current canapés to try. The food was extremely good, high quality, and where possible was locally sourced. The pea soup was absolutely delicious, with goat's curd and mint and a tiny pea scotch egg. The crab wrapped in mooli with wasabi and apple was fresh and beautiful. The lobster with a crispy chicken wing and sweetcorn puree was sumptuous, and the main of lavender-spiced duck and beetroot was rich and indulgent, and definitely different to anything I've tried before. The desert was a vanilla slice with chocolate ice cream and coffee gel, and was just the right amount of sweet to finish a meal without being too heavy. The staff were polite, charming, and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was cosy and lush. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will undoubtedly be back.

Food was excellent and wine pairing very interesting. Attentive and friendly staff. A little more polish and could be Michelin starred.

We had a fabulous lunch at 1921 today. We ended up having the tasting menu due to exeptional circumstances but are really glad that we did. It was excellent and our pescatarian and gluten free dietry requirements were accommodated excellently. Highly recommended. So tasty. Been looking forward to this for a couple of months. Thank you for accommodating us and looking after us wonderfully 😊

Absolutely fabulous! Thank you to all the staff for your wonderful service and delicious food. Xx

We had the taster menu it was delicious and very interesting. The staff were very friendly, helpful and informative. An enjoyable experience. Would recommend highly.

Disgusting customer service. I purchased a £250 voucher for a gift for my parents Christmas 2019. The pandemic hit and my parents were both told to isolate due to illness. When restaurants opened again my parents were still told not to risk going to busy public places so tried to email 1921 to ask for an extension on the gift voucher. They were ignored. When my father went in a week ago to ask about the voucher after numerous ignored emails. He was turned away with no apology just "we've been open nearly 2 years since the first lockdown." For a business that must've struggled in the pandemic, you'd think they'd want some new customers that if they loved it would be regularly returning diner's. I will be purchasing vouchers from Maison bleue from now on as they've always been amazing with customer service.

Rates with the best in Bury St Edmunds. And that's saying something!

Very good food and reasonably priced too, well worth a visit.

Fantastic establishment - can't be long until 1921 receives its first Michelin star.

High quality food and wine. Very knowledgeable staff. Dramatic diminution of levels of service. 6 wines but only one water refill, and only after finding someone to help us. No wine lists with tasting menu any more. Not sure how this restaurant is going to do. Shame, after over 10 visits. I would go again if friends asked me but not on my own instigation.

Excellent food, great service, highly recommend.

WOW; you would be a fool not to go!! There are hidden gems and there is 1921. We went here for our birthday evening; it was simply magical. I'll add pictures to the review but my wife and I just loved this place. The canapes were so delicate (choose the £11 pound option for 8) and surprisingly worked really well with the bread and butter offering. My wife's monkfish was really good; I didn't take too much of my duck (I was quite fully as I had cut cake earlier in the day). The dessert was fairly delicate and unique; they also gave me a great birthday square. Was very reasonably priced; it had a Michellin feel (the book place, fireplace and decor just give it the right touch) but in a much more relaxed way; we will be back and in way don't want to write this review as it'll "spoil the secret" but this deserves to be far better known.

We came here as a meet up lunch before some Xmas shopping on what was a horrible day! But we had some great food, friendly and professional service topped off with a great playlist!!

Love this place. The food is always of a high standard and never disappoints

Great taster menu. Fabulous service and an all round gastro extravaganza. Well worth the visit.

Really good experience. Staff were friendly and able to prepare the tasting menu to be suitable for a gluten free diet and the wines in the wine flight were superb. Meal and wine wasn't cheap, but for the quality and experience I thought it was excellent value for money.

Absolutely amazing! Food is exquisite, staff are truly incredible too, my new favourite place

Excellent taster menu and wine flight. Good food, service and value.

Outstanding imaginative food and excellent service.

Excellent freat service definitely recommend this establishment!

Great evening, food awesome, service superb and the conversation reverting

Really good tasting menu. Friendly staff. A completely enjoyable experience.

amazing food. very attentive service. definitely returning

Wonderful food and knowledgeable staff who are happy and able to help. A great fine dinning experience.

Excellent modern food with friendly and efficient service. Lunch set menu at reasonable prices. Tasting menu looks tempting!

Stunning food & lovely staff. Relaxed atmosphere too. Lovely!

Fantastic birthday lunch today. Staff were very welcoming and provided a relaxed atmosphere but always at hand when needed. Incredible food; salt cod mousse and squash dumplings were highlights but everything was superb. For what we had the price was low, no more than you'd expect to pay for food at a decent gastro pub. Came away thinking about the next time we can visit. They suggested options for bringing small children along too and how they're happy to go off menu to accommodate. Perfect meal and will definitely be back as soon as we can!

Leaving meal and mixed group of people. Not everyone has a smart phone so the menu and bar drinks can only be accessed by a QR reader. Fine for me but some people struggled. Food was very nice and enjoyed the style of the food. Overall good and would recommend to others.

Fantastic, the staff were brilliant the food excellent wine beer,great lunch. Can't wait to be able to return x

It's a great place with delicious food nice polite service a high standard and good value for money the food is fabulous super wine listv

Throughly enjoyable experience! Great food, great customer service and in these interesting times...felt safe. Top notch!

We have been many times over the years and the quality of both the food and service is always impeccable. The set menu is especially good value considering the standard!

We had a belated wedding anniversary lunch at 1921 on Wednesday and really enjoyed the food and appreciated the attentive service. Thank you once again for a wonderful meal.

Great service and great food, just a lovely experience.

Fantastic service and great service. A great experience despite the COVID-19 precautions put in place

Spent a fabulous evening at 1921 in Bury St Edmunds on Wednesday . The food was amazing, with excellent service. We have eaten here several times & it was our first choice for eating out since "lockdown' has been lifted. Well worth it. Thankyou.

One word: fantastic! Our favourite place to go to. We always have great and exciting food choices, excellent service and a lovely time there. Thank you, guys!0

The food was 10 out of 10. Very posh and the French waiter made the experience absolutely fantastic! We will be visiting again.

A really excellent meal with a small group of friends celebrating a major birthday. Not cheap, but really sorry it. I'd really recommend 1921 for a really special meal.

More than a new discovery. Wonderful!

Always Fabulous. If you are a foodie. Go! Xx

Food and surroundings good, but service a bit over the top and intrusive than expected for this price

Invited here by client worst food experience ever miniscule portions starter inedable mains like baby mush dessert tasteless extremely expensive felt embarrassed letting him pay the bill won't ever be back

The best restaurant in Bury St Edmund's! Exceptional food, well worth visiting.

Amazing food, will try the other menu next time

Lovely, delicate and indulgent food with brilliant hospitality.

A place that needs to be visited. Stylish atmosphere and an outstanding food.
